Chapter 1201 Section 123 Showing the Rats the Magic Image
Chapter 1201 Section 123. Show the Skavens Magic Videos
This name carries Annan’s beautiful vision: I hope this group of Skaven craftsmen can bring good things.
In fact, they did a good job. Olmedo, who got the progress of the tunnel today, said that 100 Skavens made the excavation speed nearly twice as fast as the previous two days.
“If it’s so useful, should we ask the Stoun Skavens to send 100 Skaven craftsmen?” Annan asked tentatively.
“Why recruit so many Skavens? In terms of efficiency, golems and earth elements are not worse than them.” No northerner would have a good impression of Skavens. Even Olmedo didn’t want too many Skavens in Liberty City.
"If you are in a hurry, why don't you use them?"
Annan shook his head: "If we use golems and earth elementals to work, what will the workers do?"
Another 100 ratmen craftsmen will not squeeze the workers' positions, but using golems is not necessarily the case, just like the Susan spinning machine that Annan moved out at the beginning...
It is definitely not a bad thing to exchange a smaller cost for greater efficiency, but it is a bad thing at the wrong time: a hasty upgrade will cause a surge in the number of unemployed people, and the number of unemployed people will increase instability.
Free City can afford them, but it cannot tolerate the emergence of lazy people. So when there is a shortage of recruitment in Free City, that is the best time to upgrade.
"Let's observe for a few more days." Olmedo said, "We have to observe the attitude of citizens towards them."
"Then do as you say."
...
Another thing happened on this day: the Elf Celebration that Annan secretly followed officially ended.
Except for rumors of alliances and rare attacks, the Elf Celebration is no different from previous years-except that most forces are not eligible to participate twice.
The Elf King Court and the Kingdom of Paem downplayed the incident of the attack, turning it into a story that Prince Aidan did many evil things during the celebration because of his hatred for the elves, and was eventually brought to justice, and his remains were sent back to the kingdom.
Since both parties have reconciled, the dispute is no longer there.
As for Annan... his role as a conciliator was downplayed by both parties.
The Elf King Court would not claim that they would rely on the help of humans to catch the murderer, and the king would not take the initiative to publicize the bad things Prince Aidan did in the King's Court, so it is hard to say that the generous gift given by the kingdom did not have the intention of keeping silent.
That was better than the King's Court. They did not contact Annan and gave him nothing. Teddel did not contact him and gave him nothing. They were extremely arrogant and even gave him nothing!
Annan could only silently recite in his heart, 30 years on the east bank of the Planni River, 30 years on the west bank of the Planni River...
The guests set off on their return journey, and the Skeleton King was no exception, and deliberately "passed by" the Free City.
"How many people did it eat?" The Skeleton King raised his head. Now the Otherworld Tree needed him to look up.
The Otherworld Tree rustled and shook its branches. Annan said, "You are too harsh to say that. It is not happy."
The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes "stared" at the Otherworld Tree: "Has it given birth to self-awareness?"
"In fact, it can't be said to be consciousness. It is more like a small animal that can respond to your behavior." Annan stretched out his hand, and the Otherworld Tree responded by dropping a branch into his palm. The gentle touch made him smile.
Who can refuse a world tree that is close to him and belongs to him?
"Aren't you going to hide it?"
"No need. I think the elves won't react that quickly. When they find out, Liberty City will no longer be afraid of them."
"Have you decided?"
Annan was about to ask what he decided, and remembered the conversation before they parted.
"Who knows? There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. If the future elves are willing to kneel before me and lick me... willing to beg for my forgiveness, I am not incapable of considering it."
Before leaving, the Skeleton King asked Annan for a few leaves of the Other World to do research.
Annan also happened to ask the Skeleton King for something: "If you get closer to the Strange News City, help me try to summon the Other World Merchant."
After all, the Other World Tree is not a native life. Who knows if there will be any accidents one day in the future. In order to prevent the carefully cultivated Other World Tree from withering, he must be fully prepared.
After the Skeleton King agreed, he took Annan's free teleportation back to the Kingdom of the Dead---Warlocks certainly have advantages of this or that, but there are also many advantages that legends cannot achieve. For example, the portal across the continent.

A new day, a new noise.
But after listening for a long time, Little Smo still likes the movement of the hand guard hanging on the rock. With the sudden burst of Mars, he can see the night sky even in the daytime.
He occasionally helped the rat craftsmen hold the magic lanterns, but mainly he brought them food and thought about where to take them to play tonight.
The theater is a good place to go. Little Smo still remembers the shock he felt when he first saw the magic image. Although the theater ticket is as low as 1 silver coin, it is still a bit expensive, but most people in Liberty City can go to the theater to have fun on a leisurely weekend, or go to the tavern to order a glass of lemonade and watch the succubus dance.
The rat craftsmen may not be able to go to the tavern, not because they are worried about fighting with the guests, but because their broad backs may not be able to squeeze into the door.
In order to let the rat craftsmen perform in the same theater, Little Smo went to the Liberty City Grand Theater at lunch time.
Coincidentally, the employee of the theater was a former member of the Free Blade. After listening to the purpose of the visit, he patted his chest and promised that he would reserve a time slot for Little Smo in the evening.
Taking out the purse, Little Smo paid a gold coin.
"The ratmen are so rich?" His old subordinate said as he reached out to take the money.
"I got a severance pay."
The theater employee stopped moving instantly and refused to take it.
"Take it, my severance pay is more than yours."
The theater employee took the money and promised to make the rats feel like they were home when they entered the theater--
"It's better not to make them feel like they were home." Little Smo had to remind him.
After a busy day, Little Smo led the rats to the theater as he did yesterday.
After patiently waiting for the rats to buy a lot of food outside the theater, they walked into the theater.
"Commander, what are you showing them, "The Fall of the Mage Tower"?
"I'm no longer the commander...you're showing the rats the magic video of the rats attacking the mage tower?"
"Isn't it good?" the theater employee said in surprise.
"Do you want to work in a new theater?"
"Oh...then which one do you want to work in?"
"Don't address me respectfully...just "When Freedom Knocks on the Door."
"Leave it to me!"
The core of "When Freedom Knocks on the Door" is the story of aliens who suffer discrimination outside and finally find happiness in Liberty City.
So although the rats were looking at the orcs, they were putting their own emotions into it.
If they had any.
Little Smo stood aside.
As the former commander of the Freeblade, he realized better than anyone how useful magic images are.
Regardless of race, gender, or position, magic images have the power to make people sit quietly in front of the curtain for two hours.
