Alien world

Chapter 1223 Chapter 145. The End
Not all farmers are lucky enough to go to school.

There are 30,000 farmers in Liberty City, but the School of Life can accommodate a maximum of 1,000 students, and space must be reserved for others.

Hunter was the lucky one who was chosen, but Jack was eliminated.

In order to save face, Jack said that he was not selected because he didn't want to go.

"You're right," agreed the official who came to pick up Hunter.

This surprised Jack more than saying he wasn't as good as Hunter.

"You mean silly Hunter is willing to learn!?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask him?" the good-natured official shrugged.

Jack squinted at Hunter, who was grinning innocently, and asked, "You? Can you read?"

"Lord Annan will not harm me!"

Hunter has the same simple idea as most people in Liberty City: what Annan asks them to do must be for their own good.

"You're still so stupid!" Jack screamed.

But when Hunter followed the officials away, Jack looked at their backs in despair, as if he had lost something...

Although the cottage was dull in the past, at least Hunter was willing to listen to me chattering and never refuted me no matter how much I chattered. But after he left, the house fell into complete silence.

Compared with physical loneliness, Jack's psychological loneliness is even worse.

He was afraid that Hunter, who was as dull as a cow, would be bullied by others in the academy, but he was even more afraid that Hunter would really take the opportunity to stand out... If Hunter really made a name for himself... that would be more painful than killing him!
After finally making it to the evening, Jack, who had been leaning against the door and looking towards Liberty City all day, finally saw Hunter coming back in the sunset.

"What have you learned? You didn't really read it word for word, did you?" Jack crossed his arms and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"I don't want to say." Hunter said expressionlessly.

"I know, you must be too tired." Jack was slightly startled, and changed his tone to speak to Hunter: "Damn school, it actually made you so tired after working the fields for three consecutive days!"

"Jack," he said, "there's a wall between us."

"you……"

Jack suddenly had a feeling that he was about to lose Hunter...

"I cooked for you. You haven't eaten yet?" Jack forced a smile and ran to the stove to open the lid of the pot. "I know you must be hungry, so I made two more pieces of bread..."

Hunter walked to his bed, dragged out the wooden box under the bed, took out the clothes one by one, and said, "I won't be back in the future. The college has arranged a dormitory for us in the city."

bang-

The pot lid in Jack's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His first thought was what to do with the farmland. If it was divided according to contribution, he should be able to get one hectare...half?
How much is that?

Jack couldn't figure it out for the moment, but he knew it would definitely make him penniless...

He can't live without Hunter, just like Rose can't live without Jack!

While Jack was still thinking about how to keep Hunter, he turned around and said, "What are you still standing there for?"

"what?"

"I told my mentor that I had a brother, and he said he could take him over to live with me."

“Hunter…”

Jack's lips were trembling. It would be a lie to say he wasn't touched. If he were a woman, she would definitely marry him!
"What about our land?"

Hunter looked down at him, and that look made him feel familiar - there was a time when he always looked at Hunter with that expression.

"We don't have to farm in the winter, so of course we put it here."

……

After a few days of enrollment, the new school has enrolled nearly half of the new students.

The remaining vacancies are concentrated in the three major colleges - after all, there are few people with professional talents, and even fewer in the Free City composed of civilians and refugees.

Annan did not force the group to join, as he understood the principle of better having too few than too few.

At this time, he noticed that his eldest sister frowned gracefully.

"what happened?"

Idilia handed the report to Annan, who first saw a line of numbers in red: 10283. This month, Liberty City's fiscal expenditure exceeded gold coins for the first time.

This was a drop in the bucket compared to their income, but it was enough to make Idilia alert.

A territory with only 300,000 people costs 10,000 gold coins?
Idilia knocked on the table and asked Abby outside the door to go to Ingrid's office to find the financial statements.

After it was delivered, she took the financial statement and compared it with the purchase list one by one.

The new school alone cost almost K1700, followed by K1400 for the purchase of iron ore and the construction of the railway.

There are also expenses for city defense construction and the punishment corps’ suppression of bandits outside.

These are all necessities, and every amount can be matched.

It looks like Liberty City doesn't need to worry about corruption for the time being.

Idilia asked Abby to take back the financial statements and looked at Annan with emotion: "This is all thanks to you..."

"what?"

Annan, who was dozing on the sofa, scratched his head: "Hey, I'm not that good..."

Da da da--

The cold, hard sound of hard-soled boots suitable for field combat stepping on wooden floors came from outside the corridor. Idyllia raised her head and saw the Free City Messenger appear outside the door.

"Mr. Deputy City Lord, there is a letter from the north."

The messenger didn't notice Annan on the sofa and walked to the table.

Annan saw that the envelope in his hand was stamped with a unique emblem: it was the emblem of the Kingdom of Dimon.

More specifically, it is the family emblem of Grand Marshal Galkin.

Information about the Dimon Kingdom...

A few days ago, he had just delivered about 30,000 tons of grain from the autumn harvest to the capital of the Kingdom of Dimon. Could the letter he sent at this time be to thank him... ?
Annan sat up and looked at his elder sister who opened the envelope with an expression even more solemn than before.

"Brother, take a look at this."

Annan walked to the table and took the letter. There was only one line of words on the letter: The rat people suddenly launched an attack.

The less content there is, the bigger the problem.

Sure enough, the MacEwan rats attacked in the fall.

In fact, it was not sudden. There were signs before this, and it is difficult for the rat people to hide what they want to do.

The message conveyed is too simple, at least you can say more...

Annan shook the paper and held it under the sunlight to make sure there were no interlayers or hidden contents.

"Is your rat-man confidant still in the city?" the eldest sister asked him.

"Gail? I'll ask her to ask the tribe later."

Annan said, suddenly hearing some noise and looking outside the door.

Evelin poked her head out of the door: “Big news?”

Annan threw the letter over.

"Well, prepare to publish it."

There is a proverb in Liberty City.

If Evelyn knew, everyone would know.

This is both a compliment to Evelyn for being well-informed and a compliment to the wide spread of The Voice of Freedom.

Later that day after Annan chose to announce the news, the commanders of the six major legions except Ilimayas gathered in the city lord's mansion and expressed their desire to fight the ratmen.

The young warriors were eager to establish merit.

"Wait a little longer..." was all Annan could say to them.

After all, one side of merit is glory, and the other side is sacrifice... He promised to bring beauty and happiness to everyone.
