"I have a friend who is often kicked around like a ball......"

"Your friends should rebel." Copperbeard is still seriously suggesting.

"There's no way to resist, he's a prisoner." Annan said, "Do you think the orichalcum armor can protect him?" ”

"Try fine iron?"

"I'm afraid it won't work, there's no material that can withstand me...... The friend was attacked. He wore through the plates, but it was as thin as a layer of brown paper. ”

"I don't care, but do you really want to spend twenty or thirty thousand gold coins to buy an orichalcum armor for your friend?" The copper beard who was kept in the dark lamented Annan's kindness.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, if it's useless, you can send the alborite back and change it into building materials."

Their source of oralcum was a royal alchemy in Wilhelm. The Tatoon Empire was able to procure it, but the City Lord's Mansion agreed that it would be a good idea to take the opportunity to lay a foundation with Wilhelm's power.

And the price of the Royal Alchemy Room is reasonable, it never runs out, and there are no drawbacks other than arrogance.

"Remember to rush them, be sure to send them by this week."

As for how to survive during this time...... As long as you don't sleep, you'll be fine!

"Remember to share some of my orcs!"

Annan came out of the sweltering blacksmith shop in the chatter of the copper whiskers, and he had one more thing to do today - to bid farewell to Giraldi.

The streets were much cleaner than usual—not the same as the crowded streets that had been crowded with people sleeping on both sides of the road. Partly because the expanded Liberty City housed them, and partly because many people gathered outside the city to prepare for their homes.

Annan saw Giraldi, surrounded by a crowd of nobles who had arrived, and the gray-robed mages and mages stood not far away.

Giraldi also saw Annan, and then, without thinking, he threw off the nobles who surrounded him and ran over, whispering to Annan that he would stop when he reached the Overwatch and establish a new capital of the principality there.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Hmm. The northern aristocracy basically supported the madness...... Gilles, if they can betray Gilles to support me, they can betray me to support others......"

Annan wanted to say that most of the reason they betrayed Gilles was his brutality...... But Giraldi, who had lost everything and had no one to help him, lacked a sense of security. He even asked Annan to send a musketeer to assist him.

"You are not my vassal, Giraldi. As the leader of the principality, you must not rely on others so that you do not plunge the principality into turmoil. ”

Even Annan, who is uneducated and unskilled, knows that a cowardly monarch will allow intrigue and betrayal to grow.

Giraldi is not completely absent, for example, the gray-robed mage and his mage tower association follow his orders. Lord Lorraine and his knights are also loyal—probably.

Finally Giraldi gave up his troops, but he then said, "We can unite in Liberty City and the Overwatch to build a road." ”

Annan thinks this is feasible: "You pay, I pay." ”

"No problem."

Annan finally relaxed. In recent months, and even this year, Liberty City has stopped worrying about people not having jobs.

As for next year or another influx of people in Liberty City...... Then build another railway.

The steam engine is hard to reproduce, but the magic steam engine shouldn't be hard?

As the time of departure drew nearer, Annan summoned Mr. Evaro and Dean Brehim. Together with the Grey-robed Mage, they construct a giant portal to the Overwatch Collar.

On the other side of the portal, a stretch of town emerges, and the inhabitants begin to enter the portal one after another.

Some people who want to leave choose to stay, and some people who want to stay choose to go.

"Annan...... My lord. Lord Loran had been able to face up to the gap between himself and Annan, and he pleaded, "There is a guy in the city who is also named Loran. ”

"The man who was ordered to assassinate me by the Mad Dog Grand Duke?" Annan still remembers him.

"Well, I hope you can take care of him for some ......"

Lord Loran seems to see another self in this commoner of the same name.

"I remember he joined the musketeers, so don't worry."

Lord Lorain gave Annan a knightly salute that was very different from that of the monarch, returned to the knights' ranks, and entered the portal.

The nobles of the principality also said goodbye to Annan one after another, and they were basically enthusiastically approaching - Annan could easily press the mad dog Grand Duke to death without any damage.

When Giraldi entered, Annan said, "Promise me one thing. ”

"I'll do whatever you say."

"Treat your people well."

Giraldi was stunned for a moment by the seriousness of those black eyes, and solemnly promised: "I will die before my people." ”

Witnessing Giraldi's back enter the portal, the gray-robed mage finally came to Annan.

"We'll see you again."

The gray-robed mage whispered a prophetic whisper that Annan wanted to punch him as well, and entered the portal.

The giant portal disappears as soon as he enters.

"Let's go back."

Annan said to the people around him.

Freeville seems to be much deserted - but only by illusion, and now Freeville is five times more than the 6,000 people on the front lines of the war...... It's just that no one sleeps on the street anymore.

Ormedo pushed Itilia back to the city lord's mansion, and Annan ran to the blacksmith shop to ask about the "steam engine" of Copperbeard.

After all, the dwarves seem to be a race that will be associated with things like the "steam engine" and the "musket" in the early days of the industrial revolution.

"Annan......" Copperbeard's tone was unprecedentedly complaining, "Don't you think the blacksmith shop is under too much pressure?" ”

Craft 3,000 magic muskets, magic cannons, and plate armor...... But the blacksmith shop had only a few dozen people - it had only been expanded to a hundred a few days ago.

Annan had no choice but to say: "Happiness is comparative, how long have you not seen Michael?" ”

After saying that, he himself was stunned, as if Michael hadn't shown up since the war with the mad dog archduke began......

"Let's go to Michael's lab."

Annan said, pulling the brass whisker and leaving the blacksmith's shop.

He paused briefly as he passed the Crystal Lair.

"I remember you punished the blue dragon? I didn't see it come out today. "You're too strict with a young dragon. ”

Annan said ruthlessly, "Elimayas must be taught a lesson." ”

Annan and Copperbeard walked farther and farther away, and in the depths of the beautiful crystal lair that stood......

"My prince, why do you have to be cruel to your beloved...... Dragon. The tips of Elimoas' claws crumbled into the tiny parchment of her body.

"Lord Blue Dragon, you should say, people." Betty, who was standing in front of her, corrected.

The pair of threatening dragon eyes stared at Betty: "I'm not human. ”

"But you have to ask Annam-sama in your human form, and changing your name will make Annam-sama play......"

"What is a play?"

"It's about getting out of your emotions."

"Hmph......" Elimoas breathed heat from her nose and continued to chant, "My prince, why do you treat your beloved cruelly......"

"You need to be gentle......"
