Family factions and heirs compete for power, and Annan Reeves is no exception. But because he was still a minor, he was ostracized by his family and was not taken seriously, and Annan Reeves, who couldn't stand it, wanted to pray to the devil for strength-

The blue dragon's muffled whisper interrupted the apprentice devil's reverie:

"Devil, standing in front of you is the Guardian of the North, the Lord of Starmoon Bay, the Nezumi Buster, the 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.

"Greetings from Brudona, King of the North." The flame relief touches the chest and pays respect: "What do you need, please?" ”

"I want a contract of testimony from the devil."

Annan told that the apprentice devil had made a contract that Xingyue Bay would hand over the north of the glacier river to the druids to restore the forest, and that the druids would cultivate crops for Xingyue Bay.

"Need to set a trap for you?"

"No, I don't."

The deed, written in the lingua franca, was quickly completed and presented on a flame relief. Next it's the turn of the Blue Dragon:

"Please help me check for loopholes in the contract."

The amber dragon eyes stared at the contract, and it didn't take long to spot a strange text—an entire text written in tiny floral script: The devil has the right to cancel the contract.

"This is in response to the fact that both parties want to cancel the contract, but since you can't accept it......"

The apprentice devil changed this part, and then the blue dragon found out that the decoration was in the ancient Hilai language, which means that this contract requires the payment of the devil to the devil every human year.

"I thought we could make friends."

Annan saw the cunning of the devil, and deception is their innate talent - the exposed apprentice devil still calmly: "Of course we can be friends." ”

"How do I get paid?"

"We take everything in payment, emotions, memories, treasures."

"How much kinnar does a contract cost?"

But the apprentice devil refused, saying, "Hell doesn't need gold. ”

"Gold coins are not treasures?"

"Of course it is, but you don't care about gold, do you?"

The devil's offer comes from the things that the trader values, and it is enough to exchange it for a gold coin for the blue dragon......

Thinking of a gold coin, Annan knew what to trade it for. He asked the Red Wraith to bring a Recording Philosopher's Stone and handed it to the flame relief, "How about it in exchange for a contract?" ”

What will happen to let the devils watch "The Fall of the Mage Tower", Annan does not know. But there should be the first fan from hell?

"It's a precious thing......"

The apprentice devil stared at the Philosopher's Stone and agreed to the exchange.

As Annan threw the Philosopher's Stone into the flames, a clean, potent devil's pact coalesced from the burning flames.

Annan catches the warm, sulfur-scented devil's pact, and then asks the Red Ghost to bring the Treant Druid.

"I'm waiting for your next call." The apprentice devil said goodbye to Annan.

"Hopefully there will be less deception between us next time." Annan said that the flame relief completely dissipated.

Soon after, the Treant Druid appeared in the Blue Dragon's Lair.

"Hello, Your Excellency Blue Dragon." The druids who saw the blue dragon greeted.

The druids often deal with dragons, including blue dragons. It clearly knows that if you see a blue dragon, there must be other blue dragons around......

Elimoas looked up proudly.

What followed couldn't have gone a long way. Annan and the Treant Druid sign each other's names to the contract and let the contract burn back to Hell.

The druids recaptured the forest, and Annan reaped a bountiful harvest.

After the Druid left, Annan fulfilled the five gold coins he had promised, and did not forget to complain about the poverty of Xingyue Bay.

The blue dragon's claws twisted two gold coins smaller than its fingertips, as if painting a new home, placing the two gold coins on the bare rock.

Annan, holding the remaining three gold coins, looked up in bewilderment.

"You still owe me three gold coins!"

……

There is nothing new in Starmoon Bay. Or maybe it's something new every day.

On this day, the lords of Starmoon Bay noticed the presence of alien figures in the unbroken wheat fields, called druids by the guards, who were said to produce 1,800 pounds per wheat field - oh, 1,800 catties now.

The women said that on the other side of the glacier river, druids planted trees.

At the school, the teacher of the new agriculture class is a tree man druid, who teaches the students how to make fertilizer, how to fertile soil, what kind of irrigation, and how to get rid of insects.

and the Glacier Port - Annan deceived the hard laborers and caused them to lose their vitality, the construction of the port was suspended for a while, and it was not long before it could recover before it had time to retaliate against Xingyue Bay, and the second wave of revenge in Xingyue Bay came unexpectedly.

Three five-meter-tall treants broke into the Glacier Harbor and destroyed it, bringing the progress of the Glacier Harbor almost back to the beginning.

It is said that Gema was furious, and the old butler came to Xingyue Bay in person, and Annan met him with a blank expression: "What does it have to do with Xingyue Bay that you have angered the forest and caused the druids to take revenge?" ”

"Your Excellency Annan, I saw a druid in your wheat field when I came......"

The old butler was so angry that he couldn't imagine that the druids were actually helping humanity......

"You must have read the wrong ......"

So said this, and went with the old butler to the wheat field, where a cloak scarecrow stood beside the wheat seedlings that were just ankle high.

The old steward looked around the wheat field, and only the farmer was plowing it. He had no choice but to talk about Annan's plundering of the hard labor.

"You've hired them, and it's normal that we're hiring them at a better price. We haven't even set foot in your territory. ”

Next, the captain of the guard and his recruits frequently wandered the southern border, as Glacier Harbor did the same. However, the soldiers of Glacier Harbor have to work, but the soldiers of Starmoon Bay do not.

Their progress easily surpassed that of Glacier Harbor,

The shipyards in the harbor and shipyard built at the same time have been completed, and several sampans and wooden boats have begun to be built.

A month ago, Annan had commissioned Olmedo and the Lion Mercenary Regiment to search for shipbuilders in the north. Just being able to float is not enough to support the voyage of Xingyue Bay, they need a real cargo sailboat.

When such a ship of unknown origin appeared in the southern harbor, those maritime merchants, sea tribes, and pirates would know that there was a harbor in the northern sea at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

A few days later, some fish quietly appeared at the market in Breeze City.

The people of Breeze soon learned that it was shipped from Starmoon Bay, and that this was the "New Year's Feast" that the prisoners ate in "Bertal Redemption". Fish is also meat, and not only is it cheaper than pigs, but it also tastes much better – people who want to try it quickly snap up the hundreds of pounds of fish that are delivered every day.
