Chapter 179 32. The Three Little Pigs

“I thought you would let the epic mage handle this matter.”

The news that Xingyue Bay successfully resisted the snow tide was sent to Breeze through the portal City, Olmedo praised.

"This does not require Mr. Swaro to take action. I just stood on the city wall, and the Frost Giant wizard gave up his march south under my intimidation."

"If I want to hear the truth, What?”

"The truth is that I listened to your advice." Annan looked around the busy city wall, and workers were clearing trees in the river to prevent the melting glaciers from blocking the river in a few months. "We saved our homeland ourselves, which is more important than anything else."

The snow wave has stopped. This pure white cold is approaching the city wall, making Xingyue Bay ready to prepare, but it is still more than two hundred miles away from Breeze City. The position stopped.

The Frost Giant Wizard is not stupid enough to use the power of the snowy mountains to invade Breeze City.

However, Olmedo warned Annan that the expansion of the territory of the Frost Giant tribe living at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is inevitable. Recently, beware of the north. The Frost Giants may not be able to see the weakness of Xingyue Bay and attack again.

They are already doing this. Right now, the coldest snowstorm since winter is brewing over the northern forest sea.

At this time, a group of uninvited guests from Glacier Port appeared outside Xingyue Bay.

“We bring Lord Gema’s inquiry.” The knight who still didn’t know about Xingyue Bay’s resistance to the snow wave said: “As long as you agree, Lord Gema will immediately lead his soldiers to support.”

Annan issued an unprecedentedly cold tone: "Leave my Xingyue Bay, or stay forever."

The knights retreated uneasily.

"You are becoming more and more like a true King of the North now." Ingrid emerged from behind holding a note, "Except for the fact that you do everything yourself."

"Because of the lack of manpower."

Although the improvement of the happiness and happiness of the people will make Annan feel satisfied, he still wants to see the world everywhere, such as going to the south...

In short, The crisis was over, and Annan had plenty of time to play the lord game with Gema.

The magic ring just accumulated enough magic power, Annan summoned a large fire elemental, and let it drive the knights away, making them run faster - in fact, Annan wanted to capture them for hard labor, and so did the horses. The best Northern Wanma.

It would take some time for the snowstorm in the north to sweep across Xingyue Bay. After the workers cleaned up the river, Annan rewarded them as promised a few days ago.

In order to make the three thousand workers who supported Xingyue Bay realize what the reward was, Annan led them along the neat streets to the townhouse, and asked Francois to hand over twenty keys to the twenty most hardworking workers. workers.

Then Annan revealed his real purpose in doing so - it was an insult to let the three thousand workers go back intact.

“The workers who are willing to stay will also be my people. Like other subjects, you can have enough to eat every day, live in brand new and warm rooms, have endless work to do, and are perfected. "Legal protection."

Ingrid, the financial statistician, hesitated to speak.

Only the living expenses of the territorial residents are close to 300 gold per month... If these workers are really left behind, unless they do not care about the life and death of the territorial residents like other territories, Xingyue Bay's finances will not be able to support it for a few months.

Fortunately, less than a hundred workers were willing, and ten of them were rewarded workers. Including their families, there are almost two to three hundred people.

Then they will be paid today’s salary as agreed, and then use the portal to send them back to Breeze City.

Annan never shied away from paying salaries. If you want the territory to start trading, you must first make the people have money - although there is currently no place to spend money in Xingyue Bay except the tavern.

All outsiders have gone back, and the new residents and their families have also been brought back. Xingyue Bay began to celebrate: the specific way was to watch "The Fall of the Mage Tower" while eating.

The result was forced to end due to the howling cold wind and snowflakes in the middle of the night.

...

The Frost Giant wizard is still testing Xingyue Bay, and the evidence is the snowstorm that lasted for three days. But Xingyue Bay is not an ordinary territory. In theory, the entire population of Breeze City can be drilled here overnight. There is no shortage of supplies here, the residents just have to hide in their houses and not see the sun for several days.

The citizens who had nothing to do began to spread rumors that the lord's right-hand man burst into tears after the snow tide crisis.

The angry Francois learned about it and ordered an investigation, but all ended in vain. There is only news from unknown sources: It is said that the shadow of the lord is looming behind this incident...

Huh——

The cold wind poured into the open door, and the fireplace bonfire was swaying.

Francois closed the door and shook the snow off his hair and shoulders.

Annan was chatting with Bronzebeard: "Is it strange for elemental life in the material world?"

"It's not strange, earth-dwelling dwarves live together with earth elements."

"They live together? Are there male and female earth elements?"

"Stop your dangerous thoughts! Warlock!"

"Annan... I have something to tell you. "Francois glanced at Bronzebeard and Ingrid in the big room, both of them were his own: "Have you heard the recent rumors?"

"What rumors?"

"The lord's right-hand man burst into tears after the snow wave crisis..." Francois stared at Annan, "Do you have a clue?"

"Are you crying?" Annan looked at Ingrid in surprise and expressed relief: "I'm glad you can integrate into Xingyue Bay."

Pretending to be stupid doesn't work for Francois, because he Always do this: "You know it's not Ingrid."

"It can't be you..."

Annan picked the wrong opponent. The shameless Baron didn't even bother to use "snowflakes falling into his eyes" as an excuse: "Yes, it was me who cried. And the only one who saw this scene, my dear lord."

"My Fire Where's the crow? It seems I haven't communicated with my sisters today." Annan tilted her head and asked Ingrid.

There was a sound of Bronzebeard clicking his tongue at the side, and she regretted that she didn't have a glass of beer to toast this wonderful scene.

There was another whistling sound outside the window, and Annan said: "Do you know the story of the three little pigs?"

This was not a question, Annan took the initiative to tell the story of the three little pigs: " The three little pigs built three houses. The lazy pig built a straw house, the normal little pig built a wooden house, and the hard-working little pig built a stone house... The big bad wolf blew down the straw house. The wooden house was knocked down, but there was nothing we could do with the stone house..."

As if to verify Annan's story, the blizzard outside the window gradually weakened, and the sloping snowflakes became gentle again.

Francois stopped asking questions because he already knew the answer.

"Those Frost Giants gave up?" Bronzebeard said, opening the door.

The fire in the fireplace swayed weakly, and the sky was still gloomy, but it was no longer as dark as evening.

Annan stood in front of the door stepping on the snow. He raised his head and saw a shadow passing under the clouds with falling snowflakes.

An owl?
