Chapter 1102 24. Selling Combs
The magical image can make Annan a celebrity known to everyone and make a lot of money, but can it protect him and his friends from enemies?
The children on the street cannot hold the gems in their hands. Even if it is not snatched away, it will be lost for various reasons.
So Annan would seemingly stupidly spend all the money he earned on the Free City, extravagantly building an immortal floating city with arcane energy cores and orichalcum.
Whether it is persecutory paranoia or lack of security, Annan remembers one sentence: Don’t leave your life to others to make decisions——
Olmedo stood on the same side as Annan at this point. After her Breeze City was destroyed, the words "it has nothing to do with you" were deeply ingrained in her mind.
There are only two kinds of people in Allen Continent, either sitting at the table or being served to the table.
Finally, Annan needs to finish the business of the Guardian Golem before he can take over as the shopkeeper.
The buyer he chose was Vitalig.
Free City now has two portals: the logistics warehouse in the west of the city and the square in front of the city lord's palace.
They change every hour and lead to various commercial streets. When he learned that Annan was looking for him, Vitalig wanted to come to Liberty City in person.
Annan heard what the kingdom messenger said, and quickly asked him to lead a heavy horse over, and be sure not to run over.
After the kingdom messenger left, he complained: "How can there be a king who doesn't stay in the palace and run around all day..."
"Yes, how can there be such a leader?" Olmedo read it again and stared at Annan.
“I’ll ask Master Dumbledore to get the two golems!!”
Annan got up and walked outside the lounge while Idilia covered her mouth and chuckled, asking the servant to take a photo.
Ten minutes later, the guardian golem and the knight golem moved over together.
Annan opened the portal, and Vitalig, who was dressed formally and held the king's scepter, stood opposite the portal, with the grand palace in the background.
"How's it going?"
Annan used to not understand why the nobles talked a lot of useless nonsense before talking, but now he understands some of the reasons - chatting to warm up. field, so that the next words are not abrupt.
Vitalig sighed: "There are good things and bad things... I told the nobles not to forget their promise that the people would break the shackles. As a result, they continued to create shackles for the people. Being a king is not that simple."
"Where is the north?"
"The trip you went there made them a lot more honest. I am going to recruit soldiers and replace them from the front line bit by bit."
"Good idea."
Annan comforted him not to be too anxious: "That's right, the kingdom was so harmed by Crowe, I thought it would take 40,000 years to recover as before."
"How much decay does it take to take 40,000 years?"
Vitalig smiled, his eyes falling on the two demon statues behind Annan.
"I think... you have something serious to talk to me about, right?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it to you." Annan just remembered, which made him want to Disregard your own hypocrisy. But making money is not shabby.
"The newly developed Guardian Type 1 Golem by Mushroom House has a strength ranging from professionals to elites. It can continue to patrol for more than an hour, and it can last longer with the recharge of the mage tower. I think you must use it. Get on.”
"Indeed." He looked at the guardian golem and paused on its face for a moment.
Using female images to represent golems that demonstrate strength and power?
Vitalig didn't understand, but Annan must have a deep meaning in doing this... Then he suddenly thought that the golem was used to warn the nobles, but the common people didn't know that such an image would just make the common people feel at ease.
As expected of Annan...
"I want 300 first... no, 500."
It seems that Vitalig really trusts Annan, or he was so worried by the troubled nobles that he didn't even ask the price.
Annan's black eyes instantly shone like a black gem by the fireplace: "The manufacturing cost of the Guardian Golem Type 1 is about 80 gold coins, and the public price is 250 gold coins. I can buy it for 100 gold coins. The price will sell you. But I suggest you buy two hundred to three hundred guardian golems."
As he spoke, Annan pointed to the knight golem aside: "After all, the guardian is just a security golem. It's enough to clean up the nobles and maintain law and order, but the kingdom still faces threats from the north... The Knight Golem is the real ratman killer, but we are still solving the problem of duration."
"I also want 500. Taiwan, but I have a request. How about you give it to me first?”
"Put it on me!"
Annan finally realized how the Wilhelm businessman felt when he faced him.
Even if he didn’t specifically earn money from Vitalig, the eight hundred golems still earned Annan almost ten thousand kinnars, which was equivalent to a year’s tax revenue from many prosperous city-states.
New inventions are really useful, provided they can be sold as "combs".
“Thank you.”
Annan made money and profit, and Vitalig still wanted to thank him.
"No, you stick to the north and prevent the rat people from going south. I just sold you some things."
"That's why I want to say thank you." Vita Lige said sincerely: "You did not take advantage of the situation, but extended a helping hand in the name of a win-win situation. Do you know? I have seen too many nobles' hypocrisy these days. They can tear up their previous promises without changing their expressions..."
Annan could only comfort Vitalig.
Vitalig asked about the young students sent again. Annan looked at Olmedo and she said that Ingrid led them to do grassroots work in the city lord's palace.
They are like fire, bringing new life to a kingdom that is about to burn out.
The portal closed, Annan sat back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief - very good, the trade went much smoother than expected.
“Do you really want to sell it for 100 gold coins?” Olmedo asked.
"Helping him is helping us, and we don't suffer any loss, and we still make some profit."
Eighty gold coins is the cost that Dumbledore underreported. As the golems began to be produced on a large scale, Crystal and casting molds form an industrial chain, and costs can be further reduced. 75, or even 70 gold coins.
Annan continued: "After all, the Kingdom of Ruikan'er is an old kingdom, and our stay was too short. The shackles on the feet of the people in the kingdom are gone, but the shackles are still on their hearts. Many traditions are deeply rooted... I am worried that the internal inertia will sweep away Vitalig had to follow them..."
After a land is changed to a country, the previous policies and thinking will still be continued. The nobles have changed. In the past it was Mr. Mike, and today it is Mr. Jack. Still nothing has changed.
Vitalig is an idealist like Annan. He can still be determined and full of hope now, but when everyone and everything around him rushes to the same place, how long can he persist in the wave? Can he stick to his heart and ideals?
This is what Annan least wants to see. Because that means everything he has done is in vain.
Time is the best friend of civilization, and time is also the mortal enemy of civilization.
