A strange world

Chapter 435 Chapter 93. "The Love Story of Queen Isa"

Annan found Zoe Pickart in the front row of the harbor, who was directing the crew to unload cargo.

"Hello, Champion Warlock, have you bought the ship and are you ready to leave?" Zoe Pickart spoke at an alarming speed.

"I picked a better ship, how about selling it to me?" Annan pointed to the five-masted sailboat in the distance.

"Well... you want the Ineson... it's also a good ship. It only costs... 5,000 gold coins." Zoe Pickett stroked her goatee and offered a high price.

"3500 gold coins, it is not cost-effective to buy a ship at twice the price, and you also lied to me before."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Champion, how can you say that to one of your loyal fans——"

"Then let me ask you, did Jack and Rose kill the rat men with swords or wands?"

"Uh...sword, of course."

"Wrong, only Ruth killed a ratman with an axe." Annan looked at the treacherous ship merchant indifferently.

"Okay...for 3,500 gold coins, you can drive her away..."

The ship dealer held his forehead in pain, so that he could only earn a measly 300 gold coins... But who let the buyer find out?

Annan proudly released four cash boxes and asked Zoe Pickart to count the numbers.

Annan saw the assistant coming back and winked at her.

"Why are you……"

While Zoe Pickart was counting the money, Annan lowered his voice: "You are helping me...I can't let you bear the consequences for me. What is your name?"

"Qiara..."

"Thank you Chiara."

"The Ineson is yours! Or whatever your name is!" Making money is always a happy thing. Zoe Pickett took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands. "But there is one thing I didn't lie to you. My My daughter is really your fan."

Silent Chiara returned to the shack.

"Damn damn damn-!!!"

Standing in the dark room, the woman took out the souvenir given to her by Annan. The warm kindness made her angrily tear the letter into pieces.

…

Annan temporarily boarded the Inesen, opened the portal and released some crew members from the New Initial who had just arrived in Gem City, and gave them a sum of money to purchase a batch of seeds in Syltovis.

Spring will arrive in one month. In any case, farmland is the foundation of Gem City.

Just in case, Annan also left fifty water elementals on the Inesen - the elemental army that was about to expand to 300 allowed Annan to face any legendary enemy with ease.

Coming out of the seaport, Annan was surrounded by enthusiasm, which made some tourists who had just docked wonder who this person was, and also made it more difficult to pass through the already crowded port. Annan had to hide in a corner and put on his hood, like a shady cultist, and he and Della rushed to the carriage.

As soon as they reached the street, two men dressed as businessmen stopped Annan holding a poster: "Two guests, do you want to see "The Love Affair of Queen Isa"? The kind recorded on the Philosopher's Stone..."

Annan tilted his head: "Dela, you go back to the car first."

"Your sister asked me to follow you."

"...How much do two tickets cost?"

"10 gold coins!"

"The Fall of the Mage Tower only costs 50 silver coins." Annan wanted to avoid them.

“But it’s the incredibly beautiful Lucia who plays Queen Isa!”

Annan stopped. He thought that he had been running around for Gem City for so long and never had time to relax. It was time to take a break and learn about the customs and customs of Middle-earth.

"Two tickets."

Annan took out ten gold coins and reluctantly watched the golden elf walk away from him...

One of the men took Annan and Della into a shop. The furniture in the living room had been dismantled, leaving only dozens of chairs placed there.

An hour later, Annan and Della walked out of the shop.

Annan thought about "The Love Affair of Queen Isa". It is rough in every sense, especially the details, and the actors often glance towards the camera, making it difficult for the audience to immerse themselves in the story, and will not pose a threat to the subsequent "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" at all.

Merchants are still crossing the river by touching Annan. Sooner or later, the audience will be attracted by those exquisite magical images belonging to the Allen continent.

But Lucia, who plays Queen Isa, is truly seductive. If it weren't for the hooves, tail and devil horns, Annan would have thought it was a succubus, but...

"You're so fucking fooled! You didn't even have an intimate scene and you asked me for five gold coins! I'll use the money to find a girl and let her act with me for a month!"

The audience who came out spoke what was in Annan's heart.

Annan suddenly stopped.

"Della, I give you a task."

Two minutes later, Annan and Della, who had snatched back 10 gold coins after knocking the man unconscious, fled back to Solz Magic Academy.

Returning from the principal's office to Gem City is like returning from civilization to the wilderness, but everyone knows that a brand new city will rise from the ground.

When Ingrid saw Annan coming back, she pestered her. The two months of separation didn't make her any stranger, and she still talked about business matters as before.

For example, freshly baked cement is not acclimatized in Sltovis.

The countries in Middle-earth have not experienced war for too long - the Principality of Montaburlok is just a coup, and its scale is limited to the mage knights affiliated with various noble lords and the noble lords themselves.

Compared with those who siege cities and conquer territory, they are more interested in noble battles: setting up a time for knights to charge; or less noble battles: assassinating the opponent.

Self-produced and sold? But what's the use of a city wall in Gem City, which already has the foundation of a floating city? So that a drunk walking out of a pub won't stagger over the edge?

Ingrid's idea is to reduce production capacity first and try selling to nearby towns.

"Think of other ideas."

“Are our finances unhealthy?”

“The gains are healthy, but too one-dimensional.”

In the entire Gem City, only magic images are making money... Michael and Francois, who are working as mercenaries outside, are not included.

"Let me think about it..."

Annan looked towards the sea. The New Initiation and three galleons are hoisting their sails, preparing to head to Sltoves...the sails...

Annan suddenly remembered what he saw at the Syltovis seaport: the port workers were all bare-chested or wearing linen clothes with rolled-up sleeves and trouser legs - it was winter now.

"Fast! Fast!" Annan asked the water element to bring Fast over from the beach, "I will arrange a job for you——"

"I……"

Fast, who was full of resistance, was about to refuse.

"I need you to go to the harbor of Sltovis and find out what the sailors and workers wear."

"You just said... seaport, right?"

"Yes, there are still many anglers out there."

"I'm going too!" Leila appeared out of nowhere.

Annan winked at her, sent Fast to Syltovis, and then said to Leila: "The water quality in the harbor is very poor, so you have been fishing there for so long and still haven't caught the bait."

"So that's it!" Leila happily touched Annan's black hair and ran back to the beach.

As night fell, Annan enjoyed a happy dinner as a family of three at Aunt Susan's house. At a certain moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something...
