Alien world

Chapter 1533 Chapter 167. The first step of industrialization

The sea fog dissipated in the morning light, and Liberty City gradually woke up.

After a day of strolling, Griffin arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Annan met Griffin in his loyal office - the lounge.

"how do you feel?"

Griffin said with genuine appreciation: "Everything here is so beautiful, the air is full of sweetness and freedom..."

"Stop."

Annan was not used to the flattery of a quasi-senior alchemist, so he asked, "Have you been to the Mushroom House and the Mage Tower?"

"Yes, you are very ambitious, and it is the right decision for me to be loyal to you..."

Annan was noncommittal: "I plan to let you go to these two places or Liberty City University. Are you interested?"

He decided to give the initiative to Griffin.

"I want to go to school."

Annan thought so too, but there was some deviation in their perceptions.

Annan wanted Griffin to go to school as a professor of alchemy.

Griffin wanted to go to school as a student.

"student?"

“I need to be like a sponge and soak up this knowledge.”

Griffin was very humble, but the more humble he was, the weirder Annan found him.

Suppressing his inner wonderment, Annan said, "But it's a waste of talent for an alchemist to be a student. If you just want to attend classes...how about auditing as a temporary professor? You can claim to others that you are learning teaching experience."

"I have no objection." Griffin accepted it readily.

Annan then asked him what he was best at.

"Potions and research."

"Potions…Griffin, I have an idea."

Annan told Griffin about his idea of ​​introducing standardized production processes for potions. He felt that as an alchemist who also believed in scientific concepts, he should be able to understand him.

Indeed, Griffin was intrigued.

It is still too early to have a fully automatic potion workshop, but the potion workshop can be put on the agenda.

Annan had a good idea: the potion workshop must meet the fund's requirements, because the workshop must purchase potions, right? After the potions are refined into potions and then sold, wouldn't all the profits belong to him?
If your Liberty City Development Fund doesn't let me use this money, then can't I transfer the fund from one hand to the other and turn it into clean money so I can spend it?
Since Griffin has no objection, Annan can let him do the job.

"There is a tradition in Liberty City that the powerful hold multiple positions. Look at her." In case Griffin declined, Annan pointed to Ingrid who was passing by the corridor and said, "She is the Minister of Finance of Liberty City, the assistant to the Deputy Mayor of Olmedo, and the general consultant of the commercial street."

"She's only 26 now. Can you imagine that three years ago, she was only 23?"

"hard to imagine……"

Griffin had countless problems, such as being entrusted with such an important task right after arriving in Liberty City, but facing Annan's honest gaze, he was finally relieved and accepted the invitation to become the professor of alchemy and the head of the potion workshop in Liberty City.

No matter what Griffin planned, at least for now, he could only work honestly for himself.

Annan planned to eat the sugar coating and melt the bullets when facing the enemy's sugar-coated bullets.

Maybe he will thank us.

"Thank you, Lord Annan."

Griffin walked out and passed by a delicate-looking girl in the corridor.

"Colette, why are you here?"

Annan's surprised voice came from the lounge.

Colette sat on the still warm sofa and looked out the door: "Who just said that was..." "Griffin, the new professor at Liberty City University."

Colette just asked casually and got down to business: "I want to talk to you about rebuilding the Order Church."

"Do you have an idea?"

The other three haven't come to see Annan yet.

"Let me sort this out..."

Colette thought back to what happened that day.

After Annan told her about his idea of ​​rebuilding the church, he had just returned to his residence when there was a knock on the door. The man claimed to be a priest and wanted to talk to her about something.

But after Colette let the priest in, he suddenly fell on the table from the chair he was sitting on, and then an illusory soul emerged from his body, claiming to be a heroic spirit.

Colette's father was the archbishop of Strange City, so she naturally had a way to identify heroic spirits and confirmed its identity.

It said that it was originally executing oracles in the mortal world, but in the years of turmoil, it lost contact with the God of Order, and its divine power was constantly fading. After trying many methods to no avail, it had no choice but to enter the body of a dead priest during a holy war.

At this moment, it learned that the Son of Lady Fortune was born in Liberty City, so it drove this body, which was about to die, to rush over.

After running around continuously, this body is about to decay.

Colette approached the priest lying on the table. As expected, he already had a faint stench, but it was covered up by the perfume.

"Which heroic spirit are you?" Colette asked it.

"Ewald." The glowing humanoid heroic spirit said arrogantly.

"The great knight who died in the cesspool?"

The ball of light fluctuated, and it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

"No offense, everyone respects you."

Ewald learned that the enemy was going to attack the monastery, and was chased for delivering the message, so he jumped into the cesspool to hide. Although the letter was delivered, he died of the subsequent acute infection and fortunately became the heroic spirit of the God of Order.

But the Heroic Spirit seems to care... and rightly so. Drowning in a manure pit is almost as disgraceful as being beaten to death by goblins.

Fortunately, it still remembered the serious matter: "Is the story of the Son of God true?"

"Yes, Annan Reeves is the Holy Son chosen by the Lady, and is recognized by the Archbishop and the Saint. He also wants to rebuild the Church of Order in Liberty City?"

"Reconstruct... take me to see him quickly... No, not yet." Ying Ling changed his mind and asked Colette to take him around the city.

He reached into the badge on the priest's chest and asked Colette to pick it up and put it on.

"What shall we do with this body?"

"Put it here first."

"No, this is my house."

It was a bit disgusting to have a stinking corpse in the house, so Colette temporarily put it in the magic ring, opened the window for ventilation, and then went out.

"Where are you going?" Colette asked to herself.

"Take a walk around. You don't have to say it out loud. Just talk to me in your heart." The voice of the hero rang directly in Colette's mind. "Why are there so many people from the Church of Wealth? Have they occupied this place?"

On the busy streets, believers in church robes can be seen everywhere, and if you pour a basin of water down from the second floor, you may splash several bishops.

"No, Liberty City and the church are just cooperating. The reason why there are so many people in the church is because they live in the embassy, ​​which is that building."

"Can you go in?"

"Okay, I just happen to want to ask the Saint something... But be careful, the Saint might find you."

"Don't worry. In these turbulent times, no priest dares to waste divine power."
