Chapter 776 7. The God of Fertility
“Is it too late to change the initiator now?”
Annan looked at the merchants as if looking at the beating gold coins.
“Your title of ‘Banquet Killer’ is just a coincidence, not true.” Olmedo comforted with a smile.
“Really?”
Strictly speaking, "Something's bound to happen at the banquet" is indeed not very scientific...not very magical.
Annan is still a little worried. The arcane energy core was taken away earlier today...
This period should be regarded as the most dangerous time in Liberty City.
"Cancel the banquet if you are really worried?"
"That won't work!"
Rather than drive away his gold coins, Annan would rather take some risks.
As guests filled the auditorium, the banquet began.
These businessmen come from all over the Allen continent, and the reason why they come to Liberty City is mostly related to their admiration - some admire Annan, and some admire money.
Itilia specially placed a row of long tables on one side of the banquet. The tables were not common food, but specialties unique to Liberty City.
From magic guns and artillery to cement, magic stones, wheelchairs, bras, and cheap products like Fast pants.
The most popular is undoubtedly the Philosopher's Stone, but Liberty City has always refused to sell the Eternal Philosopher's Stone. It seems that if you sell one, you can earn at least a thousand gold coins, but if you don't sell many, there will be a gap - those businessmen who have the eternal magic stone will definitely open a theater, and sharing the profits is a trivial matter, but It will allow pirates to get involved...
It is normal to sell ten Eternal Magic Stones and pop up a hundred theaters.
The second is bras and fast pants, which are low-cost specialties that everyone loves. There is no doubt that Liberty City is at the forefront of "fashion" - even the word "fashion" was first coined by "The Voice of Liberty". Those civilians who despise magical images and are reluctant to buy magical newspapers, but are surrounded by news from Free City, will always buy a pair of cheap and affordable Fast pants.
But not everything is popular, and no one cares about some items that are not worth the money, such as bras, wheelchairs, glasses... Rather than spending a lot of money to ship them back, why not secretly make them yourself?
These things don’t require skills. A mage apprentice can polish them if he knows how to do them.
And cement...especially cement! If you fill a ship with this stuff and transport it to other ports for sale, your colleagues will laugh at you!
The Tatooine Empire bought the cement formula because it is one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings and needs to maintain the rules. But this kind of cement formula can be analyzed by an alchemist apprentice in three days, and it is not worth paying for when it is spread everywhere...
They would rather give their wealth and women directly to Annan than be stupid. Buy cement formula.
So much so that these solid, strong, and convenient cement structures are being built everywhere in Middle-earth, especially in the north, but their inventors did not make much profit.
In fact, Annan can continue to develop improved versions of cement, such as increasing the solidity by 10%, and then selling it once, then increasing it by 10%, and selling it again to repeat the harvest... But his focus is on On the magic gunpowder, cement was temporarily put on hold.
Weapons that allow the Skaven to evaporate quickly are far more important than defense lines that allow the Skaven to chew on them for longer.
You need to know: Everything in Liberty City at this moment is preparing for the "large-scale invasion of ratmen".
The merchants purchased a large amount of special products and prepared to make a fortune. Annan seemed to hear the sweet sound of gold coins falling. As the banquet was getting warmer, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived outside the city lord's palace.
“A group of believers who claim to be the Envoys of Fertility want to see you.” Captain Losey of the Guards came in to report.
Annan and Itilia looked at each other: "Those guys who are doing blood sacrifices in the north?"
"I'm not sure... Do I want to arrest him?"
"No need for now, I'll go out and have a look."
Taking Olmedo with him, Annan came to the outside of the city lord's palace and saw that A group of "envoys of fertility" were surrounded by musketeers, wearing floor-length gray robes and wreaths of wheatgrass on their heads.
They are followers of the goddess of fertility. And among them, at least one of them claims to be a "messenger of God" and is a bishop. "Hello, followers of Ms. Satsuma." The leading elderly bishop looked at Annan kindly, not at all like an evil person who launched a blood sacrifice.
"Ms. Satsuma is the goddess of fertility." Olmedo whispered next to her.
"Believer? Me?" Annan asked in confusion.
"The city is full of wheat ears represented by ladies, of course you are."
Annan suddenly knew what had attracted them.
“I am not a believer in the goddess of fertility.” Annan explained, but considering the world’s treatment of unbelievers, he added: “I believe in something else.”
"Please leave."
"We mean no harm."
"But you held an evil blood sacrifice in the north."
The white-haired bishop was not angry. , said calmly: "Your Excellency Annan, I want to tell a story..."
A butcher and a priest made an appointment to wake each other up every day. On the day they died, the butcher woke up one person every day to save someone. Those who have done good deeds will enter the Kingdom of God after death. And because the priest woke up a murderer every day and did bad things, he was rejected from the Kingdom of God after his death.
"Those people died because they were guilty..."
"What kind of evil god is this?"
Annan interrupted the God of Fertility and said unhappily: "Everyone can see it. The priest is innocent, can't he see it? Then I can only think that this is some evil god who plays tricks on believers. "Oh, come to think of it, Spider Queen Rose has done this."
At this time, far away in the dark area, the little spider sleeping in the silly cat's hair suddenly woke up as if feeling something.
The bishop was still not angry and looked at Annan lovingly: "But you have the same character...
" Huh? "
"They said that everyone in Liberty City is spotless, the dishes in the restaurant have to be washed seventeen times, and even the water in the public bathroom is drinkable. ”
“Why didn’t I know? "
Annan thought of someone for a moment, raised his head with great happiness, and saw Evelin hiding in the shadows holding the magic stone.
"It's none of my business!"
Evelin, who was brought over by the lemon summoned by Annan, hurriedly proved her innocence: "They are all wishful thinking that everything in Liberty City is beautiful..."
"Really?"
"I...I have said some things that ridiculed the Kingdom of Ruikanle at most..."
"What did you say?"
"The children from the Kingdom of Rekaner competed with the children from Liberty City, and it started to rain. The children from the Kingdom of Rekaner ran to the house to hide from the rain, and laughed at them for being stupid, while the children from Liberty City insisted on completing the task in the heavy rain..."
Annan laughed in anger, and Evelin's eyes lit up. She pulled out her notebook and wrote while saying:
"The Lord of Liberty City was so angry that he cried because of the God of Plenty! The God of Plenty said openly Liberty City is not as good as the Kingdom of Rekaner..."
"Lemon, throw Evelin out!"
