Chapter 394 52. Empire Dinner
As the Empire Tournament approaches, the street lamps and eaves are hung with colorful flags.
It can be seen that the empire attaches great importance to the competition, giving the competition two days later the color of a grand festival.
Ten colleges selected from one hundred and sixty colleges are preparing excitedly. At this moment, Annan is sitting in the auction venue, watching the beautiful girl dragging the auction items, and occasionally shouting lazily Last offer.
It is not difficult to do what was done in the Royal Capital of Rikaner again in the Imperial Capital of Tatooine, just like the fate of Annan and the Montreal family.
From lazy to angry to furious, the Bell Gordon Knight Academy who blocked Annan is complacent about Annan's reaction, and Annan has already joined forces with Sir Kimberly to share the spoils.
"You have helped me a lot, I am in urgent need of money..."
The unimaginable harvest made Sir Kimberly talk more: "Don't worry, your share will be given to you right away..." You."
The eight lots were sold for about 5,600 gold coins. After deducting the auction's 5% handling fee, Annan received 1,300 gold coins.
"You are so cunning...cunning...smart, I have never heard of your name." Kimberly praised Annan in a panic, while looking at Annan: "Are you a student participating in the competition?"
< br>
"Hmm."
"Strange, you didn't receive an invitation?"
"Invitation?"
Kimberly said that the empire attaches great importance to the Top Ten Tournament, so the nobles and forces They came like cats smelling something fishy, and invitations floated like snowflakes to the top ten colleges.
The fact that they did not receive the invitation letter should be related to living in the Montreal family manor - no noble would dare to compete with the royal family.
"Do you know Saltz Academy of Magic?"
"I am."
Kimberly suddenly became more enthusiastic: "It is said that one of your students named Annan Reeves is cunning and cruel. Dichao captured dozens of students?”
“That’s me”
“Uh...”
All Kimberly can say is that she lives up to her reputation.
This knight who was in urgent need of money was unexpectedly smart. He did not pester Annan to please him, but just handed him an address.
Kimberly left in a hurry from the back door of the auction. Annan asked the auction house waiter to load Kimberly's 1,300 gold nuggets and the coins from the auction into the carriage and return to the manor.
When he pushed the door open, Annan found an invitation stuck on the seam of the carriage door:
[Mr. Annan Reeves:
We sincerely invite you to attend the dinner at No. 33 Prony Street. Many of our female members would like to meet the young magician who has repeatedly performed miracles. 】
“They compare me to other warlocks?” Annan said coldly and continued to scan the rest of the content.
【To show our appreciation for you, we have made some adventures and invited guests that you are interested in, such as Mrs. Elf, Miss Ghost, Ms. Succubus, as well as the Goblin and Slime Princess. Aliens who long for your reputation
——The Miraculous Magic Research Society. 】
He asked the guards to carry the treasure box back to his bedroom. Annan who followed was called over by Olin Montreal.
"What are you always carrying to the manor?" She asked knowingly while standing in front of the corridor window.
"Money. I have no place to put it now..." Annan answered calmly. "If you buy the magic ring back, I won't have to carry the treasure box home all the time. By the way, where is Proni Street?"
"I am not your map."
"Old Ancestor Not really.”
Olin Montreal’s superior aura surged out: “Are you threatening me?”
"Why do you think so? Ou Lin..." Annan noticed the wheelchair appearing in the corner from the corner of his eye, and said deliberately disappointedly, "...Sister, I also have a sister, and she, like you, has grown up at the age when she should be having fun. Take on the burden of the family."
"I told her that life is not only about endless work, but also about relaxation and fun. Do you know what she said?"
"How? Say? "Olin Montreal felt a little curious.
“She said, ‘The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility’. There is always someone to support the burden. And I don’t feel distressed. These are already part of my life, so why not , protecting you will make me relax.”
"With great power comes great responsibility?" Orin Montreal chewed this sentence softly, and the distance she deliberately kept from Annan disappeared. "...If I have the opportunity, I will bring your sister as a guest."
"I will."
"But, don't call me...sister again."
Annan saw that the wheelchair was still there, so he had to continue: "Okay, Sister Olin."
"Annan Reeves, my surname is Montreal, you have to know——"
"It's not like the Montreal Golden Family can't have friends." Annan interrupted Olin Montreal, who always had a bad face, "My ancestors hope you can be happy, and you don't want her to be unhappy, sister Oulin~"
Olin returned to the room with the sound of cold boots and sat behind the table, her restlessness gradually fading away. She saw the invitation on the desk and whispered in annoyance: "Damn it, I forgot to talk about the real thing..."
...
Xiana pushed the empty wheelchair into the night full of thoughts. 's back garden.
"Xiao Xian Na?"
Xian Na came back to her senses at the call of her ancestors and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, ancestors, I just couldn't help sitting in the wheelchair for a while..."
"It's okay, you like to let Xiao Annan give it to you too" Just make one."
"No, no need..."
"It's okay, Xiao Annan is an excellent person, I think you won't mind if he makes a few more wheelchairs to distribute. "
Xianna seemed to hear something and started thinking wildly.
Olin did not come over during the next dinner time, and only asked the guard to deliver the invitation letter.
The invitation letter is signed by the Imperial Etiquette Department, inviting Orin and Solz Magic Academy to the Imperial Banquet Hall tomorrow night. Xana and the others are on the guest list, and Annan is no exception.
They didn’t bring any clothes, so the Montreal family had a tailor-made dress for them. On the evening of the next day, everyone who had changed into formal clothes came to the living room one after another, and several carriages were waiting outside the door.
The Tasia-style dresses of Alice, Xana, and Ashe reflected the beauty and vitality of the girls. Even Orin Montreal also put on a slim-fitting long dress to accentuate her straight figure. posture.
They stood in front of the steps, "Annan, what do you think of my dress?" Xian Na enthusiastically turned around in front of Annan.
Annan froze in place.
"What's wrong with you? Brother Annan..."
"I...you are more normal."
Annan is becoming more and more skilled at teasing others, but it is difficult for him to be teased by others. Parry.
Xian Na almost said it, but Oulin, who was still riding on horseback, came over. Doubt swept over the excited Xian Na and the blushing Annan, and asked them to get in the carriage and set off.
From the North to the Middle-earth, all banquets are similar, except that the group of people and costumes have changed.
Oh, there are also those "old friends" from the bottom nest competition.
There were many students and nobles who struck up a conversation with Annan, but they all just said hello. Annan didn't show much utilitarianism - now is not the time to get to know the nobles.
At this time, a beautiful and plump lady came with joy.
“I am Sylvie. My nephew once lost to you, but he admires the strong and likes you very much.”
Annan blurted out: "I like you too."
