Chapter 157: True Colors
"Young master, the mermaid statue has been installed at the city gate." Reagan said respectfully,
"I see." Claire nodded, but he didn't get up to check.
He had already seen the effect, and Teklin asked Isaac to study some small spells, making the static mermaid statue dynamic, and after entering from the city gate, the closer he walked to the statue, he could see a dynamic fine picture of a mermaid coming out of the water, which was very beautiful.
Claire was shocked when she saw it for the first time. The only downside is that it costs a lot of magic crystal nuclei, but it's worth it, and it will definitely amaze those who enter Nafu City for the first time.
Claire even carved out that place and made it into a large square, where some future activities can be held, so as not to have to run to the school and the city gate every time any event is held, which is a shame, and he is now a rich viscount with an annual income of nearly 10 million.
Claire hasn't been idle these days, and directly thought that under the pretext of letting Isaac study well, she snatched the magic airship he had to ride every day, and then asked those craftsmen to transform it into a tour airship, hehehe, there is another charging item.
Even Isaac had been decadent for a few days, but he also knew that he had lost his mind these days, and he was running around in an airship almost every day from morning to night, and the inhabitants of Nafu City were accustomed to the behemoth in the sky.
After the transformation is completed, the tour airship only needs a hundred gold coins to be able to fly in the airship, and the flight experience is much better than being used to fly, there will definitely be some wronged people who are willing to pay, Claire seems to be able to recover so much cost to develop this airship.
"How's going on over there in the West End?" Claire asked.
"Everything is going well, it's mostly finished, there are still some shops that need to be refined, and the staff are almost trained, and they should be open in a few days."
"Okay, you keep watching, nothing can go wrong." Claire stood up, "I'm going to Rhona's side." ”
……
Claire pushed open the door of the hospital's backyard, and Rhona was pouring salt into a large pool of water, which had been built for Eve, and she had lived there for a long time since she rescued her, and Rhona's clinic was rarely opened, lest the residents of the city see the mermaid Eve swimming in the pool.
"Lord Viscount, you're here!" The mermaid Eve emerged from the water and waved excitedly at Claire.
"Just call me Claire." Claire repeated, this Eve didn't know who to learn from, and as soon as she saw her, she called Lord Viscount.
"Yes, Lord Viscount!" Eve shouted, and dived back in.
Lorna was still pouring salt on the side of the pool, and although Eve had said that it was the same with or without salt, she always felt that merfolk lived in the sea, and the water in the pool had to be salty.
"Coming?" Rhona said hello.
Claire glanced at Rhona and replied, "Ang, I'm pouring salt again." ”
"You care about me!" Rhona blushed and shouted, since Eve said that it was the same whether she poured salt or not, Claire had often laughed at her about it.
Claire couldn't help but laugh, "I just said it casually, and I definitely didn't mean to mock you." ”
"Humph!" Rhona pinned her face to the side.
"By the way, the fruit tree is about to bear fruit, so come and have a look when you have time."
"Got it, just call me when the time comes." Claire replied that Claire still attaches great importance to the magic fruit that can make people advance to high-level mages and golden knights, and if she had taken one of these fruits to the banquet at that time, she would not have been forced to make up those ghost stories.
"What is the Viscount going to teach me today?" Mermaid Eve resurfaced at this time, staring at Claire with wide eyes and asked.
These days, Claire often comes over to teach each other the lingua franca and some common sense of the human world with the spirit connection, and Eve is a high-level mage, and she learns things very quickly, and it takes less than a week to communicate with people.
Claire sat down on the edge of the pool, stroked the water waves with her hand, and said softly, "Don't learn those things today, learn something else." ”
"Learn what?" Eve's expression was still excited, and she didn't feel irritated by hearing about the study.
"Performance." Claire said, and then told the story of the mermaid princess to the other party.
"Uh-huh!" Eve nodded vigorously, she didn't cry a handful of snot and tears like other little girls, she didn't have any concept of love to sing and cry about.
"Am I just going to show the mermaid princess in it?" Eve asked.
"Yes, it's not difficult to act in your true colors, when the time comes, you just need to stare at the shore by the coast, and you don't even need to deliberately show any expressions, they will make up for it themselves."
Eve had already begun to turn around as Claire had said, looking into the distance.
"That's it?"
"Yes, just watch it like that, and it's easy work, just go there every few weeks, and spend most of your time here playing with Rhona."
There is also a reason why Claire wants to arrange it this way, it is impossible for everyone to see the mermaids on the coast as soon as they come to Naffu City, how cheap it is.
It is to let a small number of people be "lucky" to meet, and others have no chance to meet, so as to stimulate the desire of those people to come and watch the mermaid, if you can see it every moment, then there is no such urgency to come. There's no way, people are so cheap, they don't care about what they get easily, and only those things that they get at a certain price will be cherished.
People who meet mermaids will feel very lucky, and they will definitely be willing to spend more when they are in a good mood.
And those who have not met people will not give up in their hearts, and they will definitely live in Nafu City for a few more days, and the consumption in these days is in Nafu City, so the money has not flowed into their hands in an uproar?
"Are you alright?" Eve asked, holding Claire behind her back.
"Hmm." Claire nodded, "Very good, you can do it in the future, work once a few weeks, work for more than ten minutes each time, it's not very tiring, and I'll let Rona pick you up at the designated place in the evening." ”
"Good!" Eve agreed sweetly.
Claire reached for her hand, and Eve leaned in as she had done before.
As for Eve's safety, there is definitely no problem with ordinary petty thieves who have their own eyes on it. As for some nobles who want to do it, then they have to consider the big nobles behind those merchants in the West District, if they capture Eve, it will be equivalent to cutting off their financial routes, and no one will do this kind of stupid thing.
Those big nobles in the West End won't have any thoughts about Eve, even if they guess that Eve is Claire, they won't do it, after all, Sophia's face still has to be sold, and she can't offend Sophia for a mermaid.
