Alien world

Chapter 173 27. New Territories

François, wearing a warm buckskin coat, came to the carriage blocked by the knights outside the new town.

"You are not welcome here."

François prepares the knights to drive away the uninvited guests: Rhona Gilman and her deformed brother.

The Gilman family is notorious in Breeze City, even Francois is ashamed of himself.At least the people of Breeze City wouldn't say when scaring their children: "If you cry again, the Baron Shameless will tear your face off."

Rona Gilman stepped off the carriage with the emblem printed on it, and the cold sea breeze ripped her black hair: "Francois, I thought you could understand us in the same situation."

"What do you want to say?" Francois frowned slightly.

"The rumored cannibalism, close relatives, belief in evil gods... My 'brother' and I are going to end the bad bloodline, and the belief in evil gods also stays in our parents' generation."

"So cannibalism is real?"

"...The King of the North can accept ogres, why can't he accept us?"

Francois swept the carriage: "You want to join Moon Moon Bay? Why?"

"And why are you?"

The answer is no burden.These new citizens don't know the "Baron Shameless" and don't care.The busyness of Xingyue Bay made Francois busy and fulfilled.

The Gilmans also want to get rid of the stigma and start over like themselves?
A nobleman who took refuge in the King of the North... Francois chose to bring Rhona Gilman to Annan and leave it to the lord to decide.

……

Annan, Ingrid, and the chunky craftsman gathered around the mould.The pointed hammer wielded by the chunky craftsman only chiseled a white mark and debris on the solidified cement.The chunky craftsman knocked dozens of times, but he only dug out a shallow hole, confirming that it has a hardness similar to that of stone.

"It flows like water when it is stirred, and it is as hard as a stone when it solidifies... This is the foundation of what I call Xingyue Bay."

"Are you sure you want to pave the way with such an expensive thing?"

These days, the chunky craftsmen have witnessed Annan's generosity - no matter how responsible the lord is, he will only keep the people in a state where they can work without starving to death or freezing to death.But in Xingyue Bay, although there is endless work, no one endures severe cold and hunger.

Ingrid also had the same expression - there is nothing cheap about alchemy.

"Cement is not that expensive, and it can even be produced in large quantities... If you are willing to join Xingyue Bay, I will tell you the formula."

Now Annan only has the ratio of cement and sand, and the real formula is with Michael.

And Annan coveted Ingrid and the artisans for a long time——

The dumpy craftsman was interested, but not enough for Ingrid.

"Are you sure you want me to join your territory?"

"Any questions?"

The chunky craftsman's answer was to use a short blade to shave off the thick beard that the dwarves valued so much. The rugged body like a wine barrel had the appearance of an elf.

The beard is actually the protective coat of the dumpy craftsman.

"Are you an elf?"

Whether it's an elf mother, or a dwarf mother...they're all true love.

"My father was an elf and my mother was a dwarf."

So half-elven, or half-dwarf-designed houses have the deft style of elven architecture.

But Annan didn't understand what this had to do with joining Xingyue Bay.

Ingrid knew that the King of the North was different from normal nobles and even normal people: "We humans will be prejudiced against all races and mixed blood."

"Just this?"

But Annan didn't care, and was even delighted.Elves can live to be two or three thousand years old, dwarves can live to be three or four hundred years old, and chubby craftsmen can live to at least eight or nine hundred years old—working for Xingyue Bay for hundreds of years.

It's just that the chunky craftsman didn't easily believe that Annan would accept him.Annan was about to prove this when Francois led Rona Gilman outside the big house.

Her black hair startled Annan, who thought it was Leila who followed her back.

"Jack."

Rona Gilman smiled sweetly at Annan. Annan looked like "one more", skillfully took out the Philosopher's Stone from the drawer, signed his name and handed it to her.

"Annan, Lorna wants to join Xingyue Bay." Francois reminded in a low voice.

However, the black-haired girl took out a gemstone in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone, and brushed her fingertips across the back of Annan's hand.

This good-looking black gem won't be less than 100 gold coins, but Annan didn't change it - he still remembered the chaos and evil of the Gilman family.

"This is my 'brother'."

The black-haired girl opened the door of the carriage outside the big house, and a pale, orange-haired girl who seemed to have no bones slumped on the carriage.

"A girl?"

"The ugly reproduction of the Gilman family will end in my generation," she said. "We will no longer believe in evil gods."

"And what about cannibalism?"

Rhona Gilman doesn't shy away from this: "Only cannibalism can alleviate our suffering..."

Annan also mentioned that she wanted to eat herself at the banquet in Breeze City, and Rona explained that she smelled the sour smell of the countess that did not belong to people——

It turns out she was right, the Countess is a Ratman.

"I need time to think."

Annan temporarily placed the Gilman sisters who had taken refuge in him in an empty house in the camp, guarding the knights around them.

To solve this episode, Annan released the portal, let the ogre contact Olmedo to investigate the Gilman family, and then go to Michael and Bronzebeard:

Inviting Bronzebeard to pick a smithy location, Annan tells the half-dwarves that the real dwarves will stay in town too.

"My name is Ely Stonebreaker," said the half-dwarf.

Annan got the formula from Michael and handed it to the grateful Ely Gravel, reminding him not to use sea sand.

The next thing was about the Gilman family. The person Olmedo sent to investigate told Annan that the Gilman family really no longer believed in evil gods.Francois still hesitated:
"The identity of the Gilman sisters is not simple..."

"This is not important."

Annan is self-aware and looks around him:

Olmedo, her father, Augusta, was the one who caused the rat plague in Breeze City and the attack on Levi's; Della, who appeared to be the Lady of Wine, was actually a rat agent; Lady of Wine, her family had thousands of connections with the devil. Inextricably linked; Katarina, a fanatic of the evil god.Klein, whose identity is mysterious and whose origin is unknown; Fast, Andrew Luna, and Bronzebeard, all from a secret society.

Even Françoise's past is full of stories - there is nothing special about adding a cannibal family.

After confirming that the disappearance in Breeze City had nothing to do with the Gilman family, Annan called Lorna, and finally asked about the details of "cannibalism".

Rona said that she would roam the streets and lure villains to remote places... Annan's incident was an accident—she couldn't bear the delicious fragrance Annan exuded.

Annan reluctantly took it as a compliment: "If you get rid of the cannibalism, I will allow you to join Xingyue Bay."

"The ogre stopped eating people a long time ago, and now it has a soft spot for sweets. I suggest you try it too."
