Chapter 88 87. Tasia’s letter
Annan doesn’t know what will happen to Teacher Yirelanze, but the punishment will not be too severe. It should be related to the grounding.
So in the next period of time, this elf mentor will not bother me anymore.
That's such a shame... Annan thought.
Annan couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the elf mentor. That kind of enthusiasm made him feel insecure - as if he would be eaten at any time.
"Dela?"
Annan stood alone on the street and called Dela first, but there was no response.
Isn’t it Dela who brought the elves?
"I'm here."
A soft female voice suddenly came from under the umbrella shed on the street. An aristocratic woman wearing a fluffy pleated skirt and long curly hair tied with a ribbon sat under an umbrella.
Annan could vaguely see the shadow of the shameless baron on that fair face painted with pearl powder.
"Why do you want to..."
Annan came under the umbrella canopy and hesitated to speak. Francois's dress turned out to be extremely sweet, which attracted many guests around him.
“My uncle told me that appearance is the most deceptive. He said that people will think that fat people are generous and approachable, while thin people are mean and cunning. Men make people stay on guard, and women make people put their guard down, so he always maintains 300 pounds. Her weight is doing deceitful things." Francois's calves wrapped in silk gauze were intertwined under the table, and the hand holding the spoon raised his little finger, "Who would suspect a lady wearing perfume and sitting on the street enjoying coffee. What? Humph~"
Only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname - this sentence also sounds like the truth.
"You can speak a little more normally."
Annan sat at Francois' table and looked at the guards passing by not far away. Will the elf guards take away the elf who wants a boy? Will the human guards take away the pervert who clings to the boy?
"Does this make you uncomfortable?" Francois said delicately, the long eyelashes on his delicate cheeks trembling slightly.
Annan wanted to say that it was nothing. The shameless baron dressed as a woman was much more pleasing to the eye than Francois, but Irilanze's experience was clear to his mind - resolute is not absolute, but absolutely not resolute.
“Yes, we are having important conversations.”
Annan's handsome face showed seriousness, which made Francois look more serious. He moved from a delicate feminine to a neutral voice, and his voice returned to a normal male voice: "Okay."
"Pfft—— "
A man sitting next to him sprayed out coffee and explained to the waiter who rushed over: "It's hot, it's very hot..."
Annan withdrew his gaze helplessly: "Let's talk in another place."
Francois took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, leaving a silver coin on the table.
"How much does coffee cost in Breeze City?" Annan asked casually as he stood up.
“50 copper coins.”
Annan stopped suddenly, picked up the silver coins on the table, called the waiter, and took back the 50 copper coins.
"Your Majesty, the King of the North, is really diligent and thrifty..."
Francois praised sincerely and reached out to hold Annan in his arms.
The unusually soft and hot hand reaches into the palm, as if connected to the heart, making the blood throb.
Just as he was about to break away, Annan found a tall figure in a cloak squeezed between him and Francois.
"Dela?"
"I'm following from a distance." said the female elf.
After experiencing the weirdness of Irelanze and Francois, Della's presence made Annan feel extremely at ease.
Francois wisely stayed away.
Annan did not find the carriage nearby, but it was not far from the manor.
"We were talking as we walked."
......
"You mean, there are the wine lady's men who have been staring at me?" Annan's sight in the manor study From the snowy mountains outside the window, we return to Francois, who is still wearing women's clothing.
"That's not quite accurate..." Francois corrected, "Strictly speaking, they are workers in the Winchet family industry."
The two statements have different meanings. , the former means that this matter has the shadow of the wine lady, and the latter... Annan can find anyone to arrange to join the Winchet family, and he is also a worker in the Winchet family industry.
"What else was found?"
"I followed them for a while..." Francois stopped here and looked at the corner of the study - where Della was leaning in front of the bookshelf. In the shadows.
"Dela will not betray me."
Francois wanted to say that Annan shouldn't trust others so much, but it was precisely because of this trust that he bowed before the young King of the North.
"They didn't show anything strange except staring at you. After leaving, just work normally, go home, rest..."
In Francois's description, this situation It's indescribably unsettling - it seems like the friendly neighbor I greet you with, feed the wild cats every day, is actually a notorious murderer.
“So I am going to go to the place where you were attacked.”
"The dwarf giant's lair?"
"I have already been there. It was the place where you were first attacked..."
叩叩叩——
The head maid Knock on the study door and say that the Lord of Breeze City is outside the manor.
Olmedo?
Annan and Francois looked at each other and asked the head maid to lead him in to the living room downstairs.
"There is a letter for you."
The same smile when the young city lord and the mage tower became a little dazzling.
Is this a demonstration? Or a warning?
Annan lowered his eyes slightly and saw that the letter was not signed by Osu Lund, but by Tasia.
He raised his head unexpectedly: "This letter comes from the Snow Mountain Fortress?"
"The soldiers brought it back from above after transporting supplies." Olmedo smiled gently.
Annan opened the envelope. In the letter, Tasia said that everything was fine. She participated in a defensive battle and killed a demon with her own hands.
Then Annan poured out a piece of devil's iron from the letter - after the devil burns it, it will condense into regular crystals that resemble snowflakes and are called devil's iron.
“The next time to send supplies to the fortress is before the autumn harvest. If you have a letter you want to send to a friend, send it directly to the city lord’s palace.”
"Thank you." Annan thanked him sincerely, but then asked: "Are you here just to deliver this letter?"
Olmedo looked at Francois and said: "That badge It will be useful."
"You were the scavenger who gave me the badge...?"
"I have been investigating and I can confirm that it was not me or my father who attacked the convoy." Olmedo told his true purpose, "The Twelve Kings of the North are the foundation of the entire Northern Territory. One day they exist, it means that the North Territory south of the Snow Mountains is stable. The Olmedo family will not destroy this order. Therefore. Ever since you were attacked by a hyena, I suspected that it was the Rat Man."
"Have you found anything?"
"Pulang'enci County is plagued by rats everywhere, and the frequency is dozens of times higher than before..."
"Where did those rat people come from?" Annan asked confused.
Olmedo said that every rat can be blessed by the Rat God to become a Rat Man, which will consume a lot of the Rat God's power - for this reason, frequent rat infestations mean the Rat Man's conspiracy .
The bitter cold land has become a barrier to the north. Here, the rat people do not have the terrible and continuous disasters in the south. As soon as winter comes, the Skaven will die in droves.
So their conspiracy will definitely appear before winter comes.
