Alien world

Chapter 1538 Chapter 172. Cutting leeks

Annan has been busy spending money these days, even turning the Pantheon from a symbol into reality was all for the sake of spending money. It's a little less, but you can get some arcane cores for free.

Rounding up is equivalent to bypassing the rules and using the money from the Church of Wealth to buy the arcane energy core.

It’s a pity that moving all the churches in at once would cause trouble. We can only slowly win over the churches and do it over a long period of time.

To steal the church's position, yesterday was the best time, the next best time is today.

Looking back at history, there are few opportunities better than the present. You say Annan is a heretic, how is he a heretic?
Heretics as defined by all religions are: enemies of God and the church.

But Annan is one of us. He founded the church in the turbulent years. How can you say he is a heretic? At most, he is just philanthropic, embracing all the gods and shouting, "You are all my wings."

If you say that treating everyone equally is a great heresy, then Annan will have to bring out the heroic spirits...

The heroes of the Church of Order all agree with my approach, who do you think you are?

……

Annan only had to give orders, and those light orders were like huge mountains to those who carried them out.

Before Eli Crushed Stone had finished designing the design for the Church of Wealth, he had to take on two more churches. He had to start taking drugs, skipping sleep, and burying his head in the design all day.

Originally, Eli Stonecrush was just as its name suggested, with the beauty, cleanliness and pointed ears of an elf, as well as the beard, sturdiness and narrow-mindedness of a dwarf.

Busy with work, Eli Stonecrush had no time to take care of his beard, and it became messy and dirty in just a few days. He was entangled in robbery and his handsome face was no longer visible. Instead, he looked more like a pure-blooded dwarf.

The news that all workers' wages would increase by 50% was also announced through the Ministry of Finance. The entire Free City was like an icy execution machine, perfectly carrying out Annan's orders.

The rich people sighed. They had wanted to buy a necklace for the beautiful lady they met at the banquet a few days ago, but now the necklace was gone.

The poor were overjoyed. Lord Annan gave them houses and land and raised their wages. Although the money came from the Wealth Church, they were only grateful to Annan.

But Annan is the Son of God, so it makes no difference.

On the other hand, according to Annan's request, Losey promoted Ewald's glorious deeds in the tavern.

He did not foolishly do the promotion himself, but chose to borrow a few bards from Evelyn and asked them to tell the story of the hero Ewald.

The news that there was a heroic spirit of the Church of Order in Liberty City also spread.

But just as all information will face an increase in entropy during transmission, the bard's mouth, which always has a tainted taste in everything he says, also changes the taste of a good deed.

"What did the bard say, ghost? Our Lord Annan has finally taken action against the undead."

"It makes sense."

"You heard it wrong. That ghost is not a woman. He was a man in his lifetime."

"It makes sense!"

……

Annan, whose mind was full of how to spend money, did not notice where the story would go. Seeing that he still had 2000 million gold nars to spend, he did not wait for Griffin's background to be investigated thoroughly, but found him and urged him to form a team for the potion workshop.

"These days, there are more than a dozen alchemists coming here from all over the place. They are all ready-made subordinates, and you can choose them directly."

"Lord Annan, they may not be able to do better." Griffin put on a pair of glasses and looked at the academy behind him as if he was learning. "I want these students more."

Annan generously said: "A batch of students just graduated a while ago, you can go and pick a few."

"Can I have them all?"

"No, I worked so hard to train them. They still need to shine in other fields."

Annan had only one request: "Don't be afraid of trial and error, and start mass production as soon as possible."

The Ministry of Finance allocated 10,000 gold nars to Griffin, which was a little less, but it was spent quickly. Griffin became the most envied person by all alchemists, and at the same time, his favor for Annan increased greatly - which alchemist could refuse such a generous sponsor?

When people are restless, Rogers' calmness is even more precious.

He had not yet developed an insatiable appetite like other alchemists. Before he officially entered the alchemist camp, Rogers was still very pure—he could feel the simplest happiness from his own inventions.

Dumbledore had little interest in training him to become the third or fourth head of the Mushroom House.

Being young is not a problem. The endless stream of heroes in chaotic times is not just due to the times, but because chaos brings turmoil, and turmoil breeds change.

A knight may die in the unrest, but a farmer can become a legend because of it.

That sounds a bit sectarian, but it's true.

Even the Chaos Cult itself has a purpose when creating chaos rituals: to find outstanding characters and recruit them into the sect.

The Order camp will also take this opportunity to attract talents and strengthen itself.

Only the turbulent area and the people living there will not be able to recover for dozens or hundreds of years...

The Lake of 10,000 Lakes is a striking example.

As the home of the Holy Grail Knights and the Knights Templar, and the reserve of the Lady of the Lake, a bunch of forces were fighting each other as soon as the gods lost contact, and even the two major knight orders could not stop them...

How can it be?

Even if these two knightly orders were given to Annan, he would still dare to attack the Empire!

The source of the turmoil in the Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes must not only be the Chaos Sect, but also the stirring of other forces...

The result was that the entire Lake of Ten Thousand Lakes was in chaos, with the Chaos Cult catching geniuses like chickens, and the Order camp also took the opportunity to recruit believers and exert influence.

"The essence of everything is to cut leeks..."

Annan sighed.

The development of the Order and Chaos camps is cutting leeks, the development of the gods' followers is cutting leeks, and even the large number of refugees accepted by the Free City is cutting leeks...

The only difference is that some people are only responsible for harvesting but not planting, while I will take good care of the farmland, fertilizing and watering the chives.

……

Siltovis, Alchemy Street.

Alchemist Paul frowned at Francois, who claimed to be the messenger of Liberty City and had a face as white as a woman. "Are you saying that the machine invented by Rogers was really favored by Annan?"

The eavesdropping alchemy apprentices opened their mouths comically like toads.

Is it true that the champion warlock really took a fancy to the garbage made by Rogers?

"Yes, Rogers has now moved into the Mushroom House and can recruit apprentices to carry out projects independently."

Alchemist Paul and the young apprentices did not understand, but they could understand the words "recruiting apprentices" and "independent projects". Some were jealous, some snorted coldly.

"The penalty cannot be reduced by even a cent!"

"It's natural."

Rogers was just an apprentice and the penalty for breach of contract was not much. Francois paid the money in exchange for the contract. Just as he was about to leave, the alchemist Paul called him again and threw a purse to him.

"That's his salary for last week."
