Before he could finish speaking, Annan suddenly ran into a soft embrace that could not breathe. The image of an insect falling into a spider web and getting entangled tighter and tighter appeared in his mind.
"You still need to study..."
"I can hold little Annan and study."
The fanatical elf mentor buried his head in his black hair and gasped. Annan thought again that he had held a kitten transformed from a golden dragon like this... Does it like this?
"Ah... the tower master... asked me to come..."
"Tower Master?"
The elf mentor let go of Annan and released a "power word" to shut up Annan who was about to lie.
It's really hard to fool a high-level mage.
Soon after, Annan walked out of the room disheveled. He first tidied his messy black hair in the unmanned corridor, used the cleaning technique to tidy up the mage's robe, restored his elegant aristocratic posture, left the mage tower, and drove to the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.
During the turbulent years when the gods lost contact, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth was one of the few unaffected churches because of their teachings and wealth.
This kind of gentle, orderly church rarely causes turmoil, such as the Church of the Goddess of Fertility and the Church of the Earth Mother. It happens that Breeze City only has these churches. The further south you go, the more prosperous and the more churches there are. According to the bard, those in the south
A city-state with a population of one million, countless churches, esoteric sects, and sects with extreme doctrines are doing Khorne's deeds just to get the gods to pay attention again.
"The goddess of wealth welcomes you, King of the North."
The nun brought the priest Annan had met.
"That's good." Annan responded and told the pastor what happened to him.
"This is indeed strange. Mr. King of the North, have you encountered anything recently?"
Encountered a lot... Annan thought, but before seeing the blue dragon, those dragon hunting teams - Annan suddenly remembered the pink blood mist that erupted from the injured female warrior and the charming words on the road.
"This sounds like the work of a succubus," the priest said.
"Succubus?"
Speaking of this, Annan's energy became concentrated, and then he was annoyed that he didn't realize it at the time and passed by the succubus twice.
"These minions from the abyss always want to get involved in our world." The priest comforted Annan who showed regret, "Don't worry, the goddess has no time to lower her gaze for the time being, but we still have rare magical scrolls to remove the curse for you..."
"How much?"
"A low-level purification magic scroll should be able to solve the problem. We recommend that you choose a medium-level purification magic scroll, which also has the effects of protecting skin, whitening, and enhancing durability."
"So how much is it?"
"Because you are the King of the North, we will only charge you 29 gold coins."
"...Will there be any negative effects on me if the curse is not removed?"
"Don't worry, this curse can't make you a succubus——"
…
"——At most, let me say some uncontrollable words occasionally."
In the study room of the city lord's palace, Annan and Olmedo complained.
"Did you remove the curse?"
"No, that's too expensive."
29 kinaar, which is almost the annual expenses of 29 families. Annan still cannot accept this luxury.
Olmedo sipped the hot tea with great interest: "Try to say a few words?"
"Lord of Breeze City, please respect yourself."
After joking for a while, Olmedo suddenly said seriously: "Annan, you are the King of the North."
Annan didn't know why Olmedo suddenly said this.
"Can you imagine that the old head of the Lawrence family had to do everything himself? Even I can't do everything myself."
"A king in the north should be steady and powerful."
"It's more efficient to do it in person, and..." Annan hesitated, "They all have their own things to be busy with."
Uncle Holly mingled with the woodcutters, and Aunt Susan with the working girls.
Mr. Fast and Evelyn have to keep the tavern open so the citizens have something to do at night.
The bard wanders around Breeze City all day long, working hard for "Betal's Redemption" and promotion to the elite.
Mr. Victor worked hard to guard the library under the blazing sun.
Soruman Bronzebeard didn't even have time to transport wine, and was immersed in the blacksmith shop making tools.
Andrew Luna travels back and forth between the Morrowind Tavern and the Morrowind Tavern branch.
After Francois, Lorna and Ingrid came back, they were busy with the development of Xingyue Bay;
One of West and Claudia was running business with a businessman, and the other was meditating hard.
Even Martin was studying swordsmanship with Fast all day long, and then Fast enchanted his sword because he always put enchantments on it.
Outstanding territorial citizens such as Losey and Kerrian also assumed responsibilities.
Only Annan, the lord of Xingyue Bay, had nothing to do.
As for why you go to Fortune Church in person instead of having the pastor of Fortune Church come to your door...that's because the price is more expensive.
Annan was willing to spend a thousand gold coins to take magical images, and happily threw a thousand gold coins to Michael to refine gunpowder, but he could not accept spending money on meaningless things.
"Stop talking about me, did Grogda help me investigate?"
Olmedo pointed to the pile of books at the corner of the table: "They're all there."
Annan picked up the top book, "The Adventures of Oakham," and the bookmark between the pages saved him from rummaging through it himself.
[...Occam popped his head out of the swamp, and what did he see? A brightly colored village, but instead of people, the village was filled with fanged, brown-skinned, and thick orcs! 】
[The orcs discovered Occam and dragged him out of the mud. Occam tried to escape but failed. The orcs tied him to a wooden frame and built a bonfire——]
Annan was turning to the next page with anticipation when he suddenly realized that he was not here to read the story.
"Captain of the guard!"
Calling the captain of the guard outside the door, he asked him to take away the stack of books, "I need information about Grogda in recent years."
Annan, who calmly ordered Olmedo's people, sat back on the sofa.
"What do you think of the school I proposed earlier?"
The school in Xingyue Bay was already under construction. Annan described the benefits of the school and made her realize the importance of the school.
A worker can only sell his physical strength. Woodcutter, farmer, fisherman, miner... But a literate worker can do more and do better.
Literate farmers know how to increase crop yields, fishermen know when to catch fish, woodcutters know which trees are valuable and easy to chop down, miners know when to run—
Of course, Annan was waiting for Breeze's literacy rate to increase so that he could naturally promote the newspaper.
A normal newspaper should contain: news that is more real than the gossip in the tavern, the happenings around the town, the recruitment of professional mercenary teams and the recruitment of workers, news and news about the North, the Kingdom of Rekaner and even the continent of Allen.
The valuable knowledge that can only be learned in the Mage Tower can also be used to wipe your butt. Isn’t such a newspaper expensive to sell for 10 copper coins?
