Chapter 313: Naris the Voyeur (Part I)
[Tomorrow is also a watch.] 17th, 18th, 19th two watches, after this month's three watches]
Rex was the last to arrive, and when she arrived, Saleen had already finished asking about her departure. The city of Metatrin is doing well, but in the winter, the harbor is frozen and there is no business. However, there are still many trading houses in the city, and on land, the trade route to Phoenix is still in operation.
The Tiffany's family organized large caravans with hundreds of monsters, all of which were thick-skinned camels and horses that could survive on hay. With these hundreds of camels, the Tiffany's people can still have a business in the winter, and they can keep the shops in Metatrin City running.
Other trading houses are also following suit, and for a while, the price of this cheap monster has risen several times.
The baroness of the Roland family and the people left behind by Ani began to form a mercenary group, and now it has expanded to more than a thousand people, and on the two thousand miles of trade routes, all of them are mercenaries registered in Metatrin City.
The Caucasians of Sika arrived more often, Garulan was captured, and the Caucasus was completely invaded by the forces of the Holy See. Countless Caucasians were left in exile. At least 50,000 people came to Metatrin City.
Almost all of the Caucasians were warriors, and under the leadership of Sika, a Caucasian battalion of 10,000 men appeared.
Untrained Caucasians are not good at conquering cities, but they are the strongest warriors who defend cities and patrol the wilderness. Patrolling the core of Metatrin is now under the control of the Caucasian Battalion in Sika.
That way, at least there's no way for outsiders to infiltrate the heart of Metatrin City.
The mages of Shreg Island are just cultivating, and the municipal government is a piece, and Daniel is in charge of everything. The bone battleship left behind by the Wing Skull is cruising overseas, and this season, no one will harass them at sea.
As for the temple, it is completely controlled by Neris. The three demons under Neris have completed the transfer of power and have taken over the defense of the temple.
The population of the city had swelled to three hundred and fifty thousand, and these people had registered at the town hall as Metatrins. There are quite a few nobles in the city, there are one hundred and twenty-four, and these more than 100 nobles are in the city, and there are about 20,000 servants and personal soldiers.
More nobles have already built castles north of Metatrin City, and the construction of castles is huge, but with the presence of three kings, there are naturally countless undead spirits available. The nobles also spent a lot of gold coins to build castles. These gold coins flowed into the town hall and became Saleen's wealth.
Rex's two swordsman battalions, numbering more than 50,000 men, founded a small town west of Metatrine. There were only two bannermen in the city, stationed near the county king's mansion in Rex.
As confusing as it sounds, Metatrin is now in good order.
Rex had already trained two battalions of troops for Salin, and these two battalions were responsible for the defense of Metatrin City, which was not yet short of manpower because there was no fighting.
Now Metatrin is expanding the town to the north, following the example of Holy Rock and stationing a professional army outside the city. When Saleen's army was sufficient, Rex would withdraw his army from the town to the west.
"Rex, I'm going to build an arena. "That's the first thing Saleen and Rex say.
"Salin, you're in too much of a hurry, aren't you?" Rex certainly knew what an arena was, and she was a little resistant to it. After all, the death and injury in the arena is difficult to control.
"I'm afraid there are too many professionals in Metatrin City, and if there is no arena, there will be a lot of trouble. Now that Metatrin City has just been built, these people are here. Haven't adapted yet. After adaptation, many private organizations will inevitably emerge. I might as well bring it into my management ahead of time. ”
"That's true, but it costs a lot of money to build an arena. ”
"That's somewhere else, and this time, I'm going to use the Three Kings. ”
"I mean, once the arena is up and running, it's going to cost you every day. The expenses of all personnel, the winner's reward, and the cost of repairs. ”
"As long as you don't object, it's not a problem. Saleen said confidently. He knew that he had plenty of money in his hands now, and he could fully support this arena. Besides, the arena is not unprofitable, there are so many free people in the city, and selling tickets is a lot of income.
Saleen was now thinking about whether to set up a gambling game where the residents of Metatrin City could place bets.
This kind of thing, the nobles of Yunliu are doing it for a long time, and the nobles of Qin Yin feel that it is a sign of uneducatedness. I'm still a magician, and if I do this kind of thing, I'll be scolded.
But setting up a gambling game can increase the income by more than three times, and with so much money not to be made, Saleen is not a Skochenian.
"Okay, since you want to do it, I'll let Nania stay and help you design the arena. She has a lot of drawings in her head, the construction of the arena, you just ask her to give you ideas.
Saleen thought about it too. I can't let the mages of Srieg Island do this, and the knowledge in my head doesn't have anything about this kind of unpopular building. I had to ask Nania for help.
After discussing with Rex for a while about training the army and developing in Side Star City, Salin sent Rex away and discussed the development of Metatrin City with Neris and others.
The city of Metatrin is centered on the temple and is divided into four parts, namely the four cities of south, east, west, and north. The southern part of the city is a relatively closed environment, there is only a small plain outside the city, and there are mountains on all sides, and there is a towering mountain peak more than two miles wide near the sea, and there is no way out on all sides. It is inhabited by Caucasians who live a natural life in the mountains, like their ancestors.
The East Side is a business district, close to the port, where large and small merchant families gather, and where the young men of the four largest business families have set up their mansions. The best location is Aini's Mansion, which is the most open area.
The northern city is inhabited by nobles who have come to take refuge, and it is all high-end buildings, and there are almost no civilians.
In Xicheng, most of the people living in it are free people. If you want to build an arena, the best place is in the West Side. There are no poor people among the freedmen of Metatrine. Free people who can travel thousands or even tens of thousands of miles to settle here have a certain amount of wealth. When Saleen first sold the West Side house, he also stipulated that it should not be sold too expensive.
For this reason, the free people of Xicheng also lived well, and there were many workshops and craftsmen here. There are also professionals who come to try their luck in Xicheng, such as some low-level mages, swordsmen, and even rare wizards, assassins, thieves, and so on.
It's getting late. Salin then asked everyone to rest, but he was caught back in his room by Sika.
"Salin, did you miss me?" asked Schika with a grin, turning back to lock the door.
"Yes. ”
"That's not enough. Sika beckoned, and Salin swallowed, but ran to the door, closed his eyes, and probed with his senses. Sure enough, Nellis was in the next room, peeking here.
Saleen tried to open the door and send Neris away, but Sika grabbed him by the collar behind his back and jumped onto the bed with him.
"Salin, I miss you. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll do it myself!" Salin was startled, although his Daedric suit was unusually strong, he was still afraid of being damaged by Shika.
"Don't worry, I know what's heavy. "Sika helped Saleen remove his robes, but the belt of the Demon God suit was only untied by Saleen himself. Inside was a tight-fitting magic robe, and after Salin took it off, he quickly used a cleaning technique.
"The cleaning technique is not good, and the bath is comfortable. Sika pulled out a large wooden barrel with such an object in her Ring of Gifts, and Salin smiled.
Using magic to create a large amount of water and filling the bathing barrel, Sika quickly undressed and jumped in.
"Come in, Saleen. Sika beckoned, and where Salin could withstand the temptation, he also quickly jumped into the water.
"Sika, are you in a hurry for us to meet for the first time?"
"Remember, you're obsessed with looking at me here. Schika rubbed Salyn with his chest.
The temperature of the water rises rapidly under the influence of magic, and the mist evaporates. Naris eavesdropped next door and heard that the two of them were actually taking a slow bath. And talking. Nellis slammed the ground viciously and muttered angrily, "I haven't seen you for so long, it's a waste of time!"
"I'm not a lust fan, you hit me at the time!" Salin exclaimed, he was still young at the time, and he only thought that Sika was beautiful, but he really didn't have any other thoughts.
"It's just a hit, now you can watch it. Sika held Saleen in his arms, his heart full of happiness.
"Schika, marry me. Salin couldn't help but speak his mind.
"Now you're not mine, marry you, the Caucasians won't agree. Besides, marry you, and I may lose my power. ”
"How is this possible?" Salin was incomprehensible about the loss of this power, as a magician, he believed that what belonged to him would not be lost for unreasonable reasons.
"You don't care, if you want to marry a wife, go find Rex. She estimates that she will soon talk about marriage, and I think that at most next year, someone will come to propose marriage. ”
"What are you going to do if I marry someone else?" said Saleen.
"What should I do? Who would dare to stop me when I miss you. Sika said with a big grin, and at the same time turned his back and said to Salin, "Itchy back, wipe it for me." ”
Salin smiled bitterly, indeed, Shika is now a priest of the earth, and there are not many people who dare to provoke her. Even Rex didn't want to offend such a person. The question is, do you want to marry another woman?
"With some force, Salin, what do you want. Schika felt her back itch even more, but it was Saleen's hand that gently drew circles on it.
Master, hard!
Nellis muttered next door, complaining in her heart about Saleen, why hasn't she gotten to the point for so long. At this time, someone outside knocked softly on the door.
"Come in. Nellis sat down and returned to her chair.
Tris walked in, came to Neris and knelt respectfully. "Master, I'm ......"
"Advanced?" Neris lowered her eyelids and didn't look at Trish.
"Yes, master. I drank a magician's potion and advanced to the Great Demon, but I don't have the strength of the Great Demon yet, so I have to consolidate it slowly. ”
"Isn't it good to be a big demon and get out of my control?" But he never thought that the reason why Neris was in a bad mood was because he disturbed Nellis to spy on Salin.
