Chapter 313 166. Twenty-Eight Days of Shock
The walls of Breeze City are also full of busy silhouettes. The brick wall rich in history is wrapped in cement. The city wall, which is about ten meters high, is about one meter higher than two months ago - only cement can achieve such speed. Breeze City accommodates a population of more than 300,000. Its city wall rises one meter, which is enough for Xingyue Bay to rise twenty meters.
Before this cold winter, Breeze City's city wall should be able to reach twelve meters.
Annan did not return to Xingyue Bay, he was invited to visit the Olmedo family. Olmedo also has many family members, but they are just cousins.
As the head of the old nobility of Breeze City, the Olmedo family should not be as depressed as the Reeves family.
"Your father did this too?" Annan asked curiously.
Olmedo's smile disappeared: "...you can stay as long as you want, I'm going to handle government affairs."
Looking at Olmedo's back, Annan asked Tina: "Did I say something wrong?"
"Master Annan, you are just not good at dealing with girls." Tina said this.
Annan doesn’t think so. Lady Wine, Lady Winter, and Princess Seles all praised him profusely. Maybe Olmedo was just in a bad mood?
Annan followed to the corridor outside the study. A maid was preparing to go in with pastries. "I'll do it." Annan wanted to take the plate, but the maid hesitated and didn't know what to do.
“Leave it to him.”
Tina opened the door and said, letting Annan come in with the dinner plate.
"I'm not angry." Olmedo just raised his head and glanced.
“I know how the Lord of Breeze City can be so easily angry.”
"...I'm really a little angry now." Not driving Annan out showed that Olmedo really regarded him as a friend.
Annan had nothing to do, but guessed that Olmedo was showing off to the nobles of Breeze City, so he stayed with the Olmedo family for a day, and asked the kitchen to prepare a roasted whole lamb for Elimo in the evening. Yas. Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Olmedo, Annan returned to Xingyue Bay on the back of Ilimoyas's dragon.
The alliance between Xingyue Bay and Breeze City has not had any changes or disturbances, because they have been working closely together before.
Under this dull situation, Xingyue Bay completed its autumn harvest. More than 30,000 kilograms of dried fish were dried. Fire Crow brought new news.
In the second week, urban residents in Pulang'enci County successively received a new issue of "Xingyue Bay News": "The unstoppable rat-man army is approaching the city!" 》
Will the third week be "The Great Skaven Legion Comes to Its Loyal Hive"?
Annan went to Breeze City again, bringing a bag of gold coins with him.
The blue dragon was parked outside the mage tower. Annan climbed down from the dragon's back. After taking a few steps, Ilimoyasi stretched out her dragon claw to block her: "Remember to come out and take a photo."
" It won’t be long.”
Annan has already seen a mage running out. After asking them to wait for a moment, Annan knocked on the door of Michael's alchemy room, opened the money bag straight to the point, and poured 100 gold nards on the table: "I want to see the black powder statue before the third week. Garvar’s temper ”
"What do you mean?" Michael's attention was grabbed by the pile of gold coins.
“It will explode at one o’clock.”
“Twenty-one days? No problem——”
“No, it’s seven days.”
“I I can't think of it, seven days is too short..."
Annan opened the empty money bag, counted out 10 gold coins and put them back: "What about this time?"
"You can't do this..."
Annan opened the money bag again and poured money into the pile of gold coins. Stretched out his hand. "I have to hire two mages to help me!" Michael shouted to stop him.
"Seven days?"
Michael gritted his teeth: "Seven days, but you have to give up those 10 gold coins..." "I didn't even know you had dragon blood." Annan handed the money Throw the bag back into the pile of money and return to the outside of the mage tower.
The number of mages around the blue dragon is still the same as last time. In addition to taking photos, there are also some mages who want some dragon scales, dragon skin and dragon blood, and they are willing to spend money.
I can see that Ilimayas is hesitating. The dignity of the Dragon Clan made it refuse to sell these, and the Dragon Clan's preferences made it unable to refuse those shiny gold coins -
"Sorry, we don't sell these."
Annan rejected them, Lan The dragon flapped its wings and set off a strong air current, carrying Annan and disappearing into the western sky.
When they returned to the blue dragon's lair, they first divided the spoils, but as soon as they took out the money, Ilimoyas squeezed Annan away with her dragon claws. "Mine! They're all mine!" Its dragon claws covered the gold and silver coins.
“Didn’t you say half and half?”
“I didn’t say it this time.”
Annan forgave Ilimoyas. The blue dragon hoards money and he hoards goods, and the blue dragon is his treasury. Thinking of wiping away all of Blue Dragon's savings one day in the future, Annan let out a jeering laugh that made Blue Dragon even uneasy.
Back in the study room of the Lord's Mansion, Annan restrained himself from the joy brought by Elimoyas and continued to polish the first edition of "Annan's Fables".
This is the way the world is. You have to face its beauty and bear its heaviness.
Meir wanted his story adopted, and Annan kept his word. He spent several days polishing Sleeping Beauty, the Princess and the Pea, Little Red Riding Hood, the Frog Prince and the Three Little Pigs. The first story was "The New Three Little Pigs" signed by Mel.
The first "Annan's Fables" was bound, then the second and the third. This book about the King of the North and the Knight of the Holy Grail was placed on the shelves and began to be sold in Breeze City and Star-Moon Bay.
At this time, Annan took the first "Annan's Fables" to the cemetery in Xingyue Bay - where he erected a tomb for Mel.
In front of his tombstone, Annan bowed and put down "Annan's Fables" and murmured: "The third little pig did what you expected."
After Annan turned around and left, the moist sea breeze blew into the cemetery and opened the title page of "Annan's Fables".
……
This is a world with a soul.
The souls of believers go to God, and the souls of unbelievers go to hell.
The bad news is that Annan is a faithless person. The good news is that the Knight of the Holy Grail is a devotee of the Lady of the Lake.
The holy spirit transformed by the venerable Holy Grail Knight returns to the world.
At the end of September, when the nights are already chilly, the fourth week has arrived.
"The Macken Ratmen failed to capture the royal capital, and the rat tide dispersed in all directions"
The title of the new issue of the magic newspaper made many people love and hate it. Because the royal capital resisted the rat men, and also because the royal capital was unable to stop the rat men from continuing to infiltrate and wreak havoc in every county.
What makes people uneasy is, who knows if the rat men will come to wreak havoc in the north?
The North is no longer safe.
Fortunately, Xingyue Bay and Breeze City were well prepared - Breeze City stole all the attention, while Xingyue Bay seemed to be forgotten.
Because Breeze City is a real city.
As the northernmost city in the kingdom, it has a mage tower, and the tower owner Agarwal is comparable to a demigod; it has more than a dozen epics, dozens of masters and thousands of elites.
Xingyue Bay has magical images, magical newspapers, ports, alien races, and many new things, but people still don’t think that a new town can resist the rat plague, even if it once caused the Knights to hit a wall .
