Chapter 99: Fishman shows his head

Lu Yao observed this forgotten city of the dead.

Sanilo’s city structure has not changed much, except for the addition of a wide canal.

Ghostly little people commanded sandworms to dig artificial canals on the ground. The canals extended all the way to the southern port, bringing seawater into the city, and the water returned to the sea through the eastern river.

The river surrounded Sanilo, allowing the ghosts in the city to go out through the waterway.

The micro-canal project is not easy for Sanilo and is still in progress.

They used all ten sandworms for the artificial river.

Some sandworms dug canals in the soil, while others carried stones and spit out stones and sand, forming crude embankments on both sides.

Some sandworms curled up and rested because they were too tired, with ZZZ coming out of their heads.

Mayor Chapman, with a few ghostly little people, commanded the entire canal project, constantly observing the embankments and canals and exchanging opinions.

The first generation shaman, Lie Cang, and the second generation leader, Yu Zou. Two experienced industrialists.

After measuring the river, Lie Cang said, "The height and width should be enough. If the fish people come, the water depth and the underwater caves are enough for them to live."

Yu Zou expressed his opinion, "Once the fish people migrate to Sanilo, they will need a large amount of meat as food. There are not so many fish near the shallow sea. They will definitely trade with Yao City in the north and Salt City in the west."

"There may be friction and conflicts with them in the early stages, and even direct conflicts."

"Don’t worry."

Mayor Chapman said, "When the fish people migrate to Sanilo, they must accept Sanilo’s city management and follow the city’s laws."

"If they don’t follow the rules, Commander Alex will make them follow the rules."

"But this won’t happen. Although the fish people are numerous, they are no longer the underwater wanderers of their ancestors. They are just an ordinary underwater intelligent race."

"Everything is to offer faith to the great God Yao!"

Lu Yao was a bit confused, so he called Isabella and asked her to go to Sanilo to check the situation for him.

Facing Apostle Isabella, Mayor Chapman immediately became respectful and flattering.

He talked endlessly about the progress of Sanilo in recent years.

"Lady Isabella, Sanilo is different from ordinary cities. There are some special situations here."

"Sanilo does not need food distribution. The citizens are all ghostly spirits and do not need to eat or drink. If there are no natural disasters, each citizen has a long life."

"But on the other hand, ghosts also have innate defects."

"We have no reproductive ability, and population growth can only rely on external introduction."

"Another issue is labor. Ghosts find it much more difficult to touch the stones, wood, and copper and iron entities than ordinary people. It is very difficult for us to revive Sanilo on our own."

"So I held a meeting in the city hall, inviting citizen representatives to discuss and decide the direction of Sanilo’s next development..."

The meeting first determined Sanilo’s first major policy: increase strength and attract outsiders to settle in.

Normal people will not come to this city of the dead. If they want to go, they will go to Yao City and Salt City.

So Chapman set the target on abnormal people.

After unremitting efforts and investigations, they finally found the target.

While searching for lost souls at sea, Dinaer discovered a special race: deep-sea fish people.

As soon as the deep-sea wanderers saw the fish people, they became very excited and gathered around them.

Communication between the two sides was surprisingly smooth.

Dinaer quickly understood the reason.

It turned out that the deep-sea fish people were descendants of a small number of surviving underwater wanderers.

The fish people hid in the deep sea trenches. They waited until the gods changed and the outside world became calm again before daring to come out and appear on the sea.

Things became easier afterwards.

Dinaer persuaded the fish people to settle in Sanilo City and promised to build a suitable underwater living environment for them.

This led to a series of canal projects around the city.

Sanilo is also turning into a water city.

...

Lu Yao turned his gaze to the fish people by the sea.

The deep-sea fish people have a similar appearance to the underwater wanderers, with webbed hands and feet, big dead fish eyes, pointed noses, and no hair.

They are only half the height of ordinary human ghosts and appear somewhat cute and silly in pixel images.

The fish people have very low levels, and the vast majority are LV1, even lower than the ghosts in Sanilo.

Lu Yao looked for the leader among the fish people but couldn’t find one.

He asked Isabella, and she told him that the fish people do not have the concept of a leader.

The fish people are more like individuals gathered together, and their community is very primitive.

Lu Yao opened the panel of a fish person.

...

[Deep-Sea Fish Person Lv1]

MP: 5/5

Damage: 1

Defense: 1

Speed: 4

[Water Element]

...

Classic template data for common fish.

Compared to the underwater wanderers, they can be considered a serious degeneration.

Lu Yao continued to inquire and observe, and found that the deep-sea fish people cannot read or have much intelligence.

They can only communicate with the underwater wanderers. When they encounter other ghosts, question marks appear above their heads. The fish people are very fond of meat and fruits from livestock, and what attracts them to Sanilo is not only ancestor worship but also food.

Just when Lu Yao was slightly disappointed, the underwater wanderers led by Dinaer knelt down one by one.

They faced the direction of Yao City and worshipped.

Dinaer shouted, "The old darkness has dissipated, and the new dawn has arrived.""May the gods protect us, bestow upon us abundance and safety, hope and strength!"

"The god who awakens the Aegir’s Fire and the Deep Sea Lord is destined to be our master and protector."

"Praise be to our Heavenly Father and Savior, God Yao!"

Slowly, the fishmen began to imitate Dinar’s actions, clumsily paying their respects.

A jumble of codes began to appear above each deep-sea fishman’s head.

The codes gradually became clear.

"Praise...Father, God Yao!"

"Praise my...Heavenly Father, God Yao!"

"Praise our Heavenly Father and Savior, God Yao!"

This collective worship seemed to excite the fishmen, and joyful smiles appeared on their faces.

A notification appeared on the simulator.

[Ancestor worship has inspired the deep-sea fishmen.]

[Wonders have inspired the deep-sea fishmen.]

[The deep-sea fishmen have reignited the flame of faith.]

Lu Yao saw it.

In the upper right corner of the interface, the numbers in the population and faith columns began to increase synchronously.

+25

+114

+126

......

In total, both columns increased by 2900 points before finally stabilizing.

Sanilo had introduced so many fishmen, which Lu Yao had not expected at all.

After settling in the city’s canals, the deep-sea fishmen’s first action was to spontaneously build a temple.

Groups of fishmen were moving stones and digging underwater soil around the clock. Under the guidance of the ghosts, they built a temple for God Yao in Sanilo City.

Although the new temple was not very beautiful, it was usable for Lu Yao.

At this point, the three cities and three temples were completely connected.

The only downside was that, although the fishmen quickly accepted the faith, the barriers of language and writing still existed. It would take a lot of time for them to truly learn the local language and writing.

Suddenly, Dinar hurriedly found Isabella.

"Apostle, I have important information that I need to report to you immediately."

"The fishmen say that there is an evil god to the north of the land in the east. This evil god has killed many fishmen and used their bodies for some ritual, feeding a green thing on the ground..."

"That might be the evil god that God Yao is looking for."

Lu Yao immediately perked up.

Isn’t it a coincidence?

This is called ’the righteous have many helpers, the wicked have few’.

The city, the ghosts, the fishmen, they are all mine. What do you have to fight against me?
