Section 89. Gem City

The portal was crowded with people.

To Annan's frustration, they were more concerned about how Annan had managed to scrape together 400,000 gold coins in a short month than the arcane core that radiated a glow behind him - the most difficult time in Xingyue Bay was when he was groped by women for a few hundred gold coins.

"You've been in town too long, hillbilly." Annan received mixed reactions to their venting.

"I'm not surprised."

"Let me go over for a moment...... I'm going fishing. ”

"Please scold a few more words!"

"Sounds like you snatched it from the nobles."

Annan's attention was taken away from the mixed in by a strange remark, and he replied to Fast: "Almost. ”

However, the rain and dew in Annam were evenly distributed—each aristocratic and wealthy merchant only grabbed a few gold coins to a dozen gold coins.

Now he's eyeing the civilians again.

And Ormedo said, "I guessed it, you asked Claudia for so many magic stones,"

And Rela pounces on the portal, and Annan has to catch her so that her sister doesn't run into the Arcane Core and turns into a void creature.

"Let's go after her."

Annan reluctantly said to a few elements, and then stood aside: "You guys come over too, take a look at our future home." ”

"I like your description." Fast stepped out of the portal.

If he hadn't had a fishing rod in his hand and his steps were eager, Annan might have believed him.

Then there was the Wine Lady and her push from the small town in the woods to the vast Jewel Bay, with Mr. Victor's niece, Rhona Gilman and her brother, and Aunt Susan's family, and Deella.

Annan looked at Olmedo and Editilia at the back, and Olmedo pushed her out of the portal.

On the other side of the portal, there was only Abby, the lone maid, and Annan beckoned to her, and Abby was surprised and stepped over to the hem of her skirt.

But there are still a few fewer people.

"What about Michael and Francois?"

"They think you're short of money and go to the nearby deciduous collar to work as a mercenary."

Francois would do just that, and Annan was no exception...... At Starmoon Bay, he was the most diligent person besides Ingrid. Michael ...... In addition to asking for money, he actually makes money!?

"How many people are left in town?" Annan took Editria's wheelchair,

"There are less than 5,000 people still in town."

There were more than 10,000 people who came to Typhoon Shelter Town with Annan, and half of them were still left after two months...... Much better than Annan imagined.

"They really believe in you." Annan sighed. The future team of New Star Moon Bay is already there.

"Annan, they believe you." Olmedo stopped at the dividing line between gravel beach and sandy beach, and his tone was sad: "Not me, the 'mayor' who stayed with them......"

Itilia suddenly patted the back of Annan's hand to remind him, vaguely guessing Ormedo's thoughts, Annan blurted out: "I want to correct you, you are now our future deputy city lord of Floating City." ”

"I'm sorry, Annan...... I'm a little tired......"

Contrary to her dazzling blonde hair and bright smile, Olmedo has always been pessimistic...... Especially after the loss of a loved one.

"Eldest sister, I would like to ask for one thing......" Annan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Can I change my surname to Olmedo......"

Olmedo and Itilia froze at the same time.

In the end, Olmedo didn't agree to Annan, but she would still give advice to Annan. Annan didn't push her anymore, maybe Olmedo would change his mind in the future.

Of the remaining 5,000 people in Typhoon Shelter Town, more than 800 were nobles and wealthy merchants...... They were sheltered by Olmedo because they chose to side with Olmedo at the end.

Annan couldn't think of any use for them. A wealthy merchant may be able to become a merchant again with experience, but what can the nobles do? Attending a banquet? Wear nice clothes?

Annan didn't know if Olmedo had a reason for rejecting him...... She's still in Typhoon Shelter, and these nobles can't become moths in Nova Moon Bay.

"How many more professionals?"

"About a thousand."

"So much?"

1 in 5 professionals...... Typhoon Shelter Town is enough to keep the authorities of nearby towns from sleeping.

"They're all the most loyal warriors in Breeze." Olmedo was proud of them, "I'm going to hand it over to you." ”

Annan did not refuse, but only hesitated: "Can they do things?" I mean, logging, mining, patrolling, ......."

"What's in the warehouse just rots."

"What about the remaining three thousand?"

"They're the families of those people, and yours."

Annan brought only more than 200 men, half of whom were elite musketeers, but some of them left one after another—Crean, for example, and only about 90 are still in the town.

Annan didn't really care—he believed that his people would return as word spread from Nova Moon Bay.

"Is the old master of Mars still there?"

"They left a month ago, supposedly to find the other Northlanders."

The families of the twelve kings of the North have all left the North...... The King of the North is dead in name.

After all, even the original Twelve Kings of the Northern Realm did not face the attack of the Demon Tide and the Rat Tide.

Annan remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Eldest sister, the guardian of our family......"

"It left in the early hours of the morning."

It was just when the contract between the dragon and the Reeves family ended.

Annan didn't ask in detail, and introduced the next arrangements for them:

The best golden sand beach in front of the bay is used as a tourist attraction, and the harbour is placed on the east side.

"Isn't it a floating city? Why is there a seaport? ”

"It will float when it is in danger, and even if it is in the air, it can be changed to an airport."

The nameless forest mountains to the west should be rich in minerals...... Annan needs more dwarves!

As for the druids...... Cutting down trees and planting trees should attract them? It's just that the druids have always hated the undead and have to find a way to get them to accept the skeleton farmer.

For example, can the "blessed Holy Skeleton Farmer" reduce their resistance?

Scattered in the Bay of Jewels, the captives were spotted by the campfire.

Annan said he brought a gift to the new life of the homeland: "The new territory needs residents. ”

"Do you have enough money?"

"We shouldn't be spending as much money as I make, for the time being."

Magical images are spreading to the Tatooon Empire and other Middle-earth nations, and Annan must make money for Jinnar before pirates and imitators appear.

"I have a question, what is our new territory called?" Annan looked around at everyone.

"Night City."

"It's too elf, it will make outsiders think it's those guys' territory."

"The home of Annan and his friends?"

"Only a lustful aristocrat would call a Tibetan woman's manor like that."

Annan gave up on their bad idea: "Then Gem City." ”

It just so happens that he loves gemstones.

Erie Gravel slapped his chest, and he couldn't wait to build a spectacular city lord's mansion for Annan—

"The City Lord's Mansion is not in a hurry...... I need you to build a dragon's lair that no dragon can refuse. ”
