Chapter 183 Patrol
Lin Qiu spent half a month training the two-legged flying dragon at home, and spent his boring time training his body. Now that he has finally returned to his original shape, it is time to go out to search again, oh no, to patrol.
Lin Qiu walked through the white clouds, feeling the moist touch of steam on her wings. This feeling was as satisfying to a dragon as lifting a veil with her fingertips.
Although resting, Lin Qiu's flying speed was not slow; he scanned the islands below, carefully observing those that looked interesting, and then continued flying.
After several years of conquest wars, the White Fortress expanded rapidly, and Lin Qiu has faithfully held the title of Lord of Thousand Islands.
There is a small town between Tasman Island and Bailey City. It was established less than three years ago, but it has developed rapidly and become one of the most prosperous cities in White Castle. This is White Castle's gateway to the outside world, the commercial city of Cassos. .
Through the trade center of Kasos, White Castle brought rare products from the sea to Bailey City, and then sold them throughout Faboles.
Bailey City profits from pearls, overseas spices, high-quality raw materials, deep-sea corals and other rare commodities that are rarely seen on the mainland. Amid the civil strife and piracy in the Kingdom of Luo, the trade craze in Bailey City increased instead of abating.
Due to the domestic war and the city's prosperity, a large number of refugees fled to the city despite the long distance. The steady flow of food and the influx of cheap labor increased the city's strength in all aspects.
But the number of refugees was too much for Bailey City, and the new trade center needed manpower, which led to Cassos, a strange city where humans and monsters live together.
Soon, Lin Qiu arrived over Kasos.
The island where Kasos is located is not big, but it has two twin peaks one kilometer long. The terrain is steep and precipitous. Kasos is in the open space between the two peaks.
The open space between the twin peaks is a natural port, where ships of all sizes dock and depart under the guidance of port workers.
On busy docks, workers move goods, and merchants or captains line up to pay taxes (protection fees) at the dock office.
Lin Qiu saw a thick fish's front legs (BCBA) sticking out from the window of the toll station, holding up a license plate, and took a bag of gold coins from a businessman.
On the hillside on the side of the dock is the urban area of Carthage, with white houses lined up in a row, and neatly planned roads dividing the entire city into several blocks.
The wide main street was crowded with people, and various races walked on the stone streets.
A jackal avoids an oncoming fisherman to avoid the slime from the fish skin clinging to his fur, a caveman haggles with a human merchant on the roadside, and an ogre clutches a skewer of fried calamari, leaving him greasy He moved his palm away from a human mercenary, ignored the mercenary's unhappy complaints, and continued to move forward.
On the way, the little girl noticed an unusual shadow on the ground. She raised her head and saw Master Lin Qiu among the white clouds.
Mom! The dragon is here again!
The little girl's words alerted other people outside. Everyone looked at Lin Qiu in the clouds, glanced at him, and then continued to do their own thing.
Only a few new residents and strangers looked curiously at Lin Qiu in the sky.
When other pedestrians saw this scene, some smiled and walked away, while others whispered: Villagers.
On the roadside, a vendor looked at Lin Qiu in the sky and muttered with some confusion: It's strange why the dragon looks bigger this time.
At this time, a customer interrupted his thoughts, and he plunged into the work of appetizers that were about to be baked.
For the people of Kasos, Lin Qiu's appearance is nothing new, because the land under their feet is ruled by Lin Qiu. They see Lin Qiu several times every year during their inspections, so his appearance is nothing new. unusual.
There was even one time when Lin Qiu fell from the sky and stole all the squid skewers, causing a riot, but this only happened once. The government office compensated the vendors for their losses, so the riot quickly subsided and the townspeople continued Life.
Lin Qiu looked at the residents who were used to Lin Qiu's presence and nodded secretly. The plan was successful.
That's right, patrolling Lin Qiu's territory is not just a casual stroll, but methodical. While discovering and eliminating threats, he will also pat his butt and leave, subtly letting the residents get used to Lin Qiu's existence, thus Get used to his rule.
With good security and sufficient survival resources, residents will soon develop a sense of belonging. After more than ten years, people will be completely accustomed to foreign rule.
This method is slower than violent conquest, but there are no hidden dangers here, and Lin Qiu is not short of time, they can afford to wait.
Lin Qiu watched for a while, flapped his wings, and continued patrolling.
Then, Lin Qiu flew in the opposite direction, towards the ocean of agricultural production.
In the past three years, Gurgaru and the fishermen trio selected several suitable sea areas in the territory based on the plan left by Lord Lin Qiu, and transferred all industries related to agricultural production to certain areas to form an industrial scale. Under centralized management, this is the agricultural area, the granary of White Castle.
In addition to the agricultural area, it is also specially divided into military animal breeding areas, game reserves, military areas and trade areas headed by Cassos.
High in the sky, Lin Qiu looked at the island groups in the agricultural area below. The islands in the agricultural area are relatively flat, covered with square farmland, various fruit trees are planted along the islands and roads, and caveman villages are scattered on the picturesque islands.
These cavemen were originally at the bottom of the food chain, but they have been able to live a good life since they attracted the attention of Master Lin Qiu with their special racial talents.
They now have no worries about food and clothing. While engaging in agricultural work, they can also engage in recreational activities at other times, such as dancing on the dam.
On the edge of the island are fishing villages, and in the shallow waters around them, a large seafood farm has been established, part of it new and part of it relocated from other places.
Each island is equipped with a dock, and ships on the dock transport these goods to various places in Baigrad.
Lin Qiu was satisfied with the bustling atmosphere in the agricultural area and continued flying to the Colosseum breeding area not far away. .
