【King of the North, Annan Qi:

Child, I received your book.

It's a world full of innocence, thank you for the gift. I especially like the story of the three little pigs. I appreciate the cleverness of the third piglet, the decisiveness of the second piglet. But the first piglet was not without merit. If the big bad wolf hadn't appeared, it would have saved a lot of effort than the two little pigs.

The first piglet just lacked vision, and I don't think such stories serve an educational purpose. So, I spent a few days thinking of a new story about the Three Little Pigs:

Once upon a time there were three little pigs, and they came to the grassland where they heard that there were big bad wolves. The first little pig said that there was no big bad wolf at all, and built a thatched hut out of thatch. The second pig didn't believe that the big bad wolf was so powerful, so he only picked up firewood from the forest and built a wooden house. The third pig was afraid of the big bad wolf, so he built a stone house out of solid stone.

One day, the animals in the steppe said that the wolf was coming, and the third pig saw the shadow of the big bad wolf, and he ran to tell the other two piglets. The first pig said not to worry, and the second pig was worried about it, so he ran to the neighborhood of the first piglet's house one night, only to see the big bad wolf appear and knock down the thatched house of the first piglet. In order not to be eaten, the first piglet said that it also had two younger brothers and was willing to bring the big bad wolf over.

The second little pig couldn't help but rush out to question the first little pig, only to be found by the first little pig and the big bad wolf, who finally ran away, but was bitten by the big bad wolf and was about to die. The second piglet ran to the stone house with the last of his strength and told the third piglet the news.

In the end, the third piglet, who knew the big bad wolf, no longer believed the first piglet, and hid in the safety of the stone house, allowing the first pig to say nothing and not open the door. As a result, the first piglet was eaten by the angry big bad wolf.

The despicable get the consequences, the noble give their lives, and the wise get the answer.

How about such a story?

I look forward to the publication of this fairy tale fable, and I hope that one day, I can go to Xingyue Bay to get the book in person.

Knowing that the Teacher-like Khalice Knight was unlucky, Annan's fingers turned white.

"I think you guys too well......" Annan muttered to himself.

Putting down the letter from the Knight of the Eighth Grail, Annan asked the maid to call Ingrid, and then borrowed the absolutely loyal Dead from Olmedo to open the door to the new Primordial.

"Why did you contact in advance today?" Francois wondered.

"Let's go to the sea closest to the royal capital, and everyone will come back, leaving only the necessary crew."

"What's going on?"

"Not sure ...... yet"

Olmedo sent the family deadman, who was Tina's student. Annan did not despise the dead man as an ordinary inhabitant of the street, and handed him a fire raven and a horse, and told him to set off quickly for the royal capital after landing on the shore. As long as the nezumi don't suddenly emerge from the ground like in Breeze City, he will rush to the royal capital before the nezumi.

Annan gave him only two tasks: to bring back the dynamics of the royal city, and to find out the whereabouts of the Eighth Holy Grail Knight.

Francois and some of the crew returned, and for a long time to come, the new Initial would not leave the sea, and Fast remained firmly on board. Annan did not poke him.

"Why are the Grail Knights so vulnerable?"

After the two portals closed, Annan asked Ingrid in a muttered to himself.

"Why do you think so? The Knights of the Grail are blessed by the goddess of the lake, and each of them is like a walking Sage. ”

"But all the gods lost touch."

"Even so, they are legendary."

Annan did everything he could. The Knight of the Holy Grail knew, the King of Gold knew, and so did several of the Kings of the North in the Kingdom of Rikaner.

Like his letter to Mel: a guard can defend his village, but not the country.

Now, the guard is going to defend his village.

No matter how high the walls are, no one can do it. The number of guards has expanded from 500 to a staggering 2,000, one-fifth of the population of Starmoon Bay. This is simply not possible in other towns, but it is very simple in Xingyue Bay, where the majority of the population comes from the refugee poor. Annan's savings barely enough to take 2,000 guards out of production, but in order to prepare for the future, Annan let them train in the morning and still do their own thing in the afternoon.

The blacksmith shop of Copperbeard is in full swing. But she and her apprentice couldn't build a pair of armor in a day, so she took the money to buy it in Breeze...... You can afford up to 2,000 pairs of leather armor. Annan thought about it, and asked Yili Gravel to build a hydraulic mill by the glacier river, and forcibly thin the wrought iron to make plate armor, which could withstand the stabbing of the pile of wooden spears and broken swords of the rat people.

But two heavily armed soldiers can't beat a professional. If you want to change the quality of the guards, you still have to rely on gunpowder. The elven mentor hasn't returned, so he should be migrating with his kindred. After Annan offered Michael another 100 gold coins, he promised to improve the gunpowder first.

Annan's requirements are not high, and he just needs to have the power of black powder initially. So Annan hired five elite mages and drew a drawing for them. Let them use magic to make black powder spears with triggers, hammers, rifling.

Then there are the fortifications, in addition to the city walls and trenches, the earth elements have been reinforcing the land of Xingyue Bay all day long, and the southern forests have also been cut down on a large scale, and the ground thorns are made on the spot to create a defensive line.

Annan didn't even have time to plant trees this time - the druids had already gone to Middle-earth anyway, and the nezumi would eat everything they could eat anyway.

The real enemy, the nezumi, didn't know it yet, but it made Glacier Harbor uneasy. Gema asked the old butler to come and ask Annan what he was doing overnight, and Annan said to beware of the rat people, and the old butler went back with concern. As a result, the next day, Glacier Harbor also erected a long line of wooden thorns in the forest.

Annan felt that he really shouldn't have bullied Gema so much.

The busyness did not erase Annan's worries, and on the sixth day of waiting for the news to return, the fire raven finally flew back from the portal of the new Primordial: the Eighth Holy Grail Knight has fallen.

The letter said that the royal capital was shaken, and the three major knights gathered and went south to avenge the Knights of the Holy Grail. Only Annan knew that this was the cooperation of the first little pig and the big bad wolf.

Not even the Grail Knights could stop them, and the situation was irreparable.

In the afternoon when he got the news, Annan asked the newspaper to arrange the news into the new issue of the "Xingyuewan News".

"Do you really want to say that?" Evelyn was keenly aware of something, "It's going to be unacceptable to a lot of people......"

All boys have dreams of becoming Knights of the Holy Grail.

"It will also prepare a lot of people."

The nezumi are really coming.
