Alien world

Chapter 1360 282. Temple Fragments
Annan, who was deep in thought, carefully avoided the clothes and piles of ashes, and his eyes gradually fell on the runes engraved on the copper fragments.

They looked exactly the same as the runes on the golden door he had summoned earlier, and seemed to be the same kind of writing.

"Aga, do you know him?"

Aga still retains a little memory of Agarwal.

"These are the words of the gods," it replied.

"What does that mean in translation?"

"do not know."

Well, it looks like I have to ask the bishop of the Fortune Church to translate... Oh, I almost forgot, all the people in the Fortune Church are dead.

It is not accurate to say that everyone died, because some priests and nuns who went to other lords' territories to preach survived.

I don’t know whether they should cry or laugh after knowing what happened in the Golden City - all the brothers and sisters were killed by the Great Lord, but the "Holy Son" was found.

Annan thought that they could cut up the orichalcum fragments and move them to the Free City.

He couldn't do it, but Merchant Wilhelm had the ability to do it.

Having his guard and servant Aga collect the clothes and ashes for the time being, Annan summoned the merchant Wilhelm.

"...Five hundred gold coins? How about this, I'll give you five hundred gold coins, and you'll disappear from my sight forever!"

Along with the merchant's appearance on the magic circle came his shouting and cursing.

"Are you arguing?"

"There's a country bumpkin outside who's trying to take advantage of me. How can the good stuff I have compare to the garbage from your country place? Sorry, I'm not talking about you."

"fine."

Without Annan's introduction, merchant Wilhelm's eyes were focused on the orichalcum fragments.

"How could you find such a good thing?!" he exclaimed, quickly suppressing the anger on his face.

"I want to cut it up and send it to Liberty City as building materials. Name your price."

"You actually want to give the temple fragment to... Well, I have a good idea. How about giving it to me? I will directly give you a finished product of the same weight, free of processing fees!"

"Oh? It seems the fragments have other uses."

Wilhelm merchants never suffer losses, and Annan immediately realized that this was a good thing.

The businessman looked regretful, he had accidentally exposed his intentions, it was all that country bumpkin's fault... and Annan Reeves was becoming increasingly difficult to fool!
"It's not impossible to give it to you... give me two... three times as much mountain copper as this fragment." Annan Lion opened his mouth.

"Impossible, the maximum increase is... 50%."

Merchant Wilhelm gave a number that he could accept and they negotiated back and forth.

"This is not an ordinary copper fragment. This is a copper fragment for building a temple. It is a copper fragment that is very useful."

"You also said it was a fragment. No one knows if it is still useful. I am also taking a gamble."

"Spending millions of Kinnars to gamble?" Annan asked in a playful tone.

Unexpectedly, Merchant Wilhelm was very calm: "A few million is nothing to me, but I am interested in betting on what else a rare temple fragment may have left."

"Fifty percent is too little."

It's similar in Annan. A few million Kinnars is the profit of commercial streets in various places in one or two years. It can be earned back by shooting two more magic images.

Even if it is confirmed that this piece of temple fragment is useless, find an empty space to put it and put up a sign next to it saying that you can make a lot of money from the fallen temple fragments.

“Then I won’t sell it.”

"Whatever you want, do you still want to cut it?"

"No." Annan shook his head. The Wilhelm merchant, who didn't care about the millions of gold nars before, now cared about the processing fee: "Are you sure? This is not your floating city, how can you move it back?"

"Just move it like that."

"Do you know how heavy it is? Unless you can find hundreds of dragons, you can't move the temple fragments even half a yard."

Isn't this a coincidence? There are more than a hundred blue dragons flying around outside.

"This is my own business." Annan said mysteriously.

Merchant Wilhelm didn't care and shrugged: "Come back to me if you change your mind."

Annan Reeves is a long-term partner, and he is not going to get upset over such a thing.

A magic circle appeared under the feet of merchant Wilhelm, and after a few seconds it took him away from the spot.

Annan put away his deliberate casualness and said, "Aga, did you see it clearly?"

"Higher-level plane teleportation that ignores distance is truly terrifying..." Aga's tone was fluctuating.

Annan, who was thinking about Wilhelm's merchant background, was instantly distracted from his thoughts and looked at Aga in disbelief.

"You...recovered your memory?"

"This is Agarwal's evaluation of the higher plane transmission in his memory."

Aga's tone returned to its cold tone, but Annan was skeptical. He felt a chill on his back when he thought of Aga's memory recovery.

If we were to ask who hated him the most, Agarwal would definitely be ranked ahead of Lord Raymond...

If Aga attacked suddenly, Annan would not have time to react.

Thinking of this, Annan cast a warning spell and left the orichalcum fragments here. Anyway, the merchant said that no one could move it out unless it was cut into pieces.

Annan couldn't wait to return to the ground and immediately went to the old patriarch to help check Aga.

The control spell engraved deep in Aga's soul is very solid, and there is no possibility of it breaking free. As for Agarwal's emotional dialogue...

“The old body will rekindle a new soul, perhaps it is nurturing a new self.”

Aga's consciousness may not be a good thing, but it is definitely not a bad thing - Annan guessed it because the old patriarch did not warn him.

After finishing this matter, I will go to the Skeleton King to help train Aga
After the interlude, Annan’s eyes fell on the Golden City that he had already taken over.

From the Golden Palace to the inner and outer cities, it took Olmedo less than half an hour to completely control the area.

After all, the blue dragons in the sky were as dense as a flock of crows, Annan Reeves was suspected to be the son of the church, and the cruel Lord Raymond even sacrificed all the people in the church.

This meant that the Liberty City soldiers encountered no resistance when taking over, and even the soldiers loyal to Lord Raymond surrendered voluntarily, confessing that they were the Lord's accomplices.

The lords were also forced to surrender, but any slowness in surrendering would be considered disloyal to the lady.

The only tough guy was Lord Greg, who refused to surrender and stood firmly with Raymond.

Olmedo showed respect by sending him to the dungeon as well.

The remaining lords were immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster - after all, the Great Lord was gone, and the new "Great Lord" needed their help to rule the Broken Mountains.

As long as they paid more taxes and gave more gifts, their rule would remain impregnable.

The lords did not know the style of Liberty City - after the liquidation began, the best outcome was to retain part of the wealth and become a wealthy man.

Their opinions? That doesn't matter. If you are not respectable, Liberty City will help you be respectable.

Annan handed these to Olmedo, and he went to do more important things: sign a triangular alliance between Free City, Blue Dragon and Skaven.
