Chapter 25 25. Misunderstanding
Annan’s life returned to a peaceful routine.
Tasia's situation has stagnated before it was irreversible. The income of five to six silver coins per week also allows Annan to absorb knowledge with peace of mind, no longer worrying about money, and no longer having to sacrifice appearance——
"It's useless for you to say that. Don't even think about taking off these clothes."
Fast rejected Annan's request to take off his drama clothes without thinking.
Although the women's enthusiasm and cheers made Fast feel noisy, Annan's daily restraint and embarrassment allowed him to continue to persevere - never underestimate the tenacity of a soldier.
Never underestimate a cheapskate.
Annan could not object, after all, he still owed Soruman Bronzebeard 50 silver coins. It's just that when a woman about the same size as Aunt Susan took the wine glass and touched her arm, she felt a little regretful.
For example, we should continue to exploit the bad foreman and owe Soruman Bronzebeard 70 silver coins instead of paying her back 20 silver coins first.
Being a mage apprentice can be exchanged for many conveniences and status. Although Annan had to worry about the inflated money at that time, at least he no longer had to sell his appearance for dozens of silver coins.
In the underground wine cellar, Soruman Bronzebeard used her forging hammer to knock off Tasia's shackles. The dwarves couldn't do delicate work other than forging and brewing, so Annan helped Tasia clean and bandage.
Fast threw in the medical kit, which contained some bandages and medicines to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.
Cleaning the rotten wound, the tauren's endurance kept Tasia from making any sound, and his resilience allowed her to recover in a few days.
"Tasia has tauren blood, can she become a warlock?"
Annan's rough understanding of warlocks is: blood warlocks are the power of one race to possess the blood of another race. . But he asked the wrong person, and no one present could answer.
They then discussed Tasia's whereabouts, and Soruman Bronzebeard suggested that she stay in the tavern as he needed help in his cellar.
Tasia hadn’t decided yet, so Annan agreed for her temporarily. Tasia needed time to rest and time to get used to taking charge of her own life.
Dong dong dong——
At this time, the cellar door of the wine cellar opened, and Martin’s voice came from above:
“Cousin! I’m too busy. ! ”
"I'll come right over!"
In response, Annan gave Tasia a few words to return to the top.
The hustle and bustle rushed towards us, and Annan's return caused the women to scream.
The bard was a little excited tonight, and even grabbed the lute and played and sang for "The Law Breaks the Sky":
"Sean crossed the city of Ultan and came to the Warcraft Mountains. Crossed the Warcraft Mountains and arrived at Roland College——"
The melody is simple and cheerful, setting off the excitement flowing in the tavern.
Annan didn't know what the bard was happy about, but Mr. Fast came up to answer the question:
"He has been promoted."
Annan read it from the book Unfortunately, as an auxiliary profession, bards cannot learn combat skills and spells like combat professions. Like priests, they believe in their own gods. They grow up by singing stories and can perform magic and divine spells, usually with encouragement, Mainly additional strength.
“He can use magic now?”
"It's just a trick."
So Annan pestered the bard to ask him to perform a trick, but he refused on the grounds that "I haven't learned how to cast a trick yet."
Late at night, the pub is closed.
Annan did not leave immediately, but first came to the wine cellar to visit Tasia.
It has only been a few hours, so of course nothing can be seen. Tasia is helping Soruman Bronzebeard carry the barrels of wine.
"You have the blood of a tauren, so you must be as tough as a tauren."
Soloman Bronzebeard followed Tasia who was carrying the wine barrel like an instructor, and for the first time went to Annan. greet.
This has never happened before.
When the female dwarf wanted to say something, Fast came down from the steps: "Aren't you going back yet?"
"Let me see Tasia."
< br>
Annan checked her wound and found that it did not worsen, then said goodbye to them and went home with Martin.
“Why don’t you tell him?” Soruman Bronzebeard, puzzled, Fast interrupted himself, “I’m sure he’s not one of those pedantic nobles.” “What’s the use of telling him? Let someone know the origin. An unknown boy joins an organization that disappears?"
Fast stood on the edge of the halo of the oil lamp, unable to see his face clearly, "I know you saw a good kid, but It's all over... Our faith has long since ceased to exist."
Soruman Bronzebeard muttered reluctantly: "Maybe he guessed it."
...
The next morning, Martin's 10-copper-coin bonus and Annan's 10-copper-coin salary were exchanged for a sumptuous breakfast. Annan came to the library holding freshly baked soft bread.
Not long after, the old man with never wrinkled clothes appeared on the street on time with a cane.
"Solved?"
"Solved."
Annan took the key and opened the door, and found Mr. Victor staring at the fragrant bag containing bread.
"Mr. Victor, do you want to eat something?"
What answered him was the figure of Victor walking by.
Annan put the bread on the table nonchalantly, opened the window for ventilation and cleaned up first.
Few people came to the library during this time in the morning. Annan took advantage of the break to finish breakfast. After washing, he dried it with a handkerchief. After confirming that there was no trace of grease, he picked up "The Wizard Turns Left and the Warlock Turns Right" and turned it over. Go to the bookmarked page.
Thumb-thump--
Annan raised his head and saw Mr. Victor tapping the bookshelf with his cane,
"Have you washed it?"
"Cleaned it? " Annan raised his palm and said.
Then Victor pointed with his stick at the dust scattered in the sun.
"You didn't clean up the dust."
"Uh..."
The stubborn old man was more irrational than usual today. Annan said tentatively: "I will ask Aunt Susan to make more bread tomorrow...?"
Mr. Victor did not come to him for "trouble" again.
Annan, who comforted the old man, continued to have no burden for another day.
"You seem to be in a good mood."
Little Winchet is also here today.
"Yes." Annan was eager to share his joy with others: "I helped a person in need."
That gentle and warm smile made little Winchet stunned, and began Examine whether you have too much prejudice against Annan.
She is a person with strong actions - it can be seen from the fact that she failed to apply for the administrator but came to the library every day. So that afternoon, after the library closed, little Winchet took a carriage to the tavern.
The noise and smell of alcohol in the tavern made her feel a little uncomfortable, but what made her frown deeply was Annan, who was dressed in fancy clothes and greeted the women skillfully.
"Little Winchet?" Annan was a little surprised when he saw the girl at the door, "Why are you here."
The girl stared deeply at Annan and reiterated the warning she gave in the tavern that day. : "Aunt Margaery was deceived by you, but I will not...I will never allow Aunt Margaery to bring you into the Winchet family."
Zhi——
The lute ended with a screeching noise.
Danglang——
The empty wine glass, which even the elite warrior could not hold, fell to the floor.
