The cheers and applause shook the garden auditorium, except for the falling flowers, otherwise this scene was like the return of a warrior who defeated an evil dragon.
"Freeman! Welcome out of jail!"
"You are good!"
"Where's Andy? Let's see Andy!"
The gazes cast by the nobles were no longer the disgust and confusion they had seen before. They looked at the old orc as if they were looking at Freeman.
This is the emotion that a wonderful story will bring to the audience, and nobles who have not been exposed to magical images will have difficulty distinguishing it from reality.
Annan smiled back reservedly, and the old orc expressed his nostalgia. A similar scene in his memory was when he was caught by humans when he was a child, put in a cage and thrown into the market, and was watched by curious residents.
While Mrs. Winter was still there, Annan promoted the record magic stone to the nobles who were still recalling the story: the record magic stone for recording "Betal's Redemption" was originally priced at 100 gold coins, but can be purchased now for only 90 gold coins.
This person is not aristocratic at all, but like an out-and-out businessman. But the King of the North, Lady Winter, and "Freeman" are enough to make the nobles squeeze in front of the piled magic stones, wave their money bags and say, take my money.
.
Annan took the opportunity to harvest money from the nobles. Regardless of the feelings brought by the story or the goodwill towards Freeman, they will become more rational as time goes by. By then, they will not only feel that spending 90 gold to buy the magic stone is not worth it, but also feel that it is not worth it for a watcher.
It's stupid to spend so many jinnar on an invisible orc.
The garden hall behind the premiere naturally turned into a banquet. Annan asked the old orc to continue to guard potential customers at the banquet, and first returned to the deputy warden's mansion to urge everyone to pack their things.
They have to prepare to run away.
The relationship between Annan and the Diatra family is ambiguous, and they have provoked succubi, vampires and mercenary groups, and they have also had an affair with the Vault. Until now, everything is still fine and they rely on the protection of Mrs. Winter. But with Mrs. Winter leaving tomorrow,
Annan will face the dangers from the outside world.
Either expose the elemental army or leave - Annan chose the latter. Anyway, the affairs of Betar City were basically completed except for investigating Gema.
Annan came to the orphanage first. "Betal's Redemption" was a bit complicated for children who had difficulty concentrating, so they ran to sleep or play halfway through.
Let Francois and Joan bring the children back to the official residence. It will be next year to meet Ms. Mia again. Annan told her that she can go to Xingyue Bay to meet them.
Then he ran to the dungeon, released the innocent and aliens, and sent the prisoners who were not guilty enough to die to the first floor, telling them that they still had a chance to redeem themselves.
As for resigning, it is just a matter of passing words.
Annan returned to the official residence. This single-family house, which was only slightly larger, could no longer accommodate so many people.
"You brought too many people back..." Francois said.
"I don't think it's much at all."
The children and prisoners sent to Xingyue Bay were only a drop in the bucket. Together, they could only make the population of Xingyue Bay exceed 2,000, approaching a small town.
Annan can't wait to return to Xingyue Bay and squander the massive gold coins earned from this trip to Betar to build more houses, complete city walls, harbors, schools, research and development... It is said that the clock tower imitating the mage tower is also nearing completion.
——The originally planned height of 10 meters was later changed to 30 meters because it is similar to the mansion building. It should be nearly completed.
And build more wonders!
Statistics of the gains from this trip to Betar City:
There are more than 60 magic stones in "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", more than 50 magic stones in "Betal's Redemption", more than a dozen gold coins every day in the theater, and their sales are still increasing;
High dungeon walls that cost a thousand gold coins but cost only a few gold coins from workers;
cement selling at five times the price;
A population of hundreds consisting of children, adults and aliens;
The friendship between Lady Winter, Lady Mia and the nobles;
Claudia who kept the cost of the magic stone to a minimum.
Before opening the portal, Annan once again invited Tina Wright to join Star-Moon Bay. Although fraudsters and illusionists are not difficult to find, two cooperations allowed Tina to fully understand Annan's thoughts.
Tina Wright rejected Annan's invitation and stole his money and ran away. Fortunately, Annan didn't have the habit of bringing too much money, and only a few gold coins and a few silver coins were stolen.
"There is a kind of bird that should not be kept in a cage, because every one of its wings is stained with the glory of freedom~" Francois, who disguised himself as "Astolfo" from his appearance to his voice, joked, Annan
His response was to prepare a bowl of kerosene and confetti and throw them in his face.
He's endured it for too long.
After opening the portal, the children curiously came to Breeze City from Betar City, followed by the prisoners and the aliens who were unable to fight. The remaining aliens would leave with Annan.
The mansion was empty again, but the kitten was gone. When Annan thought it had escaped through the portal, he found the kitten huddled in his warden uniform.
The kitten was found, but there was still one person missing: the elf mentor.
When he opened the portal for the second time and moved the whole box of gold coins, Annan said doubtfully: "We didn't find the elf mentor..."
"Teacher Irelanze is proficient in the art of transformation. Maybe she is disguising herself like Francois?"
Olmedo's words made Annan and Francois think of something, and they both raised their heads and looked in the direction of the bedroom - the kitten was lying in the clothes on the bed at this time.
Thinking of Annan and kittens living in the same room these days... this kind of thing is terrifying and indescribable.
Annan and Francois tiptoed to the bedroom, and solemnly said to the kitten lying on the bed napping: "We already know...can you change back?"
The kitten glanced at them lazily, a little regretful, and a little helpless. Its vertical pupils suddenly turned golden, and its shape began to change, and it spoke in common language:
"I'm just a golden dragon passing by."
A shrunken miniature golden dragon appeared on the bed, flapped its wings and flew out of the window, leaving Annan and Francois stunned in the cold wind.
After the bard learned about this, he said: "The golden dragon is like this, suddenly breaking into your life like a mischievous goblin. Their sense of justice makes them like to "make trouble" everywhere. As long as you don't do bad things, you don't have to be afraid of them.
If you do good deeds, you will be rewarded."
Annan felt regretful. If he had known that the kitten was a golden dragon, he would have hugged it all day long and said good things about Xingyue Bay. Maybe Xingyue Bay would have a second dragon nest...
So who is the elf mentor?!
The next day, Annan, who was ready, set off in the early morning. They happened to meet Mrs. Winter's motorcade. They briefly met in the city and moved forward together along the streets where people avoided.
"When will you come to Xingyue Bay to take a look?"
"There will come a day."
Farewell to each other, the two convoys separated at the fork in the road, with Annan heading north and Lady Winter's convoy heading east.
