Chapter 1131 53. Selling Alcohol to Dwarves

"Why do you have to wait until the celebration is over? Can't you give it to me now?"

"I'm afraid not……"

"Reveal some first?" Annan was persistent.

"I would say that's 'something' you hold dear."

Treasure, order form...Annan was already looking forward to it.

The first day of the celebration ended just like that.

The elves didn't catch the murderer because the next day, a large group of elves moved into the wooden house community and kept an eye on everyone.

This is a stupid way, but also the simplest way.

The only ones who will create unrest are those outside. Keep an eye on everyone, and they will be discovered if they try to do anything else.

As for whether it would offend the forces behind the envoy... the elves have always been like this. Even if the Supreme King came in person, they would not give him any preferential treatment.

Since it couldn't be changed, Annan said nothing more, still feeling a little superior - behind you are either the ratman high priest, the dwarf king, the supreme king, the ancient dragon... but you still have to stay here obediently. And you can go wherever you want.

"Annan Reeves, please return to your quarters."

Then Annan was blocked at the intersection by the elven guards.

If you are not allowed to go out, then don't go out. There are also things to do in Annan, the Messenger Village.

……

"Are you still worried about the long order period? Are you still worried about spending money but not being a good person? Say goodbye to bad salesmen and no need to wait! The Knight Golem, which is as powerful as the elite, is now on sale! Not 3000 gold nars, not 2000 gold nars, but only 998 gold nars! Order now, the Knight Golem, which originally costs 998 gold nars, is only 500 gold nars!"

"You can't afford to suffer a loss or be deceived. For only 500 gold nars, a magical golem with both protection and power will immediately descend upon your world!"

“This is more than just a golem. It is your solid backing on your adventure and a loyal guard of your homeland. Whether you are exploring deep dungeons or vast magical forests, the Knight Golem will lend you a helping hand with its extraordinary power to resolve crises and harvest treasures!”

"Don't hesitate any longer! Opportunities are fleeting! With 998 Kinnars, you can bring this incredible power home, making your adventure more exciting and your dreams within reach! Act now and start your legendary chapter!"

"Remember, anything produced in Liberty City must be of the highest quality!"

At dawn, envoys from all over the continent of Allen heard passionate shouts outside the wooden house, followed by the shaking of the ground.

The scene that the human messengers experienced a few days ago happened again, and this time there was an additional sound attack.

The first day of the celebration had passed, and with Annan greeting people everywhere, even the most uninformed envoys knew who Annan was.

As for the evaluation... those who are from Middle-earth and know about Free City, such as the Empire, Skeleton King, and Prince Aidan, know the potential of Free City. Those who don't know think that Annan is a puppet of the Elven King's Court.

Young, immature, likes to stand out, and is ignorant of the ways of the world... No matter how you look at it, he looks like a puppet without real power.

Annan wanted to refute, but as they took out real money to buy things, he started to make money in silence.

Even so, the sales for the whole day were less than 7,000 kina.

The richer you are, the stingier you are. As for not liking it... well, that's possible.

The dwarves thought the metal cast by the golems was too rough and not as good as the hammered steel. The Rat King said that the ratmen in Thrane were endless, and if you build a golem, I can give birth to 10,000 ratmen. The orcs said that the golems were blaspheming their faith.

As for the elf... they bought one.

It's not that they admired the golem and bought one... It's just that Annan took the golem to the elven guards stationed there, saying that they were slender and needed the golem's protection. Their captain immediately put an arrow on the bow, and the strong wind blew past Annan's head. He turned around and saw that the golem's five-centimeter-thick chest was pierced by the arrow... Then he cried and shouted, forcing the elven guards to pay him 500 gold coins as compensation...

Annan took the money, and the elf guard had to thank him - because Annan only wanted 50 gold coins.

He said that the golem was only pierced on the surface, and the magic runes inside were not damaged, so a new one could be cast. When their captain learned about it, he bought one directly, which was a testimony to their friendship.

Also witnessing friendship was Harvey Stoneskull, the dwarf who drank a bottle of Annan's alcohol at the feast.

Michael urgently made another barrel of distilled liquor, so much so that Harvey Stoneskull drooled when Annan came.

Harvey Stoneskull opened the lid of the barrel, buried his head in it and took a deep breath.

“Why isn’t it as fragrant as the one from the day before yesterday?” he muttered, pulling out a stone cup from somewhere, scooping a full cup out and pouring it into his mouth.

Harvey Stoneskull complained that the taste was not as good as that day and poured himself another glass.

Annan watched him complain as he drank almost one-fifth of a barrel of high-proof distilled liquor. His skin turned brown again and he sat down holding the barrel.

A normal person would have gone crazy after getting drunk after this, but the dwarf seemed to be gifted and instead remained sober and asked Annan to get another barrel.

Annan thought he was going to bargain, but Harvey Stoneskull said he would take the barrel of wine back to the Dwarf King.

"Human boy, with this brewing technique, you will make a fortune."

Annan remained noncommittal.

How could he not know how profitable wine is? It's just that wine requires a lot of grain in the brewing process. The higher the purity, the more grain is consumed. Without a sufficient agricultural foundation, it is impossible to support a large-scale winery. Liberty City has just added a few hundred thousand people, and it is an astronomical figure to feed the citizens every day.

Even if they were forced to move out, their business would only be taken away by merchants, just like what happened to Susan's spinning machine.

Moreover, as a large amount of grain is used to make wine, more poor people will not be able to afford food.

Annan originally asked Michael to get that bottle of alcohol to see if it could be used for medical purposes or as a substitute for fuel. When he saw the dwarves, he remembered that they were addicted to alcohol, so he gave it a try.

"It still needs to be improved, but it should be able to be brewed in large quantities in a few years." Annan said after careful consideration.

By that time, large tracts of farmland will have been reclaimed in Gem Bay, and there should be surplus food.

"After a few years? You are simply murdering the dwarves!" Harvey Stoneskull complained loudly, saying that Annan didn't know the suffering of the dwarves - he had tasted such delicious wine, how could he tolerate those wines as light as water! ?
"How about this, Liberty City will provide you dwarves with special alcohol."

Dwarves are full of treasures. They are not like dragons, but they can forge, hammer, and mine. Their strength is not much inferior to that of orcs. They are simply born workers and craftsmen.

If Annan were asked to choose between ten dwarf craftsmen and ten elven rangers...Annan would still choose ten elven rangers.

The reason is that there are already dozens of dwarves in Free City, but not a single elf. It is definitely not that Annan is attracted by the beauty of the elves.
