Chapter 850 81. Liberty City Takes Off

Annan thought he was rich enough, but his income in the past two years was not more than one-tenth of that of Wilhelm Lion.

"We don't have that much money..."

In order to turn Liberty City into a war fortress, Annan spent a day purchasing supplies and drained his finances.

"It doesn't matter. In view of the previous cooperation basis, you can get it on credit!" said the other side "generously".

"I think the point is not credit. You know that Liberty City has only been established for less than two years. If it is just a little boy who has just walked, then you are like a noble lady who still has charm... Well, I mean..."

"I understand, so you can consider leasing it, for only one hundred thousand gold coins at a time."

if only……

But Annan really needs to spend this one-time 100,000 gold coins. If they couldn't reach the Huiyue Mountains within two days, their actions would be meaningless.

"Okay, I choose to rent."

The businessman said that the auxiliary personnel they sent would be there within an hour.

Annan spent 100,000 gold coins, and he had to thank them for being a good trading partner-Liberty City didn't even charge interest on credit.

Olmedo encouraged Annan to get another small arcane energy core, so that the Free City, whose range expanded to 1500 meters, could take away all the buildings except the port and farmland.

Annan exchanged a debt of 600,000 gold coins for a small arcane energy core and an alchemist. In the evening, the alchemist arrived.

"I am Gini Whiteman, an alchemist. Take me there where the arcane energy core is." The alchemist said a long list of words as soon as he arrived.

Annan led the way and curiously asked the alchemist from Wilhelm: "Are you a merchant's alchemist?"

"Yes, no, I am the merchant's alchemist," Whiteman corrected.

Annan didn't ask "What's the difference between him and an alchemist?" He could have guessed that he would be looked down upon if he asked. This Whiteman alchemist looked like a guy who couldn't speak.

The core of Liberty City is the City Lord's Mansion. The core of the City Lord's Mansion is the underground arcane energy core chamber, a hall completely wrapped in orichalcum.

The alchemist from Wilhelm first installed the small arcane energy core he brought on the mithril base and asked for a large amount of alchemical materials.

Whiteman didn't care at all that Annan led others to steal his knowledge, and even took the initiative to say: "The energy that drives the arcane energy core has a constant output. As long as we change the energy output appropriately, we can increase the intensity of the arcane energy core."

"It's equivalent to overloading? What's the cost?"

"Can you understand?" Whiteman raised his head and glanced at Annan in surprise, "You are the smartest warlock I have ever seen!"

If it weren't for the fact that he had to take the soldiers home and spend 100,000 gold coins, Annan would really be proud and complacent.

"There is no price. If the arcane energy core is damaged in such a simple way, it is not worthy of becoming the crystallization of the Whiteman family." Gini Whiteman said proudly, "As long as it is not overloaded for a month, it will be fine."

The fruit of the Whiteman family...?
Annan's eyes changed when he looked at the alchemist. It was like the eyes of Ilimayas when she saw the treasure.

That's right, not everyone in Wilhelm has arcane energy cores... Who else besides the ancient family can sell arcane energy cores like a kid?

"Okay - your place is nice and solid. I've changed it again. It only takes two days to reach the Huiyue Mountains."

Gini Whiteman backed away from the two arcane energy cores, one large and one small: "Send me some food, and I will stay here to control the floating city."

Annan did as he was told and asked Abby to bring food and a bed.

It only took Gini Whiteman more than ten minutes from beginning to end, which makes people wonder if it is worth 100,000 gold coins?

The answer is both valuable and worthless. The value lies in the fact that an alchemist... magician can do it very easily. The value lies in the fact that no one else has this skill except the businessman.

Annan made up his mind to establish a good relationship with the alchemist of the Whiteman family and asked Abby to carefully prepare some Liberty City specialties. As long as the trade relationship is no longer pure, even if it is only a 10% discount, it will save 50,000 gold coins corresponding to the small arcane energy core.

During this period, Martin brought an apple pie, then leaned close to Whiteman and inhaled sharply, muttering that the smell of Wilhelmians was nothing special.

Olmedo invited Archduke Girardi, who finally insisted on following him, out of Liberty City. He is the Grand Duke of Montabro Locke, so he can't go to war with them.

Oh, and most importantly: tell Layla not to go fishing.

Finally, a new batch of foreign aid troops of about 700 people were received, and Liberty City was ready.

……

Early in the morning of August 13th.

At dawn, residents came to the streets and surrounded the city lord's palace.

"Are you ready?"

In the city lord's palace, Olmedo, who had put on a formal dress, asked Annan.

"Okay." Annan's voice was a little strange, "It's just floating in the air, don't be so nervous."

Olmedo looked at Annan who was taking deep breaths and smiled knowingly: "Okay, I'm not nervous."

"let's go."

Annan pushed Itilia's wheelchair and appeared with Olmedo on the terrace of the City Lord's Palace.

As they appeared, the area around the crowded square grew quiet.

"Get ready for liftoff!"

As the words fell, an invisible force surged out from deep underground.

Liberty City seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, the surrounding air trembled, and the ground outside the city began to tear apart and faults appeared.

The children cried, everyone was a little flustered, and some sat on the ground unsteadily.

The captains of the guards scattered everywhere loudly told everyone not to worry. There was a layer of orichalcum under our feet, and even the gods could not bend it.

The power from the ground continued to surge like a tide, pushing this huge city-state to rise slowly.

As the floating city rises, the surrounding winds gradually become louder and louder. They roar through every corner of the city, bringing up pieces of dust and fallen leaves. The power of the wind and the rising power of the floating city are intertwined, playing a wild movement.

Standing at the port, people floating on the sea stared dumbfoundedly at the strong winds that stirred up sand and dust, obscuring the outline of the floating city.

Liberty City, rising higher and higher, broke through the cage formed by the sand and dust, and was completely exposed to the morning sun.

The surfaces of the buildings in the city were coated with a golden brilliance, and the Wheat River that had been forgotten by Annan and flowed into the Free City brought an unexpected surprise——

The Wheat River, which was cut off due to the liftoff of Liberty City, was like a silver ribbon. The rippling river flowed down the edge of Liberty City, forming a spectacular waterfall. It turns into water mist and forms a beautiful rainbow with the refraction of sunlight.

The newspaper reporter holding the magic stone stood at the port and recorded it. The people on the ground looked up at this scene with awe and longing. It was not until the cool water vapor fell on their faces that they suddenly woke up and burst into warm applause and cheers.

People were waving hats, handkerchiefs, clothes and shouting.

The rising Liberty City covered the sun and shone brightly in the sunlight.
