Chapter 186 39. Changing Homes
Annan never imagined that he would end up in Xingyue Bay - Gema felt proud as the carriage jolted.
After discovering Annan's presence in Breeze City, Gemma realized that this was a good opportunity to sneak into Glacier Bay. He joins the caravan heading to Glacier Bay and sets out with those traders who are as mean and annoying as flies.
It is now the afternoon of the fifth day of departure, and Glacier Bay should be just ahead...
What interrupts Gama is the sudden disappearance of the bumps, and the horseshoes outside the carriage have become like treads. As crisp as on the stone road.
Gema opened the door and found that the businessmen on the other carriages were also looking around and at the ground in surprise - they hadn't arrived at Xingyue Bay yet, but the road surface was no longer the mud that turned into a swamp in the spring, but was smooth and flat. of unimaginable rock paved roads.
The businessmen were unable to satisfy their curiosity as the team continued to move forward. They continued to drive for a few minutes, and there were no longer repetitive forests on both sides - the road extended forward to a new, exquisite town and a bay in the distance. caught everyone's eyes at the same time.
Those houses are similar in style to those in the north, but they are particularly exquisite. Some buildings are as solemn as mansions, but allow townspeople to enter and exit freely. They are built along neatly staggered roads, with a sense of beauty called order.
The vast bay in the distance also made many people speechless who had never seen the ocean and thought it was just a slightly larger lake.
The businessmen couldn't help but marvel - they couldn't imagine that this already prosperous prototype town was built in less than four months, nor could they imagine how much the "King of the North" spent .
But as the motorcade stopped, their attention fell from the scenery to their feet, groping and slapping the ground,
Gema didn't want to do this, but he also didn't want to stand when everyone was squatting, so he also Following the exploration of the road, this stone is much rougher than rock.
I don’t know when some townspeople gathered in the distance. They looked here, and the expressions they showed made Gema sting. It was the ridicule he showed when the things he gave casually were regarded as treasures by others. .
At this time, a young lady appeared in front of the caravan.
Ingrid...Annan's assistant to the city lord's mistress. Ge Ma watched her welcome them on behalf of Xingyue Bay. The King of the North is not here, is he still in Breeze City?
The businessmen rushed to ask about the stones on the ground. Ingrid led them to a construction site. Some workers were stirring gray-white mud and then pouring it into the foundation to solidify into the shape of a road.
“This is the alchemy material that our lord, Annan, King of the North, found with great difficulty from the inheritance of his ancestors. We call it cement because it flows like muddy water, but after solidification, it is as hard as rock.”
Ingrid motioned them to look at the stretching city walls and buildings in the north: "Relying on this precious alchemical material, we successfully withstood the snow wave and built these beautiful houses."
< br>After talking for so long, countless businessmen who have realized the business opportunities are already salivating:
“Do we have a chance to buy such a good thing!”
Gema glanced at the shouting merchant, who seemed to be a new face he had never seen in the caravan... He concentrated a little and listened to Ingrid's next words:
"You are lucky, Our Lord Annan is generous and kind, he cannot stand people living in filthy and chaotic places..."
Businessmen agreed, look at this town, the houses where the townspeople live, and where they live Not even that good!
"He allowed the sale of cement, but because this alchemical material requires some special, difficult-to-renew resources... we temporarily set the price at one gold coin per thousand pounds."
The merchants were in an uproar. ——The price is so cheap that it seems like it’s free. They can even make a fortune by transporting cement to other cities and selling it, offsetting the expensive tolls.
But there are still some people who are greedy: "If we want the formula..."
Ingrid coldly ordered the guards to expel the "businessman" who said this.
“We welcome guests, but not bandits.”
Idiot...Gema laughed in his heart, for Annan, such a precious alchemy material, he actually wanted to sell it for money... ...Of course he wouldn't mind if the enemy was stupid, so he decided to ask the housekeeper to prepare one hundred... one thousand gold coins after he returned, and snatch all the cement back to Glacier Port.
"Actually, the low price of cement is because of a request." Ingrid said, "Xingyue Bay is remote and unknown. If it were not for the purpose of transporting supplies, you would not come here... …So we hope you can promote the real Xingyue Bay and treat Xingyue Bay as a town for trade.” The businessman quickly promised to promote Xingyue Bay, and even Gema said that he would buy a building in Xingyue Bay when he saw the new face. House——
Next, Ingrit also arranged food and activities for the businessmen. When they learned that the event was a screening of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", they all praised Xingyue Bay's generosity.
Tickets for "The Fall of the Mage Tower" cost 1 silver coin. They didn't spend a penny, which was equivalent to earning 1 silver coin!
Now is not a good time to investigate Xingyue Bay.
Ingrit led the businessmen to the theater. When they marveled that Xingyue Bay even had a theater, and Gema snorted, the magic image gradually lit up...
Three hours later, "The Fall of the Mage Tower" ended. Ingrid appeared amidst the sobbing of the merchants and told them that they could move freely in Xingyue Bay.
Gama put away the handkerchief and left the theater without looking back.
Wandering in Xingyue Bay, making sure there were no guards following him, Gema quietly took out the silver mirror flashing with magic runes.
“Mirror, tell me where my inner world should be.”
Following the guidance of the magic mirror, Gema came to a mansion and knocked on a door on the second floor.
Knock knock knock——
An old woman opened the door: "Young man, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Gema, Gema Diatra, 伱The owner. "
The woman showed some uneasiness and wanted to close the door, but she was unable to reach the young man.
“Lord Annan said we have no master!”
The woman screamed and Gema had to knock her unconscious. Worried about being heard by others, he hurriedly left the mansion, pointed the magic mirror at the object, and followed the guide to a building with a strange structure - two walls were marked with male patterns and female patterns.
Annan dared to be so blasphemous...
Gema's anger turned into a raging murderous intent after entering the public toilet and seeing the large water element.
Has that guy found out yet? But given the importance of that thing, the King in the North shouldn't just use a large water elemental to guard it after discovering it.
The King in the North just noticed something strange?
Click——
A town citizen walked out of the cubicle holding up his pants and looked at Gema.
Gema turned and walked away in disgust, leaving the inexplicable citizens muttering "Why did someone get angry in the toilet" while letting the water element wash away——
Ten minutes later, Gema Ma stood on the southern promontory, overlooking Xingyue Bay where the guards were searching for something.
"Jie...Annan...you have one last chance."
