Alien world

Chapter 135. 134. The territory delivered to the door
"Instructor Yrilanzer..."

"You can call me Iranan."

"Mr. Yi Ruilan, your breasts are too exaggerated... Ruth should be eighty or ninety years old at this time, not eighteen or nineteen..."

"My Annan, even if the elves are nine hundred years old."

"But have you forgotten? Ruth is only human."

"Maybe she has elven blood?"

"She has no elven blood, no sacred artifacts to prolong life, no spells of eternal youth, not a long-lived species, just an ordinary old man." Annan thought for a while and said, "Do you know Augusta Olmedo? ?”

"I saw him at the dinner party of the City Lord's Mansion three years ago."

"You can pretend to be like that, but maintain feminine characteristics."

The transfiguration attainment of the elf teacher is no lower than that of the master. When those blue eyes looked at him with vicissitudes, Annan almost thought that the real Augusta Olmedo had appeared, but fortunately, the still chest dissuaded him. Surprised.

At this time, a figure got into the felt tent, and was stopped by the scene in front of him.

"...I heard that your mother passed away a long time ago, so I want to surprise you." Annan said to Olmedo who came to visit suddenly.

"My mother and father don't look alike..." Olmedo looked at the elf teacher, and asked hesitantly, "Master Yrilanzer?"

"Hello, young city lord."

The elf's elegant voice made Olmedo's expression a little subtle.

"Yirilan, you go to Betty and Evelyn to discuss the image first." Annan and Olmedo heaved a sigh of relief at the same time when the wizard teacher left.

"How did you know that today is my mother's birthday?"

"Well...Martin told me."

Olmedo asked more before Annan said: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Have you heard?"

Annan shook his head as he asked for no reason: "I've been in the Mage Tower recently, and I haven't gone anywhere."

Olmedo told Annan that ratmen appeared frequently around Breeze City.They were few in number but densely packed—thousands of skaven were scattered in the vast forest outside Breeze City, harassing caravans and farmland.

The city guards were struggling to deal with it, and offering rewards in the bounty hall had little effect, because only slave rats and ordinary ratmen wandered outside Breeze City, and the rewards offered by the City Lord's Mansion were hard to interest the mercenaries.

"What's the bounty now?"

"50 copper coins for a rat man's left ear."

Not as much as Martin's weekly salary at the Dawn Tavern.

"Why so few?"

Olmedo said that because of a historical event—a city-state in the south was once plagued by rats, the city lord at that time offered a reward of 10 silver coins for each ratman's ear to the professionals who hunted the ratmen. People's ears are piled up into mountains, and it is said that three years of finances have been spent directly.But the city lord soon discovered that the ratmen outside the city not only did not decrease, but there were many more ratmen without left ears...

With the reproduction speed of the Ratmen, it would be a disadvantage to exchange one professional for a hundred Ratmen, but a hundred Ratmen can definitely fight against ten professionals.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Olmedo asked sincerely.

"Try to find a scavenger? They know what to do with those rats."

"I think so too. Also, what do you think of Glacier Bay?"

"I don't understand you."

"As your territory."

This is the third time Olmedo mentioned the territory, and Annan frowned slightly: "Did your father tell you to do this?"

"It is indeed my father's suggestion, but I also think so. Annan, you are gradually becoming an excellent lord. Maybe you don't realize this yourself. I think you can help me."

The last time Annan heard similar words was when the centurion said that he was a "standard warlock".

Olmedo said that there is no seaport at the northernmost tip of the kingdom, and all the supplies in Breeze City are transported by land, and it is not surprising that anything happens during the thousands of miles, just like the joke Annan heard in the Morrowind Tavern—a The caravan from the south to Breeze City was exploited through the vampire kingdom, plundered by orcs in the swamp of Faerun, and escaped from the hunt of the ratmen in the Black Forest Highlands.After repelling the endless stream of alien races, a group of bandits appeared when they approached Breeze City. The leader of the caravan scolded them: A group of humans also fucking robbed me?
Fortunately, the forests and seas around Breeze City are relatively rich in products, and the devil iron on the Snow Mountain Fortress is a scarce resource, which can also attract caravans. Otherwise, why would the profit-minded merchants take the risk of going to Breeze City to receive goods?

Annan realized Olmedo's "conspiracy" at this moment: "So you actually want me to build a seaport near Breeze City at my own expense to make it easier for supplies to come in and out?"

"We can all see the business opportunities contained in the magic image. Don't you think it's a pity that it can't be spread to the south?" Olmedo continued to seduce Annan, "And you have only one port in the north of the kingdom. After it is completed, maybe Breeze City Only some soup."

"I need to think about it."

……

"When a person owns a village, he will devote himself to the development of the village. He will strengthen the walls because he is worried about alien attacks, he will store food because he is worried about disasters, and he will increase revenue and reduce expenditure because of lack of taxes..."

When Annan talked about it with Michael and Bronzebeard, Michael read a long poem.

"The bard taught you these words?"

"I read it from a certain book." Michael didn't mention the name of the book, "Why didn't you agree to him? You can't always pretend to be the king of the North. Annan, you need your real identity."

"Wouldn't leaving Breeze City at this time give the Ratman a chance to hate Annan?" Francois held the opposite view.

Annan also thought so, so he did not agree to Olmedo.

But Glacier Bay is indeed a suitable territory.It got its name from the crystal clear snow water after the snow mountain melted. Because of the cold, there are no sea creatures in the sea, at most there are some sea monsters, but they usually don't come close to the coast.

Land is a little more complicated.There are races such as giants, white dragons, and crypt dwarves in the snow-capped mountains and forests in the north, while the south is the territory of druids, orcs, and elves. Moreover, because Glacier Bay has not been reclaimed, manpower and money are needed to build villages and cultivate farmland.

A territory of its own...

Well, Annan was indeed a little moved.

After all, as a warlock who can only cast summoning spells, Annan has made too much money and doesn't know how to spend it-after "The Fall of the Mage Tower" is released, it can be expected that there will be more happy troubles.

A bottomless territory that requires an infinite investment of money is a really good idea.

Temporarily letting go of his enthusiasm for the territory, Annan completed the "real part" before evening, and completed the illusion part with Tina Wright as if he was building sand sculptures on the beach. The filming of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" officially ended.

Now it's just a matter of editing the magical images into a complete story.

After half a month of busy work, it's time to go back to the manor.Annan thought.
