Chapter 326 179. The Princess of Annan
The population of Xingyue Bay, which accepted the Osulund Territory and refugees, swelled to more than 16,000 people. Coupled with the caravans and travelers coming and going, Xingyue Bay is now like a small city-state.
Laela pushed Itilia and introduced Annan from Xingyue Bay.
Musketeers wearing heavy and dull plate armor patrolled the streets, and Itilia actually saw perseverance in these young faces. Annan said that they had just returned from killing the Ratmen in Evernight Harbor and couldn't wait to show off their achievements. They took the initiative to request patrols, but they couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of this group of young men -
Then Annan led them to the noisy watermill and showed off a pair of newly made muskets and plate armor, saying that muskets are the best A sharp spear and plate armor are the strongest shields. We also stopped by the beach where Bailong was trained. Layla said that the white dragon she was riding was called Andy. It couldn't get through the portal and was rushing back with a knight on its back - to prevent Andy from being attacked by the towns along the way as an evil white dragon.
"Andy?" Itilia became interested as expected. Unlike Layla, the eldest sister prefers "Betal's Redemption". Annan replied that the name "Andy" was given by Elder, a boy who trained the dragon. Because he couldn't name too many names, the other white dragons were named Jack, Rose, Freeman, etc...
So pick it up After coming down, Annan led her to Xingyue Bay Prison. Itilia looked at this prison that completely restored "Betal's Redemption" for a long time. After coming out of the prison, we came to the port. There were several small wooden boats docked at the busy Moon Harbor, and several sailboats were vaguely floating in the deep sea outside the bay. Because the Skaven have moved north, Moon Harbor currently exists in name only—only the catch.
Back from the north of Xingyue Bay, the family’s subjects are moving into the mansion under Ingrid’s arrangement. Itilia originally thought they would be placed outside the town. When heading to the coastal streets, Itilia was frightened by a rat man again.
"It is a broken tooth. If you watch "Betal's Redemption" carefully enough, you will find that it appears as the background in one scene."
Stop in the middle of the coastal street, vast The bay is right in front of you, and this is a scene that is difficult for northerners at the foot of the snow-capped mountains to see.
"Are those Andy and Freeman?" Itilia suddenly saw two figures sitting in front of a small wooden boat stranded on the beach, and there were other figures surrounding them.
"They are performing for tourists."
Itilia expressed doubts, Annan said that the two magical images attracted many tourists to Xingyue Bay, and even the clock tower became a tourist "Pilgrimage Place". So let the bard and the old orc play Andy and Freeman on the beach.
Not far from evening, the sunset is emerging on the sea.
"Does it look good?" Annan asked.
Itilia nodded slightly. What is truly beautiful is not only the scenery, but also the people here. Soldiers, workers, women, all cheering...looking tired and excited.
“Because they have to work more than twelve hours a day...”
“But they look okay.”
“Because I pay their salary.”< br>
We can be happy by the misfortune of others - another way of putting it. Happiness comes from contrast. Compared with their previous miserable life and the suffering outside of Xingyue Bay, they now have a safe place to live, plenty of food, and a salary.
"There are better-looking ones."
Annan and Layla, who was pushing Itilia, walked south along the coastal street. Soon we arrived and the road had not yet been repaired to the outside. Annan took over from Leila and pushed the wheelchair, and he and his two sisters came to the promontory.
After spending some time on the road, the setting sun has disappeared on the sea, and the last afterglow has been barely visible, replaced by sparse stars. Looking into the distance, the lights lit up along the bay, showing a peaceful and peaceful Xingyue Bay.
"I want to protect this place..."
They heard Annan's whisper.
...
After returning from the cape, Annan took them to Aunt Susan's house hesitantly.
"Thank you for taking care of our brother..."
Itilia expressed her gratitude to Aunt Susan and Uncle Holin. After an ordinary and warm dinner, they returned to the lord Annan introduced Lilith, who lives here temporarily.
Itilia showed a listening look, and then said: "That Lilith is not an ordinary girl..."
"Well, she is a tower spirit..."
Annan told them Lilith's origin and the second prince's life box in a low voice, warning Leila not to tell them.
“Why did you only warn me?” Layla pursed her lips. Annan ignored Leila and asked Itilia: "What will happen to the fire dragon's habitat when the family migrates here?"
"It's coming too."
Annan raised his head and glanced, as if the fire dragon was on the ceiling. He spoke much softer: "That Lord Fire Dragon?"
"Yes."
Annan thought of something: "Lan The dragon's lair is behind...will it be discovered by Ilimoyas?"
"It said that the little blue dragon is not qualified to discover it."
A legend. The fire dragon...is equivalent to Agarwal lurking around Annan, and what he discovered was the strange thing.
As a lord who seeks help everywhere, Annan has no reason to give up the combat power he sent: "If the rat men invade Xingyue Bay, will the fire dragon help us?"
Itilia replied gently: "We are exactly the same. Come here for this.”
Annan decided to speak ill of Agarwal for ten more minutes today.
Feeling that Idilia was tired, Annan asked the sisters to stay in the room to catch up on old times, and he withdrew.
“He is very good...but he is not your younger brother.”
The whisper of the fire dragon sounded in Itilia's mind. Looking at the unhappy Layla and thinking of the fact that Layla and Levi had played together since childhood, she couldn't accept the truth, so she decided not to tell her yet...
"What's wrong with you?"
" I...I miss home." Leila squatted in front of the wheelchair and put her head on the armrest. "Will we go back?"
"Of course..."
Leila Resisting the urge to tell the truth. The eldest sister is not in good health, so it’s better not to tell her that Annan is not their younger brother...
......
The next day, Itilia, who received Annan's permission, came to the Department of Home Affairs.
"The finances don't seem to be healthy." Itilia asked after looking through the documents.
“Because the rat men are coming.”
Ingrid said that Xingyue Bay spent nearly 10,000 gold coins in just three months. Annan raised money everywhere, even the blue dragon.
Idilia thought of the fire dragon's praise last night: "He is an excellent lord."
......
At this time, the outstanding lord who was in the living room looked at the two boys coming in: They are Chancellor Mosley and General Marcus.
"Ahem...I am a lord now. I'm sorry, I can't play with you anymore."
"But the princess wants to see you." Minister Mosley said.
Annan would not make the same mistake twice, but they said that the princess missed him and put on her best clothes.
"...Then go and have a look."
