Chapter 213 66. Newspaper
“My throat is itchy...”
Having not finished speaking, Annan suddenly ran into a soft embrace that could not breathe, and an insect falling into a spider web came to mind. , the scene of getting tighter and tighter.
"You still need to study..."
"I can hold little Annan and study."
The fanatical elf mentor buried his head in his black hair and gasped. Annan thought again that he had held a kitten transformed into a golden dragon like this... Does it like this?
"Ah...the tower master...asked me to come..."
"Tower master?"
The elf mentor let go of Annan and released a "power word spell" ", telling Annan, who was about to lie, to shut up.
It's really hard to fool a high-level mage.
Soon after, Annan walked out of the room disheveled. He first tidied his messy black hair in the unmanned corridor, released the cleaning technique to tidy up the mage's robe, restored his elegant aristocratic posture, left the mage tower, and drove to the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.
In the turbulent years when the gods lost contact, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth was one of the few unaffected churches because of their teachings and wealth.
This type of gentle, orderly church rarely causes turmoil, such as the Church of the Goddess of Fertility and the Church of the Mother Earth. It just so happens that Breeze City is the only one with these churches. The further south you go, the more prosperous you are and the more churches there are. According to the bards, in the southern city-states with a population of millions, countless churches, esoteric cults, and sects with extreme doctrines are doing the deeds of Khorne, just to get the gods to pay attention again.
"The goddess of wealth welcomes you, King of the North."
The nun brought the priest Annan had met before.
"Okay." Annan responded and told the priest what happened to him.
"This is indeed strange, Mr. King of the North, have you encountered anything recently?"
I have encountered a lot... Annan thought, but before seeing the blue dragon, those Dragon Hunting Team - Annan suddenly remembered the pink blood mist when the female warrior was injured and the charming words on the road.
“This sounds like the work of a succubus,” the priest said.
"Succubus?"
Speaking of this, Annan's energy became concentrated, and then he was annoyed that he didn't realize it at the time, and passed by the succubus twice.
“These minions from the abyss always want to get involved in our world.” The priest comforted Annan who looked regretful. “Don’t worry, the goddess has no time to lower her gaze for the time being, but we still have rare magical scrolls for you to remove. Curse..."
"How much?"
"A low-level purification magic scroll should be able to solve it. We recommend that you choose medium-level purification magic, which also comes with skin protection and whitening. Enhance lasting effects. ”
“So how much does it cost?”
"Because you are the King of the North, we will only charge you 29 gold coins."
"...Will there be any negative status if I don't remove the curse?"
"Don't worry. , this curse cannot make you a succubus——"
...
"——At most, it can make me say some uncontrollable words occasionally."
In the study room of the city lord's palace, Annan and Olmedo complained.
“You got rid of the curse?”
“No, that’s too expensive.”
29 gold, which is almost the annual expenses of 29 families, Annan I can't accept this luxury yet.
Olmedo sipped the hot tea with interest: "Try saying a few words?"
"Lord of Breeze City, please respect yourself." After a few jokes, Olmedo suddenly said seriously: "Annan, you are the king of the north."
Annan didn't know that Olmedo Why did Meadow say that suddenly?
“Can you imagine the old head of the Lawrence family doing everything himself? Even I can’t do everything myself.”
“A King in the North It should be steady and powerful.”
"It's more efficient to do it yourself, and..." Annan hesitated, "They all have their own things to be busy with."
Uncle Huolin mingled with the woodcutter, and Aunt Susan mingled with the female workers. .
Mr. Fast and Evelyn have to keep the tavern running so that the people have something to do at night.
The bard wanders around Breeze City all day long, working hard for "Betal's Redemption" and promotion to the elite.
Mr. Victor worked hard to guard the library under the blazing sunshine.
Soruman Bronzebeard didn't even have time to transport wine, and was immersed in the blacksmith shop making tools.
Andrew Luna travels back and forth between the Morrowind Tavern and the Morrowind Tavern branch.
After Francois, Lorna came back, they and Ingrid were busy with the development of Star Moon Bay;
West and Claudia were running business with businessmen, and the other was in business. Meditate hard.
Even Martin was learning swordsmanship with Fast all day long, and then Fast enchanted the sword because he always put enchantments on it.
Outstanding territorial citizens such as Losi and Kerrian also assumed responsibilities.
Only Annan, the lord of Xingyue Bay, had nothing to do.
As for why you go to Fortune Church in person instead of having the pastor of Fortune Church come to your door...that's because the price is more expensive.
Annan was willing to spend a thousand gold coins to take magical images, and happily threw a thousand gold coins to Michael to refine gunpowder, but he could not accept spending money on meaningless things.
“Stop talking about me, did Grogda help me investigate?”
Olmedo pointed to the stack of books at the corner of the table: "It's all there."
Annan picked up the top book, "The Adventures of Oakham". The bookmark sandwiched between the pages prevented him from turning it over by himself. try to find.
[...Occam popped his head out of the swamp, and what did he see! A brightly colored village, but the people in the village are not people, but orcs with fangs, brown skin, and thick bodies! 】
[The orcs discovered Occam and dragged him out of the mud. Occam tried to escape but failed. The orcs tied him to a wooden frame and built a bonfire——]
Annan was turning to the next page with anticipation when he suddenly realized that he was not here to read the story.
"Captain of the guard!"
Call the captain of the guard outside the door and ask him to take away the stack of books, "I need information about Grogda in recent years."
He calmly ordered Annan from Olmedo sat back on the sofa.
"What do you think of the school I proposed earlier?"
The school in Xingyue Bay is already under construction. Annan described the benefits of the school and made her realize the importance of the school.
A worker can only sell his physical strength. Woodcutter, farmer, fisherman, miner...but a literate worker can do more and do it better.
The literate farmer knows how to increase crop yields, the fishermen know what season to catch the fish, the woodcutter knows which trees are valuable and easy to cut down, and the miner knows when to run——
Of course, Annan is here Waiting for Breeze City's literacy rate to increase, then it would be logical to promote the newspaper.
A normal newspaper should contain: news that is more real than the gossip in the tavern, the happenings around the town, the mercenary team recruiting professionals and the work of recruiting workers, the north, the Kingdom of Ruikan and even The news about Allen Continent and the valuable knowledge that can only be learned in the Mage Tower can also be used to wipe your butt. 10 copper coins for such a newspaper is not expensive, right?
