Alien world

Chapter 179 32. The Three Little Pigs
"I thought you'd let the epic mage take care of this."

The news that Xingyue Bay successfully resisted the snow tide was sent to Breeze City through the portal, Olmedo praised.

"This doesn't require Mr. Swallow's action. I just stood on the city wall, and the frost giant wizard gave up going south under my deterrence."

"What if I want to hear the truth?"

"The truth is that I followed your advice." Annan looked around the busy city wall, in case the glaciers melted and blocked the river in a few months, the workers were clearing the trees in the river. "We saved our homeland ourselves, more than anything."

The snow tide had stopped, and the pure white cold was approaching the city wall, making Xingyue Bay ready for battle, but it stopped when it was more than 200 miles away from Breeze City.

The frost giant wizard is not stupid enough to use the remaining power of the snow mountain to get involved in Breeze City.

However, Olmedo warned Annan that the expansion of the territory of the Frost Giants living at the foot of the snow-capped mountains was inevitable. Beware of the north recently, the Frost Giants may not be able to see the weakness of Xingyue Bay and attack again.

They are already doing this.Right now, the coldest blizzard after winter is brewing over the northern forest.

At this time, a group of uninvited guests from Glacier Harbor appeared outside Xingyue Bay.

"We brought an inquiry from Lord Gema." The knight who didn't know that Xingyue Bay was protected from the snow tide said, "As long as you agree, Lord Gema will immediately lead the soldiers to set out to support."

Annan issued an unprecedented cold tone: "Leave my Xingyue Bay, or stay forever."

The knights rode back anxiously.

"You're looking more and more like a true king of the North now." Ingrid came out from behind holding a note, "Except for doing everything yourself."

"Because of lack of manpower."

Although the improvement of the happiness and happiness of the leaders will make Annan feel full, but he also wants to see the world everywhere, such as going to the south...

In short, the crisis is over, and Annan will have plenty of time to play the lord game with Gema.

The magic ring just happened to be full of magic power. Annan summoned a large fire elemental, let it drive away the knights, and let them run faster-in fact, Annan wanted to catch them to do hard work at the time, and those horses were also the best in the north. horse.

It will take some time before the northern blizzard sweeps through Xingyue Bay. After the workers cleared the river, Annan rewarded them as promised a few days ago.

In order to let the [-] workers supporting Xingyue Bay realize what the reward is, Annan led them along the tidy street to the townhouse, and asked Francois to hand over [-] keys to the [-] hardest-working workers. workers.

Then Annan revealed his real purpose in doing so-it would be an insult to let [-] workers go back intact.

"The workers who are willing to stay will also be my people. Like other citizens, you can eat enough every day, live in new and warm rooms, have endless work, and be protected by perfect laws."

Ingrid, who made financial statistics, hesitated to speak.

It's just that the living expenses of the citizens are close to 300 gold per month... If these workers are really kept, unless they don't care about the life and death of the citizens like other territories, Xingyue Bay's finances will not last for a few months.

Fortunately, less than a hundred workers were willing, and ten of them were rewarded workers.Including their families, there are almost two to three hundred people.

Then pay today's salary according to the agreement, and then use the portal to send them back to Breeze City.

Annan never shirks his salary.In order to start circulation and trading of the territory, the people must first have money—although Xingyue Bay currently has no place to spend money other than taverns.

All outsiders have gone back, and the new citizens and their families have also been brought back.Xingyue Bay began to celebrate: the specific way is to watch "The Fall of the Mage Tower" while eating.

The result was forced to end due to the howling wind and snowflakes in the middle of the night.

……

The frost giant wizard is still testing Xingyue Bay, the evidence is the blizzard that lasted for three days.

But Xingyue Bay is not an ordinary territory. In theory, the population of the entire Breeze City can be drilled here overnight.There is no shortage of supplies here, and the leaders just want to hide in their houses without seeing the sun for several days.

The citizens who had nothing to do began to spread rumors that the lord's right-hand man cried after the snow tide crisis.

Annoyed, François ordered an investigation, but nothing came of it.There is only news from an unknown source: it is said that the shadow of the lord is looming behind this incident...

call--

The cold wind poured through the open door, and the fireplace flickered.

François closed the door, shaking the snow from his hair and shoulders.

Annan was chatting with Bronzebeard: "Is elemental life strange in the material world?"

"It's not surprising that the earth-dwelling dwarves work with the earth elements."

"They live together? Are the earth elements divided into males and females?"

"Stop your dangerous thoughts! Warlock!"

"Annan...I have something to tell you." Francois glanced at Bronzebeard and Ingrid in the big room, both of whom were his own: "Have you heard the latest rumors?"

"What rumor?"

"The lord's right-hand man cried after the snow tide crisis..." Francois stared closely at Annan, "Do you have a clue?"

"Are you crying?" Annan looked at Ingrid in surprise, showing relief: "I'm very glad that you can integrate into Xingyue Bay."

Playing dumb doesn't work for François, because he always does: "You know it's not Ingrid."

"It will never be you..."

Annan picked the wrong opponent.The shameless baron didn't even bother to use "snowflakes in his eyes" as an excuse: "Yes, I was the one who cried. And the only one who saw this scene is you, my dear lord."

"Where's my Firecrow? I don't seem to have communicated with my sisters today." Annan turned his head and asked Ingrid.

There was the sound of Bronze Beard "tsk tsk" watching the excitement nearby, and she regretted that there was no glass of beer at this time to celebrate the wonderful scene.

There was another whistling sound outside the window, and Annan said, "Do you know the story of the three little pigs?"

This is not an interrogative sentence. Annan took the initiative to tell the story of the three little pigs: "The three little pigs built three houses, the lazy pigs built a straw house, the normal pigs built a wooden house, and the hardworking pigs Built a stone house... The big bad wolf blew down the straw house, knocked down the wooden house, but couldn't do anything with the stone house..."

As if to verify Annan's story, the snowstorm outside the window gradually weakened, and the slanted snowflakes returned to ease.

Francois stopped asking because he already knew the answer.

"Those frost giants gave up?" Bronzebeard said, opening the door.

The fireplace flickered weakly, and the sky was still gloomy, but not as dark as evening.

Annan stood in front of the door stepping on the snow. He raised his head and saw a shadow passing by under the cloud of falling snowflakes.

an owl?
