A strange world

Chapter 212 Chapter 65. Trivia in Breeze City

"That's fine. The secret cache is of little use to us. Holding it by force will attract the covetousness of other forces."

"Do you know what the secret is?" Annan asked Fast.

"have no idea."

Fast, who ran the tavern, yawned and wanted to go back to sleep.

Fast's words aroused the agreement of the dwarf and Ingrid. Compared with the secret treasures that all parties compete for, stability is the wealth of Xingyue Bay.

Lorna, who had placed the children in the mansion, came back and suggested that Annan find someone to take care of the children, but she found Annan staring out the window and not seeming to be listening.

"What are you looking at?"

"There is your silhouette outside the window." Annan blurted out after regaining consciousness, "Because I dare not look directly at your beauty."

The house suddenly became quiet, and Lorna's eyebrows rose.

"You...I can't think of...evil..." It was a conflicting emotion of surprise and disgust, which finally turned into an emotion that made her feel sick, and she rushed out.

Evelin covered her mouth in surprise and excitement: "Are you in Betar City..."

"No!"

"I misjudged you." But Bronzebeard just wanted to tease Annan, "Jack, I thought you and Rose were a couple."

"I've always said something out of the blue lately..." Annan said helplessly.

At first, he mistakenly thought it was an infection from a female warrior, and because he asked Blue Dragon to come to Xingyue Bay, Annan didn't take it to heart. But it's obviously not a coincidence that it still pops up unconsciously now. Fortunately, I just told Lorna. If she blurted it out with the elf mentor... Annan couldn't even think about what would happen.

"When did it start?"

"Back from the Haunted Gold Mine."

"I suggest you go to the Church of Fortune to see if you are cursed."

Annan thought about it. He was in such a hurry that he had not had time to promote "Betal's Redemption" in Breeze City and find the elf mentor.

Not knowing where the elf mentor was, Annan had trouble sleeping and eating.

"Have we done anything recently in the south?" Annan asked about Gema's current situation.

"They've been banging on the ice all day."

The port of Glacier Port is being built slowly. If one thousand pounds of ice is broken today, 990 pounds of ice will be frozen tomorrow. However, it is still faster than Xingyue Bay, which did nothing.

Annan also knew the details of Gema's sneak into Xingyue Bay that day, such as watching a game of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", inexplicably breaking into the mansion and knocking out an old woman, and running to the toilet to be scared away by the water element.

Those who knew it thought it was Gema, but those who didn't know thought it was a wild cat that broke into Xingyue Bay.

Annan felt that Gema had a reason for doing this: "Check the mansions and toilets she went to."

"she?"

"Second sister Leila told me that Gema is a girl."

Before evening arrived, Annan asked Ingrid to prepare the carriage. Then I wandered around Xingyue Bay with Evelin.

He saw Howler and the old orc sitting on a bench by the shore: "Do you know Grogda?"

"That swamp?"

"That's it, my tribe..."

"The last time I was there was more than a decade ago, and I don't know any more than you do, kid..."

Annan walked along the coast street to the other side, until the wind could no longer carry the whispers of the two orcs and sat on a bench.

As the busy work ended, there were more pedestrians on the street. They saw "Jack" and "Ruth" sitting on the bench. They lowered their voices with some relief and took a detour so as not to disturb their lord and the tavern. flower.

"Aren't you going to the tavern to help Mr. Fast?" Annan asked Evelin, who was still following him.

“I’ll stay with you for a while, it’s very relaxing to be around you.” Evelin could now say things calmly that would have made her blush before.

The sunset is setting on the sea, and the ice reflects the afterglow, bringing with it a special sense of beauty.

After preparing the carriage, Annan returned to the house and told Ingrid the arrangements for his two days away: "The children I brought back, Joan, West and Claudia. Joan and West have The potential of a businessman, Claudia is a warlock, give him half of my meditation materials.”

The knight captain led the team and the carriage drove out of Xingyue Bay.

The smooth road soon gave way to uneven frozen soil, and the last light disappeared in the west, leaving the forest dormant in darkness.

On the morning of the third day of departure, Annan returned to his faithful Breeze City.

Passers-by and professionals gathered around the carriage. Annan waved to them and arrived at the Benitez Grand Theater first.

The 20-foot-tall giant poster of "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" that countless painters spent dozens of days to complete is hanging on the wall of the Benitez Grand Theater. Now they are working hard to paint the giant poster of "Betal's Redemption".

Annan didn't pay a penny. Theater owner Honoratan Mays is a funny old guy. He didn't like Annan at first and resisted magical images, but then he became a loyal fan after watching "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", and "Betal's Redemption" made him exclaim that it was a real work of art. Now his relationship with Annan is better than that of many nobles.

However, "Betal's Redemption", which has no local elements and no big scenes, is obviously not as popular as "The Fall of the Mage Tower" in Breeze City. Only more than a hundred gold coins are received every day.

If there are no accidents, Breeze City and Betar City will bring in more than 10,000 gold coins in the next few months. Annan thinks it's still too few... These are just two cities. There are dozens of cities in the north, dozens of city-states in the Kingdom of Ruikan'er, and dozens of kingdoms and countless principalities in the Allen continent.

Annan couldn't help but think that if all the nobles gave one gold nard, he could raise the floating city tomorrow.

But the time to make a lot of money is not far away... With the arrival of spring, the sea water melts, and after the port and shipyard are built, Xingyue Bay can trade south along the coastline.

Annan asked a knight to go to the city lord's palace, asked Olmedo to investigate the orc tribe in Grogda, and ran to the mage tower.

"Teacher Yrilanze? It seems that he has been in the Mage Tower." Michael, who has been studying the gunpowder formula Annan left before going to Betar City these days, said.

"In the mage tower?" Annan was surprised.

"You don't think that the elf mentor followed you to Bethal City in pursuit of love, do you?"

Annan didn't say anything because that's what he thought. Pointing to Michael’s stubble: “How long has it been since you shaved?”

"I don't have time. I'm about to refine the gunpowder."

He didn't even have time to catch up with Annan and drove him out of the alchemy room.

The melee mage who liked to crack skulls with his staff became like this. Annan didn't know whether to feel guilty or relieved.

Annan asked about the elf mentor's room and came to the door hesitantly. A caustic warning is plastered on the oak door: Are you prepared to suffer the consequences of interrupting my research?

Annan, who was standing in front of the door, took a deep breath and tied the waistband of the mage's robe tightly: "I am Annan. Is Master Yirulanze here?"

The uneasy silence lasted for a few seconds, making Annan want to escape. The next moment, the door was pulled open and his black hair was messed up, and the falling shadow swallowed him up.

"Why is little Annan here? Could it be that he misses me!"

"Um."

Snapped--

Annan covered his mouth, but it was already too late.
