A strange world

Chapter 317 Chapter 170. Missing

"My necklace is worth 20 gold, where's yours!"

"I...my anklet should have 7 gold..."

"My father bought my sapphire tiara for 30 gold coins!"

While the girls were still collecting money frantically because of the words "sister", Annan was standing at the table, and another girl came to him. Annan sighed thinking it was a new guest and put down his cup, only to find that it was Mr. Swaro. Baby girl.

"How did you come?"

"You don't welcome me?" Alice's smile was exactly the same as Swaro's.

"Just an accident."

Alice was not on the invitation list because Annan wanted to maintain a friendship rather than a financial relationship with Mr. Swallow——

"I heard that you need money." Alice handed a box of wooden boxes to Annan, "This is what I have saved over the years."

"...I can't have it."

"If you are really grateful to me, don't let Ruth down." Alice, who deliberately laughed at Annan's previous actions, pushed the wooden box to Annan, "Take it, my father will not come back."

"Thanks."

Annan's sincere thanks made Alice touch the goosebumps on her arms, waved her hand and turned around to leave. Watching Alice's back disappear outside the banquet door, Annan's eyes fell on the shy girl who was pushed out by her friends and nudged this way.

But that's 120 gold coins... Giving 120 gold coins to Ilimoyas can even make it wear a maid outfit.

Annan reached for the juice on the table, but found nothing.

Where is his cup?

…

"He is the one who... ruined the Saint Clan's plan and brought shame to us..."

In the dark hall under the ground, which exudes a fluorescent green shimmer, several illusory silhouettes of hatred kneel in front of the altar that echoes with whispers.

"We have captured him, and now we are going to impose the most vicious curse on him..."

"Isn't that too cheap for him?" A human silhouette uttered a melodious female voice that sounded familiar. The swaying tail was different from the disgusting hairless baldness of the rat man, but as slender and slender as a succubus. "Elder, we should arrest him." Live with him, tell him that the Saints are coming back, and let him die in boundless pain and regret."

"According to what you said, then it's up to you to lead him out..."

"Okay, elder."

The human silhouette looked up, and if Annan were here, he would recognize her as the Countess... or Maria.

…

"Elvie, right? You dance very well..."

Letting go of the shy girl, Annan returned to Francois.

“How many did we sell?”

"Eighteen, 16 of them danced with you."

Annan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, it was all worth it.

"There should be no guests who want to dance with you. Do you want to hear from anyone who might be interested in sponsoring?"

"Tell me about it."

"The one with the greatest interest is Becker."

"From the Lolonia family? I remember that their family's main business is...slave trading?"

"Yes, the Lolonia family is the largest slave trader in Breeze City."

"Give up. We can't let "Xingyue Bay News" be stained, but if the price is right, I can buy the slave from him."

"I'll talk to him later. Then there's Heymans Shepard, he's in the leather business..."

"It also includes the skins of foreign races, right?"

"Yes... I can't understand the person who skins the elves, nor the buyer. The third one is..."

Francois made a few more choices, and finally chose the weapons dealer Granda family.

Annan also had a brief encounter with the Glenda family: the weapons shop where he bought Martin the unopened iron sword was the property of the Glenda family - they cooperated with the scavengers and were trustworthy.

Next, Francois witnessed an amazing promotion: After meeting the patriarch of the Granda family, Annan said: "The audience of "Xingyue Bay News" coincides with the customers of the Granda family. People who care about news Who are they? Most of them are professionals. They can afford magic newspapers, and of course they can also afford weapons. Xingyue Bay sells more than 50,000 copies per issue, and only 5% of these people are interested in your weapons. Hundreds of people……

The patriarch of the Glenda family hesitated, then he continued: "The important thing is not this, but that the readers will remember the advertisement. When he needs a weapon, the first one will think of you and the weapons of the Glenda family. .I think you should know that the Skaven have already entered the northern lands...

"I want to think about it again..."

"Do you know the Wine Lady? Do you know how much the sales of her and her red wine increased after they were featured in the "Xingyue Bay News"? Ten times! Everyone in the entire Planang'enci County knows about the Wine Lady's wine. , and the price is only 100 gold coins per issue..."

"You convinced me. Take my money!"

"Don't worry, it will definitely be worth your money."

Annan saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. After saying sorry to the head of the Glenda family, Annan faced Olmedo.

"Why are you here too?"

"Is anyone else here?" Olmedo looked around and asked, "How is it?"

"I should have made more than two thousand gold nuggets."

Olmedo was frightened: "Just a party? You are simply robbing money."

"You can't say that." Annan shook his head, "This is much faster than robbing money."

"But you don't look happy?" Olmedo suddenly remembered the anecdotes circulating in Breeze City: "Because of the curse of 'The King of the North is the party buster'?"

Annan nodded solemnly: "Your father is also one of the culprits."

"...Why do you always mention my father?"

"I'm doing an experiment." Annan apologized: "Augusta is an epic. It is said that some powerful epics also have the authority to perceive their true names. I often mention him to you, and maybe his soul will know everything about you. all good."

Olmedo's sadness flashed away: "So I should express my gratitude to you?"

"You're welcome."

At this time, Francois came over: "I'm sorry to disturb you, but there is a guest who wants to be alone with Annan."

"I only accept dancing." Annan frowned and said.

"But she bought five magic stones at once..."

"lead the way."

Annan followed Francois to the next door to the banquet hall and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A gentle female voice came from the door.

Annan asked Francois not to go away, opened the door and entered the room.

He first saw a beautiful back, then the door closed, and Annan suddenly lost control of his body.

Annan, who remained awake, allowed two silhouettes in gray robes to come out of nowhere and carry him into the hole in the corner of the room. As the surroundings deepened, his heart sank. Only rat people would eat holes in the ground...

After about a few minutes, Annan was carried to the altar in a dark hall and regained control of his body. He raised his head and first saw a pair of familiar pale and bright eyes...

"Countess?"

"Recognize it? I'm here to take revenge on you." Before Maria could say her declaration, Annan's whisper made her stunned.

"I miss you……"
