Chapter 528 185. House Thief
In the early morning, Annan rolled down from the bed.
His movement made Della burst into the room, ignoring Annan who got up rubbing his head and scanning the room.
"Where is the enemy?"
"There is no enemy...it was Lily who pushed me. Bad Lily."
"Meow?" Lily raised her head while licking her paws.
After Dai La went out, Annan looked sad again.
The remaining "Betal's Redemption" and "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" together only have four hours... I will have to endure another four hours tonight.
Annan wanted to discuss with Belludona whether he could return the soul of Mad Dog Archduke - but when he thought about the suffering he suffered in hell, which was a hundred times more painful than his own, Annan could bear it no more.
Arriving at the restaurant downstairs, Annan poked at the mushroom soup with a spoon in a daze.
"You don't seem to have had a good rest." Ingrid, who appeared on time, sat next to her.
"I'm worried that those orcs will cause trouble..." Annan raised his eyelids lazily.
"They are very honest. If they were pea pods, they would know what to do and what not to do."
"Wand pea pods?"
"The mercenary group is right A description of an orc who relies on mercenaries to live.”
Mercenary groups are happy to hire orcs. An ordinary orc can win or lose against a human warrior. The former only needs to take care of the food, while the latter needs to distribute money and needs to be careful when facing interests.
They may not be the best warriors, but they must be the best beasts.
Ingrit handed the financial list to Annan, "You can handle it yourself." Annan pushed back.
"You'd better take a look, our finances are running low."
"Why are we running out of money again!?"
Annan just wanted to kick Ingrid's ass as hard as the Demon Lord kicked himself.
“Don’t you know that the Mage Tower is a gold-swallowing beast?” Ingrid pointed to the construction site of the Mage Tower in the distance outside the window, “And you also requested to use orichalcum as a building material...”
< br>Without the magic image to support the finances, Ingrid and Olmedo would have avoided the wind pond and lived in the country.
Annan asked hesitantly: "How much more do we have to spend to make the Mage Tower powerful..."
"You mean the first floor is completed? We have currently purchased about half a million Orichalcum of gold coins,"
Annan seemed to see the phantom of flames grinning and kicking her forehead, so hard that stars appeared in her eyes——
“So——” Ingrid looked at Annan’s uncomfortable look.
"No...I will work hard to make money." Annan raised his head, painful but determined.
It cannot be changed into an ordinary mage tower... From the moment he learned about the Tower of Babel, Annan wanted to recreate the same creation in his territory.
No lord can refuse the spectacle, no man can refuse the tower.
At this time, the maid Abby pushed the eldest sister in. She said: "Don't worry about money for the time being. I just sent about 30,000 gold coins to the treasure house."
The family's private collection?
As soon as Annan's worries surfaced, Idilia explained: "The Blue Dragon's private collection."
"I remember that Ilimoyas has no money..."
The blue dragon had been lying on the bare rock for more than ten days.
"Remember when I investigated the missing treasure house? I found that the treasure house lost more property than I thought. At first I thought it was the guards guarding the treasure house who stole it, but they didn't know about it at all. No outsiders had entered the treasure house." Yi Delia's account of the investigation has the twists and turns of a detective story. She searched for a long time without any clues, so she used Alice's prophecy to first find the place where Claire hid the jewelry, and then followed the clues back to find the "robbery hole" inside the treasure house.
This is something no one expected. Because the underground of Liberty City is built with a layer of orichalcum as the foundation, and legend has it that the foundation cannot be broken, so they forgot that there is a layer of soil of tens of meters from orichalcum to the ground... The thief is under the ground, orichalcum. Above, everyone digs holes in the blind spots in their hearts and steals the treasure house.
Then Idilia followed the thief's cave to the outside of the treasure house, and then followed the clues to find the Crystal Nest...
"The thief wanted to pour dirty water on Ilimoyas ?" Annan frowned.
Idilia and Ingrid looked at each other helplessly: "Is it possible that your 'Blue Dragon Princess' stole these."
The treasure trove in Liberty City is getting less and less, Ellie There are more and more nests of Mayas.
"This is impossible!" Annan said firmly, "If Ilimoyas stole these, she would not be able to hand them over."
"This is part of the Blue Dragon Order, I After explaining her purpose, she obediently vomited out the stolen property. "
If it were a chaotic and evil red dragon, it would be "This is what I worked hard to steal. How can you say it's wrong!" ".
Ilimoyasi has already admitted it, and Annan has no choice but to quibble. "How do you want to punish her?" he asked reluctantly.
Ingrid said: "The crime of theft in the Free City Code is punished according to the amount. If no one is injured, it is usually a certain period of work, and the person will be released after meeting a certain number of working hours."
< br>"But human punishment is not suitable for blue dragons..."
A worker can move a day's worth of things and Ilimoyas can deliver them all in one trip...
Itilia At this time, he said: "The meaning of the code is to punish the criminals. Different races have different feelings of pain. Our punishment should be the same as making the dragons lose their gold coins."
"Then the reward to Ilimoyas will be suspended and will be restored when it reaches the amount she stole."
This can be regarded as establishing prestige for the "Free City Code" - in the future, other races, other The dragons all get the same punishment when they make mistakes.
Next, Annan went to the mansion of the Timber Wolf tribe and spent a day with the orcs. When I came back, I took a detour to the Musketeers' Camp and borrowed a pair of plate armor.
That night, Annan put on plate armor alone in the bedroom, lay on the bed holding two magic stones, and slowly fell asleep...
Annan appeared wearing plate armor. In a dream.
Annan is smiling, and the flame shadow is grinning.
......
In the early morning, Annan sat up from the bed with a painful groan like a dying person.
My whole body was aching, but there was no injury at all... Annan felt that now that he was fighting an orc, he would not scream as long as he was not killed.
Fortunately, Lily, with her tail raised, came over and warmed Annan's traumatized heart.
It's both strange and reasonable to say - in the dream the plate armor was crushed into a metal ball, but in reality the plate armor was intact.
Taking off his plate armor and putting it into the magic ring, Annan ran to Bronzebeard's blacksmith shop without eating breakfast: "How long will my orichalcum flower last?"
"This week. "
"Tell them to make another pair of orichalcum armor that can be worn on your body..."
Bronzebeard felt. Doubtful, because this thing has no other advantages besides being extremely hard. It has no stretchability or conductivity and can only block sharp weapons. Being hit in the chest by a war hammer is like...being hit in the chest by a war hammer.
Its only purpose is to make the person wrapped in the armor "die beautifully."
