Alien world

Chapter 172 26. Let go of imagination
The area around the bay has changed from a snow forest to a vast snow field, and the spacious and straight streets are lined with exquisite but not rigid new houses, with sloping roofs covered with the thin snow that fell last night.

Children play on the frozen sea in the warmest part of the day, and adults in the distance open up territories and build houses along the snowy forest.

When spring comes and everything comes back to life, how prosperous this seaside town will be.

Is it too late to ask Andrew Luna for money at this time?
The cavalry wandering around the periphery of Xingyue Bay spotted them, and the captain of the personal guard led a small team towards them.

"Uncle Blom."

"Long time no see, Swain, boys."

Blom greeted him familiarly and told Annan: "He is my nephew."

Annan was not surprised, Blom and Swain looked alike when they stood together.

The carriage drove towards the town, but the beauty seen in the distance was lifted as it approached-the rough gravel roadbed was still on the spacious and flat road, the empty houses on the street were lifeless, and the old camps blocked by the town were reborn. revealed.

"Damn it! What are you doing!"

A rough scream ran across the empty town, and the chunky craftsman who was like a tree stump rushed to the front of the team like a rolling stone, feeling sorry for the paved roadbed.

"Uh... sorry, but the cement is about to succeed in alchemy."

"That thing called cement better work! Get off my embankment now!"

Annan obediently obeyed.Xingyue Bay turned from the camp where they left to a brand new town, thanks to the chunky craftsmen.

Back at the camp, the friendly but ugly log house appeared before Annan's eyes. Annan felt that he was familiar with the big house without feeling ugly.The fireplace burned warmly, and the two-month-old house that he was absent became Ingrid and François' office.

Francois and Ingrid rushed over, but the captain of the guard hadn't left yet.

"Any thing else?"

The captain of the personal guard nodded: "Do you still remember the fleeing citizens?"

"Another person left?"

"There are a few leaders, we let them leave according to your order. But the problem is not them. The leader who escaped at first ran to Glacier Harbor."

"Is he from Glacier Harbor or has he gone there?"

"do not know."

They didn't go undercover in Glacier Harbor.Annan looked at Bloom, "Master Olme is not there." He said.

It's a pity that Dina stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise a member of the Shadow Brotherhood would be enough to find out the truth.

"It's okay, it's just a leader."

The longer the delay, the greater the advantage of Xingyue Bay. Annan expects Gema to face the elemental army when he really comes to make trouble——

Thinking of this, Annan activated the magic ring, and a wind element appeared in the teleportation array.It's a pity that it's not the sixth water element.

Let it go out to play with the sea breeze, Annan went to the open space outside the big house to release low-level summoning skills, took Aunt Susan and the others back to Xingyue Bay, and then asked the ogre to find Michael.

Xingyue Bay is not yet accessible to wheelchairs, so Lindy supports Mr. Victor.

"The scenery is nice." Fast commented, and he really liked it. "Where is my tavern, kid."

"It hasn't been built yet."

Annan called the chunky craftsman and asked him to bring a map of Xingyue Bay to customize for these people: Fast's request was that the tavern must be along the coast.

"When the port is built in the future, the tavern will be full of sailors and merchants every day." Annan reminded Fast who only wanted to live a peaceful life.

"Forget it, where are you?"

Annan pointed to the future lord's mansion, and Fast randomly chose an open space nearby. He didn't want Evelyn to hang out with smelly sailors all day long.Evelyn has already been spoiled by Annan once!

Annan correspondingly marked out an area by the sea, which will be Andrew Luna's tavern.

The sea breeze is damp and corrodes wood and paper, so Mr. Victor's library is also chosen next to the lord's mansion.Annan asked the craftsmen to increase the lighting when designing the library; Aunt Susan's family, Annan hoped that they would live in the lord's mansion, but Uncle Huolin said that was not good, so he only needed to build a residential house next to the mansion; Howler came over and wanted a felt account.Annan refused him: "You are my subordinate, you can live in the mansion", and then mercifully agreed to decorate its room in the style of orcs.

And the elemental army... Annan asked the chunky craftsman to dig an underground hall under the lord's mansion to hide the elements.

At this time, the ogre came back with Michael.

"The cement you want."

Michael handed over a portion of cement, a portion of fine sand, a portion of water and the mold to Annan,
"What is this?" Francois asked.

Annan prepared them, stirred them, and put them into molds: "The foundation of Xingyue Bay's future."

Wood can rot in decades, concrete can stand in centuries.

And Xingyue Bay needs city walls.The ice wall will melt in summer, and the Ratmen will not be so stupid as to attack Xingyue Bay in winter.Nothing is better for building a solid wall than cement.

It takes time for the cement to solidify. Let the short and fat craftsmen come to see the results tomorrow, and then assign half of the citizens to dig limestone in the mining area. Annan briefly asked about what happened in the territory in the past two months.

For example, the footprints of gnolls wandering outside the bay after snowfall, but as the weather gets colder and colder, these gnolls migrate south—maybe they will break into the glacier bay of Gemma.

Then Annan drove away Ingrid and asked Francois to bring a box of gold coins.

1000 gold coins should make up for mistakes?

Thinking of this, Annan released the low-level summoning technique.

A portal appeared in front of Annan: a seductive golden color, a priest and a church emerged from the other side of the crack.

Annan hurriedly canceled the spell before the pastor looked back in doubt... The king of the North almost became the thief who stole the statue of the church.

"We didn't see anything."

Annan and Francois, who were also in shock, said.

Francois had a nightmare that night. If he had known that Annan was plotting against the Goddess of Wealth, he would definitely have escaped from Xingyue Bay.Annan slept soundly until early in the morning when the reverberating sound of gouging woke him up.

"What's going on outside?"

"The workers are disposing of the excrement," the guard said.

"Bang bang" the sound of the pickaxe reminded Annan of the days when he was in a haunted gold mine.

The captain of the personal guard said that the excrement was frozen like a stone, even if it was poured with boiling water, it would freeze again before it melted, and the smell could make people spit out the dinner three days ago.Dozens of leaders spend a morning every day——

Annan was thoughtful, his black eyes gradually fell towards the water element.

……

wow-

The water ball made by the water element fell into the temporarily dug ditch, turning into a torrent of water and rushing towards the composting pond.

"This should be okay."

Annan taught the chunky craftsmen to upgrade the pit-type public toilets to flush-type public toilets, easily solving the problem that has puzzled the territory for a long time.It's just that Francois hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

"This water elemental...should be elite? Are we sure we want to put it here?"

"Don't let reality shackle our imagination." Annan said, "Magic is not only used for fighting."

Anyway, there is no such organization as the Elements Protection Association in this world.

should not.
