"Wait a minute."

Olmedo shouted to Annan, who wanted to run away: "You ran to the City Lord's Mansion without saying what you ran to the City Lord's Mansion to avoid the people of Breeze City. ”

Annan suppressed his fear of the elven mentor: "I need money and people. ”

"What?"

"I need aid and people."

"The money your 'Magic Image' has earned these days is about a month's worth of taxes in Breezy City, and I was just talking to the tax collectors about a bill to tax Magic Images......

"Taxation ......"

The noun alone made Annan's flesh ache.

"It's a must, Annan, and you don't want magical images to be heavily taxed in other towns, do you? We'd better settle on a tax bill in Breezy and send it to the royal capital, and the bill will pass through the towns of the kingdom only at the rate we have set. ”

"What is the tax rate?"

"The basic tax rate of the theater is a low tax of 10%~20%, and magic images are among them."

Also in the range of Annam acceptance.

"That's why you should help me."

Annan counted that he was involved in conspiracy, such as "locked up in a dungeon", "forced to kill five nezumi independently", "cracked the nezumi conspiracy", etc.

Building a territory is a bottomless pit...... 1,000 gold coins can be used to open up a village, 10,000 gold coins can be used to build a town, 100,000 gold coins can be used to build a town, 1,000,000 gold coins can be used to build a city, or a small mage tower can be added to 10,000,000 gold coins.

There are only a handful of means for Annan to make money, and the amount of money Ganges sand is needed.

Although it is a bit shameless to say directly, it is not chilling to ask for money.

"I was corrupted into a nezumi by your father......"

"Didn't the Mage Tower say that that particular spell just allowed your charm to affect the nezumi?"

"But my mind has been affected by the spell to this day......"

"I remember you used to be like that, and you always had a longing for the Countess—"

"How do you insult the innocence of the King of the North?"

Olmedo liked to talk to Annan like this, but she still had official business to do: "I don't know the situation in Glacier Bay yet, you can tell me about it first." ”

As soon as Annan talked about Starmoon Bay, Olmedo interrupted him: "Starmoon Bay...... You really don't like Irilanzer? ”

"You and ogres must have a lot in common."

Annan continued to talk about the situation and territorial scope of Xingyue Bay, as well as the dangers encountered:

"The battle between the white dragon and the frost giant caused an avalanche, and the sea was filled with miles of dragons, and the gnolls of the forest were like rats, and the indescribable existence of the sleeping was waiting for me to sleep......"

The two who traveled with Annan were on the way back to the royal capital, and two of them were his subordinates, and no one could break him.

It's just that I can't fool Olmedo: "I asked the guards to go to Xingyue Bay with you?" ”

“……”

"It's too late to reveal the truth."

"Well, it's actually a fox catching a snow hare."

"Where's Gon?"

"A school of fat fish." Annan gradually sank into the couch.

"Gnolls?"

Annan raised his head again and said in a loud voice, "We met a group of gnolloll scouts at night, and they have a leader. ”

"Waiting for you to fall asleep?"

Annan leaned back on the sofa: "We left Xingyue Bay overnight. ”

Olmedo sorted out the environment around Starmoon Bay: "The main threat is the Gnolls, but there should be other threats to the north and south...... "How deep is the bay?" ”

"I don't know, because we left Starmoon Bay overnight."

Olmedo refused to let up on the matter of aid, and Annan had no choice but to shift his focus to the people. This time, Olmedo was generous: he could take in as many people as he wanted.

"What about the outcasts?" Olmedo asked suddenly.

If Annan is willing to accept the homeless, he can give 1 gold nar for each homeless person he accepts......

"That's what I thought too...... "The soft cushions made Annan feel a little tired, "but I don't want to absorb the displaced people who have committed crimes." ”

"Rest assured, most of these displaced people are homeless people who have their homes and farmlands destroyed by the rat people." A sense of identity emerged in his blue eyes, "Annan, every time you absorb a homeless, Breeze City can support 2 gold nars in Xingyue Bay. ”

When it comes to aiding Annan, he is not sleepy: "Then I will first ask for a thousand displaced people." ”

"Are you sure?"

“…… I'm not sure. ”

Annan's advantage is that he is not short of money for the time being, and his disadvantage is that he does not know how to be a lord yet.

"Actually, I'm not denying you, but I don't think these people are enough."

Perhaps alarmist, or perhaps to create a sense of crisis, Olmedo told Annan solemnly: "This winter is the last time for you and me. ”

Olmedo's earnestness infected Annan: "What do you know? ”

"It's just some disturbing speculation...... The North has been unharmed for hundreds of years, but their sudden attack has exposed a centuries-old intrigue woven beneath Breeze. ”

"The nezumi may invade in a big way next year, Annan, do you want to experience another attack?"

"I don't want to go through that a second time."

"So you're going to run your own territory."

Annan thought of the two-month countdown to the apocalypse forecast. It was the middle of winter, and it was unlikely that the rat people would attack...... What else could it be?

Olmedo summoned his personal guards, asked him to move his afternoon duties into the evening, and began to teach Annan how to be a good lord:

Xingyue Bay must first explore resources.

Gem Mines, Potions Lands and some rare minerals are the best, followed by gold mines and specialties. Then there's the construction of the territory. Ensuring the survival of the people is the most basic step, and the next step is to attract professionals and churches.

"You'd better invite some churches to settle in, it will give the realm the protection of the gods, and the goddess of wealth is a good neutral deity."

The harsh environment and sparse population certainly make many gods reluctant to focus on the north, and there are only some mainstream and ancient gods, but it also makes the north less than the god wars that are frequently started in the south in order to compete for believers.

About business. Starmoon Bay is as remote as Breeze, but the bay makes up for it – the bad news is that it takes a lot of money to build the harbor, and the good news is that Annam has a lot of money.

Annan, who was drowsy, said: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." ”

Olmedo's eyes drooped slightly because of Annan's emotion:

"When we become lords, we are responsible for our territory and our people......"

It was discovered that Annan had fallen asleep at some point.

I thought that the boy was on the road four out of five days. The blue eyes softened, and he was holding a blanket to cover Annan.

"Olmedo, you're so tight......," Annan murmured dreamily.

Olmedo froze.

"You're so nervous, Breeze City's money......"
