Rumors mainly revolve around blue dragons, ogres and orcs.
The existence of the blue dragon cannot be concealed - Annan knows this very well. Even if everyone keeps it a secret, "I only tell my friends" is enough to spread the news in Breeze City.
There is no problem for the King in the North to meet a blue dragon from the evil camp, as long as he doesn't show up in Breeze City arrogantly, but
The Adventure Association and the Mercenary Guild briefly placed bounties on the blue dragon, but Olmedo removed them as city lord.
The ogres and orcs have a misunderstanding about "Annan has a soft spot for foreign races".
Annan frowned because he was wronged: "I don't like ogres and orcs."
So you're not going to clarify that you have a soft spot for foreign races? Doubts came to Olmedo's mind.
In short, because Annan lived a very cautious life, and there is evidence from "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower": Look, Jack sacrificed himself for Rose, and you actually said that he likes aliens?
The most people in Breeze City could only discuss was that the King of the North didn't hate aliens, and that aliens and half-humans had a good impression of Annan.
"Who do you think is behind this?"
"Gama."
Annan couldn't think of any other enemies, so it would be better to bully Gema himself instead of whoever bullied him.
"By the way, help me investigate the history of Xingyue Bay. I suspect that Gema's purpose in coveting my territory is not simple."
Annan is preparing to spread the news that Gemma is a rat man in Breeze City. If he can't offend Augusta, why can't he offend you?
"Help me buy another thousand gold coins of food and tools."
These days, Fire Crow always brings the urging of the second sister, sometimes with the feelings of the family, sometimes with the help of the people to endure hunger and cold, or with pure threats.
Annan is preparing to transport some supplies back. The raging rat plague before the autumn harvest has reduced food production. This winter is not easy to live with. The population of Osu Lund is declining, which is an opportunity to recruit refugees.
Olmedo didn’t say Annan wasn’t really Levi’s, because this kind of caring about the people around her was one of the things she admired:
"Your money will be spent quickly."
"Only the kinnar spent will generate value." Annan planned to say this to everyone who talked to him about money, and then waited for a "Oh my God, this sentence is full of philosophy."
"How long do you plan to stay with the Reeves family?"
"...I will come back as soon as possible."
Annan didn't want to deceive or hurt Itilia and Leila, so it was better to stay away than to be separated.
Then they talked about some things about Xingyue Bay. Annan said that Ingrid was good at sorting out finances and recorded every day's expenses in detail. "Do you want to stay?" Olmedo asked, and Annan replied: "Moreover.
It depends on what she thinks."
This is the second one.
Shortly after Annan left with Dina, Olmedo called the guards, "Call Uncle Blom over."
Not long after, a weathered figure wearing plate armor covered with knife and ax carvings walked into the office.
"Uncle Blom, I need you to escort Annan to Osulund. Protect him. If the Reeves family wants to do harm to him..."
"Leave it to me, miss."
…
Annan ran to the mage tower to find Michael. For the sake of 500 gold coins, Michael and the mage apprentice had been immersed in repeated alchemical experiments for several days.
Michael held a failed product that was closest to Annan's requirements. It was not hard enough but in the right direction. Annan should be able to refine cement with the right hardness before he came back.
Next, Annan returned to the manor and encountered Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin quarreling, which was quietly resolved by his arrival.
Mr. Fast is teaching Martin how to practice swordsmanship for the first time - starting with being beaten.
"There will also be a tavern in Xingyue Bay soon." Annan hoped that Mr. Fast would move there.
He had no reason to refuse. The beachside tavern was much better than the dilapidated taverns in the town, especially since Annan threatened to send Martin to Pinglin Town if he refused to go.
Finally, I told Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin that I would take them to Star-Moon Bay after they were brought back from Osurund, and Annan came to Winchet Manor.
"Our sweet brother is back? I guessed that it was you who asked those poor people to come here." Ms. Wine was wearing a purple gauze dress today, with delicate makeup and mature charm. "I like your phrase 'In Pulang'
In Enci County, there are wines from the wine ladies everywhere.'"
Annan blushed slightly because the wine lady said she liked him.
"Annan?"
A cold voice came from the stairs, and Lindy came to the living room.
"You should call me uncle," said the Wine Lady's brother.
Lindy remained indifferent and turned to leave. Annan guessed that she must not have watched "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" yet.
"I seem to feel a magic whirlpool..."
The wine lady showed a gentle smile: "Lindy became a mage two days ago."
It seems that the Wine Lady plans to make Lindy the heir to the family.
Annan went to visit the temporarily sheltered refugees and told them frankly that he was the King of the North, promising to give them food and warm shelter, allowing them to win over more homeless poor people.
After finishing all matters in Breeze City, Annan set out again and met the knights waiting for him at the city gate.
"Master Annan, Miss Olmedo asked me to protect you as you go to the Reeves family." A vicissitudes of life and old knight lowered his head.
"All right……"
The knight who calls himself Blom is a retainer of the Olmedo family, otherwise he would not know the true identity of Olmedo.
Dina's lips suddenly moved, and Blom paused, then abruptly changed his words: "Miss Olmedo is... the cousin of the Lord of the City."
Dina couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and Annan, who knew that Olmedo was an only child, deliberately teased: "The cousin of Olmedo you are talking about is Olmedo, Olmedo, or Olmedo is just right?"
It's just that the old-fashioned Blom is neither good at lying nor joking.
"Let's go." Annan said relaxedly.
Blom mounted his horse, and this team of heavily armored knights wearing plate armor protected the carriage, blocking the view of the outside world, and drove away from Breeze City.
They returned to Pinglin Town on the second day of departure. Annan couldn't wait to visit Mr. Victor, but was kicked out by the stubborn old man holding a cane - probably because of Annan's late night visit.
I stood outside the door and said goodbye to Mr. Victor before continuing my journey, passing by the dark haunted gold mine. The rest of the journey was no longer familiar, surrounded by only the vast forest and snowy scenery.
The team is safe, neither beast nor tribe is stupid enough to attack a heavy armored cavalry.
On the fifth day of departure, Annan successfully advanced to Level 3 Warlock.
Now he can cast three first-level spells or two second-level spells in succession.
The low-level elemental summoning and low-level undead summoning magic scrolls that Annan carried were prepared for this moment, but he had to hurry and wait until he got to Osurund to see what he could summon.
What follows is a boring journey, occasionally passing through villages without going in, and only taking a break when passing through towns.
On the twentieth day of departure, the forest on both sides of the road finally disappeared, and under the gray clouds, the Osu Lund Territory, located on the endless snowfield, appeared in front of us.
