A strange world

The dissipating rift ended Annan and Olmedo's brief togetherness.

Annan is planning to invite Olmedo to Xingyue Bay as a guest next time. As for why next time...

"Ingrid, let the craftsmen meet at the lord's mansion." Annan returned to the city lord's "mansion" after passing the ugly wooden house that embarrassed him.

The reserved craftsmen arrived later, and the ogre's foresight kept the big house from feeling crowded at all.

"On behalf of Xingyue Bay, I welcome you all." Annan addressed the ceremony according to etiquette but did not follow it for long, "You have seen the situation in Xingyue Bay... Do you have any thoughts?"

The craftsmen hesitated, and a speculator stood up at this moment: "I have never seen such a unique house. It is like being in a dream, full of innocence and art... The entire territory is integrated with nature——"

Most craftsmen showed shamelessness, but a few craftsmen regretted that they were slower.

Annan thought thoughtfully: "You think it's pretty good?"

"It's a work of art," said the craftsman with a delicate goatee.

"What's your name?"

"Grosso, Lord Lord!"

Annan said to the captain of the personal guard outside the door: "Exclude Grosso from the ranks of craftsmen who design houses, give him an ax and let him cut down trees."

The pale-faced goatee craftsman was taken out of the big house, and Annan looked around at the silent craftsman.

"I don't want to listen to flattering and exaggerated praise. It was late autumn when I came to Xingyue Bay. Because there was no time to build beautiful and practical houses, I first allowed the people to build houses freely."

Annan first shied away the responsibility, and then said: "I invite you to build exquisite houses for Xingyue Bay. If you can't do it, it's okay. Xingyue Bay is full of places that employ people."

Does it mean there is a lack of people to cut down trees?

Grosso's tragedy is still vivid in his mind, and the craftsmen certainly will not refuse.

Lord's mansions, residences, blacksmith shops, warehouses, shops, toilets, docks, walls... There are many types of buildings that need to be built.

The highest priorities were the lord's mansion, docks and walls, but Annan erased the lord's mansion and put the priority of the road at the top.

Not only is it quite comfortable for Annan to live in this log house, but they have to pave roads or roadbeds before the soil freezes, otherwise the entire camp will turn into mud if it melts next year.

Nothing is more suitable for paving roads than cement. Even Breeze City mainly has stone roads, and the rest are dirt roads. During the rainy season, they turn into sludge puddles that emit stench and breed bacteria.

Annan is going to send a team of five people to search for limestone along the coast. As for some slag and things Annan can't remember... he plans to find it and hand it over to Michael for development - mages usually dabble in potions and alchemy, as we all know , Alchemy can be understood as changing substances, so cement is also an alchemical material.

As for the price of alchemy... Although the income of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has become stagnant, and the theater and several other screening venues now only have two to three hundred gold coins per day, the total revenue has exceeded 20,000 gold coins.

It is said that at the meeting of the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, Olmedo silenced the councilors and nobles with the data he presented - 6% of Breeze City's tax revenue this year was contributed by Annan. In other words, it was contributed by the movie "The Fall of the Mage Tower".

It’s not that no one is trying to imitate. Those who are smart will imitate after seeing "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", such as "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", and "Jack and Rose's One-night Affair", which are directly copied. They will translate those popular stage plays and epic stories into magical images, but they don’t know what lens language, storyboard technology, montage, or even editing are.

It was so shoddy that theater owners refused to release it, and Annan had no interest in learning about his competitors.

And because the ticket price was 1 silver coin and the audience was not large, we lost a lot of money. I had no choice but to raise the price——

10 silver coins? So why don't they watch "Fall of the Tower" ten times?

The guy who didn’t want to bear the burden of a recording magic stone that could only be used ten times went to ask about the price of the eternal magic stone——

1,000 gold coins?

Then why don't they buy cotton?

Speaking of cotton, the "Susan Spinning Machine" made by the King in the North was the main culprit for the skyrocketing price of cotton, making cotton clothes affordable for those damn poor people.

After dozens of minutes of discussion, Annan and the craftsmen finalized the plan for Xingyue Bay. The construction is mainly made of stone, supplemented by wood.

Annan had a special liking for Breeze City-style buildings with pitched roofs, which were also suitable for the snowfall in the Northland winter.

They had a long winter to complete the work.

Leaving this matter to Francois for coordination, Annan looked at Ingrid who was left behind: "Tell me about Gemma Diatra."

The Diatra family is in Bethal City, except for the fact that Annan knows that Gema Diatra is the second son of the family. This Gema rarely leaves the family, and has never even left Bethal City.

Gemma Diatra is described by others as a gentle, approachable nobleman.

Annan couldn't combine this word with that face that needed a beating, so Olmedo was puzzled when he learned about Gmar Diatra's performance in Xingyue Bay.

"Is he an elite mage?"

"Germa is just an ordinary person."

Annan recalled several low-level spells that night at the promontory... Did Gemma Diatra hide the identity of the mage?

A second son who had never left the city and hid his identity as a spellcaster suddenly left the family and provoked a king in the north in a high-profile way. After asking for his territory to no avail, he opened up territory nearby... What does he want to do?

"It is impossible for the unpopular second son to awaken as a spell caster because of the soul hidden in the magic ring. After the family was humiliated, he stayed behind for thirty years east of the Pulangi River and left thirty years west of the Pulangi River. According to the oath, The guide of the soul came to Xingyue Bay, which has precious resources, but found that it had been occupied by others, so he had to seize the territory."

Annan thought irresponsibly.

Maybe it's even a girl. Augusta can hide Olmedo's identity for twenty years, and so can the Diatra family.

"Thirty years east of the Pulani River...?"

""The Law Breaks the Sky" is also my work."

"I will find a chance to read." Ingrid nodded.

No matter what, Annan needs to be prepared. Gema's "Snow Mountain Port" is very close to Xingyue Bay, so close that the cavalry can raid it in just one morning, and the trucks only need one day.

Ingrid left the big house, and there were new residents to make arrangements for. Annan looked out the window and saw the orange-red fire arrow coming from the east.

The leader of Ossurond finally replied:

[Bad Annan, smelly Annan:

you are done! The eldest sister is angry. She stopped me even if I wanted to reply. You shouldn't hide it from the family. The eldest sister is very sad and I am also very disappointed. But now I am the only one who can help you. Please say something to comfort the eldest sister. She likes about violet flowers. long poem!

Also, Xingyue Bay? Have you been deceived by a stinky woman from the elves? 】

Annan read it many times and wrote a reply after careful consideration.
