Alien world

Chapter 1178 Chapter 100. Research on Strangeness
"Do you want to learn the mysterious knowledge of governing a territory?"

"Not learn."

"Do you want to master the forbidden alchemy of ancient wizards?"

"Do not want to."

"Do you want to obtain the supreme secret that allows your people to become professionals?"

"No."

"You don't want to learn this, and you don't want to learn that. What do you want?"

"I want the people of Liberty City to earn their happiness through their hard work."

Da da da--

Footsteps sounded outside the lounge. Annan paused and put away his quill.

Olmedo came in and saw Annan shaking out his notes: "Are you working on a new script?"

"No, just writing something down." Annan put the notebook back into the magic ring. "Actually, I've been running out of inspiration lately."

Olmedo didn't believe it. He thought leasing farmland was a genius idea. It would not only avoid the nobles' competition for interests, but also allow the common people to enjoy the government's decrees, and the farmers would not have the lazy thinking of "this is not my land".

"How could you bear to come out?"

On weekdays, Olmedo stays in her office until late at night, and sometimes asks Abby to bring her food.

"We had some friction with Lord Franco in the west."

"What's going on? Do we need to send a corps?"

"No... just a small problem."

Olmedo said that their team that was surveying forest and mountain resources encountered hunters from Franco's territory, and after a confrontation, they retreated.

The Forest Mountains belong neither to Franco's territory nor to the Gem Bay. Olmedo means that they should be jointly developed as a mitigation zone - whoever discovers the resources first will own them.

"They just sent an envoy to the banquet half a month ago, and now they are provoking us at the border... They are not friendly, and you still want to ease the tension?"

"We are the ones here."

The Franco territory has been operating here for a hundred years, and they have only been here for a short time.

"Uh...then do as you say."

The friction in the forest and mountains is really just a minor problem. As long as the Lord of Franco is not stupid, he will not cause trouble for Annan.

Because all the nearby forces know that the champion warlock has been very angry recently.

The cause was that a group of bandits who had been wreaking havoc in the Principality of Montamblelock for a long time targeted the workers who were going to the north to build the city wall. They seemed to have heard that Liberty City was very rich, so they raided a camp and captured hundreds of workers.

When Itilia learned about the situation, she asked Grand Duke Girardi to deal with the bandits called the "Black Bull Raiders" and then eliminate all the bandits in the country.

Archduke Girardi was furious when he heard this, and sent his personal guards to attack, finally defeating the bandit group of dozens of members and rescuing the captured workers. However, everyone knows how weak the Principality is. At the beginning, Archduke Mad Dog looked like even the Empire couldn't do anything to him, and then he died in Gem Bay with his family, and didn't even see the Free City.

If they were capable of dealing with the bandits, they would not be incapable of dealing with the bandits.

As a result, a few days later, a group of well-equipped, large-scale, and powerful soldiers suddenly appeared in the Principality. They claimed to be soldiers of the Principality, but no one had ever seen them...

They swept through the long and narrow principality from west to east like plowing a yard, and then piled up the enemies' heads outside the Free City to form a mausoleum.

This move made the empire very happy. The imperial legions stationed in the west were eager to try and also wanted to replicate it on the border to scare those small forces.

Who knows if the Imperial Legion will be so bloodthirsty that they might kill them as bandits as well.

After all, sometimes what they do is not much different from what bandits do...

Annan, who is still unaware of the changes in his appearance, is still associated with plants: farmlands and the world tree.

In general, farmland is more important. After a while, it will not be suitable for spring ploughing, and it is a bit late even now. So in addition to asking the mages to go to the farmland to summon earth elementals to help fertilize the soil and water elementals to help water the crops, Annan also asked Dad to invite his old druid friend.

"It's been a year since you and the Centaur have separated. Why don't you invite them to sit here..."

"You already have so many women around you, isn't that enough?"

Annan immediately defended himself: "I did this for Liberty City!"

"You'd better be..."

"Why do you think that of me?"

Dad sneered, "What are the names of my fellow druids?"

"Uh... by the way, how is the progress of the Different World Tree?"

Regarding the tree in the other world, Dade still allowed Annan to change the subject: "We used natural power and life force to irrigate it, but there was no obvious effect..."

“So it’s still effective?”

"It's very small... It would cost a lot to give the Otherworldly Tree a few more leaves."

“How expensive is expensive?”

Annan attempted to build the tree of another world by relying on his strong financial resources.

"About one leaf... 500 gold coins." Dad was not used to equating things with money.

Still acceptable? A tree has about tens of thousands of leaves, and "only" 10 million gold nars can make the other world tree grow into a big tree.

"Is there really no other way?" Annan asked.

"It comes from another world, and the nutrients it needs probably don't exist in this world..."

Annan seemed to be thinking: "The merchant who sold it to me said that it should be fertilized with strangeness."

"weird?"

"They are monsters from another world, and they are the culprits for the destruction of Yiwen City. However, with the princess closing the passage, no new monsters will come in, and the contact with the merchants from another world was suddenly cut off some time ago." Annan shook his head, "I did bring back a few monsters."

"Where are they?"

……

The Weird Squad lived at 13 Liberty Street and led a quiet life.

There are little blue dragons in the city who go to school, goblins who play with children, and cats who like to play pranks like fairies, so it makes sense that there are talking slugs and skateboards.

Correspondingly, it is normal for there to be talking slugs and skateboards in the city, and for there to be little blue dragons going to school.

The charred girl lives in Room 101. Although her appearance is horrifying, she is loved and pitied by the ladies because of her life story.

Because of its "disgusting" appearance and shrill voice, the slug is loved by the goblins and is said to have become the goblins' mascot.

The Invisible Man and the Slender Dancing Shadow followed Betty in the theater and on the crew as extras and character actors, and the Anthropomorphic Man followed Tina as a special effects artist.

Candlehead became a frequent visitor to the tavern - don't get me wrong, there was no tavern that needed him to light up, but the succubi would always encounter some... guests with special preferences who needed candleheads to liven up the atmosphere.

The drawing board man continues to use his specialty of "drawing what he sees" to paint portraits and landscapes for guests in parks and street corners every day.

Annan asked the guards to bring a monster over. Three minutes later, the man with the painting board who was performing at the gate of the city lord's mansion was brought over.

"Painter, I need you to cooperate with us in our research."

A vivid mournful expression appeared on the drawing board: "Boss, I am loyal to you..."

Annan patted the frame of the drawing board figure, as if patting its shoulder: "Don't worry, you will be fine."
