Alien world

Chapter 1167 Chapter 89. Bringing the Elf Home
When Annan came, he brought a large group of people and goods, and when he left, it was just him and Irelanze.

The caravan was stranded in Wilhelm, after all, a pass was needed to enter Wilhelm. With the anchor point, Annan could come whenever he wanted.

When boarding the merchant ship from Maple Leaf Island back to Middle-earth, Annan originally wanted to stay in a second-class cabin for two people, but even that cost 10 gold coins per ticket. In the end, Irilanze paid out of his own pocket and changed the second-class cabin to a first-class cabin.

Annan couldn't help but feel pain. No matter how rich he was, he couldn't spend it like this. He wanted to snatch Irilanz's magic ring and wear it himself.

But you get what you pay for. The first-class cabin, which is 25 times more expensive, does have the best view and service overlooking the ocean and deck - but those fairly pretty serving maids pale in comparison to Irilanze.

"I brought all my things here, the money I saved, the potions I collected, the spells I researched..."

Annan sat at the table, holding his face, watching Irilanz counting his household treasures like a hamster.

"anything else?"

"Also... the elders of the tribe asked me to take good care of you."

"I'll take good care of you... yeah?"

Irelanze brought all his assets, basically entrusting himself to Annan... This trust is both heavy and precious.

Annan could only do his best not to let her down.

After Irelanze arrived in Liberty City, he had four places to go:
Irelanze was a mentor in the Mage Tower in Breeze City, so in addition to being the owner of the third mushroom house, she can also continue to be a mentor in the Mage Tower, or go to school to teach students - and go to the City Lord's Mansion to serve Annan personally.

"I want it all!"

Irilanze wanted to teach students in the morning, do alchemy at noon, be a mentor in the evening, and serve Annan at midnight.

"The Mage Tower is still under construction, so we don't need a tutor for now. How about you become the owner of the third mushroom house and be a part-time professor at the academy?"

"You decide."

Since being rescued by Annan, Irilanze's feelings towards Annan have changed a little, less desire and more dependence.

Speaking of which, Annan has not yet opened the first gift given by the third prince.

He took out the magic ring and explored it.

Five heavy boxes of cash, um... when you don't know what to give as a gift, this kind of golden elf is the right gift.

Ten portions of mountain essence, this is a good thing, it allows civilians to become warriors unconditionally, the original price is 2000 gold coins, but the supply is in short supply, sometimes you have to pay a premium to buy it. It seems that the third prince knows what Annan needs most.

Fifty sets of fine armor... This is average. Liberty City has its own blacksmith shop. The quality is not as good as the Kingdom armor, but it can be mass-produced.

I'll take it back to Bronzebeard and see if there's any technique that can improve the armor of Liberty City.

Finally, there were a few sacks. Annan initially thought they were Wilhelm's specialty grains, but after taking some out, Irelanze told him, "These are seeds."

"seed?"

The crops in Wilhelm are very different from those outside. Even in Middle-earth, humans have only cultivated it for a thousand years, and agriculture is basically non-existent.

So although these bags of seeds can only maintain high yields for a few generations, their value is actually the highest.

These things added up to about 40,000 gold coins, but the sincerity revealed far exceeded the money itself - what His Royal Highness the Third Prince gave were the things that a developing territory needed most.

This is just a greeting gift, there will be a second and third gift later... By then, maybe Annan will owe the kingdom a favor.

The voyage would take fifteen days, and since he had nothing to do, Annan would visit his neighbors in the first-class cabin during the day.

Those who could afford to pay 250 gold nars for a first-class cabin were either rich or noble, but they were still far behind Annan. They were well-informed, but not that well-informed - they vaguely heard that Annan was the lord who was rumored to form an alliance with the elves recently, but they didn't know about the elves' reneging on their promise two days ago.

These rich people bought many Philosopher's Stones and a large number of corsages.

They are not stupid. Golems and wheelchairs don't look like they will sell well, and Faste cloth has little value, but magic images and bras can definitely be sold easily.

Then came the first and second class cabins. Most of these passengers were professionals and businessmen who were also interested in the Philosopher's Stone, but the price of 100 gold coins per piece was prohibitive for them. Annan, a passenger in the last class cabin, did not let it go either, and dragged Fastbu over to sell it, selling 13 silver and 25 bronze coins in ten days.

It doesn’t matter how much it sells for. What’s important is to let more people know that Fast cloth is good quality and cheap.

In early April, Annan and Irilanze spent what she saw as a romantic trip, with the merchant ship docked in Freeport.

The vibrant pier and sea breeze make Annan feel refreshed.

Verdant City may be beautiful, but it is not as good as Free City. It is not because of the elves' regret.

The news of the failed alliance came before Annan.

Olmedo hesitated for only a moment before asking Evelyn to publish the story in the Voice of Freedom.

After all, if they don't say it, other newspapers will, and by then we don't know how they will edit and smear the news. It would be better for them to do it themselves and hold the initiative in their own hands.

The news of Annan's return soon spread to the whole city - he appeared on the street openly, with an elf female companion.

Annan first took the elf mentor to visit the wizard tower, mushroom house and school, and finally returned to the city lord's mansion.

"You're back?"

Laila asked as she appeared at the door.

Annan was flattered for a moment. This was the first time that his second sister came out to greet him.

Then Laila carried her fishing rod and passed by Annan who was about to say hello, and ran straight to the beach.

It turned out to be just a coincidence.

Retracting his gaze, Annan came to the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion.

Olmedo was already waiting for her in the living room. Unlike usual, he wore a pair of silver-framed glasses and took the time to check his official business.

"Long time no see, Master Irelanze." Olmedo raised his eyes from the parchment and said as the master: "Welcome to Liberty City."

"Long time no see, Olmedo." Irelanze smiled back.

Annan looked at Olmedo, then at the elf mentor, and suddenly raised his head and sniffed.

Apart from the inexplicable confrontation between the two, Olmedo and Irelanze both felt a little emotional. They didn't expect that they would gather in Liberty City.

After talking about some things from the Breeze City period, which Annan couldn't interrupt, Annan took Yilanze to the guest room on the third floor to rest.

When they reached the door, Annan suddenly turned around and said, "I didn't know you looked so good with glasses on."

Wearing silver-rimmed glasses, Olmey looks less tough and more gentle, which highlights the delicacy of the tip of her nose and lips.

Olmedo made a move to take off his glasses, raised his hand, and then stopped.

There were footsteps outside the living room, and Ingrid walked in holding documents.

"Lord Olmedo, this is the list of workers going to the Principality of Montabulloc to build the Great Wall."

"Give it to me." She reached out and took it.

"Are you in a good mood?" Ingrid asked suddenly.

Olmedo was slightly stunned: "Is there?"

“You always smile.”
