Alien world

Chapter 158 12. New Territories

The dissipated rift ended Annan and Olmedo's brief reunion.

Annan plans to invite Olmedo to Xingyue Bay as a guest next time. As for why it is next time...

"Ingrid, let the artisans meet at the lord's mansion." Annan passed the ugly wooden house that shamed him, and returned to the city lord's "mansion".

The prissy craftsmen came later, and the ogre's foresight made the big house not seem crowded at all.

"I welcome everyone on behalf of Xingyue Bay." Annan delivered a speech according to the etiquette, but it didn't take long. "You have seen the situation in Xingyue Bay...do you have any ideas?"

The craftsmen hesitated, and a speculator stood up at this moment: "I have never seen such a unique house, like being in a dream, full of innocence and art... The whole territory is integrated with nature—"

Most craftsmen are shameless, and a few craftsmen regret that they are slower.

Annan was thoughtful: "You think it's not bad?"

"It's a work of art," said the artisan with the dainty goatee flatteringly.

"What's your name?"

"Groso, my lord!"

Annan said to the captain of the guard outside the door: "Kick Grosso out of the ranks of craftsmen who design houses, and give him an ax to cut trees."

The pale-faced goatee craftsman was taken out of the big house, and Annan looked around at the silent craftsman.

"I don't want to listen to flattery and exaggerated praise. It was late autumn when I came to Xingyue Bay, because it was too late to build beautiful and practical houses, so let the residents build houses freely first."

Annan first shirked the responsibility, and then said: "I invite you to build beautiful houses for Xingyue Bay. If you can't do it, it's okay. Xingyue Bay is full of places to employ people."

Do you mean someone cut down a tree?

Grosso's tragedy is vivid, and the craftsmen certainly will not refuse.

Mansions of lords, houses, blacksmith shops, warehouses, shops, latrines, piers, walls... There are many types of buildings that need to be built,

The highest priority is the lord's mansion, the dock and the wall, but Annan erased the lord's mansion and put the priority of the road at the top.

Not only because Annan lived in this big log house quite comfortably, but they had to pave the road or roadbed before the soil was frozen, otherwise the whole camp would be turned into a muddy ground when it melted next year.

Nothing is more suitable for paving roads than cement. Even Breeze City is dominated by stone roads, and the rest are dirt roads. During the rainy season, it becomes a sludge puddle that emits stench and breeds germs.

Annan is going to let a five-member team search for limestone along the coast. As for the need for some slag and things that Annan can't remember... He plans to find them and hand them over to Michael for development—Mages usually dabble in potions and alchemy, as we all know , Alchemy can be understood as changing substances, so cement is also an alchemy material.

As for the price of alchemy... Although the income of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has tended to stagnate, the theater and several other screening venues now only have two to three hundred gold coins per day, but the total income has exceeded [-] gold coins.

It is said that at the meeting of the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, Olmedo presented data that silenced the councilors and nobles - 6% of Breeze City's tax revenue this year was contributed by Annan.In other words, it was contributed by the "Fall of the Mage Tower".

It’s not that no one tried to imitate. Those with a flexible mind imitated after seeing “The Mage’s Tower Has Fallen”, such as directly copying “The Mage’s Tower Has Fallen”, “The Mage’s Tower Has Fallen”, and “Jack Ruth’s One Night Sex”. They put those well-known stage plays and epic stories into magic images, but they don't know what lens language, storyboarding technology, montage, or even editing is.

The shoddy production made the theater owner refuse to show it, and Annan was not interested in knowing about his competitors.

And because the ticket price of 1 silver coin and the audience are not many, it has lost a lot.Had to raise the price——

10 silver coins?Then why don't they watch "The Fall of the Mage Tower" ten times?
The guy who didn't want to bear the record Philosopher's Stone that can only be used ten times ran to ask the price of the Eternal Philosopher's Stone——

1000 gold coins?

Then why don't they buy cotton?
And speaking of cotton, the "Susan Spinning Machine" made by the King of the North is responsible for skyrocketing cotton prices, making cotton coats affordable for the damned poor.

After a few 10 minutes of discussion, Annan and the craftsmen finalized the plan for Xingyue Bay.The building is mainly made of stone and supported by wood.

Annan had a special liking for the sloping roof buildings of the Breeze City style, and it was also suitable for the snowfall in the winter in the Northland.

They had a long winter to finish the work.

After handing over this matter to Francois, Annan looked at Ingrid who stayed behind: "Tell me about Gema Diatra."

The Diatra family is in Betal City, except that Gema Diatra, who is known to Annan, is the second son of the family. This Gema seldom leaves the family, and has never even left Beitar City.

Gema Diatra is described by others as a gentle and approachable nobleman.

Annan couldn't combine this word with the face that deserved to be beaten, so Olmedo was also puzzled when he learned of Gema Diatra's performance in Xingyue Bay.

"Is he an elite mage?"

"Gemma is just an ordinary person."

Annan recalled the few low-level spells that night on the cape... Gema Diatra hid the identity of the mage?
A second son who had never been out of the city and hid his identity as a spellcaster, suddenly left the family, provoked a king of the North with a high profile, demanded his territory in vain, and then opened up territories nearby... What does he want to do?
"It will never be the unwelcome second son who awakens as a spellcaster because of the soul hidden in the magic ring. After the family suffers humiliation, he will leave for 30 years in the east of Planny and 30 years in the west of Planny River. The guide came to Xingyue Bay, which has precious resources, but found that it was already occupied by people, so they had to snatch the territory."

Annan thought irresponsibly.

Maybe even a girl, Augusta could hide Olmedo's identity for 20 years, and so could the Diatra family.

"30 Years Planey East...?"

""Breaking the Sky" is also my work."

"I'll find a chance to read it." Ingrid nodded.

In any case, Annan must be prepared.Gema's "Snow Mountain Port" is very close to Xingyue Bay, so close that it only takes one morning for cavalry to arrive by surprise, and it only takes one day for trucks.

Ingrid left the big house, and there were new people to make arrangements for.Annan looked out the window and saw the fire arrows in the orange-red dusk coming from the east.

The leader of Ossurond finally wrote back:
[Bad Annan, smelly Annan:

you are done!Eldest sister is angry, she stopped me from replying, you shouldn’t hide it from your family, elder sister is very sad and I am also disappointed, but now only I can help you, please say something to comfort elder sister, she likes to talk about violets long poem!
Also, Xingyue Bay?Have you been deceived by a stinky elf woman! 】

Annan read it many times, and wrote a reply after careful consideration.
