Chapter 1081 3. Issue
The nobles who defected to the Blade of Freedom at the last moment are in an awkward situation.
The new king doesn't want them, and since they betrayed their old master, they have nowhere to go but Free City.
Never block your own escape route - this is their portrayal at the moment.
They soon discovered that there was no place of their own in Liberty City: not to mention castles and manors, even single-family houses cost money to buy and they had to queue up. Status also does not exist, no one will give way to you, call you noble lord, and offer your daughter wherever you go.
To make matters worse, the servants who came with them didn't know where they had read the heresies, and came to say that Liberty City did not support slave contracts and wanted to start a new life outside.
At that time, a bad-tempered nobleman beat the servant who said this to half to death. Not long after, the guards beat him to half to death and threw him into prison.
The already agitated servants could no longer hold back. People ran away every day. The nobles went to the guards. The guards took the "Free City Code" and stated that slaves were indeed not allowed in the Free City.
They had no choice but to complain to the City Lord’s Mansion.
“We really can’t leave the nobles there, as resentment accumulates and they are prone to make radical moves.” Annan said.
"They still dare to be radical?"
Jack, who was leaning on his seat with his arms folded, snorted coldly: "Femi, what do you think?"
"Kill, there are still people who are preparing the agenda. Officials, kill them together."
Loxi, who was sitting next to him like he was holding a sheathed sword, coughed lightly: "Don't say that, they also helped a lot..."
Fermi was indifferent: "The intercessors will also be killed together."
"You're too radical." Losey frowned.
Jack smoothed things over: "Then take him to prison and reform."
"This is good."
Jack was about to continue saying something when he shut up under Annan's death gaze. On the lips.
Thanks to the three legion commanders, there were signs of chaos in the first item.
"I promised them to forgive them, so I can't do it."
Annan glanced at everyone in front of the oval table and asked Renaldo, who remained silent to avoid suspicion: "Reynardo, do you have any ideas?"
Reynardo stood up and put his hand on his chest: "Master Annan, I think there is nothing to do. They will adapt to Liberty City on their own. As for making trouble... they dare not."
They betrayed the kingdom and betrayed Liberty City again. Who would accept them?
“What if they want power?”
"It doesn't matter. We recognize their old titles, but they are useless in Liberty City."
What Renaldo meant was that they were allowed to do business, form groups, or do things that did not violate the rules of Liberty City.
“Time will bring them back to their rightful place.”
“Well said, I want to write this sentence down!” Evelin picked up the pen.
“Wouldn’t that give them an advantage?” Jack asked again.
"Captain Jack, this is not about who is taking advantage of the other, they did stand on our side in the war." At this time, Little Small stood up and said something fair: "It depends on what Lord Annan thinks."
As an official who came out of the civilian population, Little Small is the most qualified to say this.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Annan.
Annan thought for a while: "Nobility is not some people or some groups, but a parasite that will be born with civilization. As long as we are still human beings and have desires, it will be born. Even if we Kill all the bugs, and they will still find new agents and new nobles. "
"Sooner or later, parasites will appear in the Free City. This is an inevitable stage of development... so we don't have to be taboo. , you just need to formulate rules to eliminate them before they appear, or use or restrain them... Big sister, Olmedo, I have to thank you again.”
Itilia agreed gently, and while Olmedo was deep in thought, Annan clapped his hands: "Okay, let's discuss the second issue..."
叩叩叩——
The door of the meeting hall knocked, and the maid Abby poked her head out from behind the door and asked cautiously: "The food is ready...Am I early?"
"No, you came just in time." Abby and the cook, wearing an apron and lowering her head, walked in, pushing a dining cart.
"Choose the one you like." Annan's attention was on Lily.
Lily's big eyes looked around the dining car, and her furry cat paws pointed at Annan.
“This meow.”
Annan rubbed Lily’s belly and opened the notebook.
"The second... and third issues, these two can be put together. Some people think that the current Liberty City is too crowded, so I have purchased a second arcane energy core. Liberty City needs What suggestions do you have for adding some new facilities, such as portals? ”
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was much more lively this time.
Bronzebeard sitting on the special booster chair said that the blacksmith shop should be expanded, Master Dumbledore said that the mushroom house should be expanded, and Mr. Victor said that the library should also be expanded.
Itilia wrote down these applications and prepared to arrange them after getting the second arcane energy core.
“The fourth issue... Because there are more and more people in Liberty City, Olmedo and I decided to implement a meritocracy. Excellent and contributing talents in Gem Bay will be eligible to live in Liberty City. As for The original residents remain unchanged.”
“It’s long overdue!”
The next fifth topic is the construction of Gem Bay.
"By the way, let me jump in. Making Gem Bay prosperous and attracting more residents requires a lot of trade, and sea transportation alone is not enough... I thought of a vehicle called a train that can run on rails ..."
Annan introduced the various advantages of the train, and by the way talked about the steam engine that drives it.
On the surface it is Bronzebeard’s job, but actually it requires research and development by Mushroom House.
Dumbledore has never heard of similar alchemy products. But to achieve the effect Annan said, it will take a lot of time and cost.
"It's okay if magic can be done at a very low cost."
Annan's attitude is very firm: "I just want the train. As for whether the train is steam-powered or magic-driven, I don't care."
< br>"According to what you said." Master Dumbledore bowed and said that after the knight golem was developed, he devoted his energy to developing the train.
"The sixth issue, people who died in the war..."
The discussion in the conference hall lasted from evening to late night, and then to before dawn.
The maid Abby had delivered food and drinks several times. When she was squatting outside the door, pressing her skirt and falling asleep, there was a sound from behind the door that woke her up.
"The last topic..." Annan stood up and said to everyone: "Who still remembers what Xingyue Bay was called before?"
"Glacier Bay." Losi answered quickly.
"Apple Pie Bay!" Another voice sounded at the same time.
Annan waved his hand and asked Losey to drive Martin out.
"I'm going to go back to Xingyue Bay."
Everyone in the meeting hall was looking forward to it, some were silent, and some were puzzled.
Annan clapped his hands.
The black mist that made the maid Abby stand up in panic emerged, condensed into a skeleton covered in a mage's robe, and walked into the meeting hall.
“Forgot to introduce it, it is Agar, and it was Agarwal in life.”
When everyone was stunned, Annan said: "Agarwal has a treasure hidden on the outskirts of Breeze City. This is the excuse I made..."
"But do you need an excuse to go home and see?"
