Chapter 151 5. The Last Party
In the orange dusk, Annan slowly woke up.
The figure sitting behind the desk raised his eyes, his long blond hair dyed orange: "Do you want to sleep for a while longer?"
"How long have I slept...?"
Annan looked at the broken clouds outside the window, and his still-awakening head couldn't tell whether it was early morning or dusk.
"It's less than three hours."
Annan followed Olmedo's instructions and looked at the clock in the corner, "I am preparing to report the rat attack to the capital, and I will make my own decision for you regarding the reward. I want gold coins.”
Longing on the sofa, Annan lost his sleep: “How much?”
“It should be a box of gold coins.”
About a thousand gold coins. . But Annan thought of something warily: "Are gold coins the most valuable currency?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's just a relationship like copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. Will there be crystal coins, gem coins, or other currencies with higher value?"
Annan doesn't want it. The hard-earned money turned into a pile of cheap metal in the blink of an eye...
"No. Kinnaur is the most valuable currency, certified by the goddess of wealth." Olmedo watched Annan lift the blanket, "You can rest for two more hours."
"I'm going to visit Martin...how is he doing?"
The young city lord sighed indifferently: "I haven't seen him for a while. The servant said he is still the same."
This is Martin's advantage, he never causes trouble.
"I'm going to take him back."
"That's good."
Assigned Olmedo to recruit five hundred refugees first, Annan continued to be busy with official duties Olmedo said goodbye and walked out. When he was about to leave the city lord's palace, he met Michael who came to see him. He also met a fanatical fan - he complained that he watched "The Fall of the Master's Tower" during the day and listened to the choir singing at night. My heart is eternal, and I can count how many steps there are from the hall of the Mage Tower to the second floor, how many freckles there are on Ruth’s cheeks, and what size Jack’s clothes are——
Michael testified for him: The rich man's son bought five Philosopher's Stones, which means that he has watched "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" more than 40 times in the week since it was released.
Annan thought he wanted to sign or get close to him, but the rich son said he didn't want those, because familiarity would make the beauty disappear. He just didn't want to buy magic stones every day.
"But an eternal magic stone costs 1,000 gold coins..."
"No problem!"
Annan hurriedly agreed before he could say the price. There is no way to raise the price any more, so I can only express my gratitude to the loyal audience by saying that I will deliver the magic stone tomorrow.
Michael lamented that this was simply a money grab.
Robbing money? It's not as fast as grabbing money to take magical images.
Annan and Michael then went to Martin's residence.
"Cousin, why are you here."
Martin standing in front of him was fatter than the last time he saw him.
"I'll take you back."
"Not yet!" Martin lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I collected evidence that Augusta colluded with the Rat People..."
Annan's side Surprised that Martin could name Augusta, and surprised that he could actually find evidence.
"Where is the evidence?"
"I heard people outside saying that Augusta National colluded with the Rats..."
Annan and Michael looked at each other, and Annan had no choice but to tell Martin that Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin were already on their way to Breeze City, and asked him to follow them back obediently.
"We took away the gem sword and clothes." Annan said to the butler who couldn't restrain his joy. As the carriage drove out of the manor, Martin couldn't wait to shout: "I'm going to the pub!"
"You can't drink yet."
"I think Martin meant to Go to the Morrowind Tavern and show off your skills," Michael said.
Annan did not refuse, and it just so happened that he came back to visit these friends this time.
Arriving at the street outside the Morrowind Tavern, Annan and Michael put on wizard robes and hoods respectively. This kind of dress is not uncommon in taverns. After entering the tavern, many people observing them did not look at Martin.
"Have you heard...the rat men are going to invade Breeze City..."
The discussion in the corner attracted Annan's attention.
“Is it too late for me to learn Skaven?”
"As long as the Mage Tower is there, the rat people can't get in..."
"It sounds like something is going to happen to the Mage Tower soon."
"Don't you know yet? The Mage Tower has been It collapsed... People everywhere on the street are saying..."
Ignoring the two drunken men, Annan and the others came to the second floor.
"Our King of the World has returned from his territory? Thanks to you, the tavern business is getting better and better." Andrew Luna greeted Annan cordially, and then looked at Martin, "We My good friend is back too? Oh, you’ve gained a lot of weight..."
Then Martin couldn't wait to brag about his spying on the Olmedo family, but it was overshadowed by Annan's achievements: "I personally killed five vicious ratmen at that time."
Michael Mo He touched the calluses next to his ears.
Because Annan will return to the territory soon, Andrew Luna proposed to hold a dinner party.
“Forget about the dinner... let’s have a party.” Annan said.
Annan returned to the manor first, while Michael and Andrew Luna went to call the wine lady and Olmedo.
As night fell, everyone started a relaxed party in the manor hall.
The ogres, orcs and Soruman Bronzebeard were playing cards nearby, while Michael, Olmedo and the others were talking about the profits from "The Fall of the Mage Tower".
Francois said that it will exceed 10,000 gold coins in a few days. One city has 10,000 gold coins, and several cities have tens of thousands of gold coins...
Michael said that he was too optimistic. In the past two days, forged record magic stones have appeared, selling them to those who want to collect them but cannot afford them. A genuine magic stone priced at 100 gold coins.
Like a Susan Spinning Machine.
The spinning machine factory in Annan currently only produces about two to three hundred Susan spinning machines, but there are at least two to three thousand "Susan spinning machines" in the entire north and parts of the south.
Compared to the Susan spinning machine, cotton whose price has increased five or six times has brought more benefits.
In order to get ahead of piracy, Annan entrusted Ms. Wine to use the Winchet family’s sales channels to promote Breeze City, but it was difficult to replicate the miracle of Breeze City.
Their conversation gradually shifted from magical images to the siege of the city by the rat tide. It was a bit heavy at first, but then a cheerful atmosphere filled the living room after Annan talked about his underground experience.
"It's been two minutes since I heard the story about Annan killing the Rat Man." Michael said deliberately teasingly.
"You asked me how many ratmen I killed? I can't remember clearly. Do you remember how many glasses of wine you had?"
"I didn't ask you."
By the way, they Speaking of the corpse in the dungeon - it was an elite spellcaster three hundred years ago.
Late at night, Soruman Bronzebeard and the Ogres had a fierce card night. Annan and Michael stayed away from the noisy mansion and came to the Mage Tower. Annan found the epic spellcaster and politely Bringing up the need for an eternal magic stone,
Then, Annan asked the golem following him to put down the wooden box:
"Here are 500 gold coins as a thank you gift for you."
