Alien world

Chapter 1195 Chapter 117. Gale is getting deeper and deeper

"...Finally, after my unremitting efforts, I was able to keep Mr. Swarlow!"

In the City Lord's Mansion, in the Deputy City Lord's office, Idyllia sat behind her desk, and heard Annan's request for credit.

"Why did I hear that it was a letter from children?"

"Well... the children certainly contributed, but it mainly depends on me."

"Why do I remember that Mr. Swarlow didn't like you very much?"

"How could that be? If he didn't like me, why would he agree to teach in Liberty City?" Annan argued loudly, "Don't think that Mr. Swarlow is difficult to approach. In fact, he looks gloomy on the outside but is passionate on the inside."

What else can Idiliya do except to accommodate her younger brother?

"Mr. Swarovski is not leaving. Will the new school's Dean of the School of Magic be left to him?"

"Of course, we can also name the college after Mr. Swarlow."

"Swarovski Academy... sounds good?"

Annan's words floated from the side: "At least it's better than Shrek Academy."

……

Liberty City's plan for the future school is to divide it into upper and lower houses, and each house is divided into three major colleges:

The upper academy is headed by the extraordinary system of Magic Academy, Warrior Academy, and Ranger Academy, and the lower academy is mainly composed of ordinary professions such as Political Academy, Military Academy, and Life Academy.

In addition to Annan who has already been confirmed as the honorary principal and Mr. Swarovski as the dean of the School of Magic, the other five major colleges are temporarily vacant.

Idyliya encouraged people from the Free City to nominate themselves, and even outsiders could take up the position. However, with Mr. Swarlow in the front, others had to examine whether they were qualified enough.

The elites are not qualified to speak, the masters don't think they can do it, and the epic... except for Mr. Svaro, there is only Aga left in Liberty City, and it is not suitable to be in the spotlight.

However, the new school will take at least three to six months to build, so they have enough time to find a dean, and it is not impossible to fill the vacancy.

On the other hand, Idyllia sent Eli to survey the terrain and find a suitable mountain road. Annan said that building a road over the mountains would not be as convenient as sea transportation, so it would be better to build a tunnel.

Tunnels are the best engineering project for dwarves, followed by ratmen. However, the dwarves in Free City have more important things to do, and the ratmen...

Annan sent Eli to recruit a thousand workers first, and then he went to find Gail.

……

The noble gray-haired rat Gale, a priest of the Skaven of Stuhn, has been in deep trouble recently.

She followed Annan's instructions and asked the elders of the McKeon clan about the dynamics of the clan. She got some inside information, but was also criticized by the elders...

After so much time had passed, she had made no progress in corrupting Liberty City, and the elders were urging her on.

Gale could only use the excuse that she had only been in Liberty City for a short time and Annan did not trust her enough, and that this time she wanted information about the ratmen from McKeon to increase their trust...

She knew that Annan was using her, but she had no choice but to cooperate with him...

"You are not being honest, little mouse~"

A voice that was both hateful and complicated suddenly sounded. Gail looked up and looked at Annan who appeared outside the window.

"I do not understand what you are saying……"

Annan pushed open the window, climbed into the room, sat on the windowsill and said, "Have you got any information about the McKeon clan?"

Gale remained silent.

"See, this is what I'm talking about." Annan spread his hands, "You've been in Liberty City for so long, but you're still hiding something."

"I just don't want to be used by you."

"Why do you think so, Gale? We are in a cooperative relationship. There is no hatred between Liberty City and the Stoon Ratmen." "Breeze City." Gale said a place name.

Annan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Isn't it because your clan Stoon assassinated me first and then took away my position as city lord?"

Gale remained silent.

"So even I have generously forgiven your assassination, what reason do you have to continue to hate me?"

Annan said in his deceptively gentle whisper, "Come on, tell me about the McCann Rat."

"They are...preparing to launch an autumn offensive."

"autumn?"

"Well, you guys will leave town during the fall harvest, and the Macken rats will attack."

There are still five months until the autumn harvest. Five months... It's almost enough time for the principality to finish building the Great Wall.

Although the Principality may not have the strength to resist the ratmen by then, the Empire will.

The empire could not sit idly by when the vassal Principality of Montabulloc was invaded - the walls of Annam were prepared for them.

While Annan was lost in thought, Gail looked at the boy on the windowsill and realized that he was sinking deeper and deeper...

If she could betray the Macken rat for Annan, she would betray the Stunn rat sooner or later... and then she would be a sinner of the rat people...

"By the way, I'm planning on starting a tunnel project in the Forest Mountains, and I'd like to hire some ratmen... do you have any recommendations?"

Gail looked up in surprise and saw Annan smiling gently.

……

Gail took Annan's gift and went to contact the elders of the tribe. His face, full of exotic beauty, was no longer always sad.

Annan did not lie to her. There was no indelible hatred between Liberty City and the Stuhn Ratmen. Even if there was, it should be Annan's hatred for the Stuhn Ratmen.

As for corruption, which is what the ratmen are best at, it is not something that needs to be considered now.

Their cooperation has just begun, and it is still unclear who will corrupt whom...

Not only did the news about the McCann Ratman not lead to the cancellation of the tunnel, it made it even more important.

To the west of Free City is the Franco Territory, and to the west of the Franco Territory are a number of small forces. Just like the stray animals in the town always disappear quietly, but can be seen everywhere, these forces on the border of Middle-earth are similar.

However, they probably have a lot of psychological trauma - a few years ago, the McKeon ratmen followed them northward... and maybe they even destroyed a lot of small forces along the way.

A tunnel in the hands of Liberty City could play an unexpected role in wartime.

Now that we have the information about the McKeon ratmen, the next question is where they will launch their attack.

Don't be in a hurry. Annan and Gale have just become friendly with each other, and Stuen Ratman may not know about it, or McKeon Ratman himself doesn't know where to attack.

Maybe they have gone mad and want to attack the empire?
As usual, Annan sent a copy of the news to the empire first, even though the empire might have already known about it.

As for the Kingdom of Dimon, Annan specifically told the messenger not to tell anyone except Marshal Galkin.

On May 5th, Annan put on a brand new family wizard robe and went to the port to greet a large ship from Wilhelm.

The merchant ship carrying the three princes' thank-you gifts and envoys officially arrived in Liberty City.

"Hello, honorable Lord Annan Reeves."

The tall and thin man saluted to Annan and said, "I am the retainer of His Highness Waldo Hernandez, the executive officer Betula York. I am here to deliver the second and third gifts on His Highness' orders."
