Chapter 564: Since ancient times, murloc robbers

In the following days, Xia Duo would either go to the library to read or study on his own during the day, and occasionally went to the executive office of the Sevinton Parliament to inquire about the convening of new residents.
Of course, what is indispensable every day is to take a glance at the port, while walking, to see if there is a fleet of ships with the flag of Daxia.
As for the evening, I studied Feld's spellbook with Niya. Until the end of the month, Feld's spellbook had been identified and entered the real cracking stage, and the fleet still did not appear.
In addition, there are two major events at the end of the month. One is the official establishment of diplomatic relations between the Elfaran Kingdom of Ilfaran and Netheril, and the new city of Sevinton will be expanded to the south.
According to the grapevine, Ilfaran did not want to use the same embassy area as Comanso. In addition to building a new trade zone, the most important thing is to build the Ilfaran embassy.
However, this news has not been confirmed by the principals of the Seven Towers.
Another major event was what Chateau himself thought. The Sevinton Council issued a military operation. The Seven Towers Group's territory jointly sent troops, led by the Great Arcanist Badigar himself, and cooperated with the Danzo Dwarf Kingdom to clear the underground passage. .
Of course, just that, Chardonnay didn't think that this matter had much impact. The most important thing was that the Seventon Parliament set up a special army for this operation, and it will continue to station underground passages in the future.
This meaning is different. It is also the first time that Xia Duo knew that the underground passage was originally built by the Netherites. Perhaps it was just shelving the dispute in the past. Now it is another kind of "since ancient times".
In addition, what impact the underground passage will have on maritime trade routes is also worth studying.
Of course, this is not Xia Duo's research field.
...
At noon that day, Xia Duo did not return to the Giles Tower directly after eating at noon. Instead, he took a turn and prepared to go to Sevinton Westport to see. Most of the ships from the south stopped here.
At this time, it has been more than a month since the territorial fleet departed. Compared with the last round trip, it took only two months. This trip took a lot more time.
Of course, considering the actual situation, from the southern border to Sewenton, there are many sections of rivers, most of which are countercurrents. Only when the water flow is gentle in winter, can it reach within a month.
But now, May, also known as the month of snowmelt, is already the end of the month. In the spring, the current increases and the corresponding voyage will be extended.
In general, it was normal within two months. Although Xia Duo was a little anxious, he was not at ease.
...
Although Seventon is regarded as the capital of Netheril, strictly speaking, it is actually the territory of the Seven Towers Group. The huge flow of people gathered from the snow melting competition naturally dispersed after the snow melting competition ended.
Without a large number of outsiders, the old city will not be mentioned. Even the new city is slightly deserted, at least some of it does not meet the name of the capital.
Passing through the trade zone and coming to Westport, Xia Duo felt a hint of prosperity. Of course, the entire population of Netheril was only a few million, and it was still spread over a large area of ​​land.
No matter how prosperous here is, there may not necessarily be a prosperous ordinary town in Xia Duo Township. It is commendable that Xia Duo can say a little bit of prosperity by the standards of the earth.
"what--"
Seeing the familiar Daxia banner from a distance, Xia Duo's eyes lit up, and the careless pace that was supposed to be an after-dinner walk couldn't help speeding up.
When we arrived at the pier, we could see the whole picture of the six cargo ships neatly lined up. At this time, it was not past noon. There were crew members on the deck eating and chatting around.
Of course, there are a few guard soldiers on the dock, wearing the standard leather armor of the Savile collar, which is very conspicuous.
There are hundreds of people to be transported in one trip, and there are no soldiers to oppose the formation, and Chateau is not at all relieved. He borrowed two teams of soldiers from Saville for protection.
In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are also mages hired by several chambers of commerce, such as Hans and Slavin, who are all official mages and can basically cope with most situations.
Xia Duo didn't see the mage outside. If he wasn't resting in the cabin, he would have gone to Seventon to play, but Xia Duo was not familiar with them, and perhaps he would not recognize them if he encountered them outside the port.
"Ah-Master Xia Duo! Why are you here?"
As soon as he approached, Xia Duo was seen by a soldier, and then other soldiers also reacted immediately and came over to salute.
Xia Duo waved his hand and asked them to take themselves aboard, but there was already a soldier who ran back to call someone in advance. When Xia Duo got on the Lucky Owen, Old Owen was already waiting on the deck.
In addition to him, there is also the President Massa of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce. He did not expect that he would come over in person.
"President Massa, Captain Owen, it's been a long time since I saw you. Is the journey going well?"
"The reputation of the adults has spread to the mainland. We drove all the way, as long as we know that we are led by Daxia, there is no embarrassment." Massa smiled and slapped flattery.
However, Xia Duo was not surprised by this. One of the events in the snow melting competition was made by him, and Netheril won a big score. It would be strange if he had no reputation.
It was just that he saw how old Owen was hesitant to speak, so he asked again, "Captain Owen, do you have anything to say?"
"My lord, we encountered a group of murloc robbers while passing through Lake Mecht. Although they were eventually wiped out, I am worried that we will encounter more when we return."
Lake Mecht is no stranger to Chateau. It is a large lake that must be passed from the south to Sevinton. It is far larger than the small lake dug out by Saville to widen the river and build the port.
Murloc robbers, Xia Duo often hears, and sometimes there are even single murlocs running to the Savill collar, but the strength of the murlocs is very weak. A well-armed regular soldier singles out two or three. No problem at all.
And the more the number, the easier it is to crush ~EbookFREE.me~ because the murlocs are not civilized, they are messy, and can only fight the wind. Except for their higher intelligence, they can basically be regarded as enhanced goblins.
Of course, this is on land. If it is in the water, ordinary humans basically cannot beat the murlocs. After all, they are considered aquatic species and have a natural advantage over humans.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked, "Does the Murloc have a spellcaster?"
"This--" Old Owen hesitated for a moment, and didn't make any assertions, but just said, "I have to ask the Master Mage who was with the ship."
"What about them?"
"They went ashore to drink!"
"..."
But after all, he was not his own, and Chateau had to look at Massa, "President Massa, look at—"
Massa knew immediately, "I will send someone to find them back!"
"Go!"
"Yes."
Seeing Massa stepping off the "Owen" and getting on another ship, Chateau turned around and asked Owen, "When did you get to Seventon? Have you been to Parliament?"
"My lord, we arrived yesterday afternoon. I am not sure about the parliament. This is the responsibility of President Massa."
Xia Duo nodded. The task of handing over and transporting the new civilians was indeed entrusted to the three chambers of commerce. Strictly speaking, the only six ships were the "Owen" and the other newly bought ship. His boat is Chardonnay.
In terms of personnel, only the Owen number can be regarded as the leader of Xia Duo.
The relationship between the other personnel is still being led by Saville, of course, to be turned around, which is what Xia Duo said.
It's just that the current Daxia Ling doesn't have any commercial atmosphere at all. Even if the other party joins, he will do the same as now, and he doesn't want to force the three chambers of commerce to join, just use it.
