After the water supply system is established, the public facilities of the town will also need to keep up, fountains, cisterns, public baths, these must be built, because it has been decided to expand the town, and the public baths will be built outside the town.

The five-hundred-meter-long town inside is divided into the lord's quarters, and in addition to Suren's castle, this will be the residence of the lord's guard, including the families of the guards, and after the outer city is built, it will be relocated to the outer city in its entirety.

The newly demarcated city wall is one kilometer long, the total length is four kilometers, it is a small city, the original city wall has become an inner city, in order to build the outer city, Su Lun took the barbarian guards to the wasteland to capture a large number of slaves.

In fact, after their continuous sweeping patrols, there are very few goblin kobolds and gnolls around the territory, although these creatures do not have enough brains, but they also know how to avoid dangerous areas. Suren's territory is now a danger zone for goblins, kobolds, and gnolls.

If you want to capture slaves, you need to go farther away from the territory, and after sweeping away several goblin kobold tribes, the number of slaves in the territory has broken through to two thousand.

The construction of the outer city wall Su Lun does not plan to use the spell of turning mud into stone anymore, the main reason is that the amount of work is too large, in Su Lun's plan, the height of this city wall is ten meters, and the thickness is also four meters, such a large amount of work If he relies on him to turn mud into stone alone, it is estimated that it will be thousands of times.

So he is going to use bricks and stones to build, and for a long time to come, the territory will belong to the development and construction period, and there will be a lot of bricks and stones needed, and Suren is going to build a brick kiln factory in the territory to burn bricks and stones for the territory.

With the sugar trade and a stable source of wealth in the territory, Suren once again asked Jean to go to the northern cities to buy slaves to enrich the population of the territory, and now there are more than 1,000 human slaves in the territory, and there are more than 300 displaced people who have followed the caravan. The population of Suren Territory reached more than 1,700 people, and there was no pressure to allocate some people to build a brick kiln factory.

Su Lun was in a good mood during this time, and the construction speed of the territory has accelerated a lot after he has money, and he fooled around with Chrissy all night last night, and he is full of energy after waking up in the morning.

However, his good mood did not last long, as a soldier of the security team hurried in on horseback, and the bad news made his face gloomy.

Three fishermen were killed in the harbor last night. Su Lun's original good mood when he heard the news suddenly dissipated, and he walked towards the port with a gloomy face.

......

The deceased was a slave purchased by Suren, and the job of these slaves was fishing, because the territory had been cleared so many times, and the town had become very safe, plus there were two rivers blocking the port, and the goblins and kobolds could not get by, and the gnolls would not come here because they hated water, so those slaves would stay near the port at night for the convenience of work.

Resting on the fishing boats in the evenings, returning to the shore every three or five days to rest, and by the way replenishing some other household items, in fact these fishermen's points are at the top of all efforts, and the various fish caught in the harbor are the main source of meat for the territory.

Because bison need to be cultivated, they are no longer slaughtered, and impala has also begun to try to domesticate and breed, and before it is successful, it is no longer slaughtered, and the source of meat in the territory is much less. Now that three fishermen have suddenly died, the others must be worried about their own safety.

When Su Lun arrived, there were already many people gathered around. Seeing the lord coming, the surrounding people got out of the way, and Sheriff Harrison greeted him.

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Su Lun frowned, and Harrison, the sheriff on the side, hurriedly shouted at the surrounding crowd: "Except for the fisherman, everyone else will immediately return to their jobs, and the offender will clean the public toilet for three days." ”

Hearing the sheriff's shout, the crowd immediately dispersed, and Suren followed Harrison to the harbor, where three stretchers had been placed, and the bodies had been recovered after they had been found.

"When did you find out? What was the cause of death? Did you find any clues? Suren came to the corpse, and a soldier hurriedly lifted the covered linen.

"Sir, I found it this morning, when the other fishermen reported to us that there were a few people missing, and after some searching. Harrison replied.

"These bodies should have been dragged into the water and drowned before they died, and you can see that they have a lot of tangled marks on their bodies, and their faces are purple. "As a veteran with reconnaissance skills, Harrison can still judge the cause of these people's deaths.

"These people were suddenly entangled by a sneak attack in their sleep, and the enemies they encountered were so strong that the three of them had almost no ability to resist, and after they died, the murderer also gouged out their hearts. ”

"Preliminarily, the murderer is not a human being, it should be a monster in the water. ”

The three deceased were all adults, because the food was plentiful, and the bodies of these slaves were not weak, they were killed without even having the strength to resist, and it was clear that the murderers who attacked them were strong.

"Ding, trigger the quest, ask the host to solve the crisis in the river as soon as possible. ”

"Did you find anything on the fishing boat?" asked Suren after examining the three corpses.

"There was some damage to the three fishing boats, and there was a lot of slime on the fishing boats. ”

"Go over and have a look. "Several people came to the fishing boat in the harbor.

The fishing boats had been towed to shore, and all three boats had some damage, and in many places there was a translucent slime, which was smooth and smelled fishy, apparently the killer was a creature from the river.

"Monsters in the water, could it be a fishman?" said Suren with a frown.

But the fish-man's range of activity is on the seaside, and it is at least a few hundred kilometers away from the sea? Those fish-people have brains pumped and run here to kill people? No, looking at the bodies of these people, they should be entangled and dragged into the water by something like tentacles, and the fish-people have no tentacles, Su Lun thought quickly in his heart.

"Where was the body found?" Suren continued.

"It was in a weed, and when it was found, three bodies were entangled in weeds. Harrison led Suren to a river bend and pointed to a place of aquatic weeds.

Soon several people came here, and sure enough, a lot of mucus was found on these aquatic plants. Suren and others continued to search the surroundings and expanded their search. It didn't take long for a soldier to discover a new clue.

"Sir, there is slime here, too!" Su Lun went to check, and a lot of slime was also found on the aquatic plants here, and then everyone continued to search for the slime, and more and more clues were found.

The group also followed the clue and continued to search, and after continuing to search for half an hour, there was no other discovery ahead, and everyone put the main search area on this water.
