Chapter 1223 Section 145 Ends

Chapter 1223 Chapter 145. The end

Not all farmers are lucky enough to go to school.

There are 30,000 farmers in Liberty City, but the School of Life can accommodate up to 1,000 students, and space must be reserved for others.

Hunter was the lucky one chosen, but Jack was screened out.

In order to save face, Jack said that he was not selected because he didn't want to go.

"You're right," echoed the officer who came to pick up Hunter.

This statement surprised Jack more than saying he was not as good as Hunter.

"You mean Silly Hunter is willing to learn!?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask him?" the talkative official shrugged.

Jack glanced sideways at Hunter, who was smiling naively: "You? Can you read?"

"Lord Annan will not harm me!"

Hunter had a simple concept shared by most people in Liberty City: whatever Annan asked them to do must be for their own good.

"You're still so stupid!" Jack screamed.

But when Hunter left with the officials, Jack looked at their backs in despair, as if he had lost something...

Although the cabin in the past was dull, at least Hunter was willing to listen to himself nagging, and he would never refute no matter how much he nagged. But after he left, the room fell into complete silence.

Compared with physical loneliness, Jack's psychological loneliness is even worse.

He was afraid that Hunter, who was as boring as a cow, would be bullied by others in the academy, but he was even more afraid that Hunter would really take the opportunity to stand out... If Hunter really got into trouble... it would be even worse than killing him!

After finally staying up until the evening, Jack, who had been leaning against the door and looking toward Liberty City all day, finally saw Hunter coming back covered with sunset.

"What have you learned? You can't really read it word for word, right?" Jack crossed his arms and had a mean tone.

"I don't want to say it." Hunter showed no expression.

"I know, you must be too tired." Jack was slightly startled, and then changed his tone of voice when speaking to Hunter: "Damn school, you are so tired after you can plow the fields for three consecutive days!"

"Jack," he said, "there's a wall between us."

"you……"

Jack suddenly had a feeling that he was about to lose Hunter...

"I cooked for you, haven't you eaten yet?" Jack put on a smile and ran to the stove to open the lid of the pot, "I know your stomach must be empty, so I made two more pieces of bread..."

Hunter walked to his bed, dragged out the wooden box under the bed, took out the clothes one by one, and said, "I won't come back. The college has arranged a dormitory in the city for us."

Bang——

The pot lid in Jack's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His first reaction was what to do with the farmland. If divided according to contribution, he should be able to get half of one hectare...?

How much is that?

Jack couldn't figure it out at the moment, but he knew that he would definitely be impoverished...

He can't live without Hunter, just like Ruth can't live without Jack!

When Jack was still thinking about how to retain Hunter, he turned back and said, "What are you still waiting for?"

"What?"

"I told my mentor that I have a brother, and he said I could take him over and live with him."

"Hunter..."

Jack's lips were trembling, he would be lying if he said he wasn't moved. If he were a woman, she would definitely marry him!

“What about our land?”

Hunter glanced down at him, and that look felt familiar to him—once upon a time, he had always looked at Hunter with this look.

"We don't have to farm in the winter, so of course we put it here."

…

After several days of enrollment, the new school has enrolled nearly half of the new students.

The remaining gaps are concentrated in the three major colleges - after all, there are few talented professionals, and there are even fewer free cities composed of civilians and refugees.

Annan didn't forcefully recruit people. He still understood the principle of having more people than lacking.

At this time, he noticed the eldest sister's graceful eyebrows furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Itilia handed the report to Annan, who first saw a line of numbers marked in red: 10283. This month's financial expenditure in Liberty City exceeded 10,000 gold coins for the first time.

This was a drop in the bucket of their income, but it was enough to make Itilia wary.

A territory with only 300,000 people costs 10,000 gold coins?

Itilia knocked on the table and asked Abby outside the door to go to Ingrid's office to find the financial statements.

After it was delivered, she took the financial statements and compared them one by one with the purchase list.

The new school alone cost almost 1,700 gold, followed by 1,400 gold for the purchase of iron ore and the construction of the railway.

There are also expenses for city defense construction and punishment corps to suppress bandits outside.

These are all necessities, and every amount can be matched.

It seems that Liberty City does not need to worry about corruption for the time being.

Itilia asked Abby to take back the financial statements and looked at Annan with emotion: "Thanks to you..."

"ah?"

Annan, who was napping on the sofa, scratched his head: "Hey, I'm not that good either..."

Ta-ta-ta-

The cold sound of hard-soled boots suitable for field combat on the wooden floor came from outside the corridor. Itilia raised her head and watched the Liberty City messenger appear outside the door.

"My lord, deputy city lord, I have a letter from the north."

The messenger didn't notice Annan on the sofa and walked to the table.

Annan saw that the envelope he was holding was stamped with a unique emblem: it was the emblem of the Kingdom of Dimon.

To be more specific, it is the family emblem of Grand Marshal Galkin.

Information about the Kingdom of Dimon...

A few days ago, he had just sent about 30,000 tons of grain from the autumn harvest to the capital of the Kingdom of Dimon. Could the letter he sent now be a thank you to himself...?

Annan sat up and looked at the eldest sister who opened the envelope with a more solemn expression than before.

"Brother, take a look at this."

Annan walked to the table and took the letter. There was only one line in the letter: The Skaven suddenly launched an attack.

The less content, the bigger the problem.

Sure enough, the Mackenzies struck in the fall.

In fact, it is not sudden, they had warnings before, and it is difficult to conceal what the rat people want to do.

It’s just that the information conveyed is too simple, so I might as well say more...

Annan shook the paper and took a photo of it under the sun to make sure there were no interlayers or hidden contents.

"Is your rat-man confidant still in the city?" the eldest sister asked him.

"Gale? I'll ask her to ask the clan later."

Annan said, suddenly hearing some movement and looking out the door.

Evelin poked her head out of the door: "Big news?"

Annan threw the letter away.

"Well, get ready to publish it."

There is a saying in Liberty City.

Once Evelin knew, everyone knew.

This is not only a compliment to Evelin for being well-informed, but also a compliment to "Voice of Freedom" for its wide spread.

Later when Annan chose to announce the news, the commanders of the six legions except Ilimayas gathered at the city lord's palace and expressed their desire to fight the rat men.

Young warriors are eager to establish meritorious deeds.

"Wait a moment..." Annan could only say to them.

After all, one side of merit is glory, and the other side is sacrifice... He promised to bring happiness to everyone.
