Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2054 - 951: The Highest Ceremony of the Laiserman Kingdom
"Th-this... this is truly too precious." Duis was as flustered as holding a hot potato, speechless and bumbling.
After all, he just wanted Gaven’s assistance in solving the shortage of shipbuilding craftsmen in the City of Usmer.
Who would have thought there would even be a super magical beast offered.
Although he hadn’t witnessed the power of the Armed Ray Fish firsthand, the series of figures involved in Gaven and Palado’s negotiations made the significance of this item hard to miss.
Because a new three-masted warship costs only about a hundred thousand gold coins.
A million and a half gold coins could buy an entire fleet.
Yet here with Gaven, it was merely about making a set of armed platforms.
The key was, Palado merely hagged symbolically and then nodded in agreement.
The nickname "Smiling Shark" wasn’t one boasted about, but earned through real combat experiences.
This could only mean that, in their understanding, the price of one and a half million was not particularly outrageous.
"Don’t be too happy too early, this is not for you personally, but for the City of Usmer.
This kind of magical beast is just a special tool; how much value it can truly bring depends mainly on its master.
If the master is daring in thought and action, it will undoubtedly display extraordinary value.
If the master is strictly by-the-book, even if given a Giant Dragon, he would just use it as a mount and parade it around.
I will take the time to inspect the City of Usmer, and if you perform adequately, I will let you continue to control it.
If it’s too disappointing, then I’ll have to hand it over to someone else."
Gaven put the unpleasant words out first.
Innovative thinking is not something everyone possesses.
Especially among the Felen people, who are even less proficient in this aspect.
Because these things are restricted by personal knowledge, insight, and nature.
It’s somewhat better now, after all, with rising social status, frequent interactions are with the elite from all over the society, even if not outstanding in every aspect, they’re at least up to standard.
Not to mention the initial group of gnolls led, even when embarking on the Conqueror Path, all facets were just picking generals among dwarfs, barely making do.
To have a large pool of talent available, it still depends on establishing a relatively complete education system and beginning large-scale territorial talent development.
"Rest assured, Commander, I would never let your expectations down." Duis patted his chest and assured.
At this moment, expressing loyalty was definitely not wrong.
"I’ll leave the remaining matters to you, I’m heading back first." Gaven considered for a moment, confirmed there were no other important things, and prepared to leave to continue with the unfinished work of migrating the apple tree.
At this instant, he suddenly understood those God Incarnations better.
Perhaps when they met with him, they also had to steal moments from significant events, eager to return and handle unfinished affairs.
That might as well be his future lifestyle. Even just these few territories left him a bit overwhelmed, wishing he could create several incarnations to share the burden.
One specifically for governing the territory, another for exploration, while the main body could devote to studying Professional Ability and enhancing combat strength.
However, his foundation is too shallow; he doesn’t want to meddle in the God’s Realm and can’t shape his Divine Nature Incarnation.
This counts as a loss in the gains and losses.
Amidst a flash of Magic Aura, Gaven disappeared without a trace, leaving Duis and Palado, two City Lords, staring at each other.
Both of them being old hands, this awkward atmosphere didn’t last long.
Palado said enviously: "Lord Duis has truly been blessed by the Goddess of Luck, not only getting the position of City Lord for free but also now obtaining a strategic weapon for nothing. Do you know how much manpower and resources I’ve invested, and how long it took to find these three Cloud Mantas?"
"I don’t know." Duis shook his head honestly, then curiously asked, "Lord Palado, did you really invest so much in a single Cloud Manta, is it worth it?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Worth it?" Lord Palado said exaggeratedly, "Just based on this question, you’re not far from having the control of the Little Ray Fish taken from you.
This is a strategic weapon, with terrifying power both against air and ground.
Its emergence will change the mode of future warfare.
The side without Armed Ray Fish will be extremely passive.
Think about what it would be like if a load full of gunpowder barrels or equipped with many Fireball Magic Wands of Low-Level Mages flew directly over your army and walls, right above the City of Usmer?"
Hearing the scene depicted by Palado, Duis’s pupils contracted to the extreme.
Involuntarily remembering a few months ago, the scene where Tukan Eagle Knights blockaded the City of Usmer.
Before Commander Gaven broke the siege, those citizens were confined in their homes unable to leave, the entire city resembled a dead city.
That’s only because their main weapon was bows and arrows. If replaced entirely with spellcasters.
Perhaps a small squad of such Eagle Riders could burn down the entire city.
And the personnel these Cloud Mantas could carry is far more than a small squad.
Fitting a hundred people on board would still leave room to spare.
Palado urged: "When you have the chance, you should apply to General Gaven to see the Cloud Manta he has already armed.
Only then can you truly feel its unique charisma.
It will be more helpful for your usage of the Cloud Manta in the future, talking in theory can never compare to direct confrontation."
