A strange world

Chapter 183 Chapter 36. Dara wakes up

"Sean competed with the nobles at the auction house. The nobles sent people to assassinate Sean and regain the treasure..."

Compared to "The Fall of the Mage Tower", Soruman Bronzebeard prefers "The Sky" and always encourages Annan to make the second magic video, "This is the plot of "The Sky"!"

She yelled that the mage named Murat was the master.

"This is trouble, you shouldn't be so happy." Ingrid said.

Xingyue Bay was unable to help, so Annan had no choice but to ask for help from Olmedo.

"5,000 gold coins and you didn't even send a guard?"

Olmedo didn't know whether to say Annan was trusting of others or contemptuous of money. Annan's reason is that Betar City is the Betar City of the Diatra family, and sending guards is like telling Gemma, "I want to do something in your territory."

"I will ask Betar City to help as the city lord and on behalf of the Mage Tower."

After finishing the conversation, Annan walked out of the big house. There was also a major event in Xingyue Bay today, a milestone - the last batch of territorial residents moved into the new town.

In twenty days, more than a dozen mansions were built to accommodate all the remaining residents, and the workers worked feverishly to demolish the camp that had been inhabited for almost three months.

"After living here for almost three months, I already have feelings..."

With that said, Christian dismantled it faster than anyone else. The camp soon turned into a lumber camp. These wooden Annams will pay the greatest respect to mankind - they will not be wasted.

Following the northern custom of finishing work outside in winter, they drank a bowl of hot soup to warm themselves up. Kerrian and other guard reservists put on their standard coats and lined up on the streets to patrol and train.

When passing by the mansion with the girl, Kerian couldn't help but puff up his chest, and his sonorous steps merged into the sound of neat boots hitting the ground.

What Francois suggested is a good idea... looking at today's financial report sent by Ingrid: Xingyue Bay's finances have shrunk to three digits. Annan thought.

But Breeze City was so familiar to him that Annan was ashamed to do such a thing there. Those in Olmedo were not shy about laughing.

The King of the North in other cities is just the King of the North, and is not as close to "Jack" as people want to get close to.

There were other sounds mixed in with the campfire and the snoring of the orcs. Annan raised his head, and the reserve guards outside the window passed by in order.

Annan's attention returned from the patrolling guard to his eyes:

The fish caught from the ice in the bay were not enough to fill a basket, so the daily rice soup had to be replaced with fish soup. Selling cement is a good idea, but the houses and roads in Xingyue Bay are like bottomless pits swallowing all the mined limestone. They don't have enough themselves, and the formula cannot be sold.

There is still a lot of work to be done in Xingyue Bay now. The lord's mansion, the lighthouse, more buildings, as well as the development of farmland and the construction of a seaport after civilization. But what if these are done?

Xingyue Bay now has no output, and Annan cannot always support the people, so money must be circulated.

Xingyue Bay needs more shops, factories, goods and trade, and also needs to communicate with the outside world.

Annan planned to contact Olmedo, looked around and then got up and went out, so that the orcs who woke up did not have to follow him. He picked up the hem of his robe and climbed up the low hill.

Looking at the quiet and peaceful Xingyue Bay in the distance, the scenery below is just right, Annan releases the low-level summoning technique.

The ogre's thick skin moved away, revealing Olmedo wrapped in a blanket. Her eyes moved to Xingyue Bay where Annan's back was: "It's very beautiful there."

"Scenery like this can be seen everywhere..." Annan revealed the purpose of doing this: "Xingyue Bay is already a town, and we need caravans to visit."

Businessmen are not stupid. What can happen in more than three months? Winter has not yet passed, and the "King of the North" and "Jack" cannot erase their prejudice that Xingyue Bay is a barren small village——

If someone said that a lord spent 5,000 gold to build a territory in more than three months, they would just laugh and send the person to the court of justice and say that this guy's head was contaminated by the evil god.

So they have to see the current situation of Xingyue Bay with their own eyes.

"Then let a few caravans deliver the next goods."

Transportation costs tens of gold coins more than the portal, but what you get is that Xingyue Bay can officially trade with the outside world.

However, the dilemma of Xingyue Bay has not been alleviated. Annan needed money... He thought of the gilded mountain in the Blue Dragon's lair. There were roughly two to three thousand gold coins and dozens of gems on it, as well as the "picked up" legacy of the attacked convoy...

"Good morning, beautiful lady blue dragon."

Annan smiled and greeted the blue dragon on the other side of the portal. It lay lazily on the gilded mountain, letting the ghost wash its scales.

The escaping dragon's breath attracted the attention of the nearby knights. The captain of the personal guard took a look, vague words sounded on the low hill, and he rode away.

"...It's not a loan...it's just a 'loan'..."

"Those are still your money..."

"...In just one month...100 gold coins will become 105 gold coins..."

Under the gentle and warm words, the blue dragon was almost persuaded by Annan, but when the three ghosts and two skeletons moved the treasure, the dragon's greed for money made it stretch out its claws to hold down the poor skeletons.

The dragon's instinct has awakened. Now, it is no longer "100 gold coins become 105 gold coins", but "Annan wants to take away its 100 gold coins"!

"If I don't give you 100 gold coins, you don't have to give me 100 gold coins. I have 2,663 gold coins. You can directly give me 133 gold and 15 silver every month."

Annan's conspiracy came to an end before it was shameless.

"I am Annan Reeves." Annan made his last effort and looked at the mage's robe and other miscellaneous items at the foot of the mountain.

Those are the legacy of the Reeves family.

"My name is Illymoas Safedt Orthuzad!"

But the blue dragon would rather tell his true name than give up those relics. It is indeed not easy to defraud the treasure from the claws of the dragon clan...

Annan had no choice but to give up his plan to borrow money from Grandet's Blue Dragon Claw, and invited Ilimoyas Shafei... to build a nest in Xingyue Bay as usual.

"Annan Reeves, if you are willing to pay 133 gold and 15 silver every month, I can join your territory."

"What did you say? Blue dragon? Elimo——"

The portal was annihilated, and the anxiety on Annan's face disappeared.

Summoning a blue dragon for 133 gold a month, which is now a master level and will be an epic level in a few decades, seems to be a sure profit, but why spend money when Annan can get it for free?

Back in the warm house, Annan went to the second floor to visit the "hibernating" Della. It has been nearly a month, and Della's complexion is still pale and gray.

Is this oxidation caused by being frozen for too long, or is it a transformation into a ratman or an elf?

Annan got closer to the bed, trying to get a clear look at Dai La's skin. The ice that had never melted suddenly shattered and splashed. A gray figure jumped out of the ice and grabbed Annan, pressing him down like a chilling ice cube.

"I'm Della!" Annan shouted incoherently.

When Darla woke up, she smiled:

"Then who am I?"
