As December arrives, the weather is getting colder by the day, and the sea fog that filled Liberty City earlier today left a thin layer of frost, but the warmth melted after sunrise, leaving children looking forward to a snowy day.

Now the nights are so cold that they are about to freeze, and many houses are starting to burn for warmth. This is where the benefits of the mansion come in: because the flue in the communal kitchen and common areas keeps the entire mansion at a constant temperature as long as the fireplace is lit. Those who bought a single-family house could also afford to spend firewood.

Coupled with the generous salaries paid by the City Lord's Mansion after hiring workers, it ensured that everyone could afford to buy a warm piece of clothing.

At least this winter, no one will be freezing—except for the drunk who falls drunk on the side of the road.

Only Dade is not so happy watching the trees being cut down.

Annan observed the subtle mood of his Minister of Agriculture, and told her that Freetown wanted to create a natural city, and that firewood was only temporary, and that in the future they would use coal instead, and maybe magic in the future.

Dade ate ate to this, no one ever tried to convince the druids with reason, and Annan did what he said - the trees of the forest mountains were not only not diminished by the appearance of Liberty City, but enlarged. The saplings at the edge of the forest thrive under the care of the druids and tree elves, surging with natural life.

What is causing Annan's headache now is the water problem...... When the site was originally selected, because of the existence of the Elemental Legion, Annan did not consider the water source at all, and chose this place because of the beauty of Jewel Bay. Now it seems that there is always a reason why a beautiful bay is unattended.

While there was no water crisis in Liberty City as springs from the forested mountains were brought downhill, winter was approaching and the rivers were frozen and depleted.

The water is fine, and the 164 mages registered in Liberty City can solve it with water magic, but the drainage system of the public toilets is helpless.

Unless discharged into the bay or with seawater.

The former doesn't say anything about others, and Lela alone can't spare him. And Annan didn't want the future Freetown people to wander in the sea of excrement and garbage.

The latter is a minor problem for corroding pipes, but it can make the manure unusable as fertilizer.

It is not the feces that the sea washes away, but the wealth of Liberty City.

So Annan has been doing two things lately:

Stick to the magic ring and give it and the Water Elemental Elder a glass of soda when you touch it.

The large water elemental didn't react, but the water elemental elder expressed his delight, and would melt the lemon soda into his body and watch it gurgle and bubble.

It is estimated that if it is sent a few more times, the relationship between Annan and the Water Elemental Elder will become the same as that of the Fire Elemental Elder.

The second thing is to meditate hard, Annan's promotion is imminent, and I hope that the elite will change the situation.

On this day, on the square outside the city lord's mansion, the crowd was lined up in two loose lines.

The staff of the City Lord's Mansion in front of the temporary tent was asking the strong man in front of him: "Hello, do you want to apply for a worker or a miner?" ”

"Are you blind? I'm a professional! The strong man flexed his muscles: "Give me a job that a professional can do!" ”

"It's all a basic commission, if you need a special commission, please line up over there." The City Lord's Mansion personnel smiled formulaically.

"You take care of it for me." The strong man stared at him.

"Sorry, only basic orders are accepted here."

The strong man gasped and was about to argue with the officials when a calm voice sounded behind him.

"If you don't do it, get out of the way."

The strong man was about to get angry when he caught a glimpse of a guy in a mage's robe standing behind him...... A mage?

He stood by and wanted to see what this guy wanted to do.

"Hello, are you going to apply for a worker or a miner?" There has been no change in the attitude of the officials.

The young mage replied, "Workers." ”

"What is your mage level?"

"Level three."

"Level 3 Mage...... With the duration of releasing thirty mage hands in a row, you need to work for forty-five minutes to one hundred and twenty minutes, and the hourly wage of an ordinary mage is six gold coins, can you accept it? ”

The mage bowed his head with a reserved bow.

The official handed him a piece of parchment: "Please go to the northern or western walls and start work." ”

The mages who received the parchment left spontaneously avoiding the people around them, and two guards also approached them: "Is there anyone making trouble here?" ”

The official didn't speak, and glanced at the strong man on the side.

The strong man stared at the muskets on the guards' backs, revealing jealousy.

After some outsiders who didn't understand the rules made trouble and were punished, the power of these magic items has spread...... Giving precious magic items to ordinary people, that city lord of Annam is really rich and generous......

But the dignity of the warrior did not allow him to bow his head: "I was in the wrong line." After saying that, the strong man raised his head and squeezed through the crowd to line up another line.

The official looked up and the two guards looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and greeted the second mage in the line.

"Are you going to apply for a worker or a miner?"

"I'm a second-level mage of the Summoning School."

"Two low-level water elementals last 20 minutes, and the hourly wage of an ordinary mage is six gold coins......"

A conversation floated in the distance, and the strong man who shrunk his shoulders muttered in his heart: "What the hell...... These mages would come to do the work of untouchables......"

On the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Annan stood in front of the window, looking at the crowd in the square.

It's a familiar feeling to prepare for the game now......

At the beginning, it was also in Xingyue Bay, we prepared for war, we built walls, and we ran away......

But this time was different.

Annam looks out over the walls that stretch in a line to the north.

This time it's different......

……

In the past, the population of Xingyue Bay was only a few thousand, but now it is ten times that of then, and there are mage towers and powerful neighbors that were not available at that time.

The theaters scattered in the Tatooan Empire, the Duchy of Montabullock, the Kingdom of Dimon, and the Duchy of Keating began to exert their strength, posting notices to summon the people of the former Breeze City and Starmoon Bay.

The old people were evacuated by Annan and Olmedo in the kingdom of Dumon and Middle-earth, and now, the entire northwestern part of the continent of Allen is swept up in the clouds of chaos, but no one has moved them anymore.

Annan and Olmedo had to take responsibility for their former people. They plan to send the old people to the typhoon shelter town of Olmedo and return home through the portal.

After five months of digestion, Liberty City has been able to accept a new wave of residents.

Annan wanted to leave the matter to Francois, but Joan ran to the city lord's mansion and volunteered. The down-and-out girl who once called herself Joan Iksera Joan of Arc Behdad Clemonkett Montreal, pretending to be the Golden Family, now looks like a real nobleman after studying hard at school.

The neat shawl with short hair and the masculine dress set off the Peugeot's posture...... And almost taller than Annan.
