Verse 204. She's alive
Annan and Teddell, each with their own sorrows.
After Teddell found Alger, he found Thelma Windranger. Teddell was amazed by his archery skills - he could shoot three arrows, allowing the second to hit the first, the third to the second, and the first to the bull's-eye...... But he was a bard.
And Annan ...... His idea of replacing the Elemental Legion with a low-level summon didn't work. He cast two spells today. Summoned a goblin bathing at a time, clutching a brush made of pig bristles, covered in foam. After seeing Annan, it screamed and covered its body and gave Annan a slap, which was dismissed by a stunned Annan.
"Did you see it, it hit me ......!"
"It's your fault."
Ingrid believes that Annan did it on purpose.
A kobold was summoned for the second time...... The cub, whose miserable bark was supposed to be calling for its mother, Annan had no choice but to send it back.
Low-level summons can only summon normal creatures, and they are random...... This means that Annan has to pick up and learn.
And Olmedo and Editia have found a way to avoid dragging Liberty City into war: sell weapons.
Madame Olocle's "Sweet Home" is an island, and there is no other way for anyone who wants to reach it than by boat...... They could have set up magic cannons in the harbor and armed the townspeople.
Instead of Liberty City directly joining the war, now they only need to send a musket team to teach the locals, and they can also earn money by selling magic cannons and magic muskets. Even Lady Olocle's island was used as a springboard to spread out magical images and magical newspapers on the Plette Peninsula.
"'Give a poor man a fish instead of teach him the skill of fishing,' that's what you said." Itilia said.
It seems that the echo at that time was indeed not an auditory hallucination.
"Does Lady Ollock agree?"
"She had no choice."
For the sake of Liberty City's justice, they also plot an assassination attempt against Madame Oloch, in front of many crew members and tourists in the port.
The Voice of Liberty announced that it would assist Lady Ollock in guarding the harbor as a result of the attack.
The nobles who followed Liberty City and the magical newspaper knew that Madame Oro had been in Liberty City for too long and had been rejected, so they removed the possibility of Liberty City directing and acting on her own.
And when the news reached the Pule Peninsula, it didn't make much splash......
Liberty City is so far away from the Pleth Peninsula that the entire Tatunn Empire has never heard of Liberty City, which has only been built for half a year.
Annan did not show up in this matter, and Olmedo and Itilia were solely responsible. After all, Madame Oloch's reputation is not very good......
Olmedo led Lady Ollok to see the power of musketeers and magic artillery, and Lady Olmedo asked for 500 magic cannons to enclose the entire coastline of the island, and Ormedo had to tell her that a hundred magic cannons could hold the harbor and prevent the enemy from invading on a large scale.
The reason for this "boss advises guests to spend less" is simple - Liberty City now has just over a hundred magic cannons.
Only a thousand magic muskets were sold, at the cost of barely arming three musket teams, and the situation of two reserve sticks became: one musket team and two reserve sticks.
Villefranche's production capacity is severely insufficient, and the expansion of the blacksmith shop is imminent.
Olmedo simply set aside a large plot of land in the industrial area, expanded the blacksmith shop into a factory, and expanded the number of workers from less than 200 to 1,000.
It is estimated that the output rate of magic muskets, magic cannons, and plate armor will become 30, 5, and 20 per day.
Olmedo believes that the nobles who will focus on the war will find the advantage of magic muskets and artillery, and the orders will be endless......
Annan only opened the portal when Lady Olake and the White Dragon returned to "Sweet Home".
Fermi and Jack lead the Hellfire Muskets. Their plate armor was polished, the queue was solemn and cold, and the rat heads and blood droplets on their chests were hideous.
Annan's brewing "come back alive" also became "for glory", watching as the musketeers entered the portal with neat and heavy steps, and one magic cannon after another was sent to the other side.
The last magic cannon passed, and Annan canceled the portal, finding Sister Deta standing in the distance.
"We just want to stop the war from creating more sufferers." Annan walked over and said.
Those weapons are not the makers of killing, but the maintainers of order.
"I'm not a pedantic hypocrite." "I have seen countless people who have lost their homes in the north being slaughtered by the nezumi......"
"You've passed through the kingdom of Rikanre?"
"It has been overrun by the nezumi, and even the king has not been spared." Sister Deta said.
"What about the royal family and the nobility?"
"They had infighting. The king, who had betrayed his people, imprisoned those who had rebelled against him, and fled south to establish a new royal capital. ”
The evildoers are safe and sound...... That's bad news.
Annan then asked Sister Deta if she knew about Lady Winter and Princess Sayles. She said that Lady Winter had retreated to the Winter's Territory on the border of the Kingdom of Dumon to defend herself against the Demon Tide and the Rat Tide, and that Princess Sayles was ......
Sister Deta thought for a moment and said that she seemed to be one of the traitors, imprisoned in the old royal capital.
Annan was stunned. It was winter, and now the rainy season is approaching...... The New Year's gift she gave at the beginning might have been her last supper.
It would be a mistake to inquire about the kingdom of Rikanr on your own......
All Annan could do was to keep an eye on the dynamics in the north, and then give Sister Deta's words to Evelyn and ask her to put them in the next issue of Voices of Freedom.
People here lack understanding of the Montreal family that made this happen. As for whether it will offend the Montreal Golden Family...... I can't care about it so much.
Reminiscing about Princess Sayles, who had helped her a lot, Annan returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
It didn't take long for the leaves of the World Tree to light up.
Teddell says she found Thelma Windranger. It's uncertain if he's the most promising elven archer, but he does show great archery skills.
The Magic Mirror proves that it really is.
Annan asks Teddell about the Demon Grand Duke and the Dream Realm. That, she said, was the effect of the Demon Lord's projection on Annan - because the abyss was too far from the main plane.
She told Annan not to worry. Unless a passage suddenly appears in the abyss and the main plane, the Demon Lord will never be able to really affect him—saying so only makes Annan uneasy.
Teddell talks about Annan's torment in dreams: because it was a dream, Annan would not be subjected to anything in his dreams that he had not experienced. Including pain.
Loosen the leaves of the World Tree and the bedroom will be quiet.
Annan opened the drawer at this time and picked up the magic mirror: "Magic mirror, magic mirror, is Princess Sails still alive?" ”
The cracked mirror fell silent for a moment.
"She's alive."
