Alien world

Chapter 1201 Chapter 123. Showing the mice the magic images

This name carries Annan’s beautiful vision: he hopes that these ratmen craftsmen can bring beauty.

In fact, they did a good job. Olmedo, who received the progress of the tunnel today, said that the 100 ratmen made the excavation speed nearly twice as fast as the previous two days.

"If it's so useful, why don't we ask the Stoon Ratmen to send us 100 more Ratmen craftsmen?" Annan asked tentatively.

"Why recruit so many ratmen? In terms of efficiency, golems and earth elementals are no worse than them." No one in the North would have a good impression of ratmen. Even Olmedo didn't want there to be too many ratmen in Liberty City.

"If you're in such a hurry, why don't you use them?"

Annan shook his head: "With golems and earth elementals working, what are the workers doing?"

Another 100 Skaven craftsmen won't take up the workers' positions, but using golems won't necessarily be the case, just like when Annan first brought out the Susan spinning machine...

It is certainly not a bad thing to achieve greater efficiency at a lower cost, but it is a bad thing at the wrong time: hasty upgrading will lead to a surge in the number of unemployed people, which in turn will increase instability.

Liberty City can afford to support them, but it cannot tolerate lazy people. So when Liberty City encounters a recruitment shortage, that is the best time to upgrade.

“Let’s wait a few days,” Olmedo said. “We need to see how citizens react to them.”

"Then do as you say."

……

Another thing happened on this day: the elf celebration that Annan had been secretly following officially ended.

Apart from rumors of alliances and rare attacks, the Elf Festival was no different from previous years - except that most forces were not eligible to participate twice.

The Elf Royal Court and the Kingdom of Paem downplayed the attack, turning it into a story that Prince Aidan did many evil things during the celebration because of his hatred for the elves, and was eventually brought to justice and his remains sent back to the kingdom.

Now that both parties have reached a settlement, the dispute is no longer there.

As for Annan...his role as a mediator was downplayed by both sides.

The Elven Royal Court would not declare that they would rely on human help to catch the murderer, and the King would not take the initiative to publicize the bad things Prince Aidan did in the Royal Court, so it was hard to say that the generous gift from the Kingdom was not intended to keep the secret.

That's better than the royal court. They didn't contact Annan and didn't give him anything. Taidel didn't contact him either and didn't give him anything. They were so arrogant that they didn't even give him anything!

Annan could only recite in his heart, 30 years on the east bank of the Planni River, 30 years on the west bank of the Planni River...

The guests set out on their return journey, and Skeleton King was no exception, and he deliberately "passed by" Liberty City.

"How many people has it eaten?" The Skeleton King raised his head. Now the tree in the other world requires it to look up.

The tree in the other world rustled and shook its branches. Annan said, "It's too harsh for you to say that. It's not happy."

The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes "stared" at the Otherworld Tree: "It has developed self-awareness?"

"Actually, it can't be said to be consciousness. It's more like a small animal that can respond to your behavior." Annan stretched out his hand, and the other world tree responded by dropping a branch into his palm. The nourishing touch made him smile.

Who can refuse a world tree that is close to them and belongs to them?
"You're not going to hide it?"

"That's not necessary. I don't think the elves will react that quickly. By the time they find out, Liberty City won't be afraid of them anymore."

"Have you decided?"

Annan was just about to ask what the decision was when he remembered the conversation before they parted.

"Who knows? There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. If the future elves are willing to kneel before me and lick me... willing to beg for my forgiveness, I am not incapable of considering it."

Before leaving, the Skeleton King asked Annan for a few leaves from another world for research.

Annan also had something to ask Skeleton King: "If you get close to Strange City again, please help me see if you can summon the merchant from another world."

After all, the Other World Tree is not a native life form. Who knows if there will be any accidents in the future? In order to prevent the carefully cultivated Other World Tree from withering, he has to make adequate preparations.

After the Skeleton King agreed, he took Annan's free teleport back to the Kingdom of the Dead - Warlocks certainly have advantages of this and that, but they also have many advantages that Legends can't match, such as a portal that spans the continent.

……

New day, new noise.

But after listening to it for a long time, Little Smoo kind of likes the sound of the gauntlet hanging on the rock, coupled with the sudden burst of sparks, which can be seen in the night sky even in the daytime.

He occasionally helped the ratman craftsman hold the magic lamp, but mainly he brought them food and thought about where to take them to play tonight.

The theater is a good place to go. Little Smoo still remembers the shock he felt when he first saw the magic video. Although the theater ticket is still a bit expensive, most people in Liberty City can go to the theater on a free weekend, or go to the tavern to have a glass of lemonade and watch the succubus dance.

The ratmen craftsmen probably can't go to the tavern, not because they are worried about fighting with the guests, but because their broad backs may not be able to squeeze through the door.

In order to get the ratman craftsmen to perform in the same theater, Little Smo went to the Liberty City Theater at lunch time.

Coincidentally, the employee working in the theater was a former member of the Free Blade. After hearing the purpose of the visit, he patted his chest and guaranteed that he would reserve an evening time slot for Little Smalls.

Taking out his purse, Little Smo paid a gold coin.

"The Rat Man is so rich?" His old subordinate said as he reached out to take the money.

“I got a severance package.”

The theater employee stopped moving instantly and refused to take the call.

"Take it. My severance pay is more than yours."

The theater staff took the money and promised that the rat people would feel at home when they entered the theater.

"It's best not to let them feel like they're back home." Little Smalls had to remind them.

After a busy day, Little Small led the mice to the theater just like yesterday.

After patiently waiting for the rats to buy a lot of food outside the theater, they walked into the theater.

"Commander, what are you showing them? The Fall of the Mage Tower?"

"I am no longer the commander... Did you show the Skaven the magical video of the Skaven attacking the Mage Tower?"

"Is it not good?" the theater employee asked in surprise.

"Would you like to work at a new theatre?"

"Oh... then which one do you want to change?"

"Don't address me as such... Just 'When Freedom Knocks on the Door'."

"give it to me!"

The core of "When Freedom Knocks on the Door" is the story of how foreigners suffer discrimination outside and finally find happiness in Liberty City.

So although the rat people are looking at the orcs, they are putting their own emotions into the scenes.

If they have any.

Little Smalls stood aside.

As the former commander of the Freeblade, he realized better than anyone how useful magical images could be.

Regardless of race, gender, or position, magical images have the power to make people sit quietly in front of the curtain for two hours.
