Alien world

Chapter 152 6. Annan's Team

On a cold morning that felt like late autumn, Luoxi crawled out of the abandoned kennel, circled around the kennel, squatted and jumped, and warmed up his frozen body.

The sleepy younger brother Xi Luo crawled out of the kennel, nostalgic for the warmth of last night: "Brother, can we bring the house?"

"No... not yet." Losey's tone was a little loose, "Let's go to the square first, and come back if we are not asked."

Luo Xi lifted a stone to block the door of the kennel, and led his younger brother Wei Liang's hand to the square.

He thought he had come early, but many refugees had already gathered in the square.Shot in front of two felt tents.

The refugees went to a yurt to check for lice and ringworm. If there were no diseases and problems, they would be elected as leaders and receive a cotton coat from the yurt next to them to keep out the cold.

The autumn wind that swept yellowing leaves and dust made the two brothers shiver, and crawled into the crowd to resist the cold wind.Relying on their advantage, they squeezed from behind to the front.

"Damn, someone ran away again."

The statistics officer flipped through the list of the previous batches, called out a few names, and crossed out the names if there was no response: "Whatever those idiots... the next... the next one?"

"Here we are!"

An arm from deep behind the tabletop.

The statistics officer had to stand and lean forward to see two malnourished boys, one about twelve or thirteen years old, the other about six or seven.

"You...you can't, you're too young." The two children reminded the statistics officer of his son of the same age, and said with embarrassment.

"Please sir, we will die here..."

"The Lord City Master will not let you die."

But Losey didn't believe it.Their thinking is rather simple - what you see is what you see.Annan gave them three silver coins, so they believed that Annan was good.

"We're definitely not going to run, and we're only eating one meal!"

As a result, there was a sound of echoing behind:

"I'll have a meal too!"

"I don't eat a single meal!"

"We have met Jie... Mr. Annan, he knows us!"

The magician next to him said at this time: "He didn't lie, these two little guys did come into contact with His Excellency Annan."

For the sake of the King in the North, the statistician thought: "Okay, what's your name?"

"I'm Luoxi, he's Xiluo." Luoxi said hastily.

"Brother Xiluo, younger brother Luoxi?"

"I'm Losey, and my brother is Seelo."

"What a mouthful."

The statistics officer hesitated for a while, not letting them take off their clothes in the cold morning, wrote down their names, took out two pieces of paper and handed them to them, and pointed to the felt tent next to them: "Pick out the lice on your body first, and then get the Cotton coat."

"thank you, sir!"

Losey, holding the piece of paper, looked like Jack had received an invitation letter. He took his brother to the felt tent, and then leaned against a corner sheltered from the wind to search for lice in his brother's hair. He couldn't restrain his excitement in his words:

"We don't need to wander anymore! We are the subjects, the subjects of the King of the North!"

"Can we take the house?" But Ciro was still thinking about his kennel.

"We will live in a big house, and we don't need to live in that kind of place anymore!"

"really?"

"Is brother Jack a bad guy?" Losey asked his brother.

Xi Luo shook his head: "He saved Sister Ruth, gave us silver coins, and gave us cotton clothes. He is a good man."

"Yeah, he's not a bad guy, he must be a good guy."

……

City Lord's Mansion, office on the second floor.

Annan and Olmedo look down on the refugees in the square.There are also "prepared leaders" who sneak away holding cotton coats.

Annan didn't stop him. Cotton clothes are not much more expensive than linen clothes now.

"I thought you would directly recruit a thousand citizens." Olmedo asked the guard outside the door to bring two cups of coffee.

"That way I might be in a hurry, start with 500 people, and then increase slowly."

"But we don't have much time."

This was the second time Annan heard Olmedo say, "Are you pessimistic?"

"Are you optimistic?" she asked rhetorically.

"I asked first."

"I'm just seeking truth from facts..." Olmedo replied, "The south couldn't resist the Ratmen's invasion, why can we? By virtue of guarding the demons in the north of the snow-capped mountains? But if the Ratmen really invaded, we would have to face it at the same time." right"

"My answer is, look, it's cold and dark, and there's no hope." The guard brought coffee, and Annan took his cup, looking at the dawn that just emerged behind the eastern roof, "but the sun is rising ..."

"He who remembers hatred also lives hatred. If life gives you lemons, make it lemonade."

"What's a lemon?"

"A very sour fruit."

"Your example can be replaced by life giving you coffee beans, just make coffee out of it."

Annan's explanation helped Olmedo relieve a lot of anxiety.

Olmedo's sense of security and pessimism stems from her father's departure. She used to have Augusta to rely on, but now she only has herself, and...

"When will the northern border freeze?"

Annan's question brought Olmedo back to his senses, and he thought for a while and said, "In previous years, it would be at the end of October or early November."

"It seems that I have to buy a batch of clothes to keep out the cold...Jeffrey..."

"...you can still call me Olmedo, what's the matter?"

"I can't manage it alone."

"What about Michael and the others?"

"They still have to stay in Breeze City, only Francois will go to Xingyue Bay with me."

Olmedo said that her assistant would go over to assist Annan for a while.

The admission of refugees will last at least until the morning, and Annan first invites Tina Wright to join Xingyue Bay.

Tina hugged her chest: "What do you want to do?"

"I just think this cooperation is quite pleasant."

Tina Wright did not agree, and Annan ran to the headquarters of the scavenger again.

"Your magic image is beautiful, but why is there no scavenger?" the centurion asked jokingly.

Annan euphemistically said that the scavenger was part of the cut-in fact, he was trying to persuade others with "Look, even the scavenger has joined. Are you going to miss the opportunity?"

Then there are the spinning mills.

Annan told the female workers that they could bring their families, some of the female workers agreed to go to Xingyue Bay, and most of the rest stayed in Breeze City.

The goblins all chose to follow Annan.

"We're taking part in the legendary revival of the King in the North!" said Dole.

There was an episode during the period, and the old Zuolun would also follow him, at his own expense.Seeing that he is a scavenger patrol and knows Aunt Susan's family, Annan agreed to him.

Finally, when they returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the list sent by the statistical officials was very small, only 268 people.Many refugees ran away after receiving the cotton-padded clothes. Even including the people brought back by Annan, there were only 300 people.

However, Olmedo promised to continue to accept refugees.

On the eve of departure, Annan summoned the blue dragon and tried to send an invitation.

"I will build you a beautiful lair made of gems and gold in Xingyue Bay."

Blue Dragon did not agree to Annan, but its attitude was not so firm.Annan felt that as long as he persevered, Xingyue Bay would soon have a blue dragon lair.
