Chapter 461 The Black Crow Knights
The arrangement of the gift of joy is in place, and I think the ghost of Caines should be much more stable. Mu Hua also placed a fictitious goddess in Caines City, which can be regarded as a "faith environment" for Ikaros.
Let Rita handle these things, and set Ikaros as Aqua's messenger. Ikaros will contact Rita later. If there are any problems in the future, Ikaros will communicate with Mu Hua.
"Ivan, how is your farm?" After explaining the church, Mu Hua looked at Ivan.
"The livestock are all dead, basically useless. These days, we need to find some people to irrigate, otherwise the farmland vegetables will be abandoned sooner or later." Ivan said a little frustrated.
"Did the helpers on the farm have an accident?" Mu Hua asked.
"The few who survived were all scared away. Alas, I can't blame them." Ivan sighed.
If all the livestock on the farm died, the farm would be a disaster area for mosquitoes. It would be difficult for a few cowboys to survive. Mu Hua shook his head secretly.
"How about this, you gather the helpers who have become ghosts first, and then pick some ghosts who know how to do farm work. I will give you some skeleton warriors to possess and keep the farm running first." Mu Hua thought.
The farm has special mechanical equipment for irrigation and harvesting, and only needs a small number of people who know how to operate those equipment.
Skeleton warriors can't play those machines. Things like harvesters are not unable to start, but they don't know where they are going when they start.
Ghosts can't physically interfere with real things, but letting them possess skeleton warriors solves the problem, and the rest is just tedious chores. Ivan nodded in agreement, and then looked at Mu Hua with some hesitation.
"Mu, I plan to transfer 60% of the farm's shares to you. Can you send some more powerful skeletons? I still want to raise monsters." Ivan said to Mu Hua.
"Yeah, I think so too. For the shares, 40% is enough. The farm is still your farm. I will send you some skeleton generals later, but you are still too fragile now. You can command them, but don't try to possess them."
"For the time being, you can use the skeletons and undead. Regarding the breeding of monsters, I may have other ways to restrain monsters in the future." Mu Hua confirmed.
"You should know that ghosts devouring each other helps growth, and whether it is livestock or monsters, ghosts can be born under my influence."
"So it's best to do breeding and slaughtering, and apply to the government for help in meat sales channels. Do you understand what I mean?" Mu Hua said again after a brief hesitation.
No matter how much the memory of life is retained, ghosts are still ghosts. Devouring other ghosts is also a way for them to grow, and jealous ghosts do not only affect humans. Ghosts transformed from livestock are also a growth resource for Ivan and others.
"Yeah." Ivan nodded heavily. He understood what Mu Hua meant.
Let alone the ghosts of livestock, planting is not as profitable as breeding, and the demon merchant Besero has said before that if there is a philosopher's stone, it is possible to get the seedlings of ambergris.
That is a fruit that can tempt magic beasts, so there is no need to say more at this time.
Mu Hua had already thought about raising magic beasts, and now the city of Caines really has a tendency to keep living people away.
If you can raise magic beasts willing to become human servants, then you can make some pets and war beasts in Caines, which should bring some popularity to this ghost town.
Ivan was interested in magic beasts when he was alive, but now he has become a ghost and has fewer desires, but he has more expectations for Mu Hua's words.
"My lord, what about me? I also grow magic plants?" After Ivan, the head of the logging yard, Gena, asked a question that caused Mu Hua to roll his eyes.
"Give you some skeleton warriors, find some ghosts willing to work, and continue to plant trees and cut wood." Mu Hua said to Gena.
Magic beasts can be raised. It is feasible to raise some low-level and high-yield herbivorous magic beasts as food, gradually build a food chain, and raise some high-level magic beasts.
As for magic plants, forget it. Those things have very strict requirements for the magic environment, and building a magic environment basically involves smashing magic stones and magic cores.
It is basically impossible for Mu Hua to consume magic stones and magic cores on magic plants. There is a lot of land that can be planted on the Abyss Island. If he wants to plant magic plants, he will go to the island to plant them.
Caines City? Plants that require the breath of death can be considered, as for others? It is better to honestly build a lumberyard.
Mu Hua did not make any special arrangements for Gena. Although Gena was disappointed, he also expressed his willingness to transfer 60% of the shares of his industry to Mu Hua. It seems that this should be the result of their long-term discussion.
Although the Magic Empire has emperors and nobles, there is no rule that lords can encroach on citizens' property. There are even some merchants who compete with lords and nobles for business. Business dealings depend on their own abilities.
However, Gena and Ivan are obviously different. After becoming ghosts, they have too many things to rely on Mu Hua based on their past trust.
Let's not talk about the blessing of joy for now. Because they completed the evolution of dead souls in a short period of time, some more knowledgeable ghosts suspected that it was Mu Hua who made them devour a large number of ghosts that led to this evolution.
When the dead souls kept their mouths shut, they truly experienced the cruelty between ghosts.
Now, when it comes to establishing intersections with necromancers and witches in the outside world, Gena and his group are more afraid, afraid that they will become food for other ghosts at any time.
Gerna also wanted to rely on Mu Hua, but Mu Hua didn't even take 40% of the shares he transferred. He took 20% symbolically, just to let him maintain the operation of the lumberyard for the time being, or to open up some orchards and recruit as many ghosts as possible.
Work, make money, go to Old Barron's tavern to drink ghost drinks, and save money to buy constructed undead that can be relied on. Sustainable development is the key to stability. As for the products produced by Caines City, I think the imperial government will also promote sales.
"Mark, Tim, you..." After explaining to Gerna, and then to Mark, Tim and others, Mu Hua was a little scratching his head, and was hesitant about what tasks to assign to them.
The restaurants, butcher shops, fast food restaurants in the town, these business places, you say continue to open, there are not many living people in the town, how to operate?
You say don't open, a city without these shops is not only dead, but also living people can't even maintain a normal life.
"Mark, Tim, Sam, you take some people and build the farmer's market first, at the junction of the town and the new city."
"When the town is more stable, the blockade of the courtyard must be lifted. According to the specific situation of the residents of Cairns City in the future, some restaurants will be opened at the appropriate time."
Mu Hua gave a rough order. They were all old acquaintances, so he found something for them to do, so that they would not worry about being abandoned. The so-called future residents must refer to living people, and they would figure out how to do it themselves.
"Mu, I heard that some ghosts' families outside want to make trouble, and the demonstrators in Heyman City have clashed with the guards who blocked the border." Speaking of lifting the blockade, Old Morey interjected.
"That's none of our business. Even if I just said that, I just want to help you restore a relatively normal life." Mu Hua shook his head and ignored this issue.
The empire gave him this territory with an obvious intention of passing it on. Now is not the feudal era. Even if it was the feudal era, no one said that the lord must develop the territory well and leave it alone. Even if the people are living in poverty, the people can just live in another place.
If the father is not kind, the son will leave his hometown, and if the country is not kind, the minister will go to another country, not to mention it is just a ghost town.
Now these people in Caines City are not killed by him. When the citizens died, the city hall in the new city area was complete and the officials were in place. The relatives of the ghosts wanted to make trouble and went to the imperial government.
I am an honest and jealous ghost, taking care of the ghosts who died in vain in your family, but I didn't provoke anyone.
If you want to settle in Caines City, go to Ingrid. If you want to get rid of the ghosts in the city, Mu Hua will send you off with both hands. He doesn't care about other things, and Mu Hua's statement of favoring the townspeople also makes Old Morey and his group agree a little more.
"Find out who is causing the trouble, let the ghosts communicate with their families themselves, use the Eye of True Vision if there is no psychic potion, and ask the imperial government for anything you need."
"Explain clearly to the ghosts in the city. Even if I want my territory to be filled with ghosts, it depends on how they maintain the stability here."
"If there is trouble and the empire wants to deal with me, I can only drag you guys into it, and I can only leave."
"Anyway, I can find a place for us to live wherever I go. At worst, we can move into the courtyard!"
Although he was arranging all kinds of things, Mu Hua still cleared himself up. Hobert agreed to this matter, and Mu Hua looked at Selma and Old Morey.
"You two should pay attention to those who are willing to stay in Caines City recently, and give priority to those in the town. I will find a way to help them obtain psychic physique. I plan to train some necromancers." Mu Hua said, and then looked at Doctor Dorn.
"Dorn, go pick some ghosts in the town, find those with a gentle personality, and take them to Tricia to learn how to help people temper their souls."
"Yeah." Dorn responded with a low voice, and Mu Hua patted Dorn's shoulder as if to comfort him. Everyone had not been dead for a long time, but they were not in a good mood.
"Morey, let Hobert run your gun shop first."
"Selma, Morey, if you train necromancers, they must join the security system of Caines City. I plan to let you command them in the future. What do you think?" Mu Hua asked Selma and Old Morey.
The purpose of getting psychic physique is to allow those people to contact their family members who have become ghosts, but since they are all psychic, they might as well become necromancers. After all, they are "pure blood", which can be regarded as adding some characteristics and self-protection power to Caines City.
Selma and Old Morey are both old people in the town. They have great prestige in the town, and the most important thing is that they are close to Mu Hua.
The two were old, but now they have become new ghosts. The things they were told before were all related to production and life, but the necromancer at this time could be considered an armed force. Mu Hua was obviously expressing his respect for the two.
"It's no problem to pick people. We will try our best to help you find good people. However, the guard? Why not just set up a knight group? If there is a problem with the funds..." When Selma suggested, she was interrupted by Mu Hua.
Mu Hua forgot that nobles can form their own knight groups, and unlike the guard, the knight group can be considered his private soldiers, private soldiers recognized by the imperial government within his territory.
"Well, don't worry about the funds, just form a knight group, and you two will be the leaders of the knight group in the future."
"The Black Crow Knights." Mu Hua confirmed.
Following Mu Hua's speech, at Selma's instruction, Old Morey and Selma knelt on one knee and swore allegiance to Mu Hua with the ceremony of knights.
The knight adhered to virtue and listened to the oath led by Selma, Mu Hua's eyes were dazed.
Black Crow, that should be the first skill he acquired. (End of this chapter)
