Chapter 166 20. The daily life of the Reeves family
The eldest sister Itilia is gentle and quiet, and the second sister Layla is cheerful and playful. They form the most important part of the concept of family-emotion. Annan was immersed in this warmth, but in the end, everything disappeared into the biting cold that penetrated his soul.
Like the gasp of a drowning person coming ashore, Annan woke up from his deep sleep with a deep breath.
The wind and snow poured in unchecked through the open windows, robbing the room of warmth, and the fireplace flame that had been burning all night flickered and was about to go out.
Annan was very cold when he woke up from the cold, but Leila standing by the window should be colder than herself, so she wrapped herself in a quilt and continued to endure. But Leila, whose skin was red due to the cold wind, still made him soften a little:
"Aren't you cold?"
"No!"
Even if she turns into an ice sculpture and breaks into ice powder, there will still be a mouth left. Layla closed the window and walked toward her fiercely. bed.
“What are you going to do?”
Having an ominous premonition, Annan clenched the quilt tightly, but Layla, who was as cold as ice, opened it and threw herself forward.
"Help!"
......
The two people came to the restaurant with their shoulders hunched and trembling.
“Good morning.”
Itilia showed a gentle smile.
"Good morning, eldest sister."
Annan sat down in her seat, took a few sips of vegetable soup to warm her body, and then retaliated against Leila for her early morning behavior: "I want to file a complaint, Leila said she The calligraphy practice notes have not been finished.”
“Little Annan, you have gone bad!” The vegetable soup came out of Leila’s lips, “I never said that!” I didn’t say it, but I guess her notes were not finished.”
“I’ll practice calligraphy after breakfast.”
Layla did not dare to disobey Itilia, and her black eyes stared at Annan with hatred: "It's over."
"She threatened me!"
"I will threaten you!"
Itilia watched helplessly as the two of them started quarreling at the dining table, but the smile on her lips never dissipated.
After breakfast, Annan patted the torn and wrinkled mage robe and went to the bathroom to visit the water element.
After being replenished in the bathroom, a place with abundant water sources, the body shape consumed by the large water element has returned to its original appearance. Annan held up the wooden sign engraved with "Agree" and "Reject" and let him choose.
But "choice" for the water element without wisdom is like letting it release the fireball spell - Annan had no choice but to order the water element to choose and agree.
The flowing illusory palm touches the "Agree" wooden sign, and Annan can start his elemental army plan.
It was just that the plan was not very lucky at the beginning... A storm-like wind element emerged from the summoning array.
In the future, it may be possible to form an army of wind elements and an army of fire elements. With this thought, Annan allowed the wind elements to play on the snow-covered plains outside the castle and establish a good relationship with the wind elements in advance. Then lead the water element to find Blom.
Blom and his knights settled in the area where the guards used to live. When Annan came over, he was watching "The Fall of the Mage Tower"...
Annan in the magic image was dressed up to attend the banquet, and Annan was sitting on Blom Next to Mu, he asked:
"Mr. Blom, as the twelve kings of the north, why does the Reeves family only govern one town and a few villages?"
Gema The Diatra family behind them is the local leader of Bethal City, and its status far exceeds that of the Olmedo family in Breeze City.
Blom said that the Reeves family was already in decline, and the attack on the convoy going to Breeze City for a post wiped out the remaining strength of the Reeves family, so that the news spread back to the Osulund Territory, and the people in the territory were in turmoil. , not even able to stop the servant from escaping...
So the Reeves and Olmedo families should have been mortal enemies, even though Augusta had been corrupted by then.
“As for the decline of the Reeves family, do you want to hear the real reason or the false one?”
“Let’s talk about the false first.”
“The false reason is, The decline and prosperity of the family only depends on the heir. If the young master fails to live up to his expectations, the Olmedo family will not escape the fate of decline after the master's death."
"What is the real reason?"
< br>
"The twelve kings in the north who are not threatening are the good kings in the north." The kingdom is full of conspiracies and struggles, and families are fighting each other. However, regardless of the royal family or the nobles, it is their consensus to weaken the twelve kings in the north.
The Twelve Kings of the North do not need to be strong, it is enough for them to retain their legendary heritage and "protect the North".
The brooding Annan entrusted Blom with something: "You have seen the current situation of the castle. I need you to help the family train some guards."
"Follow your instructions."
Annan then used low-level summoning to contact Breeze City and asked them to send a thousand gold coins, collect medium-level elemental summoning magic rings, get some books recording the habits of elemental creatures, and summon some carpenters.
The magic ring summoned by the higher elements cannot be bought by Annan, and the giant elements have intelligence, making it difficult for them to obey orders like the low-level water elements.
After taking the water element to relax, Annan took it back to the bathroom and back to the bedroom. When he closed the door, Annan was startled by Leila hiding behind the door.
She moved her wrist and approached Annan.
Annan has been beaten many times by Layla these days, and has new insights into why there are so many weapons in Levi's bedroom.
"I am the King of the North!"
"I am the sister of the King of the North!"
Leila said, throwing Annan down and wrestling together. After teaching Annan a lesson, Leila stretched out her hand and pulled Annan up:
"Where is the magic stone? I want to send it to eldest sister."
Annan straightened his collar and motioned to put it in the drawer for Lei. After opening the drawer, La said: "It can still be used eight times. Remember to burn it again after watching eight times."
"I will talk to eldest sister."
Leila picked up the magic stone and brought a piece of drawing paper down with it.
Annan knelt down to pick it up and slapped away Leila's outstretched hand.
Leila gathered up her skirt and squatted next to Annan: "What is this?"
On the drawing was a seat with wheels.
"The wheelchair allows the eldest sister to move around without being held by anyone."
When Annan saw Itilia in the castle, she would always sit quietly on a fixed seat.
“Our little Annan has grown up.”
Laila patted Annan on the head happily and stopped disturbing Annan.
Taking some time to complete the final idea, Annan released the low-level summoning spell and handed the drawings to the prepared craftsmen, and then went out to visit Itilia easily.
Knock knock knock——
Annan knocked on the door. The maid opened the door and was a little surprised to see Itilia sitting in front of the terrace window.
"I thought you were watching "The Fall of the Mage Tower"."
"What "The Fall of the Mage Tower"?"
Annan narrowed his black eyes, seeming to realize something .
"Sister, where is Leila?"
"I just saw her running back to the room."
"I'll go find her first..."
Annan came straight here Going outside Layla's bedroom, she pushed open the door from which there was a faint conversation of "You jump, I'll jump too"——
Laila turned her head in panic as she held her chin up and looked at the magical image.
"Why didn't you knock on the door!"
"Because if you knocked on the door, you wouldn't know that Layla Reeves was actually peeking at her brother."
Laila blushed: "What does my liking of Jack have to do with you Annan!"
