Alien world

Chapter 1216 Chapter 138. Different World
"What do you all need?"

"Anything and everything." The eldest prince said solemnly: "Food, metal, weapons..."

The Dimon Kingdom still has some money in its treasury, and they also have a considerable amount of demon iron.

"Do you want a golem?" Annan became excited. "The Knight Golem is as powerful as a large earth elemental, and it can be recharged as long as there is a wizard tower and fight again."

Golems are unsalable and need to be exported urgently. Please help us!
The eldest prince did not lie. The Kingdom of Dimon lacked everything, including golems.

The price of 300 gold coins per golem made the prince look embarrassed. If he purchased more golems, the kingdom's finances would be stretched, and he couldn't refuse Annan, the only one who offered a helping hand...

"We still have some coal and firewood stored. Can we exchange some of them first?"

"No, the temperature will drop in four months. I'm afraid you are even more short of fuel than we are." Annan changed the subject and said, "It's okay. You can buy it on credit first."

It's such a big kingdom, they won't default on their debts.

In the eyes of the eldest prince, this trust is no less than the previous helping hand.

The time of the portal was about to end, and Annan called Francois and asked him to go to the capital of the kingdom and work with Joan to cooperate with the prince in compiling a list of supplies they needed.

"Sir Annan, you are a friend of the kingdom." Finally, the eldest prince saluted Annan.

Annan smiled and said, "I like making friends."

After the portal completely dissipated, Annan asked Olmedo, "Why did you ask me if there was any coal?"

“Do you think all the steaming food grows on the shelves?”

In order to cooperate with the Druids, Annan made many compromises, such as prohibiting the random felling of trees. After the firewood was restricted, the people could only use coal instead of fire to cook.

But compared to firewood, which is available everywhere, coal is too hard to find. Relying on imports? Even using merchant ships to transport fuel is not enough.

Exploration parties in the Forest Mountains found some small mineral veins, but the most needed gold and coal were nowhere to be found.

Apart from adding a piece of knowledge to the school textbooks: "In ancient times, the Gem Bay on the northern shore of the Obilis Strait was not rich in plants", no help was provided.

Fortunately, there is no need to burn firewood for heating... No, it is also needed for heating.

The radiation range of the Mage Tower is limited to the floating range of Free City, but there are still a large number of new residents outside. When winter comes, we can't let them suffer from hunger and cold in the winter, right?
Olmedo suggested, “Perhaps we could source some firewood from our neighbors?”

"And then people will laugh at me for being stupid?"

Olmedo wanted to say that they would not laugh at him, but he saw Annan suddenly look enlightened.

"You have an idea?"

"Well, if you need coal, why not ask the dwarves?" Annan realized that he was putting the cart before the horse.

Coal mines are waste materials that dwarves even disdain to mine, and they can get a large amount of them for very little money.

Moreover, he also had alcohol, a powerful weapon against dwarves.

The only problem is that Harvey Stoneskull's dwarf kingdom is a little far from Free City... about two Wilhelms away.

So what should we do about the fire-making problem during this period? We can’t have a small fire element hidden in every stove, right?

Then Annan suddenly realized that he had once again sacrificed the essence for the sake of the end...

Everyone has thought of letting the fire element go to the stove, so why don’t you think of using magic power to make fire?
What better energy source is there than magic, which is everywhere?

It can even extend to other fields. Why do I have to reproduce technology from scratch instead of changing it to the appearance of this world? The otherworldly tree can replace mobile phones, magic lamps can replace electric lights... why can't the steam engine work?
Magic steam engine... Magic airship... Magic rifle...

Oh, great element of magic, praise Misgema! When Olmedo looked at the excited Annan in confusion, the words of the old man in his dream emerged in his mind.

"This is your way..."

……

When Francois arrived at the Kingdom of Dimont, he showed the long-lost picky nature of the "shameless baron".

Led by the eldest prince, he toured the kingdom's capital, where he was met with comments such as the city walls were too low, the city defenses were too weak, the warehouses were too empty, and there were too few soldiers.

The officials who followed him looked at the young man around the eldest prince in surprise as he made comments. His Highness accepted the comments humbly and even looked a little happy.

Because the more faults Francois finds, the longer the list becomes.

He didn't know that Francois thought the same. The Kingdom of Dimon was one of the three kingdoms that jointly defended the Snow Mountain Fortress. Its foundation and strength were stronger than the Kingdom of Recan. It had city walls, mage towers, guards, and mage corps.

If the enemy wasn't so difficult, they wouldn't have lowered their posture like this.

Although it was also because Liberty City killed Rekanel.

But how do you sell concrete, magic artillery, and cargo without exaggerating the problem?
After turning around, Francois said, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of the magic musket?"

……

On June 1002, in the Saint Laurent calendar, the purchase order from the Kingdom of Dimon was delivered to the City Lord's Mansion.

Food, refined iron, magic materials... In addition to these regular supplies, there are also 10 knight golems.

No one's money comes from the wind. The Kingdom of Dimon will first purchase 10 machines to try out. If they don't work well, it can be regarded as a way to repay Liberty City for its help.

Annan thought about it and realized that the Kingdom of Dimon had extensive experience in dealing with demons, but not necessarily with ratmen, otherwise they would not have suffered so badly from the plague last year.

So he asked Young Master Dumbledore to lower the arms of the knight golem sent to the Kingdom of Damon, making sure that he could sweep at the ratman's head or waist when he raised his hands.

In addition, there were ten magic muskets on the purchase list.

"Why is this so?"

Francois's point is to try it first, which makes sense.

In any case, Liberty City can actually stand on equal footing with an old power like the Dimon Kingdom...Annan inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility.

Then, three days later, on June 100, which was the day after Liberty City sent the supplies to the Kingdom of Damon, the kingdom sent another list. The quantities of other supplies did not change much, except that the knight golems, magic cannons, and magic muskets were 1000, 10000, and respectively.

Annan was overwhelmed by this huge order.

"The kingdom has so much money?"

"You allow them to buy on credit, don't you?"

"Yes, but why do you need so much..."

Olmedo answered their mentality: "If the kingdom can stop the enemy, the money owed can be paid back slowly. If it fails... there is no need to worry about the money owed."

"Then next!"

Ingrid took the list and went to prepare. Everything else was fine, but the production capacity of the Golem Factory and the Blacksmith Shop was suddenly insufficient.

Fortunately, there is still a rainy season before the autumn harvest, so they have enough time to finish the work.
