Verse 26 Let go of the imagination
The bay has been transformed from a snowforest to a vast snowfield, and the wide, straight streets are lined with delicate and non-rigid new houses, with sloping roofs covered with the light snow that had fallen last night.
Children play on the frozen sea during the warmest part of the day, and adults in the distance carve out territory and build houses along the snowy forest.
When spring comes, how bustling this seaside town will be.
Is it too late to ask Andrew Luna for money at this time?
The cavalry hovering around the perimeter of Xingyue Bay spotted them, and the captain of the guard led a small team towards this side.
"Uncle Blom."
"Long time no see, Sveane, lads."
Blom greeted him familiarly and told Annan, "He is my nephew." ”
Annan was not surprised that Blom and Sveen were similar when they stood together.
The carriage drove towards the town, but the beauty of the distance lifted as it approached—the wide, flat roads still covered with rough gravel embankments, the empty houses on the streets lackluster and the old camps that had been blocked by the town were revealed.
"Holy God! What are you doing! ”
A rough scream streaked across the empty town, and the stocky craftsman like a tree stump rushed to the front of the team like a rolling stone, feeling sorry for the paved roadbed.
"Uh...... I'm sorry, but the cement is almost done. ”
"That thing called cement is best useful! Hurry up and get off my roadbed! ”
Annan obediently obeyed. Xingyue Bay has changed from a camp when it left to a brand new town, thanks to the contribution of the short and fat craftsmen.
Back at the camp, the friendly and ugly log house appeared in front of him, and Annan sighed that he was familiar with the big house without feeling ugly. The fireplace burned warmly, and during the two months of his absence, the big house became the office of Ingrid and Francois.
Francois and Ingrid arrived, but the captain of the guard had not yet left.
"Is there anything else?"
The captain of the guard nodded: "Do you remember the people who escaped?" ”
"Someone left again?"
"There are a few of the lords, and we let them go according to your orders. The problem isn't them, though. The first to flee led to Glacier Harbor. ”
"Is he from Glacier Harbor or did he run there?"
"I don't know."
They did not go undercover in Glacier Harbor. Annan looked at Blom, "Olme doesn't have a lot of masters. He said.
It's a pity that Dina stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise a member of the Shadow Brotherhood would have been enough to find out the truth.
"It's okay, it's just a consular."
The longer it drags on, the greater the advantage of Starmoon Bay, and Annan expects that when Gema really comes to find trouble, he will face the scene of the Elemental Legion-
Thinking of this, Annan activated the magic ring, and a wind element appeared in the teleportation array. It's a pity it's not the sixth water elemental.
Let it go out and play with the sea breeze, Annan went to the open space outside the big house to cast a low-level summoning spell, took Aunt Susan and them back to Starmoon Bay, and then asked the ogre to find Michael.
Starmoon Bay wasn't wheelchair accessible yet, so Lindy helped Mr. Victor.
"Nice view." Fast commented that he really liked it, "Where's my tavern, boy." ”
"It's not built yet."
Annan summoned the Humpty Dumpty Craftsman and asked him to bring a map of Starmoon Bay to customize for these people: Fast's request was that the tavern must be coastal.
"When the port of the future is built, the tavern will be filled 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 chose a vacant lot next to it, he didn't want Evelyn to hang out with the stinky sailors all day. Evelyn has been spoiled by Annan once!
Annan correspondingly carved out an area by the sea, which would be Andrew Luna's tavern.
The sea breeze was damp and corroded wood and paper, so Mr. Victor's library was also located next to the Lord's Mansion. Annan asked artisans to add daylight when designing the library; Aunt Susan's family, Annan wanted them to live in the lord's mansion, but Uncle Hollin said that it was not good, and that they only needed to build a house next to the mansion; The howler came over and wanted a felt tent. Annan refused: "You are my subordinate, you can live in the mansion", and then graciously agreed to decorate its room in the beast style.
And the Elemental Legion...... Annan asked Humpty Dumpty Craftsman to dig an underground hall under the lord's mansion to hide the elements.
At this time, the ogre returns with Michael Carol.
"The cement you want."
Michael handed Annan a piece of cement, a piece of fine sand, a piece of water and a mold,
"What is this?" Francois asked.
Annan blended them, stirred them, and put them into molds: "The foundation of the future of Xingyue Bay." ”
Wood decays over decades, and concrete stands for hundreds of years.
And Xingyue Bay needs city walls. The ice wall will melt in the summer, and the nezumi won't be stupid enough to attack Starmoon Bay in the winter. There's nothing better than cement for a solid wall.
It takes time for the cement to set, so let the Humpty Dumpty craftsman see the results tomorrow, and then allocate half of the people to the mining area to dig limestone, Annan briefly asked about what had happened in the territory in the past two months.
For example, the tracks of the gnolls that wander outside the bay after snowfall, but as the weather gets colder, they migrate south – perhaps into Gema's Glacier Bay.
Annan then drove Ingrid away and asked Francois to bring a box of gold coins.
Should 1000 gold make up for the mistake?
Thinking so, Annan unleashed a low-level summoning technique.
A portal appeared in front of Annan: an alluring golden hue emerged from the other side of the rift, the priest and the church.
Annan canceled the spell before the priest could look back...... The King of the North almost became a thief who stole the Church idols.
"We didn't see anything."
Annan and the equally frightened Francois said.
Francois had a nightmare that night, if he had known that Annan was plotting to be the goddess of wealth, he would definitely have escaped from Starmoon Bay. Annan slept well until the early hours of the morning, when he was awakened by the reverberating chisel sound.
"What's going on out there?"
The guard said: "The workers are handling the manure. ”
The sound of a pickaxe reminded Annan of his days in the haunted gold mines.
The captain of the guard said that the feces were frozen like stones, and that even if they were poured with boiling water, they would freeze again before they could melt, and that the smell would make people vomit out the dinner they had eaten three days ago. Every day, dozens of lords dig a morning—
Annan was thoughtful, and his black eyes gradually fell to the water element.
……
Whoop -
The water balls made by the water element fall into the improvised ditch and turn into a turbulent stream of water rushing towards the manure pond.
"That's it."
Annan taught Humpty Dumpty craftsmen to upgrade pit public toilets to flushing public toilets, easily solving the problems that had puzzled the territory for a long time. It's just that Francois stopped talking.
"What do you want to say?"
"This water elemental ...... Should it be elite? Are we sure we want to put it here? ”
"Don't let reality cloud our imagination." Annan said, "Magic is not only for fighting. ”
Anyway, there is no such organization in this world as the Elemental Conservation Society.
Probably not.
