Chapter 312: Talent Vacancy (I)

Salin's Iwaki alchemy ship left the coast for thousands of miles before heading north. Sure enough, I didn't run into any trouble. Freette and Lannie spent most of their time chatting with Salin, who felt deeply that he was still too tender.

At first, he thought that Aini was already thoughtful, and compared to his parents, Aini was really simple.

In the blink of an eye in December, Salin's Pangui alchemy ship returned to the northern seas, and when it bypassed the area around Lianyun City, the alchemy ship dived underwater for thousands of miles, without alarming the battleships of Lianyun City.

Talking to the Ferrets, Saleen benefited a lot, so he didn't care about the delay of a day or two underwater.

Being on the ship, Saleen was very relaxed, feeling that his magic strings had grown, but unfortunately there was still no qualitative change, and there was still a big gap between him and the advanced magician. Even so, his current magic strings were more than twice as many as those of a mage of the same level.

On this day, the Iwaki Alchemy Ship stopped and headed for the shore. But it was to the natural harbor seven hundred miles south of the city of Metatrine. At first, Salin knew that there were veins here and could make magic crystals, but he was short of manpower, so he never came here to mine. It's just that the dragon wreck battleship comes to patrol from time to time.

With this return, the construction of this natural harbor has already begun.

It is 700 miles from the city of Metatrine, and it does not freeze until the end of December. The Dragonwreck Battleship can go ashore, but other ships cannot. When the turtle alchemy ship approached a distance of fifty miles, it had already been discovered.

The dragon wreck battleship was outside the harbor, lowered two small boats, and approached the Iwaki alchemy ship. Seeing that it was the boat, the boat went around in circles and drove back.

Seeing that the guard was not tight, Salin frowned. Winged Skull said: "Master, there is already a way to identify the warships, in Metatrin City, I imitated the appearance of the Turtle Alchemy Ship, and built a few small tugboats to transport goods, they all recognize it." ”

"Come ashore and see, Uncle Philett, and come with you. "Saleen also knew that his time in Metatrin City was short, and it was good that they could do it with winged skeletons. In the plan, Saleen was designed according to the military port, whether it was a familiar ship or not, whether it was known or not, it had to be thoroughly carefully inspected before it could be entered.

Salin stepped onto the deck and accompanied the Ferrets. Nania didn't come up down there, this port. She has participated in the design, and there is no sexual interest in looking at it.

The alchemy ship entered the harbor and saw that the harbor was empty, only a few small boats. The defenses on the shore are not bad, and Saleen's Elemental Eye sees more than twenty magic stone cannons. In addition to the magic stone cannons, countless dark chambers were also carved out of the cliffs in the distance, which were the positions of the alchemy crossbows.

The port facilities are rudimentary, but on both sides, more than twenty miles apart, there are already two castles rising from the sea. These two tall castles were simply carved out of two stone mountains.

Saleen calculated briefly that the two castles could each accommodate 10,000 people. At the top of the castle is a magic tower that has not yet been completed. According to the normal situation, a castle of this size has at least 2,000 garrisons, but these two castles are purely military operations that protect the harbor and interdepend with the cities behind them, so the garrison can exceed 5,000. Two castles are 10,000 troops.

Craftsmen, mages, thralls, and auxiliaries fill in the remaining gaps.

"The lord of the castle is here! The lord of the castle is here!" the people who were still working on the dock made a noise, but it was the winged skeleton that waved the flag on the ship.

"My lord, you're back so early!" Salin's boat docked, and Ge Yi brought someone to greet him.

"Hmm, why are you here?" Salin saw that Geyi was here, a little strange.

"Lord Daniel said, this is an important place, but there will be no enemies for the time being, let me keep an eye on it. Ge Yi said excitedly. Daniel also began to trust him, which is equivalent to saying that he is starting to really enter Sarin's inner circle.

"How's the city going?"

"Three, those three old guys didn't come, we used slaves, and the speed was a little slow. At least next summer, the new city will be inhabited. "Ge Yi is talking about the three kings. Salen wasn't there, Aini wasn't there, and those three guys had no one to command, so they hid in Metatrin City to practice. Without the help of the Three Kings, it would be impossible to get a large number of undead.

"How dare you slack off?" hehe...... Salin thought to himself, after I advanced to the Wizard of the Wizard, I would not be afraid that these three guys would resist desperately, and now I will tolerate them first.

Ge Yi took Salin and others to the west, more than ten miles away, before he saw the newly built city. The city was also trouble-free, and a wall was built outside a valley more than two miles wide, and after the hills on both sides had rested, it became a fortress. However, this is a closed terrain, and the army can only attack from the side of the sea. There are mountains everywhere and there is no other way to go.

If it weren't for the lack of roads here, Saleen wouldn't have chosen another 700 miles north to build Metatrin City, which is a hundred times easier to defend than Metatrin City.

"Why hasn't the dockyard been built?" Salin's elemental eye could see the entire harbor and the open space in the hundreds of bungalows, and he didn't see even the underwater dock, only a rough digging of a deep-water harbor that he didn't know what to do.

"My lord, the shipyard was built here, and if we want to build a fleet, we don't have that many sailors. Geyi replied.

Salin knew that this was ultimately a shipyard and a factory for refining synthetic magic crystals, not a place to handle goods. But the progress of this work is too slow, isn't it the purchase of a large number of slaves? Those captives in the East China Sea should be used in large quantities, but here is deserted, and it seems that there is no hurry, and there is no sense of hurry.

"My lord, there is really no rush here. ”

"Why don't you hurry, hey......" Salin stomped his feet, he couldn't expand on the land for the time being, so he could only build a city in this wild place, but on the sea, if he could find a way into the countries of the East China Sea. Immediately need a fleet on its own. There are also many islands in the northern seas, and if they are all occupied, it will take hundreds of ships to defend them.

These islands are also the supply points on the sea route from the south to Metatrin City, there was no Metatrin City before, these islands are not of much value, their own cities are now prosperous in trade, and every summer in the future, there will be a large number of merchant ships going north, how can Alchemy City not be concerned.

If Alchemy City or Lianyun City occupied these islands, it would be equivalent to blocking the shipping routes. If you collect some more taxes, your business will be greatly affected.

The passage on the road to Metatrin City is too far, and it will take two thousand miles to get to Phoenix, and only by taking the sea route can you quickly trade with Qinyin in the mainland. If the sea route was controlled, it would be difficult for Metatrin City to become a commercial center.

Lianyun City once sent a warship to harass Metatrin City, but was defeated by the dragon wreck battleship, and the people of Lianyun City may not be willing, they have a dragon wreck battleship, and two battleships from Shrig Island, guarding Metatrin City, it is difficult to attack, let alone defend hundreds of islands.

Daniel was not a great man, and he did not understand the importance of the sea, so he devoted all his strength to the construction of Metatrin City, and invested very little in this new city. Fortunately, I made a trip, otherwise I wouldn't have known that this was the case.

Salin was not in the mood to look any further, he said to Ge: "You are here, you should have a lot of free time, I will send someone over again for the construction of the city, you hurry up and practice swordsmanship." If you don't become a Sword Master, you will never be productive, and you don't want to think about how old you are. ”

Salin himself was less than twenty years old, and he reprimanded Ge Yi like an old man. Ge nodded and said, "My lord, I am indeed not suitable for this thing, but you are not here, and Lord Daniel does not dare to assign this task to others at will." ”

Ge Yi was grateful in his heart, if he hadn't become a quasi-sword saint at the age of forty, he would have been a sword master for the rest of his life. His talent is not outstanding, but Saleen can give him a good teacher and is willing to work hard, so he has this opportunity.

"Okay, in two or three days, I'll send someone. You return to Metatrin City. Well, construction has just started here, stop first, give me the drawings, and I'll take them back and redesign them. Salin commanded, and Philet watched, just laughing.

"Uncle Freit, what are you laughing at. ”

"Salin, you're in too much of a hurry. Also, if you want to achieve great things, you must use more people and don't always be suspicious. ”

"That's what Uncle said. Salin thought to himself, it seems that I still have to go to the earl that Joey introduced to himself, an earl who can definitely manage a city. Joey said that the earl could be trusted himself, so ...... Then use it.

On the boat, Salin was listless, and the voice of the winged skeleton sounded in his head: "Master, the matter of the battleship, I can take my time, the white bone battleship must be manipulated by the undead from time to time, most of the structure is the same as the magic battleship, and the weapons can also be arranged with magic stone cannons, and I have reserved the turret." If I remove the undead manipulation, I'll be able to make a batch in no time. ”

"What about the sailors?" asked Salin sullen, depressed.

"Master, even if you have time, it will be difficult to recruit suitable ones, just cultivate them yourself, didn't we also buy a lot of slaves from the East China Sea? ”

So, Saleen thought to himself, even if he hired sailors, he wouldn't be able to use them on battleships. Even Rex couldn't help with this, Bitterwater County was inland, and there wasn't even a river, so there was no way to train sailors.

Seven hundred miles, the turtle alchemy ship took six hours to arrive, the coast here was frozen, the turtle alchemy ship sneaked under the sea, Salin saw that under the crescent-shaped peninsula, an underwater fortress was built, and a large number of undead were cruising under the water, monitoring the port without any four corners.

The Turtle Alchemy Ship passed by, and those undead followed, and the winged skeleton quacked, "Master, this harbor, I'll protect you well." ”

"These undead?"

"Master, it wasn't summoned from the undead plane, but I made it. ”

"Can you create the undead?" Salin asked, surprised. To create undead, a ninth-level necromancer is okay, and a winged skeleton is only a seventh-level necromancer, which is obviously a bit out of common sense.

The undead created by this are more useful than those summoned, the only drawback is that it is difficult to resurrect, and once killed, the soul fire dissipates.
