Section 12.New Lords
The dissipating rift ended a brief reunion between Annan and Olmedo.
Annan is going to invite Olmedo to Xingyue Bay next time, as for why next time......
"Ingrid, let the craftsmen meet at the lord's mansion." Annan passed by the ugly wooden house that had humiliated him and returned to the "mansion" of the city lord.
Reserved craftsmen followed, and the ogre's foresight kept the big house from being crowded at all.
"On behalf of Xingyue Bay, I would like to welcome you all here." Annan gave a speech according to etiquette, but it didn't take long, "You have seen the situation in Xingyue Bay...... Do you guys have any ideas? β
The craftsmen hesitated, and one speculator stood up at this moment: "I have never seen such a unique house, like a dream, full of innocence and art...... The whole territory is at one with natureβ"
Most of the craftsmen showed shame, and a few regretted that they were a little slower.
Annan thoughtfully: "Do you think it's not bad?" β
The craftsman with a delicate goatee flattered: "It's a work of art." β
"What's your name?"
"Grosso, lord!"
Annan said to the captain of the guard outside the door: "Remove Grosso from the ranks of the craftsmen who designed the house, give him an axe and let him cut down trees." β
The pale-faced goatee craftsman was taken out of the house, and Annan looked around at the silent craftsman.
"I don't want to listen to flattering and pompous compliments. When I came to Xingyue Bay, it was late autumn, and because I didn't have time to build beautiful and practical houses, I let the people build houses freely. β
Annan first shirked the responsibility, and then said: "I invite you to build beautiful houses for Xingyue Bay, if you can't do it, it's okay, Xingyue Bay is full of places to employ people." β
Does it mean that there is a lack of people to cut down trees?
Grosso's misery is vividly remembered, and the craftsmen, of course, will not refuse.
Lord's mansions, dwellings, blacksmith shops, warehouses, shops, latrines, docks, walls...... There are many types of buildings that need to be built,
The highest priority was given to the lord's residence, the dock, and the wall, but Annan erased the lord's mansion and put the road first.
Not only because this log house is quite comfortable for Annan to live in, they have to pave the road or roadbed before the soil freezes, otherwise the whole camp will be turned into mud next year.
There's nothing better than cement for paving, and even Breeze City is dominated by stone roads, with the rest being dirt roads, which turn into foul-smelling puddles of sludge during the rainy season.
Annan was going to have a five-man team look for limestone along the coast, and as for what he needed and something that Annan couldn't remember...... He plans to find it and give it to Michael to develop - mages usually dabble in potions and alchemy, and as we all know, alchemy can be understood as changing matter, so cement is also alchemy.
As for the price of alchemy...... Although the income of "The Fall of the Mage's Tower" has become stagnant, and the theater and several other screening houses now only have two or three hundred gold coins per day, the total income has exceeded 20,000 gold coins.
It is said that a few days ago, at the meeting of the city lord's palace, Olmedo presented data that silenced the councillors and nobles - 6% of Breeze City's tax revenue this year was contributed by Annan. Or rather, contributed by the "Fall of the Mage Tower".
It's not that no one tries to imitate, and the nimble minds imitate it after seeing "The Fall of the Mage Tower", such as "The Fall of the Mage Tower", "The Fall of the Mage Tower", and "Jack Ruth's One Night Love", while the slightly clever ones put those popular stage plays and epic stories into magical images, but they don't know what camera language, storyboard technology, montage, and even can't edit.
The shoddy production made the theater owner refuse to release it, and Annan was not interested in getting to know the competition.
And because the ticket price of 1 silver coin and the audience are not much, it has lost a lot. I had to raise the price -
10 Credits? Then why didn't they go and watch "The Fall of the Mage Tower" ten times?
The guy who didn't want to afford the record Philosopher's Stone that could only be used ten times ran to ask about the price of the Eternal Philosopher's Stone-
1000 gold?
So why don't they buy cotton?
Speaking of cotton, the "Susan Spinning Machine" made by the King of the North is the main culprit in the skyrocketing price of cotton, making cotton clothes affordable to the damned poor.
Dozens of minutes of discussion allowed Annan and the craftsmen to finalize the plan for Xingyue Bay. The building is mainly made of stone, supplemented by wood.
Annan has a soft spot for the sloping roof buildings of the Breeze City, and it is also suitable for the snowfall in the winter in the Northland.
They had a long winter to finish the work.
Leaving the matter to Francois to co-ordinate, Annan looked at Ingrid who was left behind: "Tell me about Gema Diatra." β
The Dyatra family is in Betar City, except for Gema Diatra, whom Annan knows is the second son of the family, and this Gema rarely leaves the family, and even never leaves Betar City.
Gema Diatra is described as a gentle, approachable aristocrat.
Annan couldn't combine the word with the underbeaten face, so Olmedo was puzzled when he learned of Gema Diatra's performance in Starmoon Bay.
"Is he an elite mage?"
"Gema, he's just an ordinary person."
Annan recalls a few low-ring spells that night at the headland...... Gema Diatra hiding 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 made a high-profile provocation to a king of the North, opening up a territory nearby after asking for his territory to no avail...... What does he want to do?
"It can't be that the second son of the undesirable second son awakened as a spellcaster because of the soul hidden in the magic ring, and left the oath of thirty years east of the Puroni River and thirty years west of the Purney River after the humiliation of the family, and followed the guidance of the soul to the Star Moon Bay, which has precious resources, but found that it had been occupied by others, so he had to rob the territory."
Annan thought irresponsibly.
Maybe even a girl, Augusta can hide Olmedo's identity for twenty years, and so can the Diatra family.
"Thirty years of the eastern ...... of the Puroni River?"
""Law Breaks the Sky" is also my work."
"I'll find a chance to read it." Ingrid nodded.
In any case, Annan should be prepared. Gema's "Snow Mountain Harbor" is so close to Xingyue Bay that cavalry can raid in just one morning, and trucks can only spend a day.
Ingrid leaves the house, and the new consuls have to make arrangements. Annan looked out the window and saw the arrows of fire draped in orange dusk coming from the east.
Sulonde finally replied:
[Bad Annan, stinky Annan:
You're finished! The eldest sister is angry, I want to reply to the letter was stopped by her, you shouldn't hide it from the family, the eldest sister is very sad and I am also disappointed, but now only I can help you, say something to comfort the eldest sister, she likes long poems about violet flowers!
And, Starmoon Bay? Have you been deceived by the stinky woman of the elves! γ
Annan read it many times, pondered it deeply, and wrote a reply.
