Alien world

Chapter 1531 Chapter 165. She is the King

Griffin brought so many surprises and raised expectations that the alchemist who came later seemed ordinary to Annan, as if it was just Young Master Dumbledore who was talking.

The only eye-catching thing is a farmer who improved the windmill structure - yes, not an alchemist, but a farmer.

He was an ordinary farmer on a knight's farm. Because the windmill always broke down and the wizard had no time to repair it, he had to tinker with it himself. In the beginning, he just oiled and cleaned the windmill, replaced parts, mended the tarpaulin, and then found a blacksmith to hammer out the outline of the blades. Over the past twenty years, the windmill has been replaced several times from the inside out. He has transformed from an ordinary farmer into an old farmer who can build windmills.

According to him, the improved windmill has increased the efficiency of the mill. The millet that used to take a week to grind can now be finished in six days, which means a 15% increase in efficiency.

The old farmer was very excited after making such a good thing, and asked someone to tell the lord in the castle. But he didn't get any reward or even praise. It happened that a passing caravan talked about the "Annan Dream Fund" and praised Annan Reeves to the sky. Countless ordinary people became rich because of it, so he also came to try his luck.

Annan asked Luoxi to take him to the Mage Tower to build a windmill model to try out whether it really had such a good effect.

In the evening, after a day of interviews, Annan returned to the garden.

"My dear, are you back?"

As soon as he stepped onto the garden path, the princess came to meet him, wearing a maid outfit, revealing a pair of pale and delicate slender legs.

Annan was shocked. If Cathy hadn't been there, he would have thought it was the elf mentor in disguise.

The girl in front of him seemed like fragile porcelain, pale, beautiful and fragile. After a brief shock and amazement, anger welled up in him.

For the first time, Annan severely rebuked Cathy, who was secretly delighted: "What have you done to the princess!"

Cathy, who was expecting Annan's praise, had her smile shattered. She had never seen Annan get angry with her before, so she said timidly, "I just thought you would like it..."

"I don't like it at all. The princess is not one of those toy dolls of yours that you can dress up as you please."

Cathy lowered her head and tugged at the corners of her clothes with both hands. Her grievances finally turned into a cry of "wow" and she ran out crying.

"Don't be mean to Cathy, it's my fault..."

"I'm teaching her what to do and what not to do, and it has nothing to do with you." Annan gently touched the princess's gray hair, "Take it off, this dress doesn't suit you."

The princess listened to Annan and lifted her skirt to take off her maid outfit.

"No, not here..."

Annan covered his eyes and grabbed the princess's hand to stop her.

The princess recovered well, but her mental state was only that of a six or seven-year-old, so Annan took her to find Dad.

Dad, who was squatting in a garden with tender sprouts, raised her head and looked at the princess and Annan with a bit of contempt in her eyes.

"It's not me..." Annan explained weakly.

"Can I take it off?" the princess asked, blinking her innocent eyes.

This made Annan's already poor reputation even worse.

……

"Wow ah ah ah..."

Cathy ran out of the City Lord's Mansion crying, ran onto the street, passed the Crystal Nest, ran past the Mage Tower, and ran towards the beach.

"Princess Cathy?"

Luoxi, who came out of the tower gate, looked at the distant crying sound in confusion, and ran back to the garden to tell Annan a good news.

Improved windmills do exist, and more than 15% of them can be turned even when the wind is weak.

"Okay, send someone to bring all his family here now."

That knight lord didn't know talent, but Annan did. Coincidentally, the terrain of Gem Bay was very suitable for windmills, and a large piece of wasteland was opened up this year.

Spending money is really fun... In the past, it would be hard to think of these inventions and improvements, and even if we did, we would have to rack our brains to come up with the principles. Now it's so good, we just have to spend money. And it's not even our own money.

"Okay, sir. By the way... I just saw Her Highness Cathy running away crying. It seemed like someone was bullying her..."

"No one bullies her." Annan said expressionlessly.

"Oh oh..."

Luo Xi knew who bullied him.

On the other side, Cathy ran crying past the orphanage, the Freeport, the Cape and the savings bank, cried around the Free City, rushed into the City Lord's Mansion, and threw herself into her eldest sister's arms with the crying sound that came from far away.

"Wow ah ah ah..."

"Okay, stop crying. Who bullied you?"

Idilia had to put down her work temporarily and patted the out-of-breath Cathy.

Cathy said nothing, just kept crying.

……

As night fell, Annan's family sat at the long table for dinner, just like usual.

But Cathy did not sit with the princess. Instead, she sat quietly next to her eldest sister, not saying a word and eating bread.

Annan put Cathy's favorite chicken leg into her bowl, but Cathy lowered her eyelids and ignored it, continuing to chew on the bread with her head down, trying to get angry with Annan in this way.

Idilia was helpless and amused. She glanced at Laila, who was laughing. Unable to count on her sister, Idilia had to ask Annan herself, "Did you criticize Cathy?"

Cathy seemed to continue to fight with the bread, but her ears perked up.

"Well, Cathy actually dressed the princess up like a maid."

"This……"

As if worried that Idyllia didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, Annan put down his knife and fork and said seriously: "She is the king of Strange City, a hero who sacrificed herself to protect the entire world of Allen."

He looked at Cathy who raised her head: "Do you understand? She is a more powerful king than me. You can't bully a king when he is weak. That would be a disgrace to him."

"It's okay for you to dress up as a pirate. This is a game between the two of you. But you shouldn't dress up as a maid and say things like that to me. The princess is not anyone's vassal, and no one has the right to do so."

"...I understand. I'm sorry, Annan, Princess Sister." Cathy pursed her lips, looking obedient. "But the clothes are what Princess Sister wanted to wear..."

Annan paused, and stole a glance at the princess. She didn't realize they were talking about her, and was still eating, with a circle of food residue at the corner of her mouth.

He said nothing and lowered his head to eat.

Annan was too embarrassed to apologize to Cathy, but Idilia touched Cathy's head and smiled gently, "Let's eat."

"Sister Idilia, what Annan's father said is right. I was too reckless..."

Annan didn't bother to correct the confusion of seniority, and said with relief: "It's good that you can realize it, Cathy. In the future, you will grow into a lord more powerful than me."

"Really?"

"Ok!"

"Heh, this guy just wants you to grow up quickly and take over as city lord so he can go out and have adventures." An inappropriate sarcastic remark floated from the side.

Annan turned his head immediately.

"Laila, you won't catch any fish tomorrow!"
