In her eyes, Los's belated attempt to glorify himself was an insult to Her Majesty the Queen.

Los laughed and asked, "Your Majesty should also know that ordinary craftsmanship and materials are insufficient to stop these monsters. I am also troubled by this matter."

Elizabeth said proudly, "This is the sincerity that Her Majesty the Queen brings. Her Majesty the Queen has made outstanding achievements in architecture and materials science. Her Majesty now has a special material and complete blueprints for the Demon-Sealing Tower."

"Her Majesty the Queen said that once this tower is completed, it can contain monsters that most ordinary people cannot understand."

Upon hearing this, Los's eyes lit up: "There's such a thing?"

Elizabeth sneered: "Let me tell you, although your intelligence is not low, it is nothing compared to the great Queen."

Los, naturally unconcerned by this childish comparison, laughed and said, "I know, I know, after all, it is Her Majesty the Queen. How can a mere mayor like me compare to Her Majesty the Queen?"

Elizabeth was very pleased to hear this: "It's good that you have some self-awareness. If you agree, I will reply to the Queen now."

"it is good!"

Los readily nodded, then added, "You should also tell Her Majesty the Queen that I am very interested in in-depth cooperation with her. I currently have many things that she would be interested in. If possible, the Queen could bring some related special technologies with her this time, and I can offer sufficient prices for them."

Elizabeth nodded and said, "I will pass it on."

After seeing Elizabeth off, Ross breathed a sigh of relief and then began to ponder.

"This queen... seems unusual! The Demon-Sealing Tower... isn't that something from the cultivation world?"

I remember the first time I heard this name was when I was a teenager watching a TV series, Chinese Paladin 1.

The male and female protagonists in the film have become Los's idols for a long time.

"Could it be... that Her Majesty the Queen is also a time traveler? I wonder if we're from the same hometown, since my world, although it has the concept of the Demon-Sealing Tower, doesn't actually exist."

Los was not unexpected for other time travelers.

By now, this world has ancient gods, outer gods, alien civilizations, and even beings similar to players, such as the Eye of Insight.

It's perfectly normal for a few time travelers to appear.

"If there are other time travelers, then we need to be careful. It seems that this queen also has other cheat codes. It would be dangerous to start a war rashly."

After a brief analysis, Los looked at the Angle Hound.

Los took out the Silver Key and inserted it into the Hornhound's mouth, giving the command: "Behave yourself lately and don't move around unnecessarily."

woo woo woo...

A strange sound came from the mouth of the anglerhound, signifying submission.

Los nodded and casually shoved him into the door.

Hounds don't have much intelligence; they rely more on instinct, and their memory only lasts about ten days.

If Los warns it once, it will behave for at most ten days.

But for Los now, ten days is enough.

Having temporarily dealt with the Anglehound matter, just as Los was about to return to the city hall, he saw Kos walk into the lobby on the first floor.

“Mr. Mayor.” Kos walked straight over.

Los nodded: "How are the arrangements for the mermaids going?"

Koss: "We've temporarily put them to live on the river, but this isn't a long-term solution. The Miskatonic River is wide, but the current is relatively rapid, making it unsuitable for long-term habitation. Could you help them find a solution?"

Los asked, "Can they become human?"

Koss shook his head: "Not yet. The strongest among them is only level 22. To have the ability to transform into a human, you need to be at least level 30."

"And even if you become human, you can't stay away from the water for long."

Los nodded and asked, "I remember the legend that mermaids can secrete a special fluid in the water, and this fluid has the effect of slowing down aging?"

That's why mermaids are so expensive on the black market.

This may be the earliest record of humans drinking bathwater.

Koss said, "Perifil oil does have the effect of slowing down aging for humans. For them, it's like oil on the face, used to moisturize the scales."

How many mermaids are there now?

“There are twenty-six in total,” Coase said.

Los nodded and said directly, "We have a plan."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Kos's lifeless eyes: "Please speak."

Los said, "You know the reservoir on the north side, right?"

Koss nodded: "Yes, I heard you're planning an expansion."

Losen said, "I plan to build a dam and reservoir complex there."

“The Miskatonic River is prone to flooding during the rainy season, which greatly affects crops downstream. I plan to build a dam to manage the water flow. This will not only greatly solve Arkham’s water problem, but also ensure the safety of downstream farmland.”

Koss understood something upon hearing this and asked, "Do you intend to put them in the dam?"

Los laughed and said, "I plan to have them work there as employees to manage the entire dam, so they won't have to leave the water and will still have a purpose."

"The mermaid esters in their bodies go directly into the Arkham water supply system, which is also a good option for the citizens of Arkham."

Koss nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: "That's a great idea, but... they can't yet..."

Los smiled and said, "I'm still here, aren't I? Although I can't improve their combat abilities, I can at least give them the ability to transform into human form ahead of time."

Upon hearing this, Kos was overjoyed, and a rare, happy smile appeared on his stiff, gloomy face.

"Thank you for your help, thank you."

Chapter 0203 Urban Planning of Arkham

After dealing with the mermaid matter, Los strolled south along Peabody Avenue, leisurely walking through his town.

Looking at the ancient buildings on both sides, the relatively old streets, the people rushing to work, and the low and winding houses in the distance, although it looks like a classical town with the weathered and secluded atmosphere of time, it is too backward and dilapidated.

"Since we're just about to start rebuilding the Arkham Sanatorium and the reservoir to the north, let's take this opportunity to begin an infrastructure overhaul!"

Los's expectations for Arkham are definitely not just a small town that is the source of an urban legend, but a node that connects the normal world and the universe.

"Now that we have the time, let's make a more detailed plan for the entire Arkham!"

With that in mind, Los quickened his pace and returned to his office in the city hall.

Sitting in the chair, Los removed his head and placed it neatly to the side. He then picked up a large roll of blueprints and began his design project.

“The current boundaries of Arkham’s nine districts are too vague and irregular. In that case, let’s use the streets as boundaries and turn all the districts into relatively regular geometric shapes. This will also help with future city planning.”

With that thought in mind, Los's hand moved swiftly across the drawing paper, like a laser printer.

Soon, a beautifully designed map of Arkham city appeared.

Here, the eastern district becomes a pentagon with unequal side lengths, while the central district becomes a parallelogram. At the same time, the four streets that originally belonged to the northern district in the southwest are incorporated into the central district.

The North Zone has been transformed into a large rhombus, and the overall shape looks like a jigsaw puzzle.

With his extraordinary memory and sharp mind, Los remembers every place he has ever been very clearly. Now he knows every street in Arkham like the back of his hand.

In just one hour, the new urban plan for Arkham was completed.

The largest area is still the Frankish Mountains, which have now taken on a trapezoidal shape.

The area above it has now been renamed the Port District, and in the future it will house the largest port in the southwest of the empire and the largest shipyard in the entire Massa province.

The commercial area has been transformed into a long, narrow parallelogram, while the adjacent campus area has taken on a standard "convex" shape.

The southernmost affluent area has been renamed the villa area.

The lowland south area to the west of the villa area has been renamed the church area.

Because there are five churches and three church cemeteries there.

While replanning, Los also revitalized these nine areas.

The North District boasts some of the best bars and hotels in all of Arkham, and it is planned to be developed into a venue for hosting important guests, holding talks, and hosting large-scale exhibitions.

It serves as a reception center for future business collaborations within Arkham.

In this area, Los built a government institution called the "Arkham Cultural Center" to showcase the culture and customs of Arkham, which was overseen by Sheena.

This organization is an expanded version of the Arkham Reception Office that Sheena was in charge of. This organization is not only responsible for normal cultural exhibitions, but also for receiving those uninvited guests in secret.

In the future, this department and the North District will serve as Arkham's first point of contact and buffer zone with the outside world.

The entire construction work in the northern district will revolve around this organization.

The central area will remain the administrative center of Arkham, home to the vast majority of government agencies. Apart from the expansion of the Arkham Sanatorium, a new government department will be added: the Arkham Community Council.

This committee expanded from the community support group that Danny previously led. Its functions are not only to remove potential outsiders, but also to mediate neighborhood disputes and monitor the mental state of the residents.

In the future, this organization will have branch structures in eight other regions, each responsible for different areas.

The eastern district is desolate, but quiet and large, including low hills, forests, and rivers. After renovation, it will become the most livable place in Arkham.

In the future, this area will become an upscale residential district, boasting the best security and protection in Arkham. These beautifully situated homes will not be sold, but rather awarded as prizes to contributing citizens.

This place will become the center for gathering all of Arkham's key talents.

The former river district, now the port district, is divided in two by the Miskatonic River.

The area expands southeastward along the riverbank.

According to Los's plan, the largest seafood market in the province of Massa will be located along the riverbank, and a huge shipyard will be built on the easternmost side of the city on the south bank.

Near the inner side, a huge port spanning the river will be built, allowing ships to dock simultaneously from both sides of the river and then enter the markets on both sides of the river via well-developed land transportation.

The function of the business district remains unchanged, except that Los plans to build several high-rise office buildings there.

The commercial district is adjacent to the port area, and many related companies will be able to set up their offices and branches here in the future. They can not only enjoy the developed commercial street, but also see the docks on the riverbank right away.

The campus area and the wealthy area, which is the new villa area, haven't changed much.

The former wanted to separate the University of Michigan's library, while the latter Los established a government department there, the Arkham Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce was led by Barlow, a capitalist who once had the Eye of Insight, and it brought in all the wealthy capitalists.

The goal is not only to bring capital into Arkham, but also to allow this capital to leave Arkham and make money.

The French Hills, the largest area in Arkham, has the most old houses outside of the East End.

Most of the low, winding rooftops seen from the city center are from here.
