Chapter 251 104. Perfunctory Birthday
“One good news, one bad news.”
Not long after, Annan told Olmedo the words intact.
“Tell me the good news.”
At this time, Olmedo was still signing the decree at the city lord’s palace.
Annan opened his mouth and found that he could not start with the good news: "You have to hear the bad news first."
Olmedo paused and smiled helplessly: "Then let's talk about the bad news first."
"The New Initial approached the Strait of Obiris after two months of sailing, and they discovered traces of the Rat Men."
Olmedo put down his quill and said to the corner of the room, "Tina, I'm going to Xingyue Bay."
Stepping into the portal, she appeared in Annan's study. This isn't Olmedo's first time here, but it's his first time at night. The sea, the breeze, and the quiet towns make up a peaceful night.
"Let's go out and talk."
Annan nodded and asked Abby to stay behind to look after the house. He and Olmedo came to the street and walked towards the bay.
"Tell me what happened."
"The McCann clan's holy weapon, the Disaster Ratman, appeared there..." Annan then recounted his experience on board the New Initial to Olmedo.
"This is really bad news..." Olmedo sighed. She once pessimistically believed that the rat men would come back, but it was too fast and menacing.
"What's more good news?"
"We got the news months in advance. It will take a long time for the McKeon clan to come over and break through all the obstacles. Their goal may not be Xingyue. Bay."
"It seems like three good news."
Annan and Olmedo came to the coastal street, which was a little livelier, with taverns and people talking on the beach in the distance. The sound was carried by the wind.
"We have to be prepared... a clan of ratmen will not go north for no reason." Olmedo said.
"Maybe it has something to do with the loss of contact with their rat god?"
"Who knows..."
If a scholar writes history in the future, he might regard the Saint Laurent calendar as a year of turmoil. The beginning of the crisis - the gods lost contact, humans lost their shelter, and the rat people were ready to move...
The vast bay did not make Olmedo's mood better: "I have tried more than a dozen ways to make Breeze City look like the southern city-state. Just as prosperous and solid, without exception, they all failed..."
"You did not fail, but confirmed a dozen ways that didn't work."
At this time, a figure of Youdao squeezed over: "You never said that to me."
Annan showed his disgust: "Because you swallowed a thousand gold coins from me and made an oil!"
"What is oil?" Olmedo asked curiously.
“A violent oil that even water cannot quench.”
“Wouldn’t that be great?”
"One pound for one gold."
"I take back this sentence."
Annan continued to stare at Michael: "Aren't you going to refine gunpowder?"
< br>"Damn it, I didn't exploit those mage apprentices so much!" Michael ran out and complained, and then he was stunned when Annan said "The rat men are coming": "What?"
" One piece of good news and one piece of bad news...forget it." Annan told Michael what he had said to Olmedo.
"We just watch them coming?"
"So I'm urging you to make gunpowder through alchemy... When the Frost Giants invaded, we wouldn't have caused so much trouble if we had gunpowder." Annan said seriously. "...I'll go right away and recruit some more mage apprentices for me!"
Michael hurried back to his alchemy room.
“Are we considered Ruikaner people?” Annan withdrew his gaze.
"Of course."
"Then can we ask the royal capital for help?"
As a funnel-shaped Kingdom of Rykaner, the McKeons going north must pass through half of Rykaner The kingdom, maybe the royal capital is also on their way... They can't remain indifferent.
"The royal capital may not pay attention to this. They are fighting to the death to support the new king. The nobles who used to shock Ruikaner every time they died are now dying every day..."
“Why didn’t I know?”
Evelin is still racking her brains for each issue of "Xingyue Bay News".
Olmedo looked around Xingyue Bay and said nothing. Annan understood what she meant - he was so focused on Xingyue Bay that he didn't even know what was happening in Breeze City recently.
“They will not continue to fight for power when the ratmen invade.”
“You still don’t know the nobles well enough... If the nobles cannot survive, they will only try their best to destroy the enemies. Dragging it down..." Olmedo felt pessimistic, but still accepted the suggestion: "Just try what you said, it doesn't cost much to write a letter."
The recipient will be the second prince. . He signed Annan's pioneering order, and he had some advantages in the battle for the throne.
When Olmedo was about to go back, a fiery red arrow fell on the fence.
Annan took out the letter paper and money bag from Huo Ya's ankle and came under the magic street lamp.
[My orphan brother:]
[Oh, you must have forgotten that you have two sisters. When you are trying to think of whether their name is Jesse or Nana, the birthday gift your forgotten sister prepared for you]
[Congratulations on being one step closer to adulthood tomorrow. But remember little Annan, stay away from women outside until you reach adulthood! 】
Aunt Susan's little Annan is doting, the Elf Tutor's little Annan is greedy, and Leila's little Annan is threatening.
The time he chose at random happened to be Levi's birthday...
Annan opened his wallet and took out a pair of wool socks - he guessed it was a gift prepared by Layla, because the words on the bottom of the socks With the names of Itilia and Leila... the eldest sister is not that stupid.
And it’s so silly to give woolen socks in the summer.
"I will prepare your gift." Olmedo said next to him.
Annan did not publicize his birthday, only his friends knew it. But I still received many gifts the next day. Annan's most anticipated gift was from Tasia, but she still hadn't returned from the front line. I hope there are no surprises...
...
Crash—crash—
The sound of armor clashing echoed in the dull and depressing castle.
Stepping past the groaning wounded, passing through the flashing windows, and stepping onto the corridor covered with sticky blood, a figure in armor broke into the hall and reported to his lord:
"Lord Mogaro, there is a ship coming outside..."
In the dark morning, the mage who cast the levitation spell fell on the deck.
He keenly noticed that the water element on this ship was unusually strong. He looked at the two figures surrounded by the crew, raised his head and said to them: "In the name of Lord Mogaro Shide, I send this message to you. Recruited, immediately-"
"Sorry, we come from the north, just to investigate the rat clan." Francois refused.
"You..." The elite mage suddenly saw a large group of water elements pouring out of the cabin, and his strong threat turned into a plea: "...please help us."
Francois admired the castle that stood firm all night in the rat tide, and promised: "I will ask the King of the North for you."
