Chapter 597 254. They are back
"I am Joan Ikosela Maria Behdad Claremont Montreal, the princess of the Golden Family!" Joan He shouted with a deliberately northern accent.
Neat shawl short hair, men's dress, delicate face, but Joan is still doing her job...but she was a little restrained in front of Annan before.
The largest city-state in the north of the Kingdom of Dimon, Levanttu.
With permission from the city lord's palace, Joan set up a tent in the Garden Square and introduced the return action to the old residents who had received the leaflets.
The dark crowd stood in the cold wind, staring at the figure who seemed to be a big shot.
"I know her, she is Lord Annan's friend!"
One of the people hiding in the crowd shouted.
This made the people who had been in Levanttu for a whole year really think that there was such a person beside the former King of the North.
Qiong An was introducing Liberty City, which has more beautiful scenery than Xingyue Bay, better treatment than Liberty City, free accommodation, jobs provided, and the mayor of Breeze City and Annan's sister as deputy city lords... But Avoid exaggerating the crisis in the north - this is the request of the city lord's palace.
They could sell some friendship to the rising champion warlock, but they couldn't allow them to bring chaos.
But some locals sneered: "If it is so good, why come here to recruit the old people."
"Just because it is so good, we recruit the old people... Lord Annan and Olme Your support has never been forgotten, otherwise why would they choose to give you a sum of money when we parted? They hope that you will survive and be reunited in the future."
As I once drove a carriage alone in Breeze City and. Among those doing business in Bethal City, Joan's eloquence reminded many old people of their past lives and shed tears.
They are not only people from Xingyue Bay and Breeze City, but also people from the Kingdom who have fled here.
Joan spoke softly: "Not just you, but all the old people who were homeless after the fall of the kingdom can go to Liberty City... because Lord Annan is not only the lord of the city, but also the eternal King of the North!"
< br> "But... Your Highness, what if we already have a family here?" asked a man wearing warm clothes and looking like he was doing well.
"If you are willing, you can bring your relatives there."
The person who had sneered before quickly talked to a woman next to him: "Beautiful lady, am I lucky enough to be your husband?"
“Stay away from my wife.” The strong man wearing thin cloth clothes in December in the north drove him away.
Joan, who was being stared at by many eyes, continued: "If you are willing to go to Liberty City, please sign up here first. You will set off with the team to Typhoon Shelter Town, which is the territory of Olmedo, the former lord of Breeze City. , you will be taken to your new home and start a new life."
"I used to be a fisherman, can I continue in the past?"
A gust of cold wind brought a trembling cry. Voice.
"I know that many people don't understand the current Free City, so I brought these things..."
Joan held up the magic stone that was familiar to many old people.
The mage group of Levanttu raised a constant-temperature barrier in the square, and the people who signed up crowded towards the tent.
They first gave the old people who signed up a cotton coat and a Fast coat, and then gave them a bowl of hot soup that warms the heart in the cold winter, and then sat in the warmed barrier, Watch When Freedom Knocks.
There should be three to four thousand old citizens gathered in Levanttu. Counting the old citizens of the kingdom, there should be six or seven thousand... not too much, but with the publicity, the old citizens of nearby towns will also be Attracted.
On the first day, they collected a total of 723 people, of which less than 300 were from Xingyue Bay and Liberty City.
But on the second day, things changed.
People from the city lord's palace came to her and asked to go to the banquet and show the magical image at the banquet. Joan couldn't shirk it, so she had to choose "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" and "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to attend the banquet.
They didn’t know Joan’s identity and thought she was really the princess of the Montreal family, so they presented them with gifts and treated her as nobles. Joan is still a little clever. She pretended to be the princess of the Kingdom of Rekaner, not the Empire of Tatooine.
Anyway, the Kingdom of Ruikan'er can't make a sound now, but the empire can cause trouble for her at any time... The rigid officials of the Empire's Etiquette Department are afraid of even the real princess of the empire.
Furthermore, the status of a princess who "abandons the dark and embraces the light" can always gain favor and bring her closer to the old people.
Joan enjoyed the crowd while trying to maintain her identity.
In the middle of the banquet, "The Fall of the Mage Tower" also came to where the rat tide was approaching. At this time, a heavily armored knight carrying the cold wind from the outside came in with heavy steps.
"Your Highness the Princess."
The heavily armored knight knelt on his left knee to perform the knightly salute, and a dull female voice came from the armor.
If Annan were here, he would recognize her: Klein.
A member of Michael's team at the time, Annan later met her in the outer courtyard of the Royal Capital of Deutsche Academy and gave her a New Year's gift.
But now neither Joan nor Klein knows each other: "Who are you?"
"I am Klein, Annan's former companion. I want to ask you, will he fight Ratman. If so, I will go with you."
The surrounding guests looked at her, and some people frowned when they knew her.
Qiong An thought for a while and said: "Annan's honor does not require me to explain too much. Even if you don't know, you should know that the second expedition was initiated by Lord Annan."
"I can't give you a specific answer, brave knight. But I promise you that you can always believe in Annan's determination to regain the northern territory."
The knight raised her head, but she still did not take off her helmet: " Then I’ll go to Liberty City with you.”
……
Money is never enough.
Liberty City’s finances have never been stable—either a sharp increase or a sharp decrease.
Originally, this kind of financial change was considered "normal", but with the turmoil in the north, they suddenly had more places to spend money.
Even if the crisis occurs a year later, Liberty City will not be as embarrassed as it is now.
Annan thought of many ways to make money,
such as issuing bonds, opening a bank, and issuing special edition products: signed version of Fast Clothes, expanded version of magic video, endorsed version of lemon soda Water, Jack's version of the girdle, Liberty City's version of playing cards...
But none of them can make hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a short time.
Annan needed to make quick money.
"If you really want to make money, why don't you go to the south?" Olmedo suggested, "The business atmosphere there is strong and it has not been robbed by magical images."
"You I should say baptism."
"As long as you understand, we just have a foothold in Gangduo Territory."
Annan thought thoughtfully. He had indeed wanted to go to the south a long time ago. The idea of seeing the local customs and customs...
But there are still some unfinished things here...
Annan, who was looking forward to his journey to the south, decided to set off in the New Year - which happened to be the day of the "apocalypse forecast".
