A strange world

Chapter 1102 Chapter 24. Selling combs

The magical image can make Annan a celebrity and make a lot of money, but can it protect him and his friends from enemies?

The children on the street cannot hold the gems in their hands. Even if it is not snatched away, it will be lost for various reasons.

Therefore, Annan would seemingly foolishly spend all the money he earned on the Free City, extravagantly building an immortal floating city using arcane energy cores and orichalcum.

Whether it's paranoia or a lack of security, Annan remembers one sentence: Don't leave your life to others to make decisions——

Olmedo stood on the same front as Annan at this point. After her Breeze City was destroyed, the words "it has nothing to do with you" were deeply ingrained in her mind.

There are only two kinds of people in Allen Continent, either sitting at the table or being served to the table.

After all, Annan had to finish the business of the Guardian Golem before he could take over as the shopkeeper.

The buyer he picked was Vitalig.

Liberty City now has two portals: the logistics warehouse in the west of the city and the square in front of the city lord's palace.

They change every hour and lead to various commercial streets. When he learned that Annan was looking for him, Vitalig wanted to come to Liberty City in person.

Annan heard what the kingdom messenger said and quickly asked him to lead a heavy horse over and be sure not to run over.

After the kingdom messenger left, he complained: "How can there be a king who doesn't stay in the palace and run around all day..."

"Yes, how could there be such a leader?" Olmedo read it again and stared at Annan fiercely.

"I'll ask Master Dumbledore to get the two golems!!"

Annan got up and walked outside the lounge while Idilia covered her mouth and chuckled, asking the servant to take a photo.

Ten minutes later, the guardian golem and the knight golem moved over together.

Annan opened the portal, and Vitalig, who was dressed formally and held the king's scepter in his hand, stood opposite the portal, with the grand palace in the background.

"how's it going?"

Annan used to not understand why the nobles talked a lot of useless nonsense before talking, but now he understands some of the reasons - to talk about something to warm up the conversation and make the next words less abrupt.

Vitalig sighed: "There are good things and bad things... I told the nobles not to forget their promise that the people would break the shackles. As a result, they continued to create shackles for the people. Being a king is not that simple."

"Where's the north?"

"The trip you went there made them a lot more honest. I'm going to recruit soldiers and replace them from the front line bit by bit."

"Good idea."

Annan comforted him not to be too anxious: "That's right, the kingdom was so harmed by Crowe. I thought it would take 40,000 years to recover as before."

"How much decay does it take to take 40,000 years?"

Vitalig smiled and his eyes fell on the two demon statues behind Annan.

"I think... you have something serious to talk to me about, right?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Annan looked like he just remembered it, making him want to spurn his own hypocrisy. But making money is not shabby.

"The newly developed Guardian Type 1 Golem by Mushroom House has a strength ranging from professionals to elites. It can continue to patrol for more than an hour, and it can last longer with the recharge of the mage tower. I think you will definitely need it."

"really."

He looked at the guardian golem and paused for a moment on its face.

Use female figures to represent golems that demonstrate strength and power?

Vitalig didn't understand, but Annan must have a deep meaning in doing this... Then he suddenly thought that the golem was used to warn the nobles, but the common people didn't know that such an image would just make the common people feel at ease.

As expected of Annan...

"I want 300 first... no, 500 units."

It seemed that Vitalig really trusted Annan, or was so upset by the troubled nobles that he didn't even ask the price.

Annan's black eyes instantly shone like a black gem by the fireplace: "The manufacturing cost of the Guardian Golem Type 1 is about 80 gold coins, and the public price is 250 gold coins. I can sell it to you for 100 gold coins. But I It is recommended that you buy two hundred to three hundred guardian golems."

Annan pointed to the knight golem aside: "After all, the guardian is just a security golem. It's enough to take care of the nobles and maintain law and order, but the kingdom also faces threats from the north... The knight golem is the real ratman killer, but we Still working out the duration issue.”

"I also want 500 units, but I have a request. How about giving it to me when it's ready?"

"Wrap it around me!"

Annan finally felt how the Wilhelm businessman felt when he faced him.

Even if he didn't specifically make money from Vitalig, the eight hundred golems still made Annan almost ten thousand kinnars, which was equivalent to a year's tax revenue of many prosperous city-states.

The new invention is really useful, but only if it can be sold as a "comb".

"Thanks."

Annan made money and profit, and Vitalig still wanted to thank him.

"No, you stick to the north and prevent the rat people from going south. I just sold you some things."

"That's why I want to say thank you." Vitalig said sincerely: "You did not take advantage of the situation, but extended a helping hand in the name of a win-win situation. Do you know? I have seen too much hypocrisy from nobles these days. They can tear up their previous promises without changing their expressions..."

Annan could only comfort Vitalig.

Vitalig asked about the young students sent. Annan looked at Olmedo and she said that Ingrid led them to do grassroots work in the city lord's palace.

They are like fire, bringing new life to a kingdom that is about to burn out.

The portal closed, Annan sat back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief - very good, the trade went much smoother than expected.

"Do you really want to sell it for 100 gold coins?" Olmedo asked.

"Helping him is helping us, and we don't suffer any loss, and we still make some profit."

Eighty gold coins was the cost that Dumbledore underreported. As the golem began to produce magic crystals and casting molds on a large scale to form an industrial chain, the cost could be further reduced. 75, or even 70 gold coins.

Annan continued: "After all, the Kingdom of Ruikan'er is an old kingdom, and our stay was too short. The shackles on the feet of the people in the Kingdom are gone, but the shackles are still on their hearts. Many traditions are deeply rooted... I am worried that the internal inertia will sweep away Vitalig had to go with them..."

After a land is changed to a country, the previous policies and thinking will still be continued. The nobles have changed. In the past it was Master Mike, and today it is Master Jack. Still nothing has changed.

Vitalig was an idealist like Annan. He can still be determined and full of hope now, but when everyone and everything around him rushes to the same place, how long can he persist in the wave? Can he stick to his heart and ideals?

This is what Annan least wants to see. Because that means everything he has done is in vain.

Time is the best friend of civilization, and time is also the mortal enemy of civilization.
