Chapter 390 48. Asking for Debt
“I saw it floating on the water...”
Olin looked at Annan for a while and then walked away without asking for her clothes back. Annan was disturbed by a certain resolution he seemed to have made as he left.
Knowing that he would get into trouble, Annan would rather pick up the clothes of his ancestors.
Throwing the worthless silk clothes back into the bath, Annan returned to the mansion.
Vice-dean Boris is borrowing the Montreal family's manor to hold a celebration banquet.
"Lord Annan! Come here!" The shameless deputy dean waved to Annan in an extremely flattering manner, "I have good news for you!"
"About the fiefdom?"
"Mr. Dean asked me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the college and have already started looking for a fiefdom for you."
"Congratulations, Annan... We look forward to the day when you become the champion." Xana's cheeks flushed under the fire.
Others came to congratulate Annan in turn, including Annan's teammates. They knew who the biggest contributor was. Including Ai Xue, he actually brought those crooked melons and split dates from Solz Magic Academy into the top ten...
There were many people at the banquet, and the ancestor was sitting in the wheelchair given by Annan. Enjoy the fun.
"When will "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" be filmed?" Alice asked him.
"While filming."
Annan's plan is to first learn about the floating tower, then select the fiefdom, and then use it to open the Storto in "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Vis Market, striking while the iron is hot, brought "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" and "Betal's Redemption" to the screen again.
The locals have never seen the magical images. At most, people who migrated from the north have heard about it, so it is not considered a piece of cake.
"Do you know about Floating Island?" Annan asked her.
"New Star Moon Bay? That will require a lot of money, and what you 'earn' back is far from enough."
"I know, but it should be okay to make a prototype?"
Alice thought for a while: "One million gold coins should be enough for the model you mentioned."
Annan was silent for a while: "Silver coins?"
"Gold coins."
"Copper coins?"
"The basis for making the floating city float is the arcane energy core. The cheapest arcane energy core costs half a million gold coins, which can only float a mage tower. "
So the cheapest arcane energy core is equivalent to the wealth of one hundred Ilimoyas?
But it doesn't seem that far out of reach. Syltovis is close to many towns, and even the salary of a tavern waiter here is 15 silver coins per week. "The Fall of the Mage Tower" and "Betal's Redemption" can earn 20,000 gold coins in the North, but they will only earn more if placed in the Middle Earth...
"Ancestor, do you know about the Floating Island?" Annan He squatted beside the wheelchair and asked again.
"I have some friends who own floating towers."
The ancestor narrowed his eyes and smiled, and asked Annan to find Olin Montreal.
“Olin, uh...isn’t sister the leader of the Knights?”
"She knows the officials in the purchasing department."
This should mean that low prices can be exchanged for high quality.
......
"You have some misunderstandings about our guests."
In the bedroom on the third floor, a nightingale on the windowsill was talking to Oline Montreal.
Orin Montreal thought of the scene she saw earlier: "But not for the warlock."
The nightingale let out an anthropomorphic sigh: "Olin, you know what kind of person you are, not even the warlock. Will like..."
"My surname is Montreal. The nobles who want to pursue me can line up from the palace garden to the bottom of the city."
"Okay, if he is really interested in you. If you are interested, I will come to you in the evening.”
叩叩叩——
A knock on the door suddenly echoed in the quiet night. The nightingale blended into the night, and Orin Montreal opened the door and saw Annan standing outside the door.
No one taught Annan aristocratic etiquette, so he had no idea about "knocking on a lady's door late at night".
“What is it?”
“Do you know about the floating city?”
Olin Montreal's indifferent face changed into something strange: "...You came to me for this?"
Annan suddenly realized: "Oh, our ancestors are also at the banquet, shall we go down and talk?"
......
After Xian Na left Annan, she frequently looked out the door. Where was he going so late? Is anyone else out there? Will he come back?
"He will not come back." Ai Xue came to her sister holding hot coffee.
"What are you talking about?"
Ai Xue looked at her ancestors napping in front of the fireplace: "This is a real Montreal family, different from us."
After the words fell, the room in the restaurant The door suddenly opened, and Annan and Orin Montreal appeared outside.
They passed by the surprised Xina and the silent Ai Xue, and the words floated into their ears: "Is there no other way? For example, let the wind element assist?"
Annan remembered that there was a book The book describing the four elements says that there are many empty islands floating in the elemental plane of wind.
Orin Montreal said no. The wind element is inherently unstable, and the islands in the plane are always being destroyed and reunited.
There are also fire elements, which at most make the airship hot air balloon rise.
The core of the floating city only has arcane energy core. Use wind elements at most to save some money - the more you save, the greater the wind.
“The ancestor said you know the people in the purchasing department.”
“It seems that the ancestor really likes you.” Olin Montreal was helpless, “Tell me what you want to buy. . The price of the purchasing department is 20% off that of the outside world. I will buy it for you.”
Then he maintained his indifference and added:
"To thank you for giving the wheelchair to our ancestors."
Annan wondered why this person said good things but didn't have a good face?
A 20% discount on 500,000 gold coins, which is 400,000 gold coins... equivalent to earning 100,000 gold coins!
"Can I buy something else first? A space bag, two magic rings that are inscribed with medium elemental summons."
Orin Montreal thought for a while: "For ten thousand gold coins, I will give you three rings tomorrow, two element summoning rings and a space ring.
"Deal! Uh...Sister Olin, can I give you money again tomorrow? "
"What did you call me? "Olin Montreal is as cold as ice.
"Ms. Olin. ”
……
Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—bang bang bang—
The sound of banging on the door in the early morning woke up the residents of the mansion. The sleepy young man opened the door and saw clearly the person outside the door. He was shocked. He wanted to close the door in disgrace, but was blocked by an arm: "You don't want to break the contract and the devil comes to the door, right?"
Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—bang bang bang—
Not long after, there was another knock on the door at the end of the corridor. But the college, which had glimpsed the previous debt collection scene, refused to open the door.
The banging on the door lasted for a while and disappeared as the footsteps receded. The students in the room breathed a sigh of relief. When they hesitated to open the door and take a look, the door suddenly shook and sawdust flew.
The tip of the ax peeking through the door panel tells what happened.
The ax was pulled out from the door, and then another ax struck into the door panel, creating a gap in the door panel.
"Who is outside!" the students screamed.
A face emerged from behind the cracked door panel.
“This is Annan!”
