Annan actually wanted to recruit soldiers from the fortress.

Even if they don't care about their strength, the knowledge that these warriors have to hunt demons is a valuable asset. Even if the nezukmen and demons invade Middle-earth, they will find themselves outside of Freetown and crash into the fortress.

It's just that they still have relatives and faith, and it is estimated that they will return to their families. Brianor Jana said that she would ask for Annan those who were homeless and hated to take revenge on the kingdom of Rikaner.

The portal vanished, and Annan regained some of his emotions and looked up to find the dean.

The Dean and Lilith stood at the door of the Mage Tower.

The early morning sun fell on Lilith's cheeks without a single line, like fine ceramics, beautiful and moving.

"There are currently one hundred and sixty-four mages in the Mage Tower, fourteen of whom are elites, and there are no masters." Lilith's serene eyes fell on Annan.

"It's okay, it will be easier for you to control the mage tower."

The strength of the tower depends on the mage tower...... The current Mage Tower has nothing but the future.

Taling Lilith hides her identity and plays the role of the tower master, and she can do whatever the tower master can do anyway.

Dean Brehim was Lilith's teacher, and nominally was forced by Annan, the deputy tower master. The dean has given too much for Annan, although he is nominally grateful to Annan for his contribution to the Salz School of Magic, but he has already given more than Annan has paid. As a man who never treated his companions badly, Annan wanted the Mage Tower to be the reliant of Dean Brehim.

By the way, it is more deeply bound to the dean.

"When will it be able to form combat power?" Annan asked.

"It depends on when the items on the list are delivered."

"Ingrid has gone shopping."

Includes the Orichalcum required for the second layer of the Mage's Tower.

They came out of the Mage's Tower. When he was farther away, Annan looked back at the full view of the Mage Tower.

The appearance of the Liberty City Mage Tower is nothing special about the other mage towers, and it looks like an ordinary masonry façade, except for the massive ...... It's almost the size of a village.

Therefore, the orichalcum they spent nearly 500,000 gold coins to buy can only be used as a skeleton, and the appearance is still brick and stone.

In any case, the mere mere presence of such a behemoth was enough to make the enemy hesitate for a while...... If the enemy can recognize it as a mage tower.

Annan went to see the old ancestor, and by the way, urged Ingrid to hurry up and purchase.

Ingrid was silent for a moment: "Do you know that we have a fiscal deficit again?" ”

"Why did you run out of money so quickly...... Isn't our fourth magic video still in theaters? ”

"Because it's not as fast as you can spend on the Mage Tower."

Mage Tower, Oymagne, Floating City...... Annan made money ten times faster than he did.

Ingrid added: "And the benefits are still decreasing......"

Annan thinks this is normal, but Ingrid says that the speed is not normal, at least not as normal as in "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Because the protagonist is not me? Or do they not like orcs starring? Or ......"

Annan suddenly guessed the truth: "Because of the situation in the north? ”

"Hmm."

The turmoil in the north suddenly made the rich people afraid to spend money, and they preferred to spend it on hoarding food, money, and weapons, and had no desire to spend.

In fact, the problem is not serious to that extent, more than 20 theaters still make Liberty City earn thousands of gold coins a day, making countless nobles blush, but Annan, who is used to earning more, suddenly feels the gap.

"At this time, it won't make much money to shoot the fifth part, so let the businessmen outside continue to build the theater."

The new production determines the upper limit of the revenue, and the theater guarantees the lower limit of the revenue.

Then Annan went to the garden to meet the ancestor and told her about the connection with the northern fortress: "Do you have a way to make the Divine Temple Council convene tonight?" ”

"Huh? When did Annan Jr. become a member of parliament? The old ancestor asked with a smile.

Annan said shyly, "I didn't come to Middle-earth at that time. ”

The old ancestor is simply no different from a god. That night, Annan appeared in the temple of God.

A grand voice echoed from the Throne of Bones: "I have a friend who told me that the demons are pouring into the north from the gap in the snowy mountain fortress, and the fortress defending the demons is in name only, and they are ready to withdraw from the fortress......"

This is exactly the opposite of what previous thinkers in various countries have speculated, so there are many doubts.

Faced with the confusion of the councilors, the King of Bones simply said, "They are the ones who are in contact with the demons, not us." ”

The hall of the Divine Hall resounded like the noise of a market. Watching the Holy Council quarrel, Annan suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.

Each of them has his own selfish interests...... Understandable. Even Annan would think from the standpoint of Liberty City. But on a macro level, Annan prefers that they will unite.

After all, it was only one of the thirteen rat clans wreaking havoc in the North. Without the betrayers, they would not have been able to capture the snowy mountains as if they were no one.

Now they should take advantage of the fact that they can recover, deal with the McCain Clan, and then drive the demon back to the north of the snowy mountain......

But that's politics: a group of the smartest people in the world will do countless stupid things for the sake of profit.

Now, Annan just wants to return to that fairytale free city and continue to play with friends and aliens.

"Hey-shh

There was a call from behind, and Annan turned around to see Khamis VI, three floors away, calling out to himself.

"My lord told me that a boat came in from the Bell River, is that yours?"

"That's right."

"What? I can't hear clearly—"

"That's right!" Annan nodded.

"That's good, I can get to my royal capital by next spring at the latest." "My theatre has been vacated for you, don't let me down!" ”

"Don't worry."

The parliamentarians between them were standing up and yelling, and Annan and Khamis VI hid in the space under his armpit whispering.

The turmoil in the north is too far away from Khamis VI to the east, so it doesn't feel the slightest pressure. Curious, Khamis VI asked, "Who would be the friend of the King of Bones?" ”

"It's me."

Khamis VI's mouth opened wide.

At this time, the council, which had been arguing for dozens of minutes, finally came up with a solution at the suggestion of the King of Bones: to launch a third expedition - Annan's Liberty City expedition was actually counted as the second.

With the Tatun Empire as the boundary, all monarchs and lords in the north and west of the Tatun Empire must participate in the Third Expedition.

But the proposal was rejected because winter was approaching. As long as the nezumi hide underground, the expeditionary force will repeat the same mistakes.

The new proposal of the King of Gold and the King of Bronze is to send a team to the Snow Mountain Fortress to investigate, led by the Tatooun Empire.

The King of Bones agreed.

The result wasn't good or bad - the lords were still preserving their strength, but at least they were aware of the dire consequences of the demonic invasion of the North.
