Chapter 773 4. Newspaper Barracks
On the surface, magic images have the largest audience, but in fact the most popular ones are magic newspapers.
It is of high quality and low price. It only costs 1 silver coin per serving. Even ordinary workers can buy one with gritted teeth. There is no limit on the number of people. Enriching people's boring lives with those imitators.
Nowadays, there are at least dozens of magic newspapers popping up in Middle-earth. The price ranges from the cheapest ordinary newspaper with a few copper coins to a magic newspaper with more than ten gold coins that can broadcast like a magic image. The types also range from From the serious "Empire" on current affairs to the popular "Tavern Midnight Stories", the sales of "The Voice of Liberty", which is famous as the first newspaper in Allenland, have been steadily increasing.
Evelin contributed a lot to this.
Even when Annan asked her what she wanted, Evelin's answer was "I want to give you an exclusive interview!".
"What interview?"
"The story of your crew during the filming of "500 Years of Love", and the ambiguity between the Scarlet Queen and the Crimson Princess mother and daughter."
"Why do interviews? No one likes to read behind-the-scenes stories."
"But what if it's 'Ruth interviews Jack who plays Dracula and flirts with a vampire woman'?"
>
"What are these..."
Annan became increasingly unable to withstand Evelin's sharpness, and missed the freckled girl behind the counter who blushed at every turn.
While looking around, Annan saw "The Glory of Ruikan'er" placed on the table. The title of the first edition was: Epic Victory on the Northern Front!
"They actually blocked the rat-men? Won't they secretly make a deal with the rat-men again?"
"Not this time."
Annan picked up the newspaper. The news said that the Northern Front had annihilated hundreds of thousands of rats at the cost of hundreds of casualties...
"Is it really a good news?" But Annan didn't believe it.
"Well, the only price is that they ran away as soon as the Skaven came and gave up the northern front to the Skaven."
"It sucks..."
Annan shook his head and threw the newspaper back on the table.
It would be better to let Martin go to the Kingdom of Rekaner to be the king than Crowe.
"Where is my Dracula? Dracula!"
Suddenly, a female voice sounded from outside the newspaper office. Annan and Evelin raised their heads and watched a guard running away Come in: "Lord Annan, a guest claims to be your movie fan and wants to see——"
"Dracula!"
A woman in luxurious clothes has broken in, Looking at Annan, his eyes glowed with substance as he walked quickly.
Evelin stood in front of Annan: "Don't be afraid, Jack, I, Ruth, will protect you this time!"
"Dracula, I...I want to see you...all in my dreams You!"
Annan smiled with courtesy and distance: "Thank you for your love."
"You know, how much I wish I was the reincarnation of Elizabeth, I want you. Love..."
Annan doesn't have much patience.
This woman is not ugly, and is even very attractive, but Annan has just returned from the land of eternal night where handsome men and beauties are everywhere, and it is difficult for this kind of "excellent human woman" to arouse his interest.
Signing to the guards not to kick people out, Annan was thinking about how to ask her to leave voluntarily without being offensive, when another voice sounded.
"Dad!"
A little girl ran into the newspaper office, threw herself into Annan's arms, raised her head and said coquettishly: "Why didn't you come to me when you went to school just now?"
"Well done."
Annan winked at Cathy and picked her up. But they look like brother and sister.
“You have a child?” the lady said in shock and disappointment.
"Yes, she is my daughter." Annan admitted.
After all, "Mother" entrusted Cathy and the children of Lilliput Town to herself.
The lady walked away in despair. Evelin looked at her back, thoughtfully: "I know she... seems to be a big clothing merchant."
"What? She's very rich?"
Evelin stared at Annan sideways: "It's too late to chase her now."
"Well...I was thinking, I'm back , why not hold a banquet and invite this lady over.”
Shashashasha—Evelin took out a notebook and started writing quickly.
"What are you writing?"
"The Lord of Liberty City asked the female clothing merchant to find him late at night..."
"What are you talking about? I mean the city wants to do business All the businessmen are invited.”
Shashashasha——
“What are you writing again?”
"The Lord of Liberty City invited many women to a banquet late at night..."
"I'm going to tell Mr. Fast!"
Evelin finally gave up the material, and Annan took Cathy into exile. And escape.
"Shall I take you back?" Annan asked.
"I want to follow you." Cathy took Annan's hand.
Annan simply led Cathy to the military camp.
On the way he met Wood who came out to deliver drinks. He stood in the shadow of the building and showed off to the girls around him: Of course I am a vampire
As he said that, he closed his mouth and brewed for a while, then opened his mouth, revealing his fangs and a mouth full of blood, attracting the girls Letting out a series of screams that were more exciting than frightening.
"Annan!"
At this time, Wood, who was immersed in popularity, saw Annan and waved to him. When the girls saw the real Dracula, they screamed and gathered around——
A few minutes later, Annan and Wood, who finally got away from the enthusiastic girls, walked in the shadows.
"You put all your vampire abilities into making girls happy?" Annan teased.
Wood said embarrassedly: "No, this is not a vampire ability."
Wood closed his mouth and pondered for a few seconds, then grinned and showed Annan the blood in his mouth. : "Some gums have been bleeding recently..."
"...You can continue to deliver goods."
Annan and Wood separated and took Cathy to the military camp.
Coming back after nearly three months, Annan learned that seven of the hundred-member elite team had become professionals.
This is a terrifying ratio, but the soldiers selected into the elite team are the soldiers with the most potential.
Their loyalty is still firm, and Luo Xi's words "You are fighting for Lord Annan!" make the elites feel like they have been given the blood of a dragon.
When Annan talked with them and asked one of them, "Why do you want to join the Legion?", his eyes flashed with hatred: "I am going to hurt those who have hurt me."
Annan patted him on the shoulder.
"There will be a chance."
After walking around the military camp, Cathy looked up at Annan: "Dad..."
"You can call me Annan."
"Okay. Annan, I'm tired."
"Then let's go back."
Annan asked for a carriage, took Cathy into the carriage, and drove the carriage back to the orphanage.
Driving through a street, the intersection guard looked at the carriage passing by and did not dare to stop it.
The guard captain who had just given directions to a tourist came over and scolded: "That carriage is running so fast on the street, why don't you stop it!"
"I don't Dare..."
"We are the defenders of the law and the protectors of the residents. Are you worthy of the Lord of the City?" The guard captain summoned his team members to catch up. "So who is the other party!"
"I don't know the big shot in the car. Who is it, but I know that his coachman is Mr. Annan!”
