"Yes, young master. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Akon replied immediately, he was very curious why Fang Ruitao suddenly mentioned this matter again.
Fang Ruitao said suspiciously: "But do you only use fishing forks for fishing, why don't you use fishing nets?"
"What are fishing nets?" Akon was stunned, he had lived by the sea all his life, but he had never known that there was such a tool for fishing.
Fang Ruitao immediately realized that these orcs only knew how to use fishing forks, and of course their production efficiency was low, coupled with their large appetite, it would be strange to be able to eat. Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "If I let you speed up your fishing speed by ten times, I believe there will be no problem in sending out five thousand people." ”
"Ten times faster?" Master Akon's eyes lit up when he heard this, "If we really have this efficiency, our Tiger Clan can at least draw 10,000 orcs." ”
"So many?" this time it was Fang Ruitao's turn to be surprised, he found that he had never asked how many orcs there were, and at this moment he had to ask in hindsight: "How many people are there in your entire orc clan combined." ”
Master Akon and Helena looked at each other and smiled, and Helena said: "We have a large number of orcs, and the population is quite complex, some have hundreds of thousands, and some have only a few hundred, so even we don't know how many people the entire orc race has. However, the total population of our five major races plus the vassal groups is about 4 million. ”
"Four million?" Fang Ruitao was taken aback, so many people actually lived on islands in the open sea, what a big island it was.
Knowing the reason why Fang Ruitao was surprised, Helena immediately explained: "There are many islands in the open sea, and the number of islands in the three archipelago islands we occupy alone is more than 5,000, and many of them are very large, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, otherwise they would not be able to live with us." According to my estimates, the entire orc race should have a population of 10 million. ”
"That's a lot of people. Fang Ruitao stuck out his tongue in fright, he couldn't afford to raise these guys just by eating and not working, compared to the elves, the beast clan was an out-and-out clan.
"In this way, as long as your food problem is completely solved, then it is not possible to kill the whole clan. Although he said it with disdain at the beginning, it was to prevent the orcs from raising the asking price, in fact, he admired the strong physique of these orcs, if they were all such tall and mighty soldiers, it would be much easier to fight.
"Of course, all the orcs can fight from the age of sixty to the age of sixteen, and all men and women are elite soldiers. Master Akon praised, but he felt that something was wrong, and added a sentence later: "Of course, some beasts with weak physiques may not be as good as humans, but they are only a few. ”
Fang Ruitao asked again: "I have a question that I have always wanted to ask, I have seen it in ancient books, saying that orcs are no different from humans when they are first born, but they need to let the orcs fuse them with the beast soul to implement the beast king transformation. Since you know that the orcs are discriminated against, why do you still want to carry out the beastmaster transformation? ”
A flash of gloom flashed in Master Aken's eyes, but Helena took over and replied, "Let me explain, in fact, we orcs were born with only a body, but a broken soul. If we don't have the soul of the beast, we will only become idiots. ”
"Yes, it is said that the beast souls of our beast king transformation are all divine beasts, and there was a heavenly beast goddess who helped us strengthen the beast soul every once in a while and injected energy into it. However, since the death of the goddess in the Demon God War, no one has been able to inject energy into the beast soul. Therefore, the beast soul is getting weaker and weaker, and our strength growth potential is getting worse and worse. Speaking of the sad things in the clan, Helena was also in a low mood.
"The so-called low-level Beastmaster Transformation should have been researched by the master of your clan, and he planned to replace the original Beastmaster Transformation. Fang Ruitao guessed.
"That's right, that method is the masterpiece of Master Radi more than three hundred years ago, but how can our wisdom be compared to the goddess of heavenly beasts, so the sequelae of that method are very large, and it can't be replaced at all. Unless we are in that kind of Beast King transformation, each of us can find a ninth-order demon pet, but how is that possible. Master Akon shook his head, this method was already the best alternative among the orcs, but it still didn't work.
"When I have time, I'll go to the orc tribe's place, maybe I'll find a way. Fang Ruitao touched his chin and said.
"The harbor has arrived, my lord, let's go into town. The person in front reported loudly, interrupting Fang Ruitao's thoughts, he raised his head and found that the towering city wall of the harbor was in front of him.
The nearby coastline has many high cliffs that are difficult to climb, and the rocks are very loose due to long-term water vapor erosion, and if you force yourself to climb, it is easy to fall to your death due to rock breaks. In this mountain cliff, the exploration team of Shouyang Province searched for a long time before finding a gap between the cliffs.
The topography of this fracture is very good, it is right at the bend of the cliff, so that the fracture has a natural harbor in the direction of the sea. With this harbor, the construction of the harbor was much easier, and the construction team of Shou Duong Province built a harbor city here.
On the side of the sea, three breakwaters and a lot of wharf berths were built according to Fang Ruitao's requirements, because Fang Ruitao estimated that real big ships would be built in the future, so these berths were left very large, enough to stop tens of thousands of tons of huge ships.
On the shore the dock is fully equipped, and there are cascades of streets and houses outside, as well as a number of large warehouses, which extend all the way to the city walls. At the outermost part of the harbor there was a tall and thick wall, connecting the cliffs on both sides, so that their defensive surface was much smaller, and the city was much less difficult to defend.
Seeing Fang Ruitao's arrival, the city guards immediately opened the door to welcome Fang Ruitao's arrival. The city is still very empty and completely unused. Since Fang Ruitao had not taught them how to build a ship and how to fish before, although the harbor was huge, there was not a single ship. Fortunately, Fang Ruitao instructed them to collect wood in advance, dry it and put it in the warehouse for later use, so that they avoided the embarrassment of having no materials available.
Everyone quickly entered the harbor, and Li Bing, who had been in charge of the defense of this place, quickly helped everyone allocate houses, placed the cavalry wing in a house near the city wall, and arranged for the carpenters to come to the house near the shipyard next to the dock, and soon everyone was arranged in an orderly manner.
Seeing that everyone was quickly arranged to live, Fang Ruitao patted Li Bing's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Li Bing, you have managed this place well, everything is in order." Are you interested in abandoning martial arts, how about I arrange for you to be the city lord here?"
