Chapter 706 103. Everyone in Liberty City after a long absence
Annan’s return did not alarm many people.
At most, Olmedo, Itilia, Fast, Francois, Evelin...
Well, Evelin knows, half of Liberty City That’s all.
Liberty City is changing with each passing day. The buildings that were not completed when Annan left have been completed, and many new houses are still being built. Only the Mage Tower is still under construction. It should not be built this year. layered.
There are one-third more residents and tourists than before, and the spacious streets are finally filled with excitement.
The first person to pick up Annan was Lily - she and Silly Cat were lying on the eaves of the pub. Seeing Annan coming back, Lily jumped to the ground and ran towards Annan with a long "meow". Silly cat The cat ran to nowhere.
Annan returned to the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion holding Lily in his left hand and the flowerpot in his right hand.
The warm afternoon sun shines into the room, and the sense of security brings fatigue, making people want to take a comfortable nap.
Annan didn't dare... Who knew what kind of ceremony the demon king, who had been neglected by him for several months, had prepared to "welcome" him.
Lily reached out to grab the leaves of the tree from another world, but Annan held her away and placed the flower pot on the windowsill.
"This is very important, you must take good care of it." Annan reminded Lily.
Standing in front of the window, Annan looked towards the Crystal Nest next door.
"Is Elimoas awake?"
"No." Abby replied.
The dragon is one of those immortal species that sleeps twice a year and sleeps for half a year at a time. As for why she didn't sleep like this in the North... they only slept in safe places.
To a certain extent, this represents Ilimoyas's trust in Liberty City.
But Ilimoyas has been sleeping for more than four months, and she is not far away from waking up.
Annan went to see the little spider on the dressing table again. It was not bad. It was a little fatter than before leaving. But as soon as it saw him, it crawled back into its nest and refused to scream.
Annan had no choice but to walk out of the bedroom and go to the second floor to visit Olmedo first.
"It's great to have you back."
As soon as he opened the door, the smiling Olmedo made Annan wonder whether he should step in.
"I just came back..."
"But only you can do this. Our ship has arrived at the capital of Khamis VI."
"Okay, I'll contact you later."
Annan was quite looking forward to meeting the members of the Holy Council for the first time...
Annan went to see Itilia next door again. The trip to the south did not bring any changes to her life. On the other hand, Layla stepped on the stairs and ran up.
“Why didn’t you answer when I called you!” Leila complained to Annan, without any joy of meeting again after a long absence.
"When did you call me?" Annan had no impression.
“You’re on deck!”
Annan tried to recall, it seemed that there was a small boat floating in the bay when entering the harbor...
After Leila finished speaking, she left angrily.
“What’s wrong with her?”
Itilia said with a smile: “I think she should blame you for causing her not to catch a fish.”
“ That’s not surprising.”
He also likes to lean on Lily when he messes up something.
When Annan saw the documents on the table recording finances, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "How much money did I earn?"
"Only counting the income from the south, in April when you were at sea we Earned 143,000 gold coins.”
Including the slowdown in Middle-earth and the North, the amount is close to 200,000 gold coins...
Annan is "accepting" the inheritance of the Violet Kingdom. I have seen treasures from time to time. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins paved the mountain of gold, which was more than enough for Ilimoyas to lie on.
It only takes two months for Liberty City to make that much money. No one can sit still. Annan earns more money in a month than many big families earn in a generation...
This makes Liberty City coveted. It is said that every eight people who visit Liberty City One of the tourists in the city is a thief.
Fortunately, Liberty City spends money faster. The arcane energy core and orichalcum are like a bottomless pit. Even if a legendary thief breaks into the treasure house with extraordinary powers, he will only see dust and cobwebs.

"The capacity of a pool is 1000 liters. A water pipe discharges water into the pool at a rate of 100 liters per hour. At the same time, the pool drains water out of the pool at a rate of 95 liters per hour. When will the pool be full?"
Annan knocked on the door of the classroom where there were more orcs, goblins, but more humans. He apologized and said to the teacher who looked at him: "Sorry, I'm looking for someone."
"You are too polite. ..." The middle-aged man who was specially hired as a teacher because of his talent in mathematics replied.
Annan came to the back row: "Aunt Susan asked me to tell you to go to the City Lord's Mansion in the evening."
Before coming to school, Annan went to Aunt Susan's place. She wanted to prepare a sumptuous table of dishes, so Annan simply asked Aunt Susan and her family to go to the city lord's mansion to have a dinner together.
"Who are you?"
Martin's words stunned Annan.
"Ahem...Martin, he is Annan." The math teacher had to remind him.
Martin's voice became louder: "My cousin is adventuring in the south, who are you!!!"
"I'm back from the south."
"Oh." Martin suppressed his shock, "I'm in class, can you not disturb me?"
"My fault."
Annan exited the classroom and looked back suspiciously .
Why do you seem dumber than three years ago...
About ten minutes later, the students walked out of the classroom. They greeted Annan with admiration and respect. Annan responded one by one and watched Martin walk up to them.
In the past, he didn't notice because they were together day and night. After four months of separation this time, Annan was surprised to find that Martin was taller and had a sparse beard growing on his lips, and he was about to look like an adult.
Only myself, what I was like three years ago is what I am now, as if time has frozen on me...
"Cousin, the teacher taught us a new word today..."
Annan looked at Martin who was talking to the air: "Who were you talking to just now?"
Martin looked out the window again.
After finally coaxing Martin home, Annan went to visit Mr. Victor.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Mr. Victor didn’t say anything harsh: “Are you still going out?”
Annan thought for a while: “Not sure yet...”
The affairs in the south have not been settled yet, and there is still Khamis VI who needs to be contacted, but Annan does not need to go there in person - a journey takes a year, not counting the way back, which is a waste of time.
"Always busy, when will you become a master." Victor snorted, and couldn't stand Annan's waste of talent.
"Making Liberty City glorious is more important than me becoming a master." Annan had to say, "Will you come to the banquet tonight?"
"I understand."
That night, all Annan Familiar people came to the city lord's mansion and gathered around the long table burning with candlelight.
On the surface it was to welcome Annan back, but in fact it was to bring together everyone who was busy with their own affairs.
Annan is an important link that unites everyone in Liberty City. While Annan was away, although they would not have any disagreements, they could only do business.
After welcoming Annan back, the bard put down his wine glass and sighed: "The war is about to break out, but we are celebrating here."
"War?"
