Section 75 Wash away the shame

"Don't you have anything to do?"

After Annan walked in front of him for the twelfth time, Ingrid, who was annoyed enough, said.

"Nope."

Ingrid said bluntly: "The city of Abundance is still an uncultivated pure land, you can go there and take risks. โ€

"I'm not going!"

Because there were people who went in place of Annan: Joan and West.

Annan asked Ingrid to call Joan and West to stop bothering her, and then asked Joan and West who would like to go to Plenty City to do business. Mainly to promote the Philosopher's Stone and introduce Starmoon Bay to Rich City.

"Leave it to me, Boss Annan!" West patted his chest and promised.

Annan handed West 20 Philosopher's Stones. As the first active trade in Xingyue Bay, Annan found the lion mercenary group he had cooperated with and hired an elite and four professionals to protect him.

Often, most problems can be solved by elite professionals.

It's just that after arranging for West's departure, Annan fell into a state of having nothing to do.

Go to Elimoas...... Forget it. It may be that the melting snow has made Xingyue Bay wet, and the blue dragon is not very good-tempered these days.

Annan, who couldn't sit still, asked the captain of the guard to bring a horse and sneak with him to a hillside south of Xingyue Bay, near Glacier Harbor.

Standing here, Annan could see the scattered houses, the workers who carried the raw materials, the traces of logging everywhere, and the ugly spread of bare tree stumps.

Xingyue Bay is in full swing, while Glacier Harbor is gloomy. The ragged and staggering laborers could guess their toil even if they could not see the silhouette.

As a result of this pressing and construction dozens of days ahead of schedule, the port progress of Glacier Harbor is much faster than that of Xingyue Bay...... But only temporarily. Their workers would not be able to hold out at any time, and the people of Xingyue Bay were in high spirits.

The captain of the guard proposed, "Lord Annan, if you want them to stop their progress, you can induce the laborers to start a riot. โ€

"And then these workers fell victim to our conspiracy?"

Annan is not a bad person, nor is he an aristocrat, he will not do this kind of thing that a politician with a bad ass would do.

The captain of the guard kept his mouth shut, and for him, a group of laborers who were not even civilians died. So he could understand why the lords of Starmoon Bay loved the lord to death.

There is no lord in the entire north who cares more about his people than him.

"So what are you going to do?"

"...... in a different way"

Annan and the captain of the personal guard returned to Xingyue Bay, summoned Francois, and told him and the captain of the personal guard to lead a team of cavalry to do something......

The next day, a cavalry suddenly appeared on the slopes north of Glacier Harbor.

They inspired the Philosopher's Stone to screen "The Fall of the Mage's Tower" to make it difficult for the drudgers working on the beach to concentrate, and promoted the welcome of homeless people in Starmoon Bay at noon near the meal, providing free food and shelter to work.

The guards of Glacier Harbor tried to expel them, but were forced to stop when they were still a few hundred meters from the hillside, because beyond that was the territory of Starmoon Bay.

A liege has the right to dispose of soldiers who trespass into the realm.

Annan's solicitation did not have any effect other than to make the laborers impetuous, and Francois returned with Gemma's words: "He accuses you of plundering the wealth of the Diatra family, and you are still robbing the laborers of Diatra." โ€

Annan was indifferent and asked the captain of the guard to bring twice as many men, while Francois disappeared.

At this time, there was an extra sludge-covered worker among the laborers of Glacier Harbor, and while listening to the other laborers talking about Beibian, he whispered, "I heard that Xingyue Bay is very well treated...... Everyone was well fed, warmly dressed and housed......"

"How is that possible?" There are hard laborers who do not believe.

"Really! Didn't you look at that magic image? How can that be fake! โ€

The seeds of hope were planted in the heart, and this sentiment peaked at lunch: the smell of meat wafting from the distant hillside, and all they had was brown bread and pickles.

"I can't stand it!"

The "laborer" suddenly dropped his iron pickaxe and rushed towards the hillside in the distance.

The soldiers couldn't react and let him and a few of the laborers who ran out rush to the hillside, and then the laborers saw the lucky ones put on new cotton clothes, buried themselves in food, and exclaimed, "It's so delicious."

Some of the laborers tried to escape, but were suppressed by the soldiers. It's just that the grievances don't go away, they just hide......

Of course, Gema also knew, so he sent guards to keep an eye on all the hard laborers.

But the day was fine, and the guards only had to block the busy toilers on the beach. But when night falls, the laborers return to their rooms, and a bonfire rises on the hillside, and "The Redemption of Bertal" continues to be shown.

A pair of prying eyes lit up in front of the window.

Glacier Harbor was not quiet on this night...... In short, when the new day comes, there is half the drudgery to get out of the houseโ€”and the less half is on the hillside.

The captain of the guard led the apprehensive laborers back to Starmoon Bay, and they found that it was as beautiful as it was in the magical image, and that the king of the north had indeed fulfilled his promise and arranged a place to stay.

"Gemar asks you what exactly you want to do." The captain of the guard still brought Gemma's words.

"This kind of thing should be asked to him."

"Are we going to continue?" He asked again.

"Of course."

Gema did nothing and Annan continued to plunder the hard labor, and whatever Gema did, Annan had an excuse to trouble him.

In the next few days, the number of laborers in Glacier Harbor became less and less, and Gema prevented the loss of laborers, and the torture of executing them when they caught them backfired, making the escape of the laborers more and more serious, and even three soldiers defected because of "The Redemption of Beta".

The construction of the glacier port came to a complete standstill.

But the next day, hundreds of guards arrived from the city of Bertal, and these guards, who might have familiar faces, went into battle themselves, and built the harbor faster than before.

Annan stopped there, told the captain of the guard to retreat, and summoned about 800 laborers to the square.

"You can stay here, I can bring your family here, or you can walk hundreds of miles home, but no one can save you if you are recruited by Glacier Harbor."

Annan asked Francois to count their decisions and return to the house to wait for the results.

It didn't take long for Francois to come over. "Did they say yes?" Annan didn't seem so careless.

"Only a few refused."

"Keep an eye on the people who are leaving." Annan suspected that they were Gemma's spies planted in the drudgery.

"I know."

Then count the origins of the laborers: some from Breez, some from Beta, and Plenty of Riches.

Causing some trouble to Gema and increasing the population of Xingyue Bay, Annan, who finally got rid of the name of "nothing to do", can calm down and read some books-

Just as Annan was thinking this, the druids finally arrived.
