Chapter 216 69. Give up
After completing their patrol during the day, Losi and Kerrian returned to the town and found a group of citizens gathered outside the square.
"Go and see what's going on..."
Loxi and Kerrian looked at each other and moved closer. The others voluntarily stepped aside. They did not see any disputes or dead people as they imagined. Only Francois was adjusting a magic stone.
"Mr. Interior Officer, what are you doing?"
"You will know after seeing it."
After placing the eternal magic stone, Francois asked the people to move back.
“Don’t you need to call more people?” Luo Xi looked around. There were only a few dozen people gathered in the square.
“No need, we have to show it several times in the tavern at night.”
The magic image emerged, the flower of the tavern in Xingyue Bay, Miss Evelin’s figure appeared on the magic image .
Is it the sequel to "The Fall of the Mage Tower"?
But it’s so cold outside and there are no stools yet. They have to stand and watch for three hours?
"Welcome to today's [Xingyue Bay News], I am the host Evelyn, today is March 13, 999 in the Saint Laurent calendar..."
...
Yawning Mr. Fast walked into the tavern and found that the usually noisy tavern was now quiet.
"Evelin, are you closed today?"
"Shh..."
Then there was a sound in Fast's ear to silence him. Rubbing his eyes, Fast raised his head and found that the tavern was full of people, looking eagerly at Evelin behind the counter as she opened the magic stone.
"Welcome to today's [Xingyue Bay News], I am the host Evelin..."
It seems that Annan has figured out that "magic news". Fast patted the young man who had taken his place and leaned against the pillar.
Evelin in "Magic News" is dressed formally and sitting at the table, with the frozen Star-Moon Bay and the distant snow-capped mountains in her back.
"The construction of the blue dragon's lair is nearing completion, and Lord Annan is preparing to welcome the blue dragon."
In the picture, Annan commands the large earth element to shape the rock and soil, wrapping the entire roof of the cave. Irregular crystals.
Host and reporter Evelin squatted next to Eli Gravel, interviewing him about the design concept of the blue dragon's lair and the decorative crystals.
“This crystal can shine during the day.” Yili Ruishi’s restraint was visible to the naked eye.
"Does it also glow at night?"
"No."
The last gap closed, and the spar embedded in the rock on the roof of the cave shed a hazy light.
Then the second news: "Ivan and Blanche were fighting over the right to use the kitchen——"
The two young men with gray heads and bruised faces in the picture are like children who made mistakes. Standing in the corner, the atmosphere in the tavern became chaotic, some were laughing, and some pointed at the corner and said excitedly that that was them.
"The Cavaliers discovered an iron ore vein about 160 miles away from the bay——"
After a few news items, the news entered the advertisement: A hesitant and frustrated young man staggered into the Dawn Tavern and asked the man behind the counter. Wood wanted the best wine here, and Wood brought the red wine with the Winchet family emblem printed on it: "Exquisite craftsmanship, long-standing reputation, even the King of the North is immersed in it..." "I want it!"
After the commercial, Evelyn continued to talk about the news in Breeze and the North, and then the bard's joke:
"A dwarf suspected that there were books in the library that discredited dwarves. , came to the library angrily and asked, the elf administrator said no, you can search if you don't believe me. The dwarf searched the library and found nothing. When the dwarf left, his companion asked him where you hid those books. ? The elf administrator said, 'I put those books on the bookshelf'"
There was a burst of laughter in the tavern, and those who didn't understand also laughed.
......
Annan frowned slightly at this moment... Because of the haste, the inserted jokes seemed abrupt, and the pictures during the shooting were not refined enough... But Orr on the other side of the portal Meadow watched very intently.
Attention returned to the "Magic Newspaper", Evelin continued: "The following is a text message: the Dawn Tavern purchased a new batch of Winchet Manor red wine; the leader Rogge because of his outstanding performance in the mine Performance will be rewarded——"
Then there was knowledge popularization. Evelin playfully said in front of the video: "We can actually see our nose all the time."
As you can imagine, everyone who saw this place couldn't help but stare at their eyes and noses, but Annan's frown deepened.
This emotion reached its peak in the final forecast of Old Zollun. When Old Zollun leaned on his cane and said: "Well...tonight and tomorrow will be sunny days suitable for work.", Annan sighed.
"See you next week."
The magic image ended. Olmedo looked out the window at the raging wind and snow, and said to Annan: "Is this your result? It's very good. ...But you don’t seem satisfied?”
“Magic newspapers shouldn’t be like this...”
Annan made a mistake. It was too early for this form of news to appear in the north, and it was no different from magical images, and even made less money.
A one-gold recording magic stone can be turned into 100 gold coins, or it can be shown ten times in exchange for dozens of gold coins, but a "magic newspaper" that can be exchanged for 5 copper coins once can only barely recover its cost. Even if the wine lady paid 100 gold coins for ten issues of advertisements.
“What do you think?”
“A piece of parchment that contains news, moves and makes sounds.”
Today’s news is separated from Annan The magic newspaper he wanted was not the effect he wanted.
"To research new spells, you need to find a mage tower."
"So I'm going to ask the elf mentor..." Annan sighed for the second time tonight.
Annan is not satisfied with the effect of the "Magic Newspaper", but it is a new thing to the people of Xingyue Bay. Even "Betal's Redemption" can't hide its brilliance, and it has not been played a few times. It was replaced by "Magic Newspaper".
They discussed this week's "Magic Newspaper" hotly. For example, Old Zoron's forecast was not accurate at all. For example, it was said that Soruman Bronzebeard and Eli Rubble smashed their hammers after reading it. And Ivan and Blanche, they have almost become celebrities, everyone in Xingyue Bay knows them.
Annan asked Francois to stop preparations for the second issue. Just as the bard said that he has been busy with "Betal's Redemption" and "Magic Newspaper" these days, he has no time to rest, and he can't even divide it. A copper coin.
"Want to escape from work?" Annan asked the bard, and after receiving the answer, he told him, "Then find more bards for me."
Magic images are almost a natural promotion for bards ceremony. It's just that bards are not good at fighting, and their spells are mainly auxiliary.
At this time, Annan personally ran to Breeze City to seek help from the Elf Mentor.
The towering mage tower stood quietly, Annan stood at its feet, the manic wind and snow howling in his ears, like a brave man about to break into the devil's cave.
