Koro was stunned after hearing this.
Isaac too.
Only Yun Wei remained calm. He even smiled and asked Koro, "Village official, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"
Koro's mind was still a mess. He murmured, "Okay... I'll listen, okay."
Yun Wei strode past him and headed toward the wider coastline. "The good news is that Isaac is the master of the rest of the Icebird Flower Territory, so I will integrate all the resources of the Icebird Flower Territory and use them for my own purposes."
In the entire continent of Zhuyuan, only two duchies exist in this situation.
The other one is called Bethlehem.
However, the situation might change once Master Sid strips the entire Golden Cloud Kingdom of its titles and honors. But he also understands that Empress Catherine will definitely not ignore this.
He was initially uninvolved in this matter, yet he was also somewhat eager to see the two clash.
Catherine was indeed a visionary monarch.
In just one week, the other side has quickly stabilized the situation in the entire Red Moon region.
Yun Wei gazed at the dark, surging sea in the distance and couldn't help but sigh in despair.
What we learned from Master Qin was perhaps just a minor detail among His Majesty's many schemes.
It's important to understand that sponsoring the construction of an additional city in Bili City is not simply a diplomatic gesture of goodwill.
The settlement of foreigners nearby could force the dukes of Red Maple, Windward, and Genal in the south of the kingdom to surrender while on guard.
With Catherine holding the eagle tail collar, her daughter-in-law holding the Moritty collar, and her "granddaughter-in-law" holding the ice sparrow collar, who in the entire Red Moon would dare to rebel?
Even the Red Moon Territory, which was under the jurisdiction of the Radiant Holy Church and was already in ruins, was no exception.
Even the Lord of Light, Dilis, was related to the Temu Brown family.
Moreover, despite having four major families, Bili City ultimately only had three cities—
It wasn't that Yun Wei was maliciously speculating about her; it was just that he happened to know the story of "two peaches killing three warriors."
But for the Queen, achieving these goals was merely a matter of drawing a negligible sum from her idle, stagnant private treasury...
Wait a moment.
Yun Wei suddenly realized that he seemed to be becoming a fanatical fan of Empress Catherine.
But there's nothing to be ashamed of admitting it.
All of the above are merely the intentions that he could discern with his limited perspective.
Moreover, the other person does possess a unique charm, which he is consciously or unconsciously imitating.
Koro was completely numb; everything he'd heard today was beyond his comprehension. He asked absentmindedly, "So, what's the bad news?"
Yun Wei did not answer him.
He simply turned around and met the gaze of the knight who stood ramrod straight.
He thought to himself, "The bad news is that Isaac is the 'tyrant' you mentioned."
This should be considered a joke without any malicious intent.
After all, Isaac would never hold a grudge against the other party.
Yun Wei refocused his attention on the sea surface, and the magician's spiritual power spread out, searching for traces of fish beneath the surface.
However, they gained something in no time.
"Go and call everyone over. Before the heavy snow comes, let's process the smoked fish right here on the shore," he instructed Koro, who was still in a daze.
Koro repeated, "Smoked fish?"
Yun Wei nodded. "Yes, use smoke to dry the fish. I told you to divide the people into two groups: one group to dry the fish here on the coast, and the other group to continue dismantling the fences in the village and deliver the fish over at the same time."
The vast majority of so-called "stinky foods" are definitely not good for your health.
The body's instincts are all protesting.
By the time the energetic Oakes finishes his homework, a plague might break out across the entire continent of Zhuyuan.
Yun Wei was worried about this.
Only when people are well-fed and healthy can Ice Sparrow Collar have a brighter future.
After listening, Koro still didn't move. "But where are the fish?"
There are only two ancestral fishing boats left in their village, and after working for half a day, they can only catch a dozen or so fish.
They also had to go out to sea when the sea was calm and come ashore before the tide rose or fell.
Yun Wei blinked immediately.
As a level 5 mage, casting a level 5 spell like "Wind Summoning" shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?
So he cleared his throat and began chanting a spell he hadn't uttered in a long time: "Clouds gather, trade winds cease, buds of hurricanes filled with ether, follow my will and lead the winds forth..."
As he recited the words clearly and melodiously, a cyan magic circle appeared and spun in his field of vision, and the ethereal sprouts he had seen before rose from it, swirling into a long, thin waterspout.
Countless fish were sucked up from the sea and, along that incredible "straw," landed on the nearby shore with a splash, swaying and jumping around.
This was an utterly absurd rain of fish.
Koro's expression turned even more terrified. He moved his lips and asked, "You...you...aren't you a water mage?"
The other party's reaction was beyond Yun Wei's expectations.
The villagers he encountered on the continent of Zhuyuan were all ignorant, apathetic, and prejudiced. They had no patience to try to understand things beyond their comprehension; instead, they would burn them in a panic.
This is why he only displayed the strength of a mage.
He didn't want to agitate their already weakened nerves, as that would only make them paranoid, like a frightened hen that could no longer lay eggs.
He couldn't help but re-examine the sickly thin man in front of him.
He noticed that the other person's eyes were bright, and now it seemed that they did not contain healthy vitality, but rather a kind of wisdom.
There is a little, but not much.
"If you're truly a smart person, village official, perhaps you shouldn't have pointed this out." Yun Wei looked at the other person with a half-smile. "After all, this is a good place to kill someone and cover it up, isn't it?"
Koro was immediately terrified and covered his mouth tightly.
He knew it!
Waaah, I knew he shouldn't have come at this time.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly felt a long-lost drive.
Now look what's happened! He'll definitely be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and nobody will remember this poor little village official anymore.
But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, saving him from despair—
"Yun, you scared him."
Koro quickly looked gratefully at the lord's husband, who had remained silent all along.
Seeing his lover speak, Yun Wei pouted regretfully and put away his mischievous expression.
He looked at the other person curiously, only to hear the other person ask the village official, "Was your ancestor named Niki?"
"It happened eight hundred years ago," Isaac said, frowning as he recalled, "I remember. There used to be a Niki shipyard here in Resgorod..."
In fact, because the wood here is light and tough, it has always been a major shipbuilding center in the Eastern Continent since the First Dynasty.
Upon hearing this, Koro Niki was completely thrown into chaos.
He vowed that this was destined to be the most magical day of his life.
He stammered, "My God, what you're talking about is from so many years ago... We stopped building boats here a long time ago. Now we just scavenge for food in the fields to make a living..."
The two looked at each other, but remained silent.
Seeing this, Yun Wei couldn't help but shake his head. "Don't talk about me, Issa. You're the one who really scared him. Alright, Nikki, go get to work. Don't overthink it. We're really not bad people."
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the fish that had been jumping and leaping were gradually becoming listless and weak.
If we don't start processing it soon, it won't be as fresh.
Koro silently turned around, took two steps, then turned back again. "Sir, I... my name is Koro."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei looked at the other person seriously and nodded in response, "I understand, Village Chief Keluo."
