Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 322  Influx

With a massive influx of new residents, a large construction project was implemented. For the new and future residents, numerous houses and establishments were built, and the fields between the inner and outer walls drastically expanded. The city would be the capital of our future nation; therefore, we were expecting waves of people from several nations to come over here. But since there were a certain percentage of nonhuman individuals already living here, my family decided to allow any race to reside in our country, and we even implemented an order not to discriminate against everyone. We do not tolerate racism here. But we still could not stop others from judging anyone based on their outward appearance. There were others who were afraid of nonhumans. That was why I took some measures to reduce such incidents. The Elemental Foxes had been in this forest for some time. They were the most monstrous residents in this city and would definitely make anyone run for their money upon seeing them. By blessing each of them with Extra Skill: Personification, they could gain a human form without any nerfs. With that form, anyone without Appraisal would be seeing them as humans, and their diet would dramatically lessen as they would not have to consume large amounts of food due to their smaller body masses. For some grotesque nonhumans such as Kobolds, Cat-Siths, and Lizardmen, I just have them slay monsters in the dungeon and level up. At Level 200, Kobolds and Cat-Siths would evolve into Werewolves and Werecats, respectively. They would gain human-sized bodies and acquire Extra Skill: Anthropomorphization to transform themselves into human form. But personally, I prefer the Puss-in-Boots sizes for kitties. Lizardmen needed to reach Level 300 to evolve into Dragonewts, although they would not gain body-changing abilities like werewolves and werecats did. Although they had physical changes. After evolving, instead of an ability, their reptilian appearances would become less prevalent, and they would become more humanlike. Human-like head with dragon horns, more skin-to-scale ratio, human arms and hands. There were still indeed inhuman characteristics, such as the tail and legs and reptilian eyes, but they were way better than before the evolution. The city had just announced a relatively short time ago that traveling would take more than a week from Raevender by horse-drawn carriage, so only a few thousand had actually reached the dungeon. A few of them were some people I knew—actually, some people my clones were acquainted with. Apparently, one of them was the dwarf named Norm, whom Myriad Wings used to escort on a certain task. This city lacked master craftsmen, so we approached Norm and asked him to move to the city. He was hesitant at first, but when Michael opened a bottle of whiskey, which I renamed Moonshine in this world, in front of him, Norm immediately agreed to come with us and even brought some of his dwarf friends. We were basically bribing them with booze. Other than Norm, there was someone I recognized who moved into the city. It was someone who fought with us in the revolution and got enlisted in our military. So today, I am going to interact with that person and then try to gain her trust. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
