Sorcery Monarch Part 2

Chapter 212: Murloc Transformation Experiment

Seeing the confused look in Butler Ralph's eyes, Matthew patiently explained:

"As I mentioned before, our manpower is valuable, and there's no need to invest it in such a drain."

"The purpose of developing the ruins is more about spreading Bay Territory's reputation among other adventurers."

"We can sell all kinds of Bay Territory's goods to adventurers, who are much wealthier than commoners."

"All the supplies they need—food, clothing, gear, and adventure-related expenses—will be ours."

"Excavating the ruins is profitable, but we'll make even more money."

Butler Ralph quickly understood the lord's unconventional strategy this time, and thoughtfully murmured:

"Just like Blood Moon City, which attracted large numbers of adventurers with its vast ruins, allowing it to rapidly develop."

"Even though Blood Moon City has been declining in recent years, compared to other large cities that take hundreds or even thousands of years to develop, it has already sped up its growth immensely!"

"Moreover, this will strengthen and improve our ability to produce various living supplies."

"Even if we lose the adventurer market later on, we'll still be able to sell these goods to other cities."

Matthew was very pleased that Butler Ralph could see this point and signaled for him to continue with confidence.

Whether successful or not, they would gain valuable experience and insight into development.

As soon as Butler Ralph left, the village elder, Field, who had been waiting, entered the room.

"Great master, I have missed you during these few days. Your greatness is mesmerizing, your beauty is praiseworthy..."

Wearing dark green leather armor, Bobo, full of flattery, rushed over, showering compliments on Yaya, who was browsing a history book.

Yaya, with her big eyes, happily glanced at Bobo, nodded lightly, and curiously asked in her heart:

"Papa, is this little murloc flattering me?"

Often talking with Matthew, Yaya had been learning quickly and liked to apply her new knowledge.

"Haha, that's right. This little one is very smart, very good at pretending to borrow power from others..."

"Hmm? Shouldn't it be a fish borrowing the might of a dragon..."

Matthew gave a glance at the empty flattery from Bobo, then gestured to the somewhat hesitant village elder, Field, to come forward.

The relieved village elder showed a hint of reluctance and shame on his face but still, without hesitation, reported the situation:

"Lord, the number of murlocs in both places has reached 50,000, and Bobo can still manage them."

"However, these murlocs are incredibly stupid. They can only understand Bobo's simple commands."

"As for other orders, even if you beat them to death, it seems they just can't follow through."

If it weren't absolutely necessary, Elder Field really didn't want to bother the lord.

The lord's time was precious, his pressure immense, and he had many matters to deal with.

But Elder Field was certain that if he couldn't fulfill the lord's task, he had to say so promptly.
