Alien world

Chapter 1539 173. News that caused confusion

The "Annan Dream Fund" is a long-term event. Annan attended it for a week and then became a hands-off boss.

Idilia also had a lot of official business to deal with, so it was impossible for her to spare an afternoon to interview the alchemist.

Deng Buli is a "vested interest", and it is convenient for him to pick people, so he will definitely be unable to get away.

As for the remaining candidates...Annan let the cardinal in black sit on it.

The Church of Wealth is the financial sponsor, so it is only natural for them to send people to conduct the audit. However, there is still one person missing. Annan hopes that person can stand on the side of Liberty City and argue with the Cardinal in black.

Annan's gaze fell on Francois who had returned in a hurry, and his dark eyes lit up.

Francois felt a chill down his spine, as if he was being stared at by some terrifying being, and his legs were trembling.

He turned in a very small circle on the spot and quickly disappeared from Annan's sight.

"Fran——"

Annan was about to call him, but Francois didn't even turn around and said, "I remembered something was still cooking in the kitchen. Go back and check the pot!"

Ingrid passed by Francois, who was bitten by a dog, and was targeted by the terrifying existence that diverted hatred.

"Sorry, I'm not free."

"I haven't said anything yet!" Annan said angrily.

"You tell me."

"We are still short of one alchemist for interview—"

"I'm busy."

Ingrid uttered the words more crisply than before and walked away in her boots.

"Deprive you of all your positions!" Annan muttered.

"There is such a good thing?" The Minister of Military Affairs who was passing by said in surprise.

He originally came with Annan hoping to make use of his remaining energy to give some guidance to the young people, but he didn't expect that giving guidance would turn into a heavy burden. He is busy from morning to night every day and has not had as much free time as when he was in the Kingdom of Rikaner.

"Well, Mr. Renato, you are the backbone of Liberty City, a solid pillar. No one can be without you."

After sending Renato away and unable to find a suitable candidate, Annan had no choice but to look at Losi who was always in front of him.

"I'm not suitable, Your Majesty." Luo Xi waved his hands repeatedly.

"Why are you not suitable? I think you are very suitable."

We have Dumbledore as the professional, the Cardinal as the financial backer, and the third one is just responsible for loyalty.

Luo Xi said in embarrassment: "Lord Annan, I have to patrol all day, so I can only practice breathing techniques in my spare time. My progress has been much slower, and many soldiers are almost stronger than me..."

Well, as the leader of a legion, it is indeed shameful to have soldiers who are not as strong as himself.

Annan waved his hand and felt that he had to capture a few more people to do the job.

……

Griffin was in charge of the potion workshop and the 10,000-gold fund. Rogers and others became team leaders and independently managed projects. Holden and Anderson received a buyout of thousands of gold for inventing bicycles and canned food...

This news was intentionally spread through "Voice of Freedom". Even without the help of "I Love Invention", news about "Annan Dream Fund" also spread among alchemists.

Liberty City lacks heritage, is in a remote location, and its lord is an unpleasant warlock...but he is generous.

Griffin can make advanced potions, so it is natural for him to get 10,000 gold nars. But who are Rogers, Holden, and Anderson? They don't even have an independent alchemy workshop, so why do they get 1,000 gold nars!

More and more alchemists thought I could do it, and all of them rushed to Liberty City. On a new day, the doors of the Council Hall opened, and the first inventor of the day walked in.

Young Deng Buli first gave a professional review, then the cardinal in black estimated the value, and finally looked at the third "judge" at the same time.

"what?"

Mr. Fast, who was leaning against the chair, stretched out his legs and dozing off, looked around in confusion.

He knew nothing, and only remembered what Annan had told him. Under the gaze of the black-robed cardinal with a sullen face, he said:

"You have to pay more."

……

The new issue of "Voice of Freedom" is like a bombshell dropped on Middle-earth - but people are not paying attention to the "Annan Dream Fund", but an inconspicuous piece of news: the Church of Wealth, the Church of Order, the Church of the Spider Queen, and the Church of Doom will build churches in Liberty City.

Politicians who have made it a habit to read The Voice of Freedom every Monday looked at it several times to make sure they were not seeing things.

The Church of Wealth and the Church of Order are understandable, but the Church of the Spider Queen and the Church of Doom...is this still Middle-earth?
That champion warlock wouldn't think that the more churches he built, the better his relationship with them would be, right? In fact, the most likely possibility is that all four churches want to destroy Liberty City.

Church of Wealth: The Son of God is a spy sent by the Spider Queen.

Church of Order: What a heresy, purge!
Church of Doom: You will die alone forever.

Church of the Spider Queen: Interesting, kill.

That is to say, in the turbulent years, the gods were busy with their own affairs, and the monks searched the world for clues, otherwise they would let that sorcerer see what the kindness of the gods was.

The attitudes of various forces are mixed.

This is the case in the South, where the influence of the church is still deeply rooted. If it were not too far away, people would have gone there to cause trouble.

The empire is busy with the new expedition, and they are just chatting about their little brother. Although small in size, he is really awesome when it comes to doing things.

The Principality of Keating, which usually made some sarcastic remarks, remained silent. They were almost beaten to death by the rat people, and they sent people to ask the Empire when to send troops all day long.

Most of those who had trade relations with the Free City were silent, while those who had little trade relations were much more sharp. One great lord said that if he dared to build the Church of the Spider Queen and the Church of Doom today, he would dare to cooperate with the Ratmen tomorrow. Then someone whispered to him that Annan had already done so.

Others say that Annan Reeves is simply the Son of Chaos, while opponents say, why don’t you take a closer look at what church the second one is?
As for the Elven King's Court... the elves were still immersed in the joy of the Elven Celebration. Although that happened last year, it was as if it happened last week and was still fresh in my memory.

The most radical attitude came from the Or Empire. They acted like the "Thirteen Supreme Kings" and ordered Annan Reeves to stop the construction of the Spider Queen Church and the Church of Doom, and to publicly apologize for their unreasonable behavior.

Seeing that Annan ignored them, the Or Empire actually put pressure on the surrounding forces and asked them to confiscate the industries of Free City.

"What's wrong with the Or Empire again?"

Isn't this method of creating conflict a bit too immature?

"The Church of Order is backed by the Orr Empire. If you attack the Church of Order, it's like piercing their feet with nails."

"What a coincidence?" Annan was surprised.

Olmedo also looked surprised: "I thought you knew it."

It turns out that Annan had an idea to force the Church of Order to join?

"Ahem...yes, I did it on purpose."

Olmedo's eyes were full of doubt, and Annan changed the subject: "Do we have trade relations with Olmedo, or the Or Empire?"

As for an apology…no one can make Annan apologize except the ancestors.
