Family factions and heirs compete for power, and Annan Reeves is no exception. However, because he was ostracized and not taken seriously by his family because he was a minor, Annan Reeves, who couldn't bear it, wanted to pray to the devil for strength——
The blue dragon's rough whisper interrupted the trainee devil's reverie:
"Devil, standing in front of you is the Guardian of the North, Lord of Star-Moon Bay, Nemesis of the Rat Men, King of the North, Annan Reeves."
Annan looked up in surprise and saw the red ghost floating happily - the introduction of the blue dragon came from it.
"King of the North, Brudonna greets you." The flame relief caressed its chest to express respect: "What do you need?"
"I want a contract witnessed by the devil."
Annan told that the apprentice devil made a contract: Xingyue Bay will hand over the north of the Glacier River to the druids to restore the forest, and they are not allowed to cut down at will, and the druids will cultivate crops for Xingyue Bay.
"Need to set a trap for you?"
"unnecessary."
The contract written in Common Language was quickly completed and presented on the flame relief. Next it was the blue dragon's turn:
"Please help me check the loopholes in the contract."
Staring at the contract with amber-like dragon eyes, he soon discovered a strange text - the entire text was written in extremely tiny cursive script: The devil has the right to cancel the contract.
"This is in case both parties to the contract want to cancel the contract, but since you can't accept it..."
The trainee devil changed this part, and then the blue dragon discovered that the decorative pattern was in ancient Hellai language, which means: This contract requires every human being to pay the devil a reward over the years.
"I thought we could become friends."
Annan saw the cunning of devils, and deception is their innate talent - the apprentice devil who was exposed remained calm: "Of course we can be friends."
“How am I going to get paid?”
"We collect all rewards, emotions, memories, treasures."
"How much gold does a contract cost?"
But the trainee devil refused and said: "Hell doesn't need gold coins."
"Gold coins are not considered treasure?"
"Of course, but you don't care about gold coins, right?"
The devil's price comes from what the trader values. One gold coin from the blue dragon is enough...
Thinking of a gold coin, Annan knew what to trade for. He asked Red Ghost to bring a recording magic stone and handed it to the flame relief: "How about using it in exchange for a contract?"
Annan doesn't know what will happen if the devils watch "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower". But there should be the first fan from hell?
"It is a precious thing..."
The apprentice devil stared at the record magic stone and agreed to the exchange.
As Annan threw the magic stone into the flames, a clean and effective devil's contract gradually condensed from the burning flames.
Annan caught the devil's contract that was warm and exuded a sulfurous smell, and then asked the red ghost to bring the tree man druid.
"I'm waiting for your next call." The trainee devil said goodbye to Annan.
"I hope there will be less deception between us next time." Annan said, and the flame relief completely dissipated.
Soon after, the tree man druid appeared in the blue dragon's lair.
"Hello, Your Excellency Blue Dragon." greeted the tree druid who saw the blue dragon.
Druids often deal with dragons, including blue dragons. They know clearly that if you see a blue dragon, there must be other blue dragons around...
Ilymaya raised her head proudly.
Everything went smoothly next. Annan and the tree druid signed each other's names on the contract, and let the effective contract burn back to hell.
The druids took back the forest, and Annan got a good harvest.
After the tree druid left, Annan fulfilled the promise of five gold coins and did not forget to complain about the poverty of Xingyue Bay again.
The blue dragon held two gold coins smaller than its fingertips in its claws, as if painting a new home, and placed the two gold coins on the bare rocks.
Annan, who was holding the remaining three gold coins, raised his head in confusion.
"You still owe me three gold coins!"
…
There is nothing new in Xingyue Bay. In other words, there is something new every day.
On this day, the citizens of Xingyue Bay discovered that some foreign figures appeared in the wheat fields that had not yet broken. The guards called them druids. It is said that they can produce 1,800 pounds per wheat field - oh, now it is
One thousand eight hundred kilograms.
The women said that druids planting trees also appeared on the other side of the glacier river.
In the school, the teacher of the newly opened agriculture class is a tree druid, teaching the students how to fertilize, how to fertilize the soil, what kind of irrigation, and how to get rid of insects.
And Glacier Port - Annan defrauded the hard workers, which greatly damaged their vitality. The construction of the port was temporarily suspended. Not long after it was restored, before there was time to retaliate against Xingyue Bay, the second wave of revenge from Xingyue Bay came unexpectedly.
Three five-meter-tall tree men broke into Glacier Port and destroyed the port, bringing the progress of Glacier Port almost back to the beginning.
It is said that Gema was so angry that the old housekeeper came to Xingyue Bay in person. Annan met him with a confused expression: "You have angered the forest and caused the druids to retaliate. What does it have to do with Xingyue Bay?"
?”
"Your Excellency Annan, when I came here I saw the druid in your wheat field..."
In addition to being sulky, the old housekeeper was also in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that druids were actually helping humans...
"You must have seen it wrong..."
Annan said this, and he and the old housekeeper came to the wheat field - the scarecrow in a cloak stood next to the wheat seedlings that were just ankle high.
The old housekeeper looked around the wheat field, and there were only farmers plowing in the wheat field. He had no choice but to talk about Annan's robbery of the hard workers.
"You hired them, and we hired them at a better price. This is normal. We haven't even set foot in your territory."
Next, the guard captain led the recruits to frequently wander around the southern border, because Glacier Port also did the same. However, the soldiers in Glacier Port had to work, but the soldiers in Xingyue Bay did not.
Their progress easily surpassed Glacier Harbor,
At the same time, the port and shipyard built at the same time have been completed, and several sampans and wooden boats have begun to be built.
Annan commissioned Olmedo and the Lion Mercenary Group to search for shipbuilders in the north a month ago. Just being able to float cannot support the voyage to Xingyue Bay. They need a real cargo sailing ship.
When such a ship of unknown origin appears in the southern seaport, those merchants, sea tribes, and pirates will know that there is a seaport in the northern sea at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
A few days later, some sea fish quietly appeared in the market in Breeze City.
The people of Breeze City quickly learned that this was shipped from Xingyue Bay. It was the "New Year's dinner" eaten by the prisoners in "Betal's Redemption". Fish is also meat, and not only is it cheaper than pigs, but it also tastes better.
Much better—the hundreds of pounds of fish that arrive each day are quickly snapped up by people looking for a taste.
