"Master, the mermaid statue has been installed at the city gate." Regan said respectfully,
"I know." Claire nodded, but he didn't get up to check.
He has seen the effect a long time ago. Teklin asked Isaac to develop some magic tricks to make the static mermaid statue dynamic. After entering from the city gate, as you walk closer to the statue, you can see the detailed picture of a dynamic mermaid emerging from the water, which is very beautiful.
Claire was shocked when I first saw it. The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of magic crystal cores, but the effect is worth it and will definitely amaze those who enter Nafu City for the first time.
Claire even set aside that area and turned it into a large square. Some future activities can be held here, so as not to have to run to the school and the city gate every time an event is held. It is embarrassing. After all, he is now a wealthy viscount with an annual income of nearly 10 million.
Claire has not been idle these days. He just used it as an excuse for Isaac to study it carefully and snatched away the Magic Airship that he rides on every day. Then he found those craftsmen to transform it into a sightseeing airship. Hehehehe, there is another chargeable item.
Even Isaac has been decadent for several days, but he also knows that he has lost some of his playthings these days. He runs around on the airship from morning to night almost every day. The residents of Nafu City are used to the huge thing in the sky.
After the modification, the tourist airship only needs one hundred Gold Coins to be able to fly in the air, and the flying experience is much better than that of using Flying Spell. There will definitely be some scammers willing to pay. It seems that the cost Claire paid to develop this airship can be recovered.
"How's it going in the West District?" Claire asked.
"Everything is going well. The construction is generally completed. There are still some shops that need to be renovated. The shop assistants are almost fully trained. They should be able to start operations in a few days."
"Okay, you can continue to keep an eye on it. Nothing will go wrong." Claire stood up, "I'm going to Rona's side."
Claire pushed open the door to the backyard of the hospital. Rona was pouring salt into a large pool. This large pool was specially built for Eve. After rescuing her, She has lived in Rona for a long time, and Rona's clinic is rarely open, lest the residents of the city see the mermaid Eve swimming in the pool.
"Lord Viscount, you are here!" Mermaid Eve emerged from the water and waved excitedly along with Claire.
"Just call me Claire." Claire repeated it again. I don't know who Eve learned it from. He called me Lord Viscount whenever he saw him.
"Okay, Lord Viscount!" Eve shouted, and then dived underwater again.
Rona was still pouring salt beside the pool. Although Eve said that it would feel the same whether or not salt was added, she always felt that mermaids live in the sea, and the water in the pool must be salty.
"Coming?" Rona greeted.
Claire glanced at Rona and responded, "Ang, he's pouring salt again."
"You care!" Rona shouted with a red face. Ever since Eve said it didn't matter whether he poured salt or not, Claire often used this matter to laugh at her.
Claire couldn't laugh or cry, "I just said it casually, and I definitely didn't mean to ridicule you."
"Humph!" Rona turned his face away.
"By the way, that fruit tree is about to bear fruit. Come and take a look when you are free one day."
"I know, just call me when the time comes." Claire replied. Magic Fruit and Claire still attach great importance to those who can advance people to High Mage and Gold Knight. If he had taken one of these fruits to attend the banquet, he would not have been forced to make up those ghost stories.
"What is the Viscount going to teach me today?" Mermaid Eve surfaced again at this time, looking at Claire with wide eyes and asked.
These days Claire often comes over and uses Mental Connection to teach Common Tongue and some common sense of the human world. Eve is a High Mage himself, and he learns things very quickly. He can communicate with people in less than a week.
Claire sat by the pool, stroked the water waves with his hand, and said softly, "I won't learn those things today, let's learn something else."
"What to study?" Eve's expression was still very excited, and he did not feel irritated by hearing about the study.
"Performance." Claire said, and then told the other party Mermaid Princess's story.
"Yeah!" Eve nodded vigorously. She didn't cry like other little girls with snot and tears. She had no concept of love at all.
"Am I just going to perform the Mermaid Princess in it?" Eve asked.
"Yes, it's not difficult to play the role of your true character. When the time comes, all you have to do is stare at the shore. You don't even need to deliberately show any expression. They will figure it out on their own."
Eve had already started to turn around according to Claire's words and looked into the distance.
"That's it?"
"Yes, just watch it like this, and the work is very easy. You only need to go there every few weeks. Most of the time you can just play here with Rona."
There is a reason why Claire arranged it this way. It is impossible for everyone to see the mermaids on the coast just by coming to Nafu City. That seems so cheap.
The purpose is to let a small number of people be "lucky" to encounter the mermaids, and others will not have the chance to encounter them. This will stimulate the desire of those people to come over and watch the mermaids. If they can see them every time they come over, they will not be so eager to come over. There is no way, people are so cheap, they don't care about things that are easily obtained, and only those things that are obtained at a certain price will be cherished.
People who meet a mermaid will feel very lucky, and they will definitely be willing to spend more when they are in a good mood.
And those who have not met them are determined to stay in Nafu City for a few more days. Their consumption in these few days is within Nafu City, so isn't the money flowing into their hands?
"Are you ready?" Eve asked while carrying Claire.
"Yeah." Claire nodded, "Very good, from now on you can just do this. Work once every few weeks for more than ten minutes each time. It's not very tiring. I'll ask Rona to pick you up at the designated place in the evening."
"Okay!" Eve agreed sweetly.
Claire stretched out his hand, and Eve brought his face over and rubbed it as before.
As for the security issue of Eve, if you are keeping an eye on ordinary petty thefts, there will definitely be no problem. As for some nobles who want to take action, they must consider the big nobles behind the merchants in the West District. If Eve is captured, it will be equivalent to cutting off their wealth. No one will do such a stupid thing.
Those big nobles in the West District would not have any thoughts about Eve. Even those who guessed that Eve was Claire would not take action. After all, Sophia's face still had to be sold. There was no need to offend Sophia for a mermaid.
