A strange world

Chapter 431 Chapter 89. Gem City

The portal was crowded with people.

What frustrates Annan is that they are more concerned about how Annan collected enough 400,000 gold coins in a short month than the glowing arcane energy core behind him - during the most difficult time in Xingyue Bay, he was Several hundred gold coins were touched here and there by the women.

"You've been in town too long, country bumpkins." Annan's vent to them received mixed reactions.

"I'm not surprised."

"Let me go over there...I want to fish."

"Please curse some more!"

"It sounds like you snatched it from a noble."

Annan turned his attention away from the strange words mixed in and replied Fast: "Absolutely."

However, the rain and dew in Annan were shared evenly - each noble and wealthy businessman only grabbed a few gold coins to a dozen gold coins.

Now he was eyeing those civilians again.

And Olmedo said: "I guessed it, you asked Claudia for so many magic stones,"

There was also Layla who threw herself into the portal, and Annan had to catch her to prevent his sister from hitting the arcane energy core and turning into a void creature.

"You guys go follow her."

Annan said helplessly to a few elements, and then stood aside: "You should also come over and take a look at our future home."

"I like your description." Fast stepped out of the portal.

Annan might have believed him if he hadn't been holding a fishing rod and walking eagerly.

Then came the Wine Lady and her pushing Mr. Victor’s niece, Lorna Gilman, her brother, Aunt Susan’s family, and Dela, these familiar people from the small town in the woods to the vast Gem Bay.

Annan looked at Olmedo and Itilia at the back. Olmedo pushed her out of the portal.

There was only the lone maid Abby left on the other side of the portal. Annan waved to her, and Abby was surprised and walked over according to the hem of her skirt.

But there are still some people missing.

"Where are Michael and Francois?"

"They thought you were short of money and went to work as a mercenary in the nearby Fallen Leaf Territory."

Francois would do this, and Annan was no exception... He was the most diligent person except Ingrid when he was in Xingyue Bay. Michael... In addition to asking for money, he actually makes money! ?

"How many people are left in the town?" Annan took Idilia's wheelchair and asked.

"Less than five thousand people are still in town."

There were more than 10,000 people who came to Typhoon Shelter Town with Annan and the others. Two months later, half of them were left... much better than Annan imagined.

"They really believe in you." Annan sighed. The future team of New Star Moon Bay already exists.

"Annan, it's you they believe." Olmedo stopped at the dividing line between the gravel beach and the beach, his tone filled with sadness: "Not me, the 'mayor' who stayed with them..."

Edilia suddenly tapped the back of Annan's hand to remind him, vaguely guessing Olmedo's thoughts, Annan blurted out: "I want to correct you, you are now our future deputy city leader of the floating city."

"Sorry, Annan...I'm a little tired..."

Contrary to her dazzling blonde hair and bright smile, Olmedo has always been a pessimist...especially after losing a loved one.

"Sister, I want to ask for something..." Annan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Can I change my last name to Olmedo..."

Olmedo and Itilia were stunned at the same time.

In the end, Olmedo did not agree to Annan, but she would still make suggestions for Annan. Annan didn't push her anymore, maybe Olmedo would take the initiative to change his mind in the future.

Of the remaining 5,000 people in Typhoon Shelter Town, more than 800 are nobles and wealthy businessmen... They were sheltered by Olmedo because they chose to side with Olmedo in the end.

Annan couldn't imagine what use they had. A wealthy merchant might be able to become a merchant again with experience, but what can nobles do? attend banquet? Wear nice clothes?

Annan didn't know if there was any reason for Olmedo's rejection of him... She was still in Typhoon Shelter Town, so these nobles couldn't become the worms in New Star Moon Bay.

"How many professionals are there left?"

"About a thousand people."

"so much?"

One in five professionals... Typhoon Shelter is enough to keep the powers-that-be in nearby towns awake.

"They are all the most loyal warriors in Breeze City." Olmedo was proud of them, "I am ready to hand it over to you."

Annan did not refuse, but hesitated: "Can they do things? I mean logging, mining, patrolling, etc..."

“Things in warehouses just rot.”

"Where are the remaining three thousand people?"

"They're the families of those people, and yours."

Annan brought only more than 200 people, half of whom were elite musketeers, but some of them left one after another - such as Kerrian, and there are only more than 90 people still in the town.

Annan doesn't care much - he believes that as the news of New Star Moon Bay spreads, his subjects will come back again.

"Is the old master Mars still there?"

"They left a month ago, reportedly to find other northern families."

The families of the Twelve Kings of the North have all left the North... The King of the North has ceased to exist in name only.

After all, even the original Twelve Kings of the North did not face the attack of the demon tide and the rat tide.

Annan thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Sister, the guardian of our family..."

"It left in the early hours of the morning."

It happened to be the end of the contract between the Fire Dragon and the Reeves family.

Annan did not ask further details and introduced them to the next arrangements:

The best golden beach on the front of the bay is used as a tourist attraction, and the harbor is placed on the east side.

"Isn't it a floating city? Why is there a seaport?"

"It will only float when it encounters danger, and even if it floats, it can be turned into an airport."

The unknown forest mountains to the west should contain rich minerals... Annan needs more dwarves!

As for the druids... cutting down trees and planting them at the same time should attract them? It's just that druids have always hated the undead, so they have to find a way to make them accept the skeleton farmer.

For example, can the "blessed holy skeleton farmer" reduce their resistance?

The people scattered in Gem Bay discovered the captives beside the campfire.

Annan said he brought a gift to the new life of his homeland: "The new territory needs people."

"Do you still have enough money?"

"We should be spending less money than I'm making, for now."

Magical images are spreading to the Tatooine Empire and other Middle-earth nations, and Annan must seize the gold before pirates and imitators emerge.

"I have a question, what is the name of our new territory?" Annan looked around at everyone.

"Dark Night City."

"It's so elfin, it will make outsiders think it's those guys' territory."

"The home of Annan and his friends?"

"Only a lecherous noble would call a manor that hides women that."

Annan gave up their bad idea: "Then let's go to Gem City."

It just so happens that he likes gems.

Yili Ruishi slapped his chest and couldn't wait to build a spectacular city lord's palace for Annan——

"Don't worry, City Lord's Mansion... I need you to build a dragon's lair first that all dragons can't refuse."
