Chapter 849 80. The floating city is just a lie
In the eyes of the Middle-earth people, the Free City is very special.
This city-state possesses wealth that even a small country cannot match, and its prestige is not even as good as many ancient kingdoms.
Whether it was ridicule or admiration, they had to admit one thing: all of this was thanks to the warlock city lord.
So all the major forces like to keep an eye on Annan's every move, such as what he did yesterday, what he will do today, and what he plans to do tomorrow. And because Liberty City has never developed its own intelligence organization, they are aware of Annan's every move.
They even visited Succubus Massage Shop a few times and what they said to the boss, Annan may not remember, but they remember it clearly.
So Annan was still giving a speech in the morning, and all the forces in China and Turkey knew about it at noon. In the afternoon, even the pub was talking about it.
The Duchy of Keating.
As a "city of trade", the Principality of Keating has always been eyeing Liberty City, a "city of trade".
Their relationship has good instincts. Annan is a nostalgic person, and everyone who was with him at the time received preferential treatment. Finance Minister Flanning had already known him in Breeze City and bought dozens of Taiwan Susan spinning machine.
If it hadn't been for the arrogant visiting missions that followed... In short, the current relationship between the Keating Principality and Liberty City would be "half good, half bad." Because Annan missed his old relationship and had an affair with the Elf Royal Court, he had a good relationship with the half-elf Finance Minister Franning, but he hated the original envoys very much.
It is in line with the Keating Principality's positioning of itself as "neutral": half of us agree and half of us oppose it, so how can we not be neutral?
At this time, the city of trade, Peterson Castle. Kya Peterson, who had been on an envoy to Free City, was sitting in his luxurious carved sofa, playing with the ancient vessels dug out from the seabed by the Sea Tribe, and listening to the butler's report.
“You mean Liberty City is going to launch a general attack on the Skaven?” Kya Peterson mocked.
“For what? Is it to give everyone a magic gun?”
"No...have you forgotten, Liberty City is a floating city..."
Kiya Peterson paused: "What is floating?"
"Floating city."< br>
“I know, isn’t it that the Floating City is just a rumor!”
“Master, Liberty City earns hundreds of thousands of gold coins a month, and they don’t spend much money, so this money can still go to Where? According to Wilhelm’s gossip, Liberty City is not only a floating city, it is also powered by a medium-sized arcane energy core!”
Kea Peterson, who was waiting to see a joke in Liberty City, lost his temper and roared: "Is he sick!? Let his city become a floating city but never float!?"
"Uh... Master, they are going to float now."
......
Bronzebeard was forced to become even busier.
The floating city is just a floating city. They can't float above the enemy and smash them to death. If you want to turn Liberty City into a war fortress, various weapons including orichalcum artillery are essential.
The good news is, Bronzebeard isn't the only one busy.
Annan transferred Michael and Major Dumbledore from the Mushroom House to the blacksmith shop, trying to place a circle of orichalcum cannons on the edge of Liberty City when they arrived at the Gray Mountains.
Yili always took people from the building department around to check the stability of the house to avoid knocking the building down when it was raised.
Olmedo and Itilia confirmed the floating boundary: Liberty City covers an area of about 1,250 meters, basically including the main urban area. Ports, farmland and some factories are excluded.
Itilia signed an order to build a warehouse next to the port to store supplies during the absence of Liberty City.
Olmedo gave Annan an invitation list. Skeleton King Leonefah, Dean Blehim, the Stewart family, and Lady Winter who followed Princess Sales to the Montreal Mountains were all on the list. . It was an invitation list in name, but in fact it was hoped that they would follow Liberty City to the north.
Ingrid took these to evacuate the crowd. As a result, not only the residents did not want to leave, but also the tourists - the experience of staying on a rising floating city was enough They brag for a lifetime.
The residents are even happier, they are going to change from "ordinary Free City residents" to "noble Floating City residents"!
Even Aunt Susan has become the spiritual leader of the women in Liberty City, leading the women to busy collecting potted plants on the windowsill and clothes on the clothesline.
After Henry and a group of necromancers finished the autumn harvest, they took the skeleton rat people to cut wood in the forest mountains. The elves no longer care about them. After all, they will plant as much as they cut, and there are druids following them.
Annan is the most leisurely person. While recovering his magic power, he even had time to read the battle reports from the north and the news from other commercial streets.
There was a lot of expectation outside, and the empire gave praise, but there were also some strange voices. For example, Kea Peterson from the Keating Principality said that a floating city could not change anything.
"Does he hate me very much?" Annan asked puzzledly, thinking that they should hate him.
Francois, who was picked up by Annan from Sturrett, said: "Businessmen value face more than anything else, especially for a businessman."
It seems that when dealing with them in the future, we have to take their face into consideration...
In addition to Francois, there are dozens of vampire nobles. It is said that the Crimson Princess also wanted to come, but was stopped by the Queen.
Mrs. Winter actually came in person with her guards. In addition to the two epic mages, there is also an entire legion of mages and archers.
The Skeleton King can only do it by himself. His undead army is not suitable for appearing in densely populated areas, but having a legend sitting there is more useful than any support.
Annan led the Skeleton King to see the tree of another world. He stood in front of the sapling that was taller than the Skeleton King and discussed whether the floating city could successfully reach the Huiyue Mountains.
What he is most worried about is that the rat people's forbidden magic field will affect the floating city... The Skeleton King told him not to worry. As one of the most outstanding works of the ancient arcanists, the floating city will fall if it is banned from magic, and it is not worthy. Become the pinnacle.
Even if there is no magic power supply, a small arcane energy core can keep the floating city floating in the sky for several years, and a medium-sized arcane energy core will only last longer.
"There is another question, the floating city's moving speed..."
"It's the same as migrating birds."
Annan frowned, Fermi and the others were waiting. It won’t be that long: “Can we jump over there? Just... use magic to teleport there.”
"Annan, you know, magic is not a wishing fountain."
Annan tried to ask for help from the businessmen in Wilhelm, but they said that there was a way for Liberty City to reach the Gray Mountains within two days—— But it costs more.
“How much?”
“Only fifteen million gold coins.”
“Silver coins?”
"Fifteen million gold."
"Fifteen hundred gold?"
"Fifteen million gold."
