Chapter 212 65. Trivia in Breeze City
“That’s fine, the secret is of little use to us, and holding it by force will attract the covetousness of other forces.”
“You know What is the secret?" Annan asked Fast.
“I don’t know.”
Fast, who ran the tavern, yawned and wanted to go back to sleep.
Fast's words aroused the agreement of the dwarf and Ingrid. Compared with the secret treasures that all parties compete for, stability is the wealth of Xingyue Bay.
Lona, who had placed the children in the mansion, came back and suggested that Annan find someone to take care of the children, but she found that Annan was staring out the window and seemed not to be listening.
“What are you looking at?”
“There is your silhouette outside the window.” Annan blurted out after returning to his senses, “Because I dare not look directly at your beauty.”
The house suddenly became quiet, and Lorna's eyebrows rose.
"You...I can't think of...evil..." It was a conflicting emotion of surprise and disgust, which finally turned into an emotion that made her feel sick, and she rushed out.
Evelin covered her mouth in surprise and excitement: "Are you in Betar City..."
"No!"
"I misjudged you. "But Bronzebeard just wanted to make fun of Annan, "Jack, I thought you and Ruth were a couple."
"I've always said something out of the blue recently..." Annan said helplessly.
At first, he mistakenly thought it was an infection from a female warrior, and because he asked Blue Dragon to come to Xingyue Bay, Annan didn't take it to heart. But it is obviously not a coincidence that it still pops up unconsciously now. Fortunately, I just told Lorna, if she blurted it out with the elf mentor... Annan couldn't even think about what would happen.
“When did it start?”
“Back from the Haunted Gold Mine.”
“I suggest you go to the Church of Fortune to see if you are cursed.”
Annan thought about it. He came back in a hurry and had not had time to promote "Betal's Redemption" in Breeze City and find the elf mentor.
Not knowing where the elf mentor was, Annan had trouble sleeping and eating.
"Have we done anything recently in the south?" Annan asked about Gema's current situation.
“They’ve been breaking ice all day long.”
The port of Glacier Harbor is being built slowly. If you break a thousand pounds of ice today, 990 pounds will be frozen tomorrow, but Still faster than Xingyue Bay which did nothing.
Annan also knew the details of Gema's sneak into Xingyue Bay that day, such as watching a game of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", inexplicably breaking into the mansion and knocking out an old woman, and running to the toilet and being frightened by the water element. run.
Those who knew it thought it was Gema, but those who didn’t know thought it was a wild cat that broke into Xingyue Bay.
Annan felt that Gema had a reason for doing this: "Check the mansions and toilets she went to."
"Her?"
"Second sister Leila told My, Gema is a girl.”
Before it was evening, Annan asked Ingrid to prepare the carriage. Then I wandered around Xingyue Bay with Evelin.
He saw Howler and the old orc sitting on a bench by the shore: "Do you know Grogda?"
"That swamp?"
"That's it, I The tribe..."
"The last time I went there was more than ten years ago, and I don't know any more than you, kid..."
Annan walked along the coastal street to the other side, Until the wind couldn't carry away the whispers of the two orcs, sitting on the bench. As the busy work ended, there were more pedestrians on the street. They saw "Jack" and "Ruth" sitting on the bench. They lowered their voices with some relief and took a detour so as not to disturb their lord and the tavern. flower.
“Aren’t you going to the tavern to help Mr. Fast?” Annan asked Evelin, who was still following him.
“Stay with you for a while, it’s very relaxing to be around you.” Evelin could now say it calmly that would have made her blush before.
The sunset is setting on the sea, and the ice reflects the afterglow, bringing with it a special sense of beauty.
After preparing the carriage, Annan returned to the house and told Ingrid the arrangements for his two days away: "The children I brought back, Joan, West and Claudia. Joan Ann and West have the potential to be businessmen, and Claudia is a warlock. I gave him half of my meditation materials.”
The knight captain led the team and the carriage drove out of Xingyue Bay.
The smooth road soon gave way to uneven frozen soil. The last light disappeared in the west, and the forest lay dormant in darkness.
On the morning of the third day of departure, Annan returned to his loyal Breeze City.
Passers and professionals gathered around the carriage. Annan waved to them and arrived at the Benitez Theater first.
The 20-foot-tall giant poster of "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", which took countless painters dozens of days to complete, is hanging on the wall of the Benitez Grand Theater. Now they are rushing to paint "Betal's Redemption" 》 giant poster.
Annan didn't pay a penny. Theater owner Honoratan Mays is a funny old guy. He didn't like Annan at first and resisted magical images, but then he became a loyal fan after watching "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", and "Betal's Redemption" made him exclaim that it was a real work of art. Now his relationship with Annan is better than that of many nobles.
"Betal's Redemption", which has no local elements and no big scenes, is obviously not as popular as "The Fall of the Mage Tower" in Breeze City, with only more than a hundred gold coins coming in every day.
If there are no accidents, Breeze City and Betar City will bring in more than 10,000 gold coins in the next few months. Annan thinks it's still too few... These are just two cities. There are dozens of cities in the north, dozens of city-states in the Kingdom of Ruikan'er, and dozens of kingdoms and countless principalities in the Allen continent.
Annan couldn't help but think that if all the nobles gave one gold nard, he would be able to raise the floating city tomorrow.
But the time to make a lot of money is not far away... With the arrival of spring, the sea water melts, and after the port and shipyard are built, Xingyue Bay can trade south along the coastline.
Annan asked a knight to go to the city lord's palace, asked Olmedo to investigate the orc tribe in Grogda, and ran to the mage tower.
"Teacher Yirelanze? It seems that he has been in the Mage Tower." Michael, who has been studying the gunpowder formula Annan left before going to Betar City these days, said.
“In the Mage Tower?” Annan was surprised.
"You don't think that the elf mentor followed you to Bethal City in pursuit of love, do you?"
Annan did not speak, because he did think so. Pointing to Michael’s stubble: “How long have you not shaved?”
"No time, I'm about to refine the gunpowder."
I didn't even have time to reminisce with Annan, so I kicked him out of the alchemy room.
The melee mage who liked to crush skulls with his staff became like this. Annan didn't know whether to feel guilty or relieved.
Annan asked about the elf mentor's room and came to the door hesitantly. A caustic warning is plastered on the oak door: Are you prepared to suffer the consequences of interrupting my research?
Standing in front of the door, Annan took a deep breath and tied the waistband of the mage's robe tightly: "I am Annan, is Master Yirulanze here?"
The unsettling silence lasted for a few seconds, making Annan want to escape. The next moment, the door was pulled open and his black hair was messed up, and the falling shadow swallowed him up.
"Why is little Annan here? Do you miss me!"
"Yes."
Pa——
Annan covered her mouth, But it's too late.
