"Left...a little further to the left...a little to the right...Okay! It's right here!"
Annan's shout jumped over the low hill and reached the ears of Eli Rubble who was standing behind the hill. He used the hammer that all dwarves have, as if they were born with them from the mother's belly, and smashed the sign into the frozen soil.
Where the sign stands is the future location of the Blue Dragon's Lair.
Annan's persistence for nearly five months finally received a response: Blue Dragon was willing to move from the Haunted Gold Mine to Xingyue Bay. I don't know if it was because of those words that came out of nowhere or because of the appearance of the dragon-hunting team.
So Annan hurried back to Breeze City and ran back to Xingyue Bay without stopping to personally choose the nest for the blue dragon.
This dragon-hunting team, which fell apart due to Annan, was actually quite powerful, but they were blinded by greed: the leader of Bearskin was suspicious of the ranger because of the death of the horned warrior, and the ranger wanted to monopolize the blue dragon's lair and poison the most powerful one.
The bear skin leader, they died together. The white-haired mage attacked the female warrior and drove her away.
Annan only solved the first and last one, and the rest killed each other because of suspicion and greed:
If the Bearskin Leader was a spellcaster, perhaps there would be another ending - the Bearskin Leader sees through Annan's identity and is forced to summon Mr. Swaro to deal with them.
Eli Rubble returned to the low hill and expressed his loyalty to the lord appropriately: he asked worriedly whether it would be less dangerous. In the future, the blue dragon would be in a bad mood and a breath of dragon breath could destroy the lord's mansion.
"You don't know how many stories I have experienced with Lord Ilimoyas."
The friendship between Annan and the Blue Dragon cannot be measured by a small amount of money. He urged Yili Gravel to focus on the Blue Dragon's lair. He must complete the Blue Dragon's lair before the arrival of spring, and also let the large water element assist - the Blue Dragon.
Like caves,
"What should I do with the City Lord's Mansion?"
"I can live anywhere."
The Lord's Mansion is neither a spectacle nor a landmark building. The biggest gain from wasting Xingyue Bay's most precious manpower and material resources may be to tell the arriving businessmen: Look, there is a Lord's Mansion in Xingyue Bay.
All the powerful people in Xingyue Bay can't even fit into one toilet, and there is only one servant, poor Abby. Living in the lord's mansion, Annan has to live with the echo and his own loneliness.
Annan and Ingrid visited the current Xingyue Bay again. Because it was still morning, people were working, and the streets were relatively deserted. After two months of expansion, the town was almost half the size of Pinglin Town - it doesn't sound big, but
It can easily accommodate the entire population of Pinglin Town.
The clock tower is almost complete, but the decoration and dials are not yet finished. If you don't get too close, you can look at it. The clock tower standing in the town has the charm of the mage tower in Breeze City, and it may even deter those with malicious intentions who approach.
exist.
The city wall has enclosed the entire north and half of the east, and there is still time to complete it before the end of winter.
In addition to the spinning mill, a new textile factory and a cement factory were built in the southern factory area. The cement that Betar City snapped up was produced there.
The residents still mainly rely on the work of Xingyue Bay to make money, mining, logging, construction, women spinning and weaving. After buildings such as shops, restaurants and blacksmith shops were used one after another, Ingrid changed to paying wages. Compared with the two
Xingyue Bay was brand new a few months ago, and now the smoke rising from everywhere makes it look more like a real town.
Then there are the parts that cannot be seen directly, such as the passing caravans, some desperate refugees, and Yili Ruishi discovered iron ore and silver ore in the territory.
Ingrid and Annan stood on the street not far from the library and talked about something crucial:
They need more money - and Annan has brought it back.
More people are needed - when the earth melts, adventurers and refugees will come, and people who come here will come here.
The surroundings need to be cleaned up - with the arrival of spring, hungry beasts, aliens and bandits wake up from hibernation. In their eyes, a new town is like a piece of meat in front of a hungry wolf. Even if the bones are broken, they have to find a way to bite off a piece.
The library door opened at this moment, and Mr. Victor stood at the door with a cold face:
"You disturbed me."
Annan glanced at the library across the street in confusion. Their voices should not be heard inside...
"You caught my eye."
"I think Mr. Victor is saying, long time no see." Ingrid explained.
Annan returned to the house dejectedly, and planned with Ingrid the next arrangements for Xingyue Bay: school, farmland, and the blue dragon's lair.
They have the highest priority. Needless to say, the Blue Dragon's Lair, the school will turn the workers in Xingyue Bay into a group of literate workers, and the farmland must be completed before the frozen soil turns into mud.
It is located in the eastern part of Xingyue Bay. Although the snowfield flattened by the snow tide in the north is tempting, the druid has not returned yet.
Winter is coming to an end, and the frost giants are returning to the snowy mountains...
Next came shipbuilding, road paving, and more houses.
The dozens of pounds of delicious sea fish caught every day can no longer satisfy the public's appetite. As a future port town, Xingyue Bay must also have boats, and fishing will become a rare industry in Xingyue Bay besides cement.
Then paving a road from Xingyue Bay to Breeze City should have been the highest priority, but Xingyue Bay is too far from Breeze City, so it can only be done slowly.
The existing houses are enough to accommodate all the people in the territory, but they need more houses to avoid a population explosion in the spring.
At this time, the knight captain arrived and expressed his readiness to maintain order.
"Where are our reserve guards?"
Annan and Ingrid were about to go to the square, and as soon as they went out they saw guards wearing cotton armor.
"They're all getting rid of their reserve titles."
After nearly five months of elimination and selection, one hundred citizens officially became guards.
Arriving at the square in front of the low hill, Annan opened the portal and asked Francois and the new citizens on the other side to go home - the neat streets, exquisite houses and the distant coast made them cry and laugh, and then went straight to
beach--
But the rough gravel and frozen bay froze them.
Xingyue Bay is more beautiful than imagined, but the bay is not...
"It's winter now, and the bay will become beautiful in summer..." Annan had no choice but to find an excuse, planning to let the cavalry look for high-quality sea sand... I wonder what the quality of the gravel in Glacier Port is like?
The settlement of the new citizens was left to Francois, Annan, Fast, Bronzebeard, and Evelyn who came after hearing the news. They returned to the house and told the story of their battle of wits and courage with the rat men.
Save Murat, learn the secret of the magic ring, exchange the ring for Lady Winter's protection, film "Betal's Redemption" under the eyes of the Diatra family, earn nearly 10,000 gold coins and run back to Xingyue Bay

Annan's story is quite exciting, but the dwarf is surprised: "Where are the rat men?"
