Chapter 1131 53. Selling alcohol to the dwarves
“Why do you have to wait until the celebration is over? Can’t you give it to me now?”
“I’m afraid not...”
“First Reveal something?" Annan was very persistent.
“I would say that is a ‘thing’ that you value.”
Treasures, purchase orders... Annan was already looking forward to it.
This is how the first day of the celebration ended.
The elves did not catch the murderer, because the next day, a large group of elves stationed in the wooden house community, staring at everyone.
This is a stupid way, and it is also the simplest way.
The only ones who create turmoil are people from outside. Keep an eye on everyone and they will be discovered if they try anything else.
As for whether it will offend the various forces behind the messenger... the elves have always been like this. Even if the Supreme King comes in person, they will not receive any preferential treatment.
Since it can’t be changed, Annan didn’t say anything anymore, and still had a sense of superiority - behind you are either the Ratman High Priest, the Dwarf King, the High King, the Ancient Dragon... But you don’t have to stay here obediently. And you can go wherever you want.
"Annan Reeves, please return to your residence."
Then Annan was blocked at the intersection by the elf guard.
If you are not allowed to go out, you will not go out. There are things to do in Annan, the Messenger Village.
...
“Are you still worried about the long order period? Are you still worried about spending money but not being a boss? Say goodbye to bad sellers, no need to wait! Knight Golems that are as powerful as elites are on sale Winning! No need for 3000 gold, nor 2000 gold, only 998 gold! Order now, the original price of 998 gold is only 500 gold!”
“You can’t buy it! Don’t be fooled. For only 500 gold, a magical statue with both protection and power will come to your world immediately!”
“This is not just a monster, it is your companion on your adventure! A solid backing, a loyal defender to protect your homeland. Whether it is a deep dungeon adventure or a vast magical forest, the Knight Golem will help you resolve crises and harvest treasures with its extraordinary power!”

"Remember, products produced in Liberty City must be high-quality products!"
As soon as day broke, envoys from all over the Allen continent heard passionate shouts ringing outside the wooden house, followed by the ground tremor.
The scene that the human messengers experienced a few days ago reappeared, this time with the addition of a sound offensive.
The first day of the celebration has passed, and with Annan greeting everyone everywhere, the messenger, even though he has little information, knows who Annan is.
As for the evaluation... People from Middle-earth who know Free City, such as the Empire, Skeleton King, and Prince Aidan, know the potential of Free City. Those who don't know better think Annan is a puppet of the Elven Court.
Young, immature, likes to stand out, not familiar with the world... No matter how you look at it, he looks like a puppet with no real power.
Annan wanted to refute, but as they took out real money to buy things, they began to make money in silence.
Even so, the sales volume was less than 7,000 gold naars in a whole day.
The richer you are, the stingier you are. As for looking down on it... well, that's a possibility.
The dwarves felt that the golem's watered metal was too rough and not as good as hammered steel. The Rat King said that there are endless ratmen in Thrane. If you build a golem, I can give birth to ten thousand ratmen. The orcs say the golems are blaspheming their faith.
As for the elves... they bought one.
It's not that they also admired the golem and bought one... It's just that Annan took the golem to the elf guards stationed there, saying that they were slender and needed the protection of the golem. Their captain immediately nocked an arrow from his bow, and a strong wind blew against Annan's head. He turned around and saw that the golem's chest, which was five centimeters thick, was pierced by an arrow... Then he cried and shouted, forcing the elf guard to take out 500. Pay him gold coins as compensation...
After Annan accepted the money, the elf guard had to say thank you to him - because Annan only wanted 50 gold coins.
He said that the surface of the golem was only pierced, and the internal magic runes were not damaged. It was just a new set of pouring. Their captain immediately bought one after learning about it, which was a testament to their friendship.
Also witnessing friendship was Harvey Stoneskull, the dwarf who drank Annan's bottle of alcohol at the party.
Michael urgently made another barrel of distilled wine, so that Harvey Stoneskull drooled when Annan came.
Lifting the lid of the bucket, Harvey Stoneskull buried his head in and took a deep breath.
"Why is it not as fragrant as the day before yesterday?" He muttered, taking out a stone cup from somewhere, filling a full cup and pouring it into his mouth.
Harvey Stoneskull complained that it didn’t taste like that day, and poured another glass.
Annan watched him complain as he drank almost one-fifth of a barrel of distilled liquor. His skin color turned brown again, and he sat down with the barrel in his arms.
Normal people would go crazy drinking after becoming like this, but the dwarf seemed to be gifted, so he soberly asked Annan to get another barrel.
Annan thought he was going to bargain, but Harvey Stoneskull said he would take the barrel of wine back to the Dwarf King.
"Human boy, with this brewing technology, you will make a fortune."
Annan was noncommittal.
How come he doesn’t know how profitable wine is, but wine requires a lot of grain during the brewing process. The higher the purity, the more food is consumed. Without a sufficient agricultural foundation, it cannot support a large-scale winery. Liberty City has just added hundreds of thousands of people, and it is an astronomical amount to feed its citizens every day.
Even if they are forced to move out, the business will only be robbed by businessmen, just like the situation of Susan Spinning Machine.
And as a large amount of grain is used for brewing, more poor people will be unable to eat.
Annan originally asked Michael to get the bottle of alcohol to see if it could be used for medical treatment or as a substitute for fuel. When the dwarves remembered that they were drunk, he gave it a try.
"It still needs improvement. In a few years, it should be able to be brewed in large quantities." Annan said after thinking about it.
By the time Gem Bay opens up a large area of farmland, there should be plenty of food.
"In a few years? You are simply murdering the dwarves!" Harvey Stoneskull complained loudly, saying that Annan did not know the suffering of the dwarves - he had tasted such a delicious wine, how could he endure those bland wines again? Wine like water! ?
"Let's do this, Liberty City will provide special alcohol to you dwarves."
Dwarves are full of treasures, not like dragons, but they can forge, temper, and mine. , the strength is not much compared to the orcs, he is simply a natural worker and craftsman.
If Annan was asked to choose between ten dwarf craftsmen and ten elf rangers... Annan would still choose ten elf rangers.
The reason is that there are already dozens of dwarves in Liberty City, and there is not a single elf. It is definitely not Annan who covets the beauty of elves.
