The Vastness of Magical Destiny

"Oh, Lord Komer, do you really think all of us Gisa people are only interested in profit?" the young man with the sharp face shook his head repeatedly to show his dissatisfaction, "Lord Komer, those are all prejudices against us Gisa people. It’s true that we Gisa people are mainly engaged in commerce, but we also make a living through our own abilities. People always think that Gisa people do not produce, and that we can accumulate wealth merely through trade, thus harboring some prejudices. However, they overlook the fact that we are exchanging our intelligence and knowledge for these achievements."

Seeing that Karmani seemed to be about to launch into a long speech again, Komer quickly interrupted him, "I apologize, Mr. Karmani. I have no prejudice against the Gisa people. In my view, every nation must have its own reasons and basis for survival in this world. The saying ’survival of the fittest’ should be the best explanation. As for the means they adopt, I do not mind."

"Ah, that’s good, that’s good." Karmani’s face was full of smiles, "I just wanted to make it clear to you, Lord, that we Gisa people are not as bad as the rumors say, and we can also contribute to the development of your territory."

Komer looked at him deeply. This fellow seemed to have something up his sleeve. Did he have some other idea? But it seemed that the other party also felt that this was not the right occasion to speak, so he prudently withdrew and said no more.

"Carreila, how many immigrants are there now reclaiming wasteland by the shores of Lake Niall?" Komer brought his attention back to the matter at hand.

"About three to four hundred people, and the number is slowly increasing. However, I am very much looking forward to Mr. Karmani’s canal being completed. Once the canal is through, it will greatly promote the development of this region. I have already agreed with Mr. Karmani to first construct a simple dock at the entrance of the canal to the lake to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods by general boats and make it easier for immigrants from other places to come and go freely." Carreila’s face also showed a touch of excitement, proud and satisfied with the prospect of turning barren wilderness into fertile fields and homesteads through his efforts.

"Hmm, where do most of these immigrants come from? From the Caucasus?" Komer asked offhandedly.

"No, not many immigrants come from the Caucasus because most of them have already settled and cultivated land there and do not wish to change their environment. Most of the immigrants here have scattered to the Caucasus after the Beastmen invaded Jazair from the south, and some have come from the landless farmers from the middle and upper reaches of the Catania River. It is a trend; it seems that there is a serious concentration of land ownership in the middle and upper reaches of the Catania River, with even some unrest breaking out. This is probably the main reason these landless farmers have migrated here," Carreila was quite clear about the composition of these immigrants.
