Chapter 812 43. Attacking the Montreal Mountain
Evelin finally hid this political joke secretly: What if it comes in use in the future?
In addition to running to the Mushroom House these days, Annan also took time to stroll around Liberty City and met many officials with unfamiliar faces. They run around the Free City with a humble and gentle attitude, practicing the "Free City Code".
Standing on the terrace of the City Lord's Mansion, the bustling streets made Annan realize that Liberty City was no longer the house-like appearance it was at the beginning, and was becoming more and more like a real city.
But there are still not enough manpower... In the final analysis, Liberty City is too young, not even two years old.
"I plan to deepen the connection with Mount Montreal. Do you have any opinions?" This was Annan's idea after seeing the strength of Black Watch and knowing the determination of the empire to defend Middle-earth.
A strong and reliable ally is more important than many things.
Free City currently has only two allies: the Principality of Montable Rock and the Stuart Family.
But they happened to have experienced damage and could not help Liberty City.
Skeleton King is half of it. It is more like Annan’s friend than an ally. As for the age gap... no matter how big it is, can it be bigger than that of an elf mentor?
"Marriage."
"...And beyond that?"
"Deepening the bond."
"Thank you, Ingrid..."
Annan guessed that Olmedo must have said bad things about him to Ingrid, so that an assistant who only knew about official business would target him.
"Then just like other places, spend money to buy the area around the Moonlight Opera House and build it into a commercial street?"
The reason Annan didn't do this at the beginning was that the land on the mountain in Montreal was too expensive... to build there The cost of a commercial street could allow dozens of commercial streets to be built elsewhere.
Now, almost half of the Western Middle-earth has theaters and commercial streets in Liberty City, which is close to saturation, but it can be luxurious and open the commercial streets to Montreal Mountain.
“I will ask Lady Itilia for money later.” Ingrid said.
“We also need a trustworthy person to take charge of the business in Montreal Mountain. Do you have any recommendations?”
Annan planned to arrange for the person in charge to go over and bring Selita Dena and Tribulus back to rest for a few days. Although they are the undead of the Montreal Mountains, and their stories are unknown among children and old people in the Montreal Mountains, they are always people of Liberty City.
They haven’t been to Liberty City yet.
"How about Lorna Gilman?" said Ingrid.
"Lona..."
Annan recalled the name, "How are she and her sister...'brother' doing?"
The only four beneficiaries of Annan's wheelchair: the ancestor, Itilia, Mr. Victor, and finally Lorna Gilman's "brother".
After taking her girl-like paralyzed brother to Star-Moon Bay, this girl who wanted to eat herself in Breeze City forgot about the dark past of the Gilman family and started a new life.
She has been following Annan firmly, and she is still invisible to everyone after arriving in Liberty City. Francois, who defected to Annan around the same time as her, was already a diplomat in Liberty City, but she was still quietly working as a "street officer" in the city.
No one here remembers the dark history of the Gilman family, and even if they did, they would not connect Lorna and her "brother", a poor paralyzed girl, with the terrifying cannibal family in Breeze City.
It is said that someone else wants to find a husband for her brother.
"If she is willing."
While still feeling emotional, Annan saw Francois leading a team of elves wearing cool and exquisite underwear woven from vines and green leaves.
“This is the first wave of elven missions sent by the Elf King’s Court?”
“The fifth time.” said Ingrid from behind. Annan was silent for a moment: "How many more times do they want to visit?"
"Lady Itilia estimates that the earliest possible finalization of the alliance will be in the year 1003 of the Saint Laurent Calendar."
"Did you know that this year is just 1001..."
"The lifespan of elves For thousands of years, three years is like two months to them... It takes two months to confirm the alliance."
Thinking of it this way, the Elf King Court is doing it almost once a week. Frequent visits to Liberty City are considered to be taken very seriously.
“The elf mentor has gone back?”
"Ms. Irelanze is now the ambassador in charge of the covenant. She can't stay in Free City forever."
We haven't seen each other for a long time. Annan still looks like he misses the arms of the elf mentor...
Francois led the elf envoy into the elf embassy not far from the city lord's palace. During the process, an elf raised his head and looked at Annan on the terrace.
Speaking of which, the elves still don’t know that there is a “World Tree” planted in the garden behind the city lord’s mansion. They don’t know how they will react if the elves know that there is a world tree. Accepting that there is a third world tree in Allen Continent Two World Trees, still don’t accept it?
"Go and fetch Lorna Gilman for me."
Annan said, leaving the terrace and coming to the garden.
The tree in the different world grows almost at a rate of several centimeters per day. Although the strange fertilizer plays a role, Da De's care also plays an important role.
With Annan's arrival, the tree from another world that was taller than him gently swayed its branches, exuding joy and excitement.
Annan thought it was an illusion. How could a tree show such an anthropomorphic thing as emotions?
But if it is the World Tree, it seems reasonable to exude emotions.
Annan didn't see Da De. She should be tending the wheat fields in the north at this time.
Annan stroked the trunk of the World Tree. Soon, it would be able to show the wonders of the World Tree.
Not long after, the maid Abby came to say that Lorna Gilman was here.
Annan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and Lorna Gilman was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the second floor, holding the hot tea prepared by Abby.
Annan was about to say, "Are you used to staying here?", then he remembered that Lorna should have been in Liberty City longer than him...
"I want to give you a task."
"Ingrid told me." Lorna Gilman raised her head.
"What do you think?"
"Can I take my brother with me?"
Annan sat opposite Lorna Gilman. Perhaps due to the gap in status, Lorna Gilman seemed quiet and reserved, but Annan was still as gentle as before: "Of course. You don't have to worry too much, I have friends in the Montreal Mountains, he... they will help you, maybe... You too can become a champion.”
"I...?"
"The wealth in the mountains of Montreal is amazing. As long as you steal...I mean, earn a trivial amount, you can also become a champion."
"But this is different from What does the championship have to do with it?”
“Liberty City Sales Champion!”
The person responsible for the Montreal Mountain business was determined, and before Annan had time to send Lorna Gilman away, she felt silent in her arms for a long time. The parchment suddenly became hot.
Belludonna was calling him.
