(Everyone bless me if I fail the exam next time, alas, life is hard.)—

In October, Athens received a generous gift while swimming back with fish.

A large number of fat squat fish were caught, and even the streets of the city were filled with fishy smell, but this did not affect the mood of Athenian citizens at all, because this harvest made the whole territory rich in meat. These squat fish that live in the coastal areas and swim back every other year weighed five kilograms. Their flesh was plump and their internal organs could also be made of fish oil.

This time, not only did many civilians in the Athenian territory eat meat, but even the slaves who can only fill their stomachs can make a living.

Now all five warships in Athens have been transformed into fishing boats, and a large number of newly built small sailboats have begun to go down the river, preparing to catch more fish before the winter comes, before squatting fish back to the sea. Athens' demand for salt has also begun to increase, which forced Murphy to consider his own plan to build a salt field. However, Athens is located in the front section of the southern plains, and is about to reach 500 kilometers along the coast. Even if he has such a plan, there is no way to imagine it for a while.

However, as Athens' demand for salt increases, it is obviously not enough to rely on merchants to sell it alone.

Murphy must find a way to arrange for manpower to produce salt fields by himself.

At the end of early October.

In the busy time of squatting fish back swimming, the season for planting winter wheat has also arrived. This year's great harvest has greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the people to work. After the new system was promulgated, the lower-class civilians' desire to improve their status has become stronger and stronger. Perhaps it is unimaginable for them to become a noble, but if they rely solely on their efforts to become citizens of Athens, it is an ideal that can be realized for them.

The phosphorus fertilizer on the delta island ensures the yield of crops, while the divine power of Athens, the goddess of wisdom eliminates all hidden dangers of natural disasters.

In addition to initially assisting the Centaur tribe to consume a large amount of food, the food in the Athenian territory has never been scarce. Now, officials from the ruling hall have reported to Murphy several times that the inventory of grain was too much. If the warehouse was not expanded, there would be problems in the preservation of these grains. For this reason, Murphy even had the idea of ​​building [Ao Cang] like Qin.

Mid October.

The official system of Athens is becoming increasingly full, and the small aristocracy of the indigenous people in the surrounding areas are even more famous and send their children to study. The changes in this world are getting bigger and bigger, and the existence of magicians has been made public in the public's vision. After knowing that Athens has two teachers to teach, the indigenous nobles of other areas have sent their children to see if there is a talent for learning magic.

Even if not, it is good to receive higher education and learn more advanced knowledge in Athens University.

It would be a great thing to be able to become one of the officials of Athens by relying on their abilities. Now the entire southern plain is focused on this land of only 2,500 square kilometers, because everyone can predict that in the near future, this may be the center of the human world!

There are powerful troops here!

Have a prosperous economy!

Have more advanced civilization and better education!

At the same time, it is also blessed by the gods called the "Olympus gods" by the Greeks!

Although Murphy's plan for the Principality of Athens has not officially begun, under the brilliance of Athens' prosperity and prosperity, the signs of the indigenous nobles in the surrounding areas moving closer to Athens have become increasingly obvious.

Late October.

The further expansion of the Governor's Office was completed, and the separation and expansion of the ruling government was about to be completed.

The large amount of human and material resources have made the construction of Athens faster and faster. In just over a month, most of the progress of Athens upgrading to a big city has been completed.

Time entered the Second Era, November 376.

Winter wheat has been planted. During this period, in addition to exchanging a batch of food to Evanna, the Queen of Evanna, the weapons and equipment that were eliminated from Athens' second phase, and another batch of horses were exchanged for the Centaur tribe.

The war between the lizardman and the half-elves is still continuing, and the half-elves who are at a disadvantage in terms of physique and number can only support them. I heard that they have asked the noble council for several support, but they were shirked by the noble council for unknown trends in the southern wilderness. In fact, the noble council now has no ability to mobilize the army to support the half-elves, because until now they have not even cleared out the circulating alien robbers.

After the failure to request support from the noble council, the representatives of the semi-elves had to turn to the elves for help.

However, the last elves living around the southern plains (that is, the one living in the Karazan Mountains and adjacent to Murphy’s territory) have moved elsewhere.

Even if the elves are willing to send reinforcements to support the semi-elves, it may not be possible to achieve it in a short while.

And Murphy also collected some not-so-good news.

Among the lizards that invaded the south, there were a large number of giant lizards in captivity. This kind of earth dragon creature, which is somewhat similar to the Komodo dragons in the previous life, is very powerful. They are rough and thick in skin and flesh, and ordinary swords are difficult to damage their muscles and bones. They are even more powerful and can easily knock down trees. There are also rumors that the elites of these giant lizards, some creatures called [petified giant lizards], can even turn the enemy into a stone when attacking!

This is already within the scope of magic!

For this reason, the nobles' parliament even opposed sending reinforcements to the half-elves, because these lizardmen were even more difficult to deal with than the half-orcs.

...

Perhaps because of the unpleasant cooperation, although the half-elves asked for help from the noble council several times, they had never asked for help from Athens. However, Murphy was also happy because he was really embarrassed to ask him to sacrifice his soldiers to help those half-elves. After all, those half-elves did not belong to Athens, and sacrificing their own lives to help outsiders is not worth it.

At most, Murphy can only help them materially!

At the end of November, the weather has begun to turn cold.

After several months of busyness, Athens finally completed the construction of the big city. Although some buildings have not been completed, the symbolic ruling residence and the army barracks of the army representing the big city have been completed.

"The Consul Residence: The Consul Residence is an indispensable symbol of national wealth. The scale and luxury of the building are for attention. The officials here are responsible for taxation, promoting urban construction, and managing all things in the empire. The Consul Residence allows the city to develop further and build more expensive ethnic groups. All aspects of the city have been developed, including religion, military, and economics.

The ruling residence is an indispensable symbol of state power and wealth, and those who live under its light will not question its rule."

It may make people feel helpless when they say it.

But the truth is the iconic feature of Athens upgrading to a big city, which is Murphy's nest, his residence and the Governor's Mansion have been further expanded into larger and more luxurious. Gardens, pavilions, fountains, lofts, white marble floors, and the unique sculpture art of Greek civilization decorates the walls beautifully. Even after the construction of Murphy himself, he felt that it was too luxurious.

But it is undeniable that such buildings are very shocking and representative in this era.

To some extent, it even symbolizes the strength and prosperity of the entire territory!

To give a simple example, the citizens of Athens can point to the huge and luxurious building complex with great pride and say proudly to the indigenous people of this world, do you see that, that is the place where our wise and powerful governor lives, which is much more spectacular than the castle of your lord Tulabaji? This is the symbol of our Athens, do you know?

...

City protects human civilization, and cities witness the greatness of human beings!

If there is a place that can match the history of BC, then there is only the place called the "Babylonian Sky Garden".

Civilization and prosperity coexist, and Athens' glory is witnessed by the world!

...

"Ding! The ruling government has been established! Athens has been upgraded to a big city!..."

"Ding! Upgrade conditions are met, "Total War" auxiliary system update...update begins!...database reorganization..."

"Ding! Hidden conditions are met, and the data of "Age of Kingdoms" begins to be imported!..."

"Ding! The conditions for establishing a principality have been met. After the establishment of the principality is completed, the data of the "Age of Kingdoms" will be fully opened..."

...

Just as Athens was upgraded to a big city, a distinguished guest came to Murphy's Governor's House. She brought something. In exchange, she asked Murphy to send military troops to help the semi-elves that had been hard to support, and persisted until the reinforcements sent by the High Elves arrived.

If I hadn't seen such a thing, Murphy might have refused directly.

But after seeing what she brought with her own eyes, Murphy fell into a difficult choice!

"Ding! Discover [Unknown Strange Things], "Total War" auxiliary system data scanning..."
