Verse 122.The Redemption of Raella
There is also a life of luxury. Dragonskin carpets, eternal magic lamps, and banquets of singing at night.
It's just that Annan can't do it. If he had dragon skins, he would send them to the blacksmith shop to be put into the armor of the soldiers, and the eternal magic lamp would be installed on the street lamps on the side of the street, and the banquet would be ...... The nobles in Gem City combined did not have as many servants as banquets.
At the end of the day, the aristocracy sought wealth, status, and family longevity. And what Annan seeks is to give the world a gift.
Mr. Victor's gift was the newly renovated library. The design of the Erie Gravel returning from Montreal Hill references the Royal Library of Magic in Montreal, giving the wooden building the grandeur of a royal family and the agility of an elf.
Evelyn's gift was her tavern - Fast was a thing of the past, and he spent his days in the harbor of Sertovis mingling with sailors and fishermen, talking about Gem City and fishing bait.
Soruman Copperbeard's gift was the blacksmith's shop. The dwarf and anvil stereotypes are like the stereotypes of warlocks and promiscuity - maybe not all of them fit, but they certainly exist.
Elimoas' gift is its crystal dragon nest, and her lair will be envied and envied by countless dragons of the same age.
The gift of the city's citizens was that they built their homes with their own hands, and the gifts of all were condensed into the gift of Annam.
As the Gem City was built day by day, the inhabitants of the Overwatch emerged with sorrow, and the old people of Starmoon Bay smiled: the former thought they were done with their work and were going to be sent back. The latter knew that the houses were for themselves and were already looking for other jobs.
Since there was no trade in the Gem City, the inhabitants were now left to work for the Lord's Mansion, a lumberyard, a textile mill, a blacksmith's shop, a shipyard, and the Lord's newly created "Tree Planter".
They don't understand why they want to plant trees while cutting down trees, and they don't understand what sustainable resources are, anyway, the wise lords, who are now the city lords, do whatever they want.
All of this will drain the finances of Gem City. Editria, like Ingrid at the beginning, believed that there was no need to pay the inhabitants, because all the nobles would not give the yellow and clear Kinnar to the poor, and the food was already considered the mercy of the lord.
Annan replied that the gold coins that flowed were the gold coins, and that the dead ones were only golden stones in the treasury.
However, work only provides the most basic living guarantee for each resident, and they need to work hard to live a good life.
……
"Here's what I learned today!"
At the gate of the city lord's mansion, Leila handed a bag of sea fish weighing about two pounds to Annan.
Annan tilted his head back and focused his eyes on the seven or eight sea fish in the net: the largest was the size of a palm, and the smallest was about the length of a little finger...... How could Leila be so cruel that she didn't even spare the cubs?
Pushing a wheelchair, Etilia came to the window. "Aren't there any conch today?" The eldest sister asked curiously.
Leila's face flushed, arguing that the sea was too mixed at high tide today, and that I usually catch a lot of fish and pick up some shells and conches, so I am not very lucky......
"I see." Annan said, looking at the little fish that Lily couldn't even eat.
Fortunately, Leila has a younger brother and an older sister, otherwise she would have starved to death sooner or later.
"Don't throw the fish in the pond."
The pond in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion had just lost its smell of rot.
Leila ran back to the house with the fishing rod, and Annan raised her head and waved to her eldest sister in front of the window.
The next day, Annan was woken up by the stench that came through the crack in the window, and in the dimness he thought he was still sleeping in the room on the second floor of the tavern.
A few minutes later, Annan was standing by a pond filled with dead fish that smelled of decay.
The culprits are also Rela and Lily.
"I just want to feed Lily the fish I caught......" Reela said aggrieved.
Lily is loved by everyone, and has people feeding her in Gem City all day long, but she doesn't want to live up to Raella's wishes, so she takes the fish into the pond and raises it.
Lily doesn't know the difference between seawater and freshwater, so what's wrong with Lily?
Fortunately, it's not summer, and the dead fish in the pond are only slightly rotten, just fish them out.
But that was just one of the things that made Lela uncomfortable, and she didn't come home that night.
Annan, who thought that Lela was angry, found it late at night, only to find Reela returning with a sea fish weighing almost five pounds on the beach.
Leila caught the first big fish that moved to Gem City, but the price was that Annan blamed her for a long time, and even the gentle eldest sister didn't stop her.
Who knows if there will be any forces and what race of spies hidden in Gem City, as the sister of the city lord, is actually running around.
Driving the deflated Lela home, Annan followed Itilia back to the City Lord's Mansion to help her clean up today's affairs.
"Lela is scared."
Editia in a moonlit dress sits in a wheelchair, her legs under the skirt are curvaceous, but she can't hide her thinness.
"Because of fishing?"
"Because there's no place for her in Gem City...... "Ittilia knows her sister.
"How so? She is the sister of the city lord, and no one can take care of her. ”
If she hadn't made a mistake, Annan wouldn't have been able to accuse her.
"She won't do anything, she can't do anything."
Everyone in Gem City is doing everything they can to contribute, and even Editia has her role to play, and only Reela has nothing to do.
"I'll figure it out......"
Luckily, it's a magical world. A magic fishing rod that attracts fish makes sense, right?
Sending Itilia home, Annan knocks on Mr. West's door late at night and discusses with him the possibility of a "magic fishing rod".
It turned out to be easier than expected, and Mr. Victor said that an elite would solve it, and that it was an insult to magic to do so.
Annan opens the portal to Srtovith and asks the merchants of Diagon Alley to ask the Master Spellcaster to make a magic fishing rod.
As for what to do tomorrow...... Annan called out the three water elementals, threw them three copper coins to distinguish them from the others, and taught them to put the fish in the sea on her hook when they saw Leila go out to sea tomorrow.
When ready, Annan handed the casually bought fishing rod to Leila in the early morning.
"I thought about the problem, the fish in the North and Middle-earth live in different conditions, and the rod should be used differently, try the rod I bought from Sertovis and you will thank me."
"Really?" Lella will be skeptical.
"How bad can it be?"
Born of hope from despair, Leila grabbed the fishing rod and went straight to the beach with hesitation and anticipation on her cheeks to push the boat out to sea.
The three water elementals waiting in the shallows quietly followed, and when the oars were retracted, a bait with earthworms hanging on it hung into the sea, and the water elementals began to act.
Two minutes later, the first fish that made Rela's delight took the bait, and it was bigger than the one last night......
It's just that the hook buried in the belly of the fish makes her confused.
