Francois contacted Catalina and Klein; Michael went to the Mercenary Hall and the Adventure Association to recruit guards; Annan led the envoy cavalry back to the manor to arrange for them to rest, and then told the ogres and orcs about tomorrow's departure.
"I like sweets." The ogre said for no reason, and after Annan looked at it, he said, "But I don't mind improving the taste."
Annan looked at the ogre's thick, dirt-free skin thoughtfully, and prepared to get a set of armor for the ogre, but now he only had time to work on a piece of leather armor to block stray arrows and cuts.
Then Annan came to the study to prepare a reply to be sent "home" - he could not say nothing. When the news came back to Osu Lund, they would definitely ask "Why didn't you tell us?"
Annan first prepared a letter describing the incident in vague terms, but instead of giving it to Huo Ya to take back, he wrote a second letter.
The distance between Breeze City and the Reeves family caused a lag of about a month in spreading the news. The longer Annan delayed, the more prepared he became.
The second letter is to tell "family" that the Ratmen in Breeze City are attacking frequently, and there are endless conspiracies against themselves. Don't believe any news from outside the Fire Crow, and don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it——
Augusta Olmedo's foreseeable arrangement forced Annan to remind the two sisters that maybe the news that "your brother is dead and the impostor is swindling" has been sent to the Reeves family.
When Francois came over, Annan's eyes looked a little lonely: "We can't hide it for too long."
"Annan... Sir, you don't understand the nobility."
Francois honored Annan for the first time: "No matter how great the glory is, it will decay, and the most powerful legend will fade away. The natural gods who once gave birth to the world are now only the goddess of the sea who has not yet slept. The emperor who conquered the continent has been in a short life."
It collapsed and dissipated within a hundred years, and even the names of the rulers and powerful ethnic groups who ruled the world in ancient times have been annihilated. In the eternal river of time, the continuation of the bloodline is the only truth."
"You exist, so the Reeves family exists. If you are no longer Levis, the Reeves family will also be removed from the Twelve Kings of the North... Why don't that woman and her adulterer dare to kill me? Because as long as
If I die, the Lundsey family will be eliminated, and the wealth and treatment they enjoy will disappear."
"In order to continue the family, they have no choice but to recognize your identity. They may even combine with you to give birth to the blood of the Reeves family."
"They are my 'sisters'."
"But that's not true..." Francois said seriously: "You helped them find the murderer, and you also gave them supplies to tide them over, and those letters... Your help to them will earn them gratitude and make the false
The family love becomes real.”
This statement relieved Annan's anxiety a little, and then Annan kicked Francois out and asked him to get a full-body leather armor for the ogre.
Before Michael came back, Annan went to the city lord's mansion first.
Olmedo, who already knew about this, put down his quill: "I'm sorry... My father's original intention was good, but none of us were prepared for what happened next."
Unintentionally engaging in meaningless arguments with Olmedo about "your father is a rat spy", "my father can't be a rat spy!", "your father is really a rat spy", Annan went straight to Olmedo.
Almedo asks for help:
"The Skaven will not allow me to reach the territory safely. I need an escort."
"good."
After Annan left, Olmedo called his guard captain: "You are here to lead the team, and you must safely escort Annan to Glacier Bay, and..."
There was a hint of worry in Olmedo's blue eyes, which were the same as his father's.
"Don't choose people from the family."
…
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Annan came to the scavenger headquarters.
"The Skaven will not allow me to reach the territory unscathed. I need some help."
The centurion said that he would send a team of scavengers to accompany him - Annan's four temporary teammates.
"The rat people bite me viciously and curse me to sleep every night. My way to the territory is the best time for them to deal with me."
"There are only three centurions in Breeze City, and you actually want to take one away?" The centurion complained about Annan's greed, "Okay, I will let a guy join you."
Coming out of the scavenger headquarters, Annan pondered where he could get help.
I thought of the elf mentor, but gave up.
If he owed any more favors, he would really have to pledge himself to repay them.
On the way, Annan met Michael, who was leading a bald man with a fierce aura. He patted his plate armor to show respect to Annan.
Renault, the reckless man, is the leader of the Lion Mercenary Group and a master warrior. There are five elite professionals and fourteen professionals in the mercenary group.
Michael entrusted them with escorting Annan for 500 gold coins.
Annan thought about where to go next, and agreed with Renaud, the reckless man, to set off from the manor tomorrow morning. He went back to the felt tent with Michael, and then went to the Laurentian family.
"The rat people will not allow me to arrive safely in the territory. I would like to borrow an escort from you."
Annan said, handing the magic stone to the old maid.
"What a good boy..." The old maid looked at Annan happily.
The old head of the family snorted coldly: "Your sister is still hungry and cold, but you are still having fun with magic images?"
"I do not understand……"
"Five days ago, a group of chilling ghouls attacked Osurond Territory." The old maid said gently.
"They didn't tell me..."
The letters these days are just routine.
"Because they don't want you to worry."
"Has the Lawrencet family passed through the caravan led by Osu Lund?" Annan asked, and after receiving the reply, he said: "I will send a thousand gold coins later. I hope the caravan can help deliver the money to the family."
"The twelve families in the north help each other, leave it to us." The old maid agreed on behalf of the old family master.
The old patriarch didn't mind her overstepping and snorted coldly: "Boy, what about your territory?"
"It's not less than this thousand gold coins."
"I'm annoyed when I see you. Lead a group of guards from outside and get out!"
Annan was almost used to the temper of his old master, so he led a group of guards from the stone forest: a team of twenty elite warriors.
As he led them away, Annan suddenly stopped and looked at the fortress-like Laurentian family manor behind him.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering...will the old master know my identity already?"
…
In the early morning breeze, the city was shrouded in mist. Annan wore a fur outside his mage robe and looked at the team outside the manor.
Two master professionals, dozens of elite professionals, nearly a hundred well-trained soldiers and private soldiers, scavengers, mercenaries, and two elite envoys.
They reflect the identity of the King of the North of Annan, and at the same time, they also foreshadow——
How could something unexpected happen on this pioneering trip?
