Alien world

Chapter 150 4. Excellent Lord Guide
"Wait a minute."

Olmedo called out to Annan who was about to run away: "You ran to the Santo's Mansion from the people of Breeze City and didn't say why."

Annan suppressed his fear of the elf mentor: "I need money and people."

"what?"

"I need aid and people."

"Your 'magic image' earns almost a month's tax revenue in Breeze City these days. Just now I was discussing with the tax collectors about the bill on taxing magic images..."

"taxation……"

Just the noun makes Annan heartache.

"This is a necessary part, Annan, you don't want magic images to be heavily taxed in other towns, do you? We'd better finalize the taxation bill in Breeze City and send it to the royal capital. The towns and cities in the whole kingdom can only established tax rates."

"What is the tax rate?"

"The basic tax rate for theaters is a low tax of 10% to 20%, and magic images are among them."

Still within the range accepted by Annan.

"So you should help me even more."

Annan recounted that he was involved in the conspiracy, such as "locked into a dungeon", "forced to kill five ratmen independently", "cracked up the ratman's conspiracy", etc.——

Building a territory is a bottomless pit... 100 gold coins can open up a village, 1000 gold coins can build a small town, [-] gold coins can make a town impenetrable, [-] million gold coins can build a city, or add more money to build a small mage tower, [-] million gold coins can be considered to raise a basic floating island.

There are only a handful of ways Annan can make money, and he needs as many money as Ganges sands.

Although it is a bit shameless to say it directly, it is not shameful to ask for money.

"I was also corrupted into a rat man by your father..."

"Didn't the Mage Tower say that the special spell just let your charm affect the Ratmen?"

"But my mind has been affected by spells so far..."

"I remember that you used to be like this, always thinking about the Countess—"

"How do you insult the innocence of the King in the North?"

Olmedo likes to chat with Annan like this, but she still has business to do: "I don't know the situation in Glacier Bay yet, please tell me about it first."

As soon as Annan was talking about Xingyue Bay, Olmedo interrupted him: "Xingyue Bay...you really don't like Yirulanze?"

"You and the ogre must have something in common."

Annan continued to talk about the situation and territory of Xingyue Bay, as well as the dangers encountered:
"The battle between the white dragon that covers the sky and the frost giant caused an avalanche, and Dagon, several miles long, surged across the sea, and the gnolls in the forest swarmed like rats, and indescribable existences awaited me when I slept... "

The two who were traveling with Annan were on their way back to the capital, and the other two were subordinates, and no one could expose him.

It's just that Olmedo couldn't be fooled: "Shall I ask my personal guard to go to Xingyue Bay with you?"

"..."

"It's too late to reveal the truth now."

"Well, it's actually the fox that's hunting the snow hare."

"Where's Dagon?"

"A fat school of fish." Annan gradually sank into the sofa.

"Gnoll?"

Annan raised his head again, and said loudly: "We encountered a group of wolf man scouts at night, and they have a leader."

"Waiting for you to fall asleep?"

Annan leaned back on the sofa again: "We left Xingyue Bay overnight."

Olmedo sorted out the environment around Xingyue Bay: "The main threat is the wolf man, but there should be other threats to the north and south..." How deep is the bay? "

"I don't know, because we left Xingyue Bay overnight."

Olmedo never let go of the aid, so Annan had no choice but to shift his target to the people.This time Olmedo is quite generous: as long as the people of Breeze City are willing, he can recruit citizens at will.

"How about those refugees?" Olmedo asked suddenly.

If Annan is willing to accept refugees, he can give 1 Jinnar for each refugee he accepts...

"I think so too..." The soft cushion made Annan feel a little bored, "But I don't want to absorb refugees who have committed crimes."

"Don't worry, most of these refugees are homeless people whose homes and farmlands were destroyed by the Ratmen." A sense of identity appeared in the blue eyes, "Annan, every time you recruit a refugee, Breeze City can support you." Xingyue Bay 2 Jinnar."

When it comes to aiding Annan, he will not be troubled: "Then I will first ask for a thousand refugees."

"Are you sure?"

"……I'm not sure."

Annan's advantage is that he does not lack money for the time being, but his disadvantage is that he does not know how to be a lord.

"Actually, I'm not denying you, but I think these people are far from enough."

Maybe it was alarmist talk, maybe it was to create a sense of crisis, Olmedo told Annan solemnly: "This winter is the last time for you and me."

Olmedo's seriousness infected Annan: "What do you know?"

"It's just some disturbing speculation... The northern border has been safe and sound for hundreds of years, but their sudden attack also exposed hundreds of years of conspiracy under the city of Breeze."

"The Ratmen may invade in a big way next year, Annan, do you want to experience another attack?"

"I don't want to experience that kind of thing a second time."

"So you have to manage your own territory well."

Annan thought of the two-month countdown to the apocalypse forecast.It was winter at that time, and it was unlikely that the Ratmen would attack... what could it be?
Olmedo summoned his personal guards and asked him to move his afternoon duties to night, and began to teach Annan how to be an excellent lord:
Xingyue Bay first needs to prospect for resources.

Gem mines, potion fields and some rare minerals are the best, followed by gold mines and specialty products.Then there is the construction territory.Guaranteeing the survival of the people is the most basic step, followed by attracting professionals and churches.

"You'd better invite some churches to settle in. This will allow the territory to be protected by the gods. The Goddess of Wealth is a good neutral deity."

The harsh environment and sparse population made many gods reluctant to focus on the northern border, and there were only some mainstream and ancient gods, but it also prevented the north from the frequent battles of gods in the south to compete for believers.

about business.Xingyue Bay is as remote as Breeze City, but the bay makes up for the shortcomings-the bad news is that it takes a lot of money to build a harbor, and the good news is that Annan has a lot of money.

Annan, who was drowsy, said: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

Olmedo's eyes drooped slightly because of Annan's emotion:

"As a lord, we must be responsible for the territory and the people..."

It was found that Annan had fallen asleep at some point.

Thinking of the boy in front of me who was on the road for four out of five days.Those blue eyes softened a bit, and she was holding a blanket to cover Annan's body.

"Olmedo, you are so tight..." Annan murmured dreamily.

Olmedo froze as if frozen.

"You are so nervous about the money in Breeze City..."
