Alien world

Chapter 147 1. Star Moon Bay

Glacier Bay, a place name that sounds like it makes people want to wear more clothes, and makes old Zuolen's lame leg and rheumatism relapse.

The sandy beach here is dark and rough, the sea water is icy cold, the sea breeze is humid and noisy, and the forest and sea are endless. Except for adventurers and lost travelers, no one will come here.

But just as the ogre thought of their future the moment they saw Annan - referring to how to cook.

When Annan saw Glacier Bay, a beautiful town was built along the bay in his mind.When night falls, these houses are lit with warm lights, reflecting on the sea and echoing the starry sky.Fall asleep under the lullaby of soothing waves.In winter, the house is covered with thick snow, the smoke rises from the kitchen, and the night sky echoes with the barking of kobolds...

As for the wet seaside, the severe cold in the north, and the approaching winter... This is a magical world, and it is even possible to build a floating island that will never fall——

But it's not something Annan can afford.Even if "The Fall of the Mage's Tower" has ignited Breeze City, thousands of people empty the streets, and even abandoning the income of the nobles to buy the Philosopher's Stone, there are thousands of gold coins in income just counting the tickets-even the resource consumption to maintain a floating island floating for a month is not enough.

Withdrawing his divergent thinking, Annan looked at this future territory.The name of Glacier Bay is derived from the melting glaciers of snow mountains and the crescent-shaped bay about eight or nine miles long.

The north is where the glacier is, but the river will be frozen in winter, and the opposite side of the river is a lush forest.To the south is a headland, where a watchtower or lighthouse is built, and you can jump over the sea of ​​trees to look at the surrounding movement for dozens of miles, and further south is still a lush forest.To the east...is still a lush forest.

The nearest city is Breeze City, which is nearly a thousand miles away, followed by Betal City, which is about 1300 miles away, and Fengrao City, which is 1700 miles away.

The real hope of Glacier Bay lies in the bay in front of Annan—both Augusta and Olmedo hope that Annan can build a port in Glacier Bay. The only port in the north of the Lun mainland.

But it is too early to talk about the port, Annan must first gain a firm foothold here.

Primarily the citizens:
There are three forests in Glacier Bay, one to the north, one to the south, and one to the east.

To put it bluntly, Glacier Bay, surrounded by forests on three sides, has a lot of timber resources.To put it bluntly, there are few people here. The nearest intelligent group is the gnoll, followed by the kobold, and then the goblin orc druid elf.

Building villages and food sources are not a problem.The ogre eats so many people in vain without building a dwelling in a day... the sweets they make.Forests are cleared to create farmland, and the seas are plentiful with fish.

In order to prove this point, Annan first asked the ogre to tear down a few trees to build a wooden house, and chose it on the headland with the best view to the south, and then entrusted the special envoy knight to circle the territory of Glacier Bay with the bay as the center—because of this trip Annan Only with ogres and orcs.

The failure to return made the Ratmen completely withdraw from the north. At least this winter, the kingdom's northern border was quiet.

Moreover, the tower spirit gave Annan an amulet, which was used to summon the epic mage of the mage tower once when he was in danger.

So Annan rushed to Glacier Bay on the afternoon of the third day after coming out of the ruins of the old mage tower.

Before the envoy knight returned, the ogre completed the "building" made of logs.Annan picked up a branch, stretched his arms and stood on tiptoe, but still couldn't reach the door frame...

Calling it a barn would be an understatement, but there's room for hundreds of ratmen.

Well, anyway, it will be demolished when the territory is officially built.

After inspecting the big house, Annan ran to the beach. The ogre asked the orcs to prepare bonfires and prey, followed Annan, and left a deep pit footprint beside a line of footprints.

The gravel in Glacier Bay is rough, but fortunately there are no broken shells.Annan found many oysters along the coastline around the reef under the headland.No predators made them big and fat, each about the size of a palm.

Annan couldn't free his hands after knocking down a few pieces, so he asked the ogre to help him to knock out a dozen oysters on a reef before returning to the headland.

Annan summoned the elemental in front of the unlit bonfire, and a large water elemental emerged.

Not a fire elemental, but it's okay.Annan stuffed all the oysters into the body of the water element, let it help clean the oysters and the hares caught by the orcs, and borrowed flint from the orcs to light the bonfire.

The two special envoy knights returned in the evening, and the scope of Glacier Bay was officially recorded in the development order as [-] miles in diameter with the bay as the diameter, which was close to the actual control area of ​​Breeze City.

So strictly speaking, the distance from the easternmost point of Glacier Bay to the westernmost point of Breeze City is less than 700 miles.

"Lord Annan Reeves, do you want to keep the name of Glacier Bay or name it differently?"

Annan looked at the ogre hesitantly.

"The Howler and I would only suggest you call Ogre Bay and Orc Bay," it said.

Annan tried to draw inspiration from his surroundings.When he saw the dusk disappearing on the sea, and the moon and stars were reflected on the calm sea, he thought about what to call this place.

"Then Xingyue Bay."

"Is this your love to the elf?"

"what?"

"Stars, moons, flowers, elves love such poetic names."

"It's just a coincidence."

But it would be nice if it could attract elves to come here...

The special envoy knight wrote Xingyue Bay on the development order, representing Annan officially becoming the lord of this land.

Annan's eyes rippled, as if an invisible sense of belonging appeared on him, deepening his connection with this land.

The bonfire crackled, and Annan put the cleaned oysters on the hot rocks beside the bonfire.

The envoy knight returned to rest beside the dragon blood horse, and did not participate in Annan's campfire dinner.

Annan sat in front of the big log house, and the ogre sitting down resisted the night wind.The weather is getting colder day by day, but fortunately there are bright bonfires and delicious oysters and rabbit meat to warm people's hearts.

The howler talked about its hometown, because of the hunting and occupation of humans, the living range of orcs has become less and less.

"I have seen the most noble orcs, and I have also seen the most despicable humans..." Annan comforted the orcs.

"You are discriminating against orcs. You subconsciously think that humans are nobler and orcs are more despicable."

But Howler admitted before Annan explained: "But yes, we orcs are rude and barbaric, so I left the clan and became a mercenary."

"In order to eliminate these prejudices?"

"To get rid of people with these prejudices."

"So what about your story?" Annan looked at the ogre again.

"I don't want to talk about identity in a beautiful night scene."

"I guess you want to be the first philosopher among the ogres." When Annan picked up the oyster and said, there was a wolf howling in the distant forest.

The beast did not threaten them at all, but the Howler suddenly stood up and said he smelled gnolls.
