The fourth magical video was ready for filming, but days of rain prevented them.

Annan looked at Liberty City in the rain in front of the windowsill in the living room.

"Professor Annan, do you need me to clear the rain clouds?" Dean Brahim, who had come to teach Lilith, asked.

Annan felt envious that the mages could change the heavens and do anything with spells, while he could only summon the evil dragon who was greedy for money......

He politely rejected the dean's proposal, and let the two leading actors get acquainted with each other again.

With nothing to do, Annan asked the maid Abby to bring paper and a pen and sill, and lay on the windowsill to paint.

Rich people don't like rainy days. Because of the poor sanitation in most cities, as long as it rains, the excrement hidden in the alleys and roadsides will drift everywhere with the stagnant water. Splashed onto the body and flowed to the door.

Annan suspected that the high heels of Allen Continent were forced out because of this situation.

Looking at the few pedestrians on the street, Annan also drew the soap by the way.

The Allen Continent also has it, but it's not like that at all.

Their "soap" is a special liquid potion that cleanses the skin, invented by alchemists, and a bottle costs a few gold coins, can only be used a few times, and is said to be adulterated with gold dust - I don't know if it's really a precious material or an unspoken rule that alchemists agree on.

Most people in Liberty City are resistant to public baths. They would rather work a little longer than waste their time cleaning themselves up like a.

Annan attacked their prejudices, speaking of the virtues of maintaining hygiene. But if you have a soap, you can save a lot of trouble.

The painting was almost finished, and Annan took it and dedicated it to Olmedo.

"What is this?"

Olmedo felt that they were some kind of hieroglyphic symbols.

"The first one is an umbrella that you hold on your head to keep out the rain. The second is soap, which is used to wash the skin and clothing. ”

Olmedo imagined how it would be used for a moment, then asked, "Don't we have ponchos?" ”

"Umbrellas should be more convenient."

Olmedo was noncommittal. Although she could not see that such a thing called an umbrella was more practical than a poncho, there was nothing unpopular with Annan's invention.

Even the corset is selling well in the "Diagon Alley" in various places, and there are more ladies and ladies with good figures at the banquet.

Based on the strong execution of Liberty City, on the third day of Annan's invention, the world's first umbrella and the first bar of soap appeared.

The umbrella was much the same as Annan had envisioned – a canvas surface and a pole made of wood and metal. As for why it's not all-metal - it's one thing to be heavy, it's another thing to be too good in quality.

When an item lasts for decades, it doesn't sell well.

The right little glitch will stimulate people's "desire to shop".

Annan Xinyi's material is bamboo, but so far he has not seen any trace of them in this world.

The soap is shaped into squares and is placed there like a dessert, with the smell of animal fat.

"I've tried it, and it's better than the perfume, but it doesn't smell." Ingrid said.

The perfume is the soap invented by alchemists.

"Looking for a taste isn't easy? Put some flower petals in it or pour some perfume while making it. ”

It's just that the cost will roll up, but it's okay. Unscented soaps are sold at low prices to the poor, while flavored soaps are packaged as soaps and sold to those who are rich.

The same can be done with umbrellas, the umbrellas of the poor are simple and sturdy, and the umbrellas of the rich are delicate and beautiful.

One is daily necessities and the other is luxury. Free City doesn't pit the poor.

"This will put us in competition with the alchemists." Ingrid suggested, "Shall we engage with the alchemist in a conciliatory way?" ”

"The alchemist is more powerful than the kingdom of Rikaner?"

"It's different."

The threat to the kingdom of Rikanr is the force side, and alchemists will attack where they excel: between cities.

For example, pressure the cooperative aristocracy to boycott Freetown goods, or fight price wars and dump with their stable production lines—which they have always done.

This is how many small inventions belonging to ordinary people have been seized by alchemists.

And Liberty City's every move itself has been noticed and imitated by the outside world. Such as magic images, fast pants...... Especially the Fast pants. Counterfeiters seem to be worried about the poor sales of the Fast pants, and they also sell them under names such as "Annan Pants" and "Jack Pants......

In any case, they are cheaper than Liberty City, and some are of better quality than Liberty City.

"It doesn't matter."

Annan didn't care about alchemists, nor did he care about merchants. Yourself and Liberty City are the biggest guarantees of goods. As long as you stay ahead of the curve and your reputation, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell your products.

The cake is only so big.

If Freetown wants to increase the income of its residents, if it wants to make a lot of money, it has to crowd out other areas.

Behind the rise of Liberty City is bound to be a bloody storm.

It's about human nature, it's about survival.

"And alchemists aren't always monolithic."

There are also good nezumi like Maria and Broken Teeth, and there are no fewer good people among alchemists than nezumi.

In the future, Annan will let out the wind to recruit alchemists, and they will naturally flock to it.

When umbrellas and soap were sent to various places through the Freeport, the long rainy days finally stopped for a while. Although the sky was still overcast, it was time to start shooting.

The original version of "When the Orcs Knock on the Door" is a simple story: Chris is a salesman, but because of the economic crisis, he has to pay his rent and has a son to raise. His fortune consisted only of a few machines that were worth a lot of money but could not be sold. Because of poverty, his wife left him, and Chris, who wanted to give his children a happy life, decided to take up a high-paying securities job, but there was no pay for the six months of the internship. He was kicked out by the landlord again, so the homeless father and son had to survive on those machines for six months.

Like "The Fall of the Mage Tower", "When the Orcs Knock on the Door" required a lot of localization, Annan's script was changed several times, and Tina was taken out of vacation.

In the end, the plot is presented: the orc father and son Chris and Christopher live in a city, because of the identity of the orc, they are discriminated against and ridiculed, and they can't even find a job, only a few broken weapons that they used to be mercenaries can't be sold. Her wife, unable to bear the pressure, abandoned her husband and son and returned to the tribe.

Because Chris had never met his father, he didn't want his son to repeat the same mistakes. On this day, in order to celebrate his son's birthday, he spent 1 silver coin to lead his son to watch "The Redemption of Bertal".

He is attracted by the free and beautiful Liberty City in the magical image, there is no discrimination, no oppression, and he wants to go there with his son, but the ticket to Liberty City costs 6 gold coins, and he must make a choice, continue to mess with the nightmare or chase hope......
