The dissipating rift ended Annan and Olmedo's brief reunion.
Annan is planning to invite Olmedo to Xingyue Bay as a guest next time. As for why next time...
"Ingrid, let the craftsmen meet at the lord's mansion." Annan returned to the city lord's "mansion" after passing the ugly wooden house that embarrassed him.
The restrained craftsmen arrived later, and the ogre's foresight made the big house not seem crowded at all.
"On behalf of Xingyue Bay, I welcome you all." Annan spoke according to etiquette but did not follow for long, "You have seen the situation in Xingyue Bay... Do you have any thoughts?"
The craftsmen hesitated, and a speculator stood up at this moment: "I have never seen such a unique house. It is like being in a dream, full of innocence and art... The entire territory is integrated with nature——"
Most craftsmen showed shamelessness, but a few craftsmen regretted that they were a little slower.
Annan thought thoughtfully: "You think it's pretty good?"
The craftsman with a delicate goatee said flatteringly: "It is simply a work of art."
"What's your name?"
"Grosso, Lord Lord!"
Annan said to the captain of the personal guard outside the door: "Exclude Grosso from the ranks of craftsmen who design houses, give him an ax and let him cut down trees."
The pale-faced goatee craftsman was taken out of the big house, and Annan looked around at the silent craftsman.
"I don't want to listen to flattering and exaggerated praise. It was late autumn when I came to Xingyue Bay. Because there was no time to build beautiful and practical houses, I first allowed the residents to build houses freely."
Annan first shied away the responsibility, and then said: "I invite you to build exquisite houses for Xingyue Bay. If you can't do it, it's okay. Xingyue Bay is full of places to employ people."
Does it mean there is a lack of people to cut down trees?
Grosso's tragedy is vivid in his mind, and of course the craftsmen will not refuse.
Lord's mansion, residence, blacksmith shop, warehouse, shop, toilet, dock, wall... There are many types of buildings that need to be built.
The highest priorities are the lord's mansion, docks and walls, but Annan erased the lord's mansion and put the priority of the road at the top.
Not only is it quite comfortable for Annan to live in this big log house, they also need to pave roads or roadbeds before the soil freezes, otherwise the entire camp will turn into mud if it melts next year.
Nothing is more suitable for paving roads than cement. Even Breeze City mainly has stone roads, and the rest are dirt roads. During the rainy season, they turn into sludge puddles that emit stench and breed bacteria.
Annan is going to send a team of five people to search for limestone along the coast. As for the slag and things Annan can't remember... he plans to find it and hand it over to Michael for development - mages usually dabble in potions and alchemy, as everyone knows
, Alchemy can be understood as changing substances, so cement is also an alchemical material.
As for the price of alchemy... Although the income of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has tended to stagnate, and the theater and several other screening venues now only have two to three hundred gold coins per day, the total revenue has exceeded 20,000 gold coins.
It is said that at the meeting at the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, Olmedo silenced the councilors and nobles with the data he presented - 6% of Breeze City's tax revenue this year was contributed by Annan. Or rather, it was contributed by the "Fall of the Mage Tower".
It’s not that no one is trying to imitate. The smart ones imitated it after seeing “The Fall of the Wizard Tower”, such as “The Fall of the Wizard Tower”, “The Fall of the Wizard Tower”, and “Jack and Rose’s One-Night Affair”, which were directly copied.
They will translate those popular stage plays and epic stories into magical images, but they don’t know what lens language, storyboarding techniques, montage are, and they don’t even know how to edit.
It was so shoddy that theater owners refused to show it, and Annan had no interest in learning about his competitors.
And because the ticket price was 1 silver coin and the audience was not large, we lost a lot of money. We had to increase the price——
10 silver coins? Then why don't they watch "The Fall of the Tower" ten times?
The guy who didn’t want to bear the burden of a recording magic stone that could only be used ten times went to ask about the price of the eternal magic stone——
1000 gold coins?
Then why don't they buy cotton?
Speaking of cotton, the "Susan Spinning Machine" made by the King of the North was the main culprit for the skyrocketing price of cotton, allowing those damn poor people to afford cotton clothes.
After dozens of minutes of discussion, Annan and the craftsmen finalized the plan for Xingyue Bay. The construction is mainly made of stone, supplemented by wood.
Annan has a special liking for Breeze City-style pitched roof buildings, which are also suitable for the snowfall in the Northland winter.
They had a long winter to complete the work.
Leaving this matter to Francois for coordination, Annan looked at Ingrid who was left behind: "Tell me about Gemma Diatra."
The Diatra family is in Bethal City, except for the fact that Annan knows that Gema Diatra is the second son of the family, this Gema rarely leaves the family, and has never even left Bethal City.
Gemma Diatra is described by others as a gentle, approachable nobleman.
Annan couldn't combine this word with that face that needed a beating, so Olmedo was also puzzled when he learned about Gmar Diatra's performance in Xingyue Bay.
"Is he an elite mage?"
"Gema, he is just an ordinary person."
Annan recalled several low-level spells that night at the promontory... Did Gemma Diatra hide the identity of the mage?
A second son who had never left the city and hid his identity as a spellcaster suddenly left the family and provoked a king in the north in a high-profile way. After asking for his territory to no avail, he opened up territory nearby... What does he want to do?
"It is impossible for the unpopular second son to awaken as a spell caster because of the soul hidden in the magic ring. After the family was humiliated, he stayed behind for thirty years east of the Pulani River and left thirty years west of the Pulani River. According to the oath,
The soul guided me to Xingyue Bay, which has precious resources, but found that it had been occupied by others, so I had to seize the territory."
Annan thought irresponsibly.
Maybe it's even a girl. Augusta can hide Olmedo's identity for twenty years, and so can the Diatra family.
"Thirty years east of the Pulani River...?"
""The Law Breaks the Sky" is also my work."
"I will find a chance to read." Ingrid nodded.
In any case, Annan must be prepared. Gema's "Snow Mountain Port" is very close to Xingyue Bay, so close that the cavalry can make a surprise attack in just one morning, and the trucks only need one day.
Ingrid left the big house, and there were new settlers to make arrangements for. Annan looked out the window and saw the orange-red fire arrow coming from the east.
The leader of Ossurond finally replied:
[Bad Annan, smelly Annan:
You're done! My eldest sister is angry. She stopped me from replying to my letter. You shouldn't hide it from your family. My eldest sister is very sad and I am also very disappointed. But I am the only one who can help you now. Please say something to comfort your eldest sister. She
Love the long poem about the violet flower!
Also, Xingyue Bay? Have you been deceived by the stinky woman from the elves!】
Annan read it many times and wrote a reply after thinking deeply about it.
