Chapter 20 The Future of Athens! Please give me a monthly vote!!!

The fountain originated very early, and it was built in the famous Babylonian sky garden around the 6th century BC.

In ancient Greece, in order to beautify the environment, the fountain with drinking water gradually turned into a decorative fountain.

This is the fountain technology of the early era.

Murphy's physics is not good, but I roughly remember that the fountain seems to use the siphon principle, or use the weight of the water itself to connect it from a high place to the bottom of the artificial fountain through special pipes. At present, the urban beautification of Athens is mainly focused on road cleaning and drainage planning, etc. Although Murphy has always been interested in fiddling out one or two fountains in places like the Central Square of Athens.

But he was not proficient in this, and as a lord, he didn't have the time and energy to do these trivial matters.

……………………

The pool in the Governor's Mansion is about 30 meters long and about 20 meters wide.

At first, Murphy planned to transplant some beautiful aquatic plants, but now it seems that it is not needed.

Although this pool built in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion is not stagnant, it only has a water change channel buried underground. The water is drawn from the upper reaches of the moat. The domestic water used in the entire Athenian city is mostly planned based on the moat, which is fetched up the upstream and then discharges sewage from the downstream. These domestic sewage will flow along the Nidolia River to the sea.

In fact, the so-called "sewage" statement in such an era does not hold true.

Because the demand for domestic water alone does not meet the sewage standard, and most of these domestic water is consumed on plant irrigation.

In an era without industrial pollution, the water of the river is clear.

"How did you do it?" Murphy asked in amazement, looking at the fountain about one meter five in height.

There is nothing else in the pool except for a channel to change water. Obviously, such a fountain was not created by physical means. Instead, it utilizes some mysterious power in this world, such as - elements!

The mermaid swayed in the pool, and she opened her hands and let the clear spring water sprinkle on her body.

When her eyes fell on Murphy, she smiled slightly and pointed to the marble and shells placed in the pool with her fair and slender fingers.

The marble was originally intended to be shipped by Murphy to send craftsmen to sculpture some gorgeous decorations.

"Shell?" Murphy was stunned. He knew that the magician needed good parchment and many precious props to release spells. But he really didn't expect that the mermaid would actually use shells!

But then he suddenly realized it.

In the sea, there are probably not many things that can be used as spell casting props.

Shells are obviously quite common and quite easy to find props.

"It was the shell that Sister Helen asked me to pick up." Bells laughed excitedly from behind Murphy. Perhaps because Murphy was spoiling her, this little girl was extremely brave. She was the first person in the Governor's Mansion to dare to talk to the mermaid. You know, in the current Athenian legend, the mermaid is still equivalent to a sirens.

"You picked it up?" Murphy looked at the bell that was getting more round and smooth, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her tender and chubby little face.

This girl has improved her cooking skills recently, but she has gained a little bit of weight. Especially the pair of little hands, her flesh is like a small steamed bun.

Lingling has been worried about this recently, but this flower season is the time when a girl is the most greedy. Therefore, she is always teased by other maids, and recently even Murphy called her "greedy little cat".

Whenever she heard this intimate nickname, she always tilted her face and pouted and stopped talking.

Just stare at you with your big eyes.

Unfortunately, the effect is almost equal.

Today, a bell with long golden hair and blue eyes looks more and more like a Barbie doll.

He angrily patted Murphy's hand holding her tender and chubby little face, and Lingling angrily bulged her little face and stopped talking. She would rather Murphy use her hands to rub her hair than be pinched by someone. Because this always makes her feel that she is still a child who has not grown up.

He is already an adult!

Thinking of this, the little girl proudly raised her bulging breasts.

Although I have gained a little weight recently, hasn't that grown a lot?

It's almost time to catch up with Sister Angela!

Lingdang thought about this in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel much more balanced.

Murphy shook his head and smiled, reached out and rubbed the bell's little head, and asked, "Did you two do it together?"

"Yes!" Seeing Murphy ask, the little girl was filled with excitement. She chirped like a cheerful bird with a crisp sound like a silver bell: "Mr. Murphy! The bell is also very rewarding! In order to find those suitable shells, the bell has been searching for a long time."

The mermaid standing up from the pool smiled and looked at the bell, her eyes were quite gentle. She said slowly: "The shells of the river clams have a bad texture, and many of them cannot be used as carriers of elements. It took a long time to find the small bell to collect sixteen shells of the same size."

A small bell?

In just a few days, the relationship between the two is so intimate?

Murphy glanced at the mermaid with a soft smile in confusion. If he remembered correctly, she had always been relatively indifferent to humans except herself, right?

However, this is also a good thing.

As the only remaining mermaid in this sea area, it is probably difficult for her to meet her kind again.

A smart creature cannot be with loneliness forever, and it is best if she can adapt to getting along with others.

There are river musses in the Nidoria River, but because the seasonings in this world are not strong enough, the seafood produced is delicious, but it always has a strong fishy smell. Therefore, the residents of the town do not like to eat river musses very much, and Murphy only tastes them once or twice occasionally.

There are always many inconveniences in an era with relatively low civilizations.

The food culture of human beings in this world is still at a relatively low level. Apart from the necessary oil, salt, and peppers, there are almost no commendable seasonings.

If you can find the legendary halflings, you may get many precious seasonings from them.

However, this race mostly exists as vassals of other creatures, and they are weak and do not have the ability to survive in this cruel world.

All right.

Murphy should probably be glad.

There are at least chili peppers in this primitive world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After walking around the pool for two times, Murphy carefully plucked it up and asked, "How long can such a fountain last?"

The fountain is definitely of great importance to the Athenian city.

This not only means the degree of beautification of the city, but also represents the level of civilization of the entire city and even Greek citizens.

It can be said that if such a fountain could be mass-produced, it would be a symbol of the entire urban civilization! If combined with gorgeous relief decorations and with the Greeks' level of sculpture craftsmanship, Murphy could completely imagine the shocked expressions of the indigenous people!

As long as it can be mass-produced, Murphy has the absolute confidence to build Athens into the most beautiful city among human city-states in a short period of time!

"How long does it last?" The mermaid tilted her head and shaped her works for a long time. After thinking for a while, she whispered: "If no one destroys it, this magic circle should be able to last for half a year."

"If there are better shells, the magic circle can last longer."

Magic circle?

So, in addition to her natural charm ability, she can also cast magic?

Sure enough, I found the treasure!

magic!

Murphy stared at the gorgeous fountain in admiration, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is the magic in my mind!

As an important pillar of a world, magic should not be used as a force for killing! Civilization should be built on development and creation, rather than simply killing and destruction! It is a manifestation of barbarism and ignorance, and it is a very stupid thing!

A civilization that can truly continue.

It should be that all forces can be used for the development and continuation of species, which can make life better and the city more prosperous.

No one is willing to spend his whole life in killing and panic. The deepest part of human nature is still yearning for beauty.

"Half a year." Murphy murmured in a low voice: "Enough!"

"Totally enough!"

He hugged the mermaid excitedly, kissed her beautiful cheek gently, and said, "To reward you! I decided to make the most gorgeous sculpture for you and place it on the fountain in the central square!"

A touch of bright red rose slightly on the mermaid's beautiful face, and her narrow fish tail swayed uneasy in the water, as if she was a little uncomfortable.

This was a completely subconscious action.

However, after coming back to his senses, Murphy remained silent. He ignored the bell's expression calmly and stared at his angrily, and said slowly: "I'll arrange for people to find the right shell now."

"What kind of needs are there?" Murphy asked.

The mermaid swayed her slim figure and dived into the water again. After a while, she floated up and picked up a piece of shell and handed it to Murphy's hand, and said slowly: "The shell must be of similar size and uniform texture so that it can withstand the power of elements."

"It would be better if it could be more colorful." The mermaid paused at this point, blushed slightly, and said softly: "Because it looks a little more beautiful."

Beautiful?

Murphy was stunned for a moment, but nodded.

……………………

Murphy has always been an activist. After completing the rough blueprint in his heart, he immediately arranged for people to find shells.

It really doesn't work, even if it's worth it.

On the other hand, since the reward was promised, Murphy would not go back on his word.

He immediately arranged for the masters in the territory who were skilled in sculpture to make gorgeous marble statues for the mermaids. Murphy planned to erect the mermaid's sculpture in the fountain in the central square to commemorate her first artificial fountain in the world.

No one expected it.

Murphy's move that was completely a whim will bring about such earth-shaking changes in the future!

A mermaid myth.

Born!
