A strange world

Chapter 1216 Chapter 138. A strange world

"What do you all need?"

"Any material." The eldest prince said solemnly: "Food, metal, weapons..."

The Kingdom of Dimon still has some money in its treasury, and they also have a large amount of demon iron.

"Do you want a golem?" Annan said excitedly, "The strength of the knight golem is comparable to that of a large earth element, and as long as there is a mage tower, it can be recharged and fight again."

The golem is unsalable and needs to be exported urgently. Please help us!

The eldest prince did not lie. The Kingdom of Dimon lacked everything, including golems.

It was the price of 300 gold coins that made the eldest prince look embarrassed. If he purchases another golem, the kingdom's finances will easily be stretched, and he can't say no to Annan, the only one who lends a helping hand...

"We still have some coal and firewood stored. Can you exchange some of them first?"

"No, the temperature will drop in four months. I'm afraid you are even more short of fuel than we are." Annan changed his words and said, "It doesn't matter, you can pay on credit first."

For such a big kingdom, they would never default on their debts.

In the eyes of the eldest prince, this trust was no less than the previous helping hand.

The time for the portal was about to end. Annan called Francois and asked him to go to the capital of the kingdom and follow Joan to cooperate with the eldest prince to compile a list of supplies they needed.

"Your Excellency Annan, you are a friend of the kingdom." Finally, the eldest prince saluted Annan.

Annan smiled and said, "I like to make friends."

After the portal completely dispersed, Annan asked Olmedo: "Why do you ask me if there is coal?"

"Do you think all the steaming food grows on the shelves?"

In order to cooperate with the druids, Annan made many compromises, such as prohibiting the arbitrary cutting of trees. After firewood was restricted, people could only use coal to make fires for cooking.

But compared to the ubiquitous firewood, coal is too difficult to find. Rely on imports? It's not enough to transport fuel by merchant ships.

Exploration parties in the Forest Mountains found some small veins of minerals, but none of the gold and coal that were most needed.

Apart from adding a piece of knowledge to the school textbooks that "the Gem Bay on the north shore of the Strait of Obiris was not rich in plants in ancient times", it did not provide any help.

Fortunately, there is no need to burn it for heating... No, it is also used for heating.

The radiation range of the Mage Tower is limited to the floating range of Liberty City, but there are also a large number of new residents outside. When winter comes, we can't let them suffer from hunger and cold in the cold, right?

Olmedo suggested, “Maybe we could get some firewood from our neighbors?”

"Then people laugh at me for being stupid?"

Olmedo wanted to say that they won't laugh at you, but when he saw Annan suddenly looked enlightened.

"You have an idea?"

"Well, if there is a shortage of coal, why not go to the dwarves?" Annan realized that he was a bit sacrificing his own talents to seek the last.

To dwarves, coal mines are even waste materials that they disdain to mine. You can get a lot of them for not much money.

And he also has alcohol, a great weapon against dwarves.

The only problem is that Harvey Stoneskull's dwarf kingdom is a little far away from Liberty City...about two Wilhelm's distance.

So what to do about the fire problem during this period? There can't be a small fire element hidden in every stove, right?

Then Annan suddenly came to his senses and once again sacrificed his roots to seek the end...

We all thought about letting the fire element go to the stove, why didn't we think of using magic power to light the fire?

What better energy source than the ubiquitous presence of magic?

It can even be extended to other fields. Why do you have to recreate technology from scratch instead of changing technology to look like this world? A tree from another world can replace a mobile phone, a magic lamp can replace an electric light... why not a steam engine?

Magic steam engine... magic airship... magic gun...

Oh, great element of magic, praise Misghma! When Olmedo stared at the excited Annan in confusion, the words of the old man in his dream came to his mind.

"This is your way..."

…

Francois, who came to the Kingdom of Dimont, revealed the long-lost pickiness of the "shameless baron".

Under the leadership of the eldest prince, he walked around the capital of the kingdom, and all of them commented that the city walls were too short, the city defenses were too weak, the warehouses were too empty, and there were too few soldiers.

The officials who followed were surprised to see the young people around the eldest prince making comments. His Highness looked humbly accepting, and even looked a little happy.

Because the more faults Francois finds, the longer the list becomes.

He didn't know that Francois thought the same thing. No matter what, the Kingdom of Dimon was once one of the three countries that jointly defended the Snow Mountain Fortress, and its foundation and strength were only stronger than those of the Kingdom of Rekaner. City walls, mage towers, guards and mage groups are all available.

If the enemy hadn't been really difficult to deal with, they wouldn't have lowered their stance like this.

Although it was also because Liberty City killed Rekaner.

But how to sell concrete, magic cannons and goods without exaggerating the problem?

After turning around, Francois said those words: "Your Highness, have you heard of the magic musket?"

…

On June 3, 1002 in the Saint Laurent calendar, the purchase order from the Kingdom of Dimon was delivered to the city lord's palace.

Food, refined iron, magic materials... In addition to these regular supplies, there are also 10 knight golems.

No one's money comes from the strong wind. The Dimon Kingdom will purchase 10 units first to try. If they don't work, it can be regarded as repaying Liberty City for lending a helping hand.

Annan thought about it. The Dimon Kingdom had deep experience with demons, but not necessarily with ratmen. Otherwise, they would not have been so badly tormented by the plague last year.

So he asked Dumbledore to lower the arms of the knight golems sent to the Dimon Kingdom to ensure that they could sweep the heads or waists of ratmen with their hands raised.

In addition, there were ten magic muskets in the purchase order.

"Why only this?"

Francois meant to try it first, which was reasonable.

In any case, Liberty City could actually be on par with an old force like the Dimon Kingdom...Annan inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility.

Then, three days later, on June 6, the day after Liberty City sent the supplies to the Dimon Kingdom, the kingdom sent another list. The quantity of other supplies did not change much, only the knight golems, magic cannons, and magic muskets were 100, 1,000, and 10,000 respectively.

Annan was stunned by this large order.

"Does the kingdom have so much money?"

"Didn't you allow them to buy on credit?"

"Yes, but why would they ask for so much..."

Olmedo answered their thoughts: "The kingdom has stopped the enemy, and the debt can be paid slowly. If it fails... there is no need to worry about the debt."

"Then let's move on!"

Ingrid took the list to prepare. Everything else was fine, but the production capacity of the Golem Factory and the Blacksmith Shop was suddenly insufficient.

Fortunately, there was still a rainy season before the autumn harvest, so they had time to catch up.
