A strange world

Chapter 573 Chapter 230. Trivia in Liberty City

Nana is quirky and lively like a tree elf. Her appreciation of art gave her a natural affinity for Annan and Liberty City;

Iris is the same as Nana, but more reserved. She knows her purpose, and the pride of the high elves keeps her true to her word;

Morrigan advocates the strong, strength and faith. Because the Holy Grail Knight is on Annan's side, she also stands on Annan's side;

When Annan told the "Elven Mentor" the news, she showed surprise.

"Although it is different from what I expected... but at least it is completed." Annan thought for a while, "There are more than 20 elves in the envoy group. Do I want to continue to contact other elves?"

"They are the people chosen by Elder Tedder to be close to Free City. If they do nothing, they will also be close to Free City."

"Praise Tedder." Annan said a prayer.

Tedder looked at the playful Annan with a slight smile.

"Irilanze, is Elder Tedder really that good-looking?" he asked quietly.

"I... don't know." Tedder couldn't praise himself. Annan would have to know sooner or later that he was not an elf mentor: "I'm not interested in appearance."

Annan said nothing. It couldn't be because of his own talent that the elf mentor pursued him so crazily.

He continued to write the script with his head down, and Tedder sat aside, quietly accompanying him.

Elves usually don't have passionate emotions, their emotions are as natural as the forest - except for Irilanze.

"Phew...done."

An hour later, Annan rubbed his sore wrist.

With the help of the memory thread technique, he completed the script for "When the Orcs Knock on the Door" in three days.

Leaning back in the chair, Annan noticed the "Elf Mentor" sitting on the sofa illuminated by the sun.

She sat there quietly, her moonlight robe spread out naturally, like a beautiful sculpture, and tiny floating dust lingered around her like a breath of tranquility... Annan had never seen such an elf mentor before.

Annan couldn't bear to disturb this scene, but after a long time, she remained motionless.

Is she asleep?

Annan stood up with the script and waved his hand in front of her: "I'm going to the eldest sister and Olmedo's place. Do you want to come with me?"

"I have something to think about," she said.

Annan gave the "Elf Mentor" some time alone and knocked on the door of Olmedo's office.

"Annan, do you want to go south?" Olmedo didn't even look up.

"Why do you ask?"

"Our merchants have opened up the situation in Gangduo Territory, and you can already go to the south to see it."

Annan thought of the unique situation and ecology in the south, and suppressed his thoughts: "Wait for two more months."

Annan put down the script amid Olmedo's doubts: "The new magical image can't work without me."

"Have you finished writing it?" Olmedo glanced at "When the Orcs Knock on the Door" on the cover, revealing his surprise.

Who would think that making money is too fast?

As we all know, each of Annan's magic images can make a lot of money, making imitators jealous, jealous, and hopeful...

They mainly want to steal skills.

"It would be great if you could stably produce one magic image every month. In three years at most, we will become a behemoth like Breeze City."

At that time, the family behind Olmedo will not complain.

"Magic images are just knives and forks. If you want to make more money, you have to make the 'cake' bigger."

So far, the Free City's trade scope barely covers a quarter of Middle-earth and a small part of the North. Not to mention Wilhelm and the South, as long as Free City's trade covers most of the Middle-earth, their interests will increase several times.

"We've been accelerating."

Their method is to acquire and build a theater in the city-state, and then use the theater as the core to transform the surrounding area into a commercial street selling Liberty City specialties.

This is both stable and supported by those in power, otherwise Liberty City would not be able to cover a quarter of Middle-earth in just five months.

Now, every moment, there are merchant ships carrying tourists who come here to visit and young people who come from the city to pursue their dreams. The total population is close to 50,000 people - so after the war with the Mad Dog Archduke, Annan added a new threshold for becoming a citizen at the suggestion of Itilia and Olmedo, and changed the residence to only those who have citizen status. Only then can you have the privilege of living in it.

Except for those residents of Star Moon Bay and Breeze City who returned, Olmedo accepted them and their families.

Even so, Liberty City still seemed crowded. Although it had not reached the point where residents were sleeping on the streets during the war, it was still close to overcrowding.

Fortunately, if trouble comes, Itilia and Olmedo will solve it.

Annan's attention was entirely focused on "When the Orcs Knock on the Door".

They have yet to film magical images featuring aliens. "Betal's Redemption" does not count. At that time, "Andy" was the protagonist, but the story was from "Freeman's" perspective. So he couldn't leave a lot of shooting to Betty and the others like "Annan Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

The father and son Betty selected were Brooke and Dag - they were both malnourished among the orcs, almost only taller humans, and their fangs and body hair had also degenerated due to lack of nutrition.

Dagur is okay, he is not an adult, he is just being bullied by other orc boys. But Brooke was bullied by his tribe because he was an adult and weak.

That's why Betty picked them. An orc that is too strong and fierce would not fit the embarrassment of the father and son, and would give the audience a sense of intrusion.

Because the commercial and diplomatic value of "When Orcs Knock on the Door" must at least suit the aesthetics of humans and elves.

The only problem is how to teach them to act.

"grown ups……"

Annan looked at them both, Brooke and Dag hunched their shoulders in fear. Without proficiency in Common Language, they would not even have the courage to speak to Annan.

Even so, they did not dare to look directly at Annan.

It comes from the simple point of view of the orcs: the leader Garr can step on their heads, Annan can step on the leader Garr's head, so Annan can step on their heads.

"They work hard, but..." Betty said helplessly, "the talent gap is not so easy to smooth out."

While Annan was busy with the preparatory work for "When the Orcs Knock on the Door", the envoys concluded their week-long visit.

The second group of envoys will arrive in three months.

Annan asked Tedder in confusion: "How many batches are there in total?"

"I don't know, maybe for several years."

"Why so long?"

"In the concept of elves, a few years is similar to a few months for humans. And the alliance is very important, and most of the people in the royal court must agree."

Annan thought so, but it happened that the shooting of magic images took time: "Will you still lead the second batch?"

Tedder was about to refuse, but then he remembered that the real Irelanze had been replaced by him once.

"Well, I'll do it again."
