Chapter 1080 2. In progress
The Liberty City that fell back to Gem Bay has filled the hole left by the initial liftoff, but it won't take long before a larger pit will appear.
In addition to wealth such as population and trade, which take time to accumulate, the money collected from the new royal capital is enough for them to purchase another medium-sized arcane energy core.
“So we can double the area of Liberty City? Now it is 1250 meters, doubling it... it will be 2500 meters!”
No one will ever say that Liberty City is just A floating castle!
Annan, who was already imagining how to use the extra area, found Olmedo looking at him.
“What’s wrong?”
Olmedo sighed and closed the note: “My honorary principal, what is the range of a small arcane energy core?”
< br>"Five hundred meters."
"Those five small arcane energy cores must be 2,500 meters, right?"
"Uh... ok." Annan felt that his scalp was a little itchy, as if he was about to grow Martin, "How many meters is that?"
"Probably..." Master Olmei simply did the mental calculation, "1750 Meters."
"The diameter is only 500 meters more?"
"That's a lot. The third arcane energy core is even less."
Five hundred. meters, the price is 2.5 million gold coins, which is equivalent to 10,000 gold coins and only adds two meters to the perimeter of Liberty City... It doesn't seem very expensive if you think about it.
Olmedo looked out the window and saw countless ships drifting in the bay in the distance. Deep in the white clouds, Wilhelm's floating city looms: "With two arcane energy cores, Liberty City can turn from a small village into a small town..."
"If there is a third party Where is Mei?”
“It’s still a small town.”
Annan looked at where Olmedo was looking. Countless miles away, the floating city was still clearly visible. The Free City at this moment. Maybe it's only as big as a street.
Olmedo withdrew his gaze and pushed a stack of documents that could completely block Annan in front of him: "This is a matter left between us and the Kingdom of Ruikanl——"
"I think I haven't fed Lily yet..."
Annan walked out very naturally.
Bang!
When I walked to the door, the door suddenly closed without any wind.
“What’s going on!?” Annan expressed panic
Being locked up in an office full of official documents... This kind of thing is so terrifying that it's indescribable!
Behind Annan, a cold voice sounded: "I asked Dumbledore to help install the Annan trap."
"Annan what?"
"You The door will open when you pass by, and you can't help but be curious and the door will close after you come in."
Annan loudly accused: "It's because they always make these useless things that Mushroom House is so slow to improve gunpowder. ! ”
Olmedo stood up, walked to Annan, held down his shoulders, and pushed him towards the desk: "Let's do some business, Master Annan."
She pressed Annan in and brought him with her In Yu Wen's seat, Annan still wanted to struggle: "Where is Idilia? She comes just in time for these internal affairs..."
"Your eldest sister has to deal with government affairs for more than twelve hours a day. She has already I haven’t slept in three days.”
Itilia was Annan’s Achilles’ heel. He had no excuses and sat there honestly, picking up the top layer of the endless files and flipping through them.
[Multiple unique research recommendations and related reports on improving administrative efficiency and optimizing department duties in Liberty City]
"Olmedo, Olmedo! Why can't I understand the words all of a sudden! This is not lingua franca, or even any words I know!" Annan shouted.
Olmedo's gaze jumped over Annan's shoulder and glanced at the title: "What do you want to say?"
"A free soul should not be restrained."
"You want freedom? Okay, give me Liberty City and give you freedom."
"Really?" Annan said in surprise. Realizing that Annan really wanted to agree, Olmedo raised his forehead and said: "It's fake...forget it, you try this."
She pulled out dozens of pages of documents and placed them in front of Annan.
Annan turned to the first page. There were still a lot of words, but at least they were connected together and he could understand them.
The first article is saying that the refugees from the Kingdom of Rekaner have filled the Free City, and there is no room for it anymore.
“I remember there were many empty mansions?”
"We have brought back hundreds of thousands of people. No matter how many houses we have, it will not be enough."
"What do you think?"
"My previous idea was to limit the number of citizens. Only outstanding people can become Citizens of Liberty City, but you don't like it that much."
"Well. Some people are citizens, and some are not, and as more and more policies are only enjoyed by citizens, citizenship will become another kind. Privileges. Everyone is building the Free City, so why do some people get more without doing anything? "
"Then it's a meritocracy. Wilhelm's ancient floating city used this system. ”
"What is meritocracy?"
"That is, everyone is a citizen, but only the outstanding, gifted, talented, and contributing people can live in Liberty City. There are no privileges, it all depends on ability, It can also maximize the selection of talents."
"Let's do this before thinking of a better way."
There was no sweat on his forehead, and Annan turned to the second page: The issue of placement of the kingdom’s nobles.
Annan raised his head, and Olmedo, knowing that he was going to make excuses again, answered quickly: "Has anyone ever said that you look very charming when handling official business?"
"I'm very charming even when I'm not dealing with official business."
Olmedo opened his mouth slightly, unable to refute.
Annan, who left her speechless, continued: "I think it is too slow to process each item like this."
"Oh?"
"One branch is easy to break, but ten branches can be broken continuously. Why don't we bring together all the officials in the city to discuss together, improve efficiency and cultivate their abilities at the same time."
Olmedo pondered: "That's a good suggestion... I'll talk to them sometime."
Annan stood up suddenly and almost hit Olmedo's chin: "No need to find time, I Let people arrest them now... No, please come and suffer... No, please bring them for training!"
...
In the evening, Annan came to the parliament hall with Lily in his arms.
Footsteps and voices sounded, and other people arrived one after another.
In addition to the old men in Free City, Bronzebeard, Losey, and Dumbledore, there are also newcomers such as Little Small, Barr, and Renaldo who have suddenly emerged in this war.
Seeing Annan, Evelin exclaimed: "What a big news...how did you make Annan sit there honestly?"
Al pushed Idilia's wheelchair Meadow smiled: "I just told him that his eldest sister was pressed by official duties and had not rested for several days."
A blush rose on Idilia's pale cheeks: "You don't need to talk to him Talking about this..."
"He still wants to run around after such a big thing, and he will only go further in the future."
Idilia smiled softly and said: "You are more like this sister than me."
On the other side, Annan, who saw everyone had arrived, put Lily aside and patted the girl who could put her arms on it. A stack of documents.
"You should all know what we are going to do tonight. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare midnight snacks, so you won't go hungry."
"Okay!" Eve Lin raised her hands and cheered.
Annan was very satisfied with everyone's morale: "Now let's discuss the first issue: the placement of the kingdom's nobles."
