Chapter 172 Section 26. Let go of your imagination
The area around the bay has changed from a snow forest to a vast snowfield. On both sides of the spacious and straight streets stand exquisite but not old-fashioned new houses, with sloping roofs covered with the light snow that fell last night.
Children play on the frozen sea during the warmest time of the day, while adults in the distance carve out territory and build houses along the snowy forest.
When spring comes and everything revives, this seaside town will be so prosperous.
Is it too late to ask Andrew Luna for money at this time?
The cavalry wandering around the outskirts of Xingyue Bay discovered them, and the guard captain led a small team towards them.
"Uncle Blom."
"Long time no see, Swain, boys."
Blom greeted him familiarly and told Annan: "He is my nephew."
Annan was not surprised that Blom and Swain looked alike when they stood together.
The carriage drove towards the town, but the beauty seen in the distance was revealed as it got closer - the broad and flat road was still covered with rough gravel roadbed, the empty houses on the street lacked life, and the old camps blocked by the town also reappeared.
reveal.
"Damn it! What are you doing!"
A rough scream passed through the empty town, and the squat craftsman who looked like a tree stump rushed in front of the team like a rolling stone, feeling sorry for the paved roadbed.
"Uh... I'm sorry, but the cement is almost ready for alchemy."
"That thing called cement better be useful! Get off my roadbed now!"
Annan was obedient. Xingyue Bay changed from the camp when he left it to a brand-new town, and the pudgy craftsman was indispensable.
Returning to the camp, the friendly but ugly log house appeared in front of him. Annan sighed that he was familiar with the big house without feeling ugly. The fireplace burned warmly, and the big house became Ingrid and Francois's home during his absence for two months.
Office location.
Francois and Ingrid rushed over, but the guard captain had not left yet.
"Is there anything else?"
The guard captain nodded: "Do you remember the escaped citizens?"
"Someone left again?"
"There are a few territorial citizens, and we allowed them to leave according to your order. But they are not the problem. The first fleeing territorial citizens ran to Glacier Port."
"Is he from Glacierport or did he go there?"
"have no idea."
They didn't have any undercover agents in Glacier Port. Annan looked at Blom, "Neither did Mr. Olmedo," he said.
It's a pity that Dina stayed in the city lord's palace, otherwise a member of the Shadow Brotherhood would be able to find out the truth.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just a citizen."
The longer the delay, the greater the advantage of Xingyue Bay. Annan expected that when Gema really came to cause trouble, he would face the elemental army——
Thinking of this, Annan activated the magic ring, and a wind element appeared in the teleportation array. Unfortunately, it was not the sixth water element.
After letting it go out to play with the sea breeze, Annan went to the open space outside the big house and released a low-level summoning spell, brought Aunt Susan and the others back to Xingyue Bay, and then asked the ogre to find Michael.
Xingyue Bay is not wheelchair accessible yet, so Lindy supports Mr. Victor.
"The scenery is nice." Fast commented, and he really liked this place. "Where is my tavern, boy."
"It hasn't been built yet."
Annan summoned the squat craftsman and asked him to bring a map of Xingyue Bay to customize for these people: Fast's requirement was that the tavern must be along the coast.
"When the port is built in the future, the tavern will be crowded with sailors and merchants every day." Annan reminded Fast, who just wanted to live a peaceful life.
"Forget it, where are you?"
Annan pointed to the future lord's mansion, and Fast randomly chose an open space next to it. He didn't want Evelin to hang out with smelly sailors all day long. Evelin had already been led astray by Annan once!
Annan correspondingly set aside an area on the seaside where Andrew Luna's tavern would be.
The sea breeze is moist and corrodes wood and paper, so Mr. Victor's library was also chosen to be located next to the lord's mansion. Annan asked craftsmen to increase lighting when designing the library; Aunt Susan and her family, Annan wanted them to live in the lord's mansion, but Uncle Huolin
He said that was not a good idea, so he only had to build a residential house next to the mansion. The howler came over and wanted a felt tent. Annan refused him: "You are my subordinate, you can live in the mansion," and then kindly agreed to give it to him.
The room is decorated in an orc style.
There is also the elemental army... Annan asked the pudgy craftsman to dig an underground hall under the lord's mansion to hide the elements.
At this time, the ogre came back with Michael.
"The cement you need."
Michael gave one part of cement, one part of fine sand, one part of water and the mold to Annan.
"What is this?" Francois asked.
Annan mixed them, mixed them, and put them into the mold: "The foundation of the future of Xingyue Bay."
Wood will rot in decades, and concrete will remain standing for hundreds of years.
Moreover, Xingyue Bay needs a city wall. The ice wall will melt in summer, and the rat people will not be stupid enough to attack Xingyue Bay in winter. Nothing is more suitable for building a solid city wall than cement.
It takes time for the cement to solidify. Let the pudgy craftsman look at the results tomorrow and then assign half of the territory's citizens to dig limestone in the mining area. Annan briefly asked about what happened in the territory in the past two months.
For example, there are traces of gnolls wandering outside the bay after the snowfall, but as the weather gets colder, these gnolls migrate south—perhaps breaking into the Glacier Bay of Gema.
Then Annan drives away Ingrid and asks Francois to bring a box of gold coins.
1000 gold coins should be able to make up for the mistake?
With this in mind, Annan released the low-level summoning technique.
A portal appeared in front of Annan: an attractive golden color appeared on the other side of the rift, with a priest and a church.
Annan quickly canceled the spell before the priest looked back in confusion... The King of the North almost became a thief who stole the church idol.
"We didn't see anything."
said Annan and an equally shocked Francois.
Francois had a nightmare that night. If he had known that Annan was plotting against the Goddess of Wealth, he would have definitely escaped from Xingyue Bay. Annan slept well until early in the morning, when the echoing sound of chiseling woke him up.
"What's going on outside?"
The guard said: "Workers are disposing of feces."
The sound of "bang bang" swinging a pickaxe reminded Annan of the days in the haunted gold mine.
The captain of the Guards said that feces is as frozen as stone. Even if boiling water is poured on it, it will freeze again before it melts. Moreover, the smell can make people vomit out the dinner they had three days ago. Dozens of citizens are treated every day.
Chisel one morning——
Annan was thoughtful, his black eyes gradually falling towards the water element.
…
Wow——
The water ball created by the water element fell into the temporarily dug ditch and turned into a rapid flow of water rushing towards the retting pond.
"That's enough."
Annan taught a pudgy craftsman to upgrade pit-type public toilets to flushing public toilets, easily solving the problem that had puzzled the territory for a long time. But Francois hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?"
"This water element...should be elite level? Are we sure we want to put it here?"
"Don't let reality constrain our imagination." Annan said, "Magic is not only used for fighting."
Anyway, there is no such organization as the Elemental Protection Society in this world.
