Chapter 73 72. Reputation
“A hundred years ago in the Principality of Keating, there was a knight who was seeking the position of minister. At that time, his powerful rival suddenly forcibly kissed Fei, who was the mayor of the city at the time, while speaking in public. Mr. Ya, this became a sensational scandal at the time. The knight accused his rival of being corrupted by Chaos and was immersed in the illusion of pleasure. "
Twin Minister Flanning. Telling the story of his hometown:
"Then I asked him, how do you know? Maybe Chaos has eaten away Sir's brain. He explained in great detail the symptoms of being corrupted by Chaos."
"At my suggestion, the Archduke asked the poor guy who had lost the opportunity to get checked out, and found that he had just drank too much absinthe and was dominated by hallucinations. The one who was truly corrupted by Chaos was the one who detailed the symptoms of Chaos. ”
Franning spread his palms:
"When a politician wants to frame another politician, he usually picks something he has done to frame him."
So letting an assassin serve as a bodyguard sounds like It's strange, but actually very suitable - because only assassins know how to assassinate a person -
This reminded Annan of a similar situation on earth. The princes and nobles buried their tombs by looking for Feng Shui treasures, while the tomb robbers buried their tombs by looking for Feng Shui treasures. Find the tombs of princes and nobles in a geomantic treasure land——
The wine lady who accompanied Annan to visit Flanning also said: "It is a tradition to let assassins become bodyguards. Is it possible to expect a guardian mage?"
The thin Froning, who stood upright, laughed heartily, and the wine lady's teasing came from an allusion.
There was such a joke in the royal capital of Ruikaner: an elite mage was ordered to protect a noble. Because the commission was rich, the mage used many methods, such as round-the-clock protection Shield spell, iron armor spell, and even advanced malicious detection that can only be performed by epic spellcasters, but in the end the person she wanted to protect died in the bathtub.
Later, the noble's family members investigated and found that the truth was very simple - the wine the noble drank that day was mixed with a beneficial potion that made people "excited", thus evading advanced malicious detection. Then when this blood-soaked nobleman routinely soaked in hot springs with a somewhat high temperature every night, his head could not support the pressure...
After spending a relatively pleasant morning, Annan and the wine lady Getting ready to leave the official residence where Froning was staying.
“I am the first stop, right? Where is the second stop?”
As one of the twin ministers in the principality after the Grand Duke, Franning could easily see Annan's plan.
The more people know about Annan, the safer Annan will be in Breeze City. For the sake of 50 spinning machines, he didn't mind this small use.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, do you have any suggestions?” Annan is good at making requests that are not excessive when others show goodwill.
Froning did give a suggestion: "The famous repertory company Swan Dance Company, which is touring in Rekaner, came to Breeze a few days ago, so the theater is full these days."
" Thanks for your help.”
"It's okay. After all, Jonah was very cute when he was young..."
Annan guessed that the "Jonah" he was talking about was an ancestor of the Reeves family.
Coming out of the official residence and getting on the carriage, Annan asked the wine lady sitting opposite with her slender legs folded: "Your Excellency Flanning seems to be very old?"
"The Principality of Keating Bordering the Sunset Mountains, before the world war started thousands of years ago, the elves there had coexisted with humans for a long time. So Mr. Franning has part of the elven blood."
"So he is over a hundred years old now? ”
"I just celebrated my 350th birthday a while ago." Ms. Wine's gaze returned to Annan from the mansion passing by the window. "Then where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the theater first." Annan said.
The wine lady’s lazy chuckle was tinged with a hint of hoarseness: “It seems that our sweetheart has already decided where to go after coming out of the theater.”
Printed with the Winchet family emblem The carriage drove to the theater, and Annan had indeed thought about where to go next - the library.
This may offend Mr. Victor, but the library in Breeze City is not comparable to a "bookstore" like Pinglin Town, and the people who go to the library are not ordinary people.
It's just that visitors looking for peace and quiet may not be too welcoming to Annan.
In front of the Benitez Grand Theater, the boss who was notified in advance warmly welcomed Annan with a strange ceremony: "Your arrival makes the Benitez Grand Theater shine." "You must be First time here? I promise you won't be disappointed."
"Actually, I've been here a few days ago," Annan said honestly.
The boss asked in surprise when, Annan thought for a while: "Just five or six days ago."
"Then have you seen the Swan Dance Company's performance?"
"No..."
Because at that time I was selling food to people in line at the theater.
The theater owner said that now is the time and invited Annan to enter the theater, sit in the VIP seat, and watch the performance of the Swan Dance Troupe.
The red curtain slowly opened, and Annan was amazed by the graceful dance and the flexible postures that no dancer on earth could do. Then after the performance, Annan went backstage to get up close and personal with the Swan Dance Troupe.
If there were newspapers in this world, tomorrow's newspaper would definitely publish: The King of the North received the Swan Dance Troupe at the Benitez Grand Theater.
Newspaper...
So Annan ignored the excited and expectant swan girls because of his thoughts.
“Do you believe what the boss said?”
After sitting in the carriage, Annan came back to his senses and found that the mood of the wine lady had changed.
"What?"
The wine lady said that the boss's etiquette when welcoming Annan was an ancient etiquette from hundreds of years ago. This illustrates two things: this boss knows the etiquette of ancient families, and it is very likely that a certain family is behind him.
Or remind Annan Theater to have extraordinary origins and don’t try to take advantage of them.
At that time, Annan's mind was filled with the beautiful dance moves of the Swan Dance Troupe and newspapers, and he didn't pay any attention to what the wine lady said - even if he paid attention, he wouldn't understand.
Then we went to the library and the wine lady was getting ready to leave.
"Aren't you coming with me?"
"Although I am happy to be with you, I have important things to do." The wine lady stepped onto the carriage that picked her up and waved to Annan, "Dara I will protect you, sweetheart.”
In the quiet car, Annan’s eyes fell on Della.
This elf guard is taciturn, like the shadow of Annan.
The next plan had some surprises - today is the library's closing day. It was almost evening when Annan drove back to the manor.
After dinner, Annan returned to the bedroom and asked Dara curiously: "Do you need to rest?"
"I'm next door."
After Dara left, Annan arranged a meditation ceremony and began Meditation tonight.
In the next bedroom separated by a wall, Della took off her elf leather armor, and her bald tail wrapped around her slender waist was instantly covered by the bed.
