Alien world

Chapter 262 115. Man, Woman, Liliana
The vacant houses in Moon Bay were filled by the residents of Louis City.

Ely Crushed Stone had no time to build new houses, because all the hands were transferred to strengthen and expand the city walls.

The northern city wall is two meters wide and five meters high, while the southern and eastern city walls are even more perfunctory at only two meters high. They can be turned over with a little jump, and even dwarves can't stop them.

If the Ratman continued to go north along the Kingdom of Rikaner, he would run into a wall 10 meters high—but there seemed to be no difference between a [-]-meter-high wall and a [-]-meter-high city wall in front of the overwhelming rat tide.

After a few months of leisure, Xingyue Bay became busy again.

The things Urmit needed were piled up in the warehouse one after another, tools and cement could be provided by Xingyue Bay, and food and horses could only be transported from Breeze City.

Ingrid and Annan reported on the price of grain: "Every pound of wheat flour is only two copper coins higher than in previous years, but as the ratmen approach, the grain shipped from the south will become less and less or even disappear. We need to stock up more grain .”

"I'm worried that if there are more of us, there will be fewer civilians." Annan said hesitantly.

Ingrid said that Annan's worries were unnecessary-by then all food would be monopolized by the nobles.

Annan confidently signed the decree to let Xingyuewan purchase farmland aggressively, and then told Olmedo about the matter before the new issue of "Xingyuewan News" was released, and she said that the City Lord's Mansion had already started the acquisition.

"why did not you tell me?"

"I thought you knew... Aren't you buying food?"

"Ok, I know."

Annan asked Leila to tell the eldest sister the news, and then mobilized all the residents to pickle the sea fish and dry them in the sun.Dried salted fish will not deteriorate for several years, and can be used to defend against intruders if necessary.

A beautiful landscape soon appeared in Xingyue Bay - rows of salted fish hanging on the clothesline, and the smell of fish everywhere.

"Do you want some?" Annan asked Ulmit.

"Do not……"

There are still two months until the autumn harvest. With the Ratman's speed and the size of the Kingdom of Rikan... at least the Ratman will have a chance to enter the northern border next spring.

But Annan couldn't think of why the Ratman ran to the foot of the snow mountain, just like he couldn't think of the thirteen clans of the Ratman going straight to the north.

The three sailboats set off earlier today, and their purpose was to go to Yongye Port to find Haiying to buy more ships.Annan was inspired by the city of Louis. If the Ratmen really come, they can also flee to the island.

After several days of busy work, enough food has been purchased, and a new week is coming.

The new issue of "Xingyuewan News" is on sale.Evelyn's voice sounded in Star Moon Bay, Breeze City, and Snow Mountain Fortress at the same time:
"The Thirteen Clans of the Ratmen Go North!"The Kingdom of Violet has fallen!The Kingdom of Rikaner has built a line of defense! "

"The McCann Ratman crossed the Strait of Obiris, crossed the Elven Pass and the Black Iron Mountains, and captured the Violet Kingdom. The king and the royal family suffered bad luck. Only Earl Ulmit took refuge in Star Moon Bay." I want to go back to Home, rebuild the kingdom house by house! "He said. The Ratman army is suppressing the border, and the city-states along the way are migrating and evading. The Kingdom of Rikaner is in danger!"

"The second prince, Vitalig, was suspected of rebellion and died of poisoning. The king of the North was framed for participating in the rebellion and was wanted"

"Vitalig, the second prince of the Kingdom of Rakan, died of poisoning. Before that, he was suspected of rebellion by the eldest prince who acted as the king. At the same time, the king of the northern border who was thousands of miles away was also framed and participated in Vitalig's conspiracy. Lawrence Te's previous head of the family said: That [expletive] is simply impossible, [expletive] Annan would [expletive] not do [expletive] dirty work for [expletive] nobles, this is what [expletive] royal family wants [expletive] fight for rights."

"..."

"Weather forecast for this week: There will be a massive rat wave in the southern part of the Kingdom of Rikan."

……

"How far are we from Xingyue Bay!"

The girl poked her head out of the shaking car window and asked.

"Up to three weeks." The merchant leader in front replied hastily, "We are not far from Breeze City."

"Oh, I've finished reading the Philosopher's Stone."

"Uh... Do you want another Philosopher's Stone?" The merchant leader's heart was bleeding.

"No, do you have any books here?"

"Yes! It's just been seen... Do you mind?"

"The teacher said that the more people know the knowledge, the closer to the essence, of course."

The leader of the merchant ran back to the truck, snatched the book that an apprentice was holding, and gave it to the girl.

"Breaking the Sky, by Annan Reeves, King of the North...Huh?"

"It's true. The locals know that Mr. Annan hid in the town to recuperate after being attacked, and wrote this book. There is also the phrase 30 years on the east side of the Planney River, and 30 years on the west side of the Planney River!" Follow along shouted the apprentice.

"30 Years Planey East...?"

"Master Annan didn't use it for 30 years. It only took him three months to catch the murderer who attacked him. He also solved the crisis in Breeze City and uncovered the Ratman conspiracy!"

The excited apprentice is full of admiration for Annan.

"Then I want to take a closer look... Is this your book? This is for you." The girl took off one of her rings and threw it to the apprentice.

"I...I can't take it." The apprentice returned the magic ring amidst the crazy hint of the caravan leader.

"Take it, exchange what you like for what I like, the equation is established."

The girl retracted into the car, and the caravan leader stared at the magic ring on the apprentice's hand: "I gave your book to her..."

After the voice fell, dust rose from the road in the distance, and a group of knights galloped past.

A few days later, the travel-worn knights came to the gate of Breeze City, but they were stopped by the guards.The knight captain took out the king's decree and declared: "We come from the king's capital, carrying the king's will!"

People around the city gate stopped and watched.

"King of the North, Annan Reeves colluded with the second prince Vitalig to rebel."

Everyone in front of the city gate stared at the knights in dusty armor, and someone suddenly shouted: "They are the bastards who framed Jack!"

"Get out of Breeze City!"

"Catch them!"

The turbulent roar made the knights not expect it, and pulled out their long swords with their tired bodies: "What are you going to do!"

"Sorry, they had some misunderstandings with you..."

The guards pouring out from the city separated the crowd from the knights, and the captain of the guards raised his head and said to the captain of the knights:

"I suspect that you are pretending to be knights of the kingdom. Please dismount and accept our investigation."

……

The busyness of these days made Annan always feel that he had forgotten something.Laila's fishing?Supplies from Ulmit?

When he came to the study and saw the broken magic mirror, Annan finally remembered what he had forgotten.

Picking up the broken mirror, Annan thought for a while and asked, "Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Cold words drilled from the shattered mirror:
"Liliana Lowrey."
