In the makeshift port, Annan saw civilians hunched over their shoulders in the sea breeze.

These people are mostly male, with a small number of women, but they are well protected. They looked no different from the refugees who had been driven from the north by the Mad Dog Grand Duke the other day, and at best they did not seem to have suffered.

Annan's arrival made them crowd up excitedly, and their eyes flashed with a familiar light - they were all residents of Breeze City.

"Lotsi, go call Olmedo."

The absence of Xingyue Bay residents among these people is Annan's second regret.

"I found these people on the Play Peninsula, and they weren't doing well, so I took them with me."

The Play Peninsula is east of the Tatunn Empire, and they have run far enough......

It wasn't long before Olmedo arrived. The inhabitants were stunned for a moment before they recognized the girl with bright blonde hair and wise blue eyes as their lord of the city.

"There's one more thing I think I should tell you......" Shepard deliberately lowered his voice, "It's said that the Pearl Harbor maritime merchants on the Play Peninsula are eyeing you......"

Maritime merchants usually have two faces - to put on a disguise in front of the powerful to do business, and to tear off the disguise in front of the weak and become a pirate.

Annan wants to say that they are not afraid of pirates, how much stronger can they be than the Mad Dog Grand Duke? But Olmedo said that the strength of the territory and the strength of the maritime merchants are two parts. Even the Tatooan Empire could not prevent its merchant ships from being raided by pirates.

Without the Elemental Legion, the merchant ships of Freetown have magic muskets and magic cannons, and lack deterrence.

It's like a golden dragon who likes to turn into a weak girl and go fishing in the slums.

Anyway, "Thanks for the message." Annan said.

Suddenly, Annan and Itilia raised their heads, and a clear wave of magic came from a merchant ship that had just docked.

……

Madame Ollocke's age made it difficult for her skin to hide its sagging, but under the delicate makeup, it still exuded a mature charm, and the loose ornate mage robes concealed the rough and dull skin.

Supported by her servants, she stepped out of the merchant ship and looked around: "This is Liberty City?" As beautiful as in the magic image. When she saw Annan and the others not far away, she let out a meaningful chuckle.

"Why is she ......" Shepard frowned as he looked at the red mage robe in the distance.

"You know?"

"Lady Oro, a master mage, but known to everyone in the Pule Peninsula......"

Under Annan's curious questioning, Shepard hesitated and continued: "Because she raised an island...... Juvenile. ”

The red-robed woman walking towards her seemed to be turned into a demon, and the terrifying blood smeared the sky above the bay—

It was too late for Annan to want to leave, and Mrs. Olaku came to them and greeted them gracefully.

"Hmm...... Good ......"

Seeing Annan's predicament, Olmedo took the initiative to contact Mrs. Ollocke, but Mrs. Ollock seemed to be particularly fond of "shy boys", and looked at Annan frequently, and the heat almost burned him.

"You talk, I'll go back with the eldest sister first."

Annan pushed Itilia out of port in a hurry.

"That Lady Orok is not innocent to you." Editia said as she walked back along the coastal street.

"I won't."

"I know." How could Editia not know Annan's preferences, "I'm afraid she will." ”

Annan was just about to quibble a few words when there was a commotion at the door of the tavern not far away.

Rosie ran to investigate, and came back with a serious expression after a while: "The succubus has died......"

"Succubi can get pregnant too?"

"What?"

Rosie was stunned for a moment, explaining the whole story: a greedy succubus overdosed while serving a guest, and the guest's dying screams attracted the attention of the other succubi, who broke in and stopped her.

"Is the guest still alive?"

"It's being treated."

"Spare no effort to save him, and the cost will be deducted from that succubus." Annan thought about it and contacted Beludona with a parchment roll to tell her what had happened.

"Call me later, and I'll punish her myself."

Annan looked at the tavern that was still busy in the distance, but fortunately, the accident did not stop people's enthusiasm.

That's what men are.

"How's the orcs doing?" Annan asked Etilia.

Itilia says that the orcs don't like to interact with their neighbors, and if it weren't for the guards' resistance, they would want to hunt in the mountains - they don't understand why Annan kept them and didn't let them do anything.

It's been a week since they came to Liberty City, and they're just getting into the environment. Feeling that it was almost over, Annan and Itilia went to the orc's quarters.

The orc leader Gal and some orcs came out to greet him, and Annan looked at the female orcs behind him and greeted him gentlemanly: "Are all your people as strong and beautiful as you?" ”

Annan thought that this compliment would draw into the relationship, but the orcs showed a look of "sure enough", and then asked the female orcs to hide behind the male orcs.

"My lord, what can we do for you?" Gal asked in a gruff voice.

Annan broke free from the silence of being guarded: "Well, I do have some work for you. What are you good at? ”

"Fight."

"Peel."

"Beheading."

The orcs replied one after another.

"I mean professional ......"

"We are born warriors!" Gal slapped his chest.

Annan was noncommittal, Gar was not even a professional, but he had the strength of an elite warrior.

Annan said in a way they could understand: "Workers, blacksmiths, ports, all these places need workers. ”

And these jobs apply to the entire orc race.

You can't expect orcs to sew and weave with their fingers that can crush human skulls.

"Are there no mercenaries?"

Annan shook his head: "The perimeter of Liberty City is safe, as safe as Wilhelm. ”

"We are also the best soldiers!" Gal looked at Losi behind Annan and pointed at him: "Please let me fight him!" ”

Instead of agreeing, Annan asked Losi and the soldiers to show a queue and walk.

"Can this fight?" Gal said dismissively.

"It really can't, but it allows the commander to control the war."

In the end, Gal and his people had no choice but to choose a few jobs offered by Annan. Annan reassured them that they would be needed to fight in the future, but not now.

It was almost evening when Annan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and he had been chatting with the elven mentor routinely, but today was a little earlier than usual.

"Annan, I'm sorry I deceived you...... I'm not Irirandzer. ”

Just as Annan wondered if this was the Elven Mentor's new interest, she said, "I am Teddell, the emissary of the Elven Court. ”

Annan was silent for a while: "Then why did you suddenly choose to confess?" ”

"Because Irilanzer is on his way."

"You mean the elven mentor is on his way to Liberty City?"

“10……”

"Ten days?"

“9…… 8…… 7……”
