Section 80 The Floating City is just a lie
Chapter 849 Section 80.Floating City is just a lie
In the eyes of the people of Middle-earth, Liberty City is special.
The city-state possessed wealth that even a small nation could hardly match, and its prestige was not as good as that of many ancient kingdoms.
Whether it was ridicule or admiration, they had to admit one thing: it was all thanks to the Warlock City Lord.
So the major forces like to stare at Annan's every move, such as what he did yesterday, what he wants to do today, and what he is going to do tomorrow. And because Liberty City has never cultivated its own intelligence organization, they are clear about Annan's every move.
Even visited the succubus massage parlor a few times and said something to the owner, Annan may not remember, but they remember it clearly.
So in the morning Annan was still giving a speech, and at noon the various forces in Middle-earth knew about it, and in the afternoon even the taverns were talking about it.
Duchy of Keating.
As a "city of trade", the Duchy of Keating has always had its eyes on the "city of trade" of Liberty City.
Their relationship was instinctively good, Annan was a nostalgic man, and those who had been with him were treated favorably, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Franking, had befriended him as early as Breezy and bought dozens of Susan spinning machines.
There will be no later arrogant missions...... In short, the relationship between the Duchy of Keating and Liberty City is now "half good, half bad". Because of Annan's old love and ambiguity with the elven royal court, he had a good relationship with the half-elf Chancellor of the Exchequer, Frankning, but he hated the original envoy group very much.
It is in line with the Principality of Keating's positioning of itself as "neutral": half of us are in favor and half are against, so how is it not neutral?
At this time, the city of trade, Castle Petersen. Kea Peterson, a former mission to Liberty City, sat in his luxuriously carved sofa, playing with ancient vessels dug out of the seabed by the Sea Clan, and listened to the butler's report.
"You're saying Freetown is going to launch a general assault on the ratmen?" Kea Peterson with mockery.
"With what? Is it to give each person a magic musket? ”
"It's not...... Have you forgotten that Liberty City is a floating city......"
Kea Peterson paused: "What is floating in the air?" ”
"Floating City."
"I know, didn't you say that Floating City is just a rumor!"
"Master, Liberty City earns more than 100,000 gold coins a month, and they don't spend much money, where can this money go? According to Wilhelm's grapevine, Freetown is not just a floating city, it is also powered by medium-sized arcane cores! ”
Kea Peterson, who was waiting to see the Liberty City joke, ranted, "Is he sick!?" Turn your city into a floating city but never float!? ”
"Uh...... Sir, they're going to float now. ”
……
Copperbeard was forced to get busier.
Floating cities are just floating cities, and they can't just float over the heads of enemies and smash them to death - to turn Liberty City into a war fortress, a variety of weapons, including the Orichese Cannon, are essential.
The good news is that it's not just the Copper Whiskers who are busy.
Annan transferred both Michael and Deng Weishao from the Mushroom House to the blacksmith shop, and tried to set up a circle of olivens on the edge of Liberty City when he reached the Ash Mountains.
Erie was on the run with someone from the building department at all times to check the stability of the house so that it wouldn't knock over the building when it rose.
Olmedo and Editia confirm the boundaries of the floating sky: Villefranche is about 1,250 meters in size and contains almost all of the main urban areas. Ports, farmland and some factories are excluded.
Itilia signed an order to build a warehouse next to the harbor to store supplies during Freetown's absence.
Olmedo gave Annan a list of invitations, including Skeletron Leonepa, Dean Brehim, the Stulet family, and Lady Winter, who followed Princess Sails to Montreal Hills.
Nominally, it's an invitation list, but in fact it wants them to follow Liberty City to the north.
Ingrid took these to evacuate the crowd, and as a result, not only the residents didn't want to leave, but even the tourists didn't want to do it — the experience of staying in a rising floating city was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.
The inhabitants are even happier, they are going to change from "ordinary Freeville residents" to "noble floating city residents"!
Even Aunt Susan became the spiritual leader of the women of Liberty City, leading them to busily put away the potted plants on the windowsill and the clothes on the clothesline.
After Henry and a group of necromancers were busy with the autumn harvest, he took the skeleton rats to the forest and mountains to cut wood. The elves didn't care about them anymore, after all, they would cut and plant as much as they wanted, and the druids followed.
Annan, on the contrary, is the most idle person. In between regaining his powers, he even had the leisure to flip through the war reports from the north and the news from other shopping streets.
There was a lot of anticipation outside, and the Empire praised it, but there were also some strange voices, such as Kea Peterson of the Duchy of Keating saying that a floating city would not change anything.
"Does he hate me?" Annan asked puzzled, thinking that they should hate him.
Francois, who was picked up by Annan from Sturet, said: "A businessman values face more than anything else, especially for a businessman. ”
It seems that I will have to take care of their face when dealing with them in the future......
In addition to Francois, there are dozens of vampire nobles. It is said that Princess Crimson also wanted to come, but was stopped by the queen.
Lady Winter arrived with her guards herself. In addition to the two epic mages, there is also a whole corps of mages and legions of archers.
Skeletron is on his own, and his undead legions are not suitable for populated areas, but a legendary seat is more useful than any support.
Annan led Skeletron to see the Otherworldly Tree, standing in front of a young tree taller than Skeletron, talking about whether the Floating City could reach the Gray Mountain Range without any problems.
What he was most worried about was that the Rat-Man's Forbidden Demon Realm would affect the Floating City...... Skeletron told him not to worry, as one of the most outstanding works of the ancient arcanists, if the Floating City were forbidden to fall, it did not deserve to be the pinnacle.
Even without mana supply, a small Arcane Core can keep the Floating City floating in the sky for years, and a medium Arcane Core will only last longer.
"There's another problem, the movement speed of the floating city ......"
"It's the same as migrating birds."
Annan frowned, Fermi and they couldn't wait that long: "Can we jump over?" It is...... Teleport over with magic. ”
"Annan, you know, magic is not a wishing fountain."
Annan tried to turn to the merchants on Wilhelm's side, but they said there was a way to get Freetown to reach the Ash Mountains in two days—but for extra money.
"How much?"
"Only fifteen million gold coins."
"Silver?"
"Kinnar."
"Fifteen hundred kinnar?"
"Fifteen million kinnar."
