Annan is like a country bumpkin coming to the big city for the first time.
Despite the fact that he was in a carriage, the carriage had the emblem of the Winchet family printed on it, and the emblem prompted passers-by to step aside.
I lay in front of the window in awe and looked at Breeze City: the spacious streets that accommodated eight carriages stretched straight, as if leading to the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The buildings here were tall and solid, and the houses with pitched roofs facing different directions disappeared as the clouds dispersed.
Shining brightly in the sun.
A strange shadow fell. Annan raised his head and saw two dragons waving their wings and casting shadows, gliding towards a majestic and tall mage tower standing in the northwest of the city.
Food, alcohol, candies and magic materials were sold in the windows next to the street. The smell of mixed spices entered the car, and even Tasia no longer looked at the "Bastard" that she had never left her hands on.
There are few professionals who can be seen in the busiest streets of the town all day long. Bards wearing hats with colorful feathers, priests spreading doctrines, dodging pedestrians and cars and horses can be seen everywhere.
Children, dusty mercenaries.
Annan even saw the longing elves - the elves who had appeared in Pinglin Town and left quietly as if they appeared quietly - they, or they were as beautiful as the legends, as beautiful as walking out of a painting. These elf rangers were dressed for ease of movement.
They were wearing leather armor, showing off their beautiful and vigorous figures, and some were wearing natural and luxurious robes. Their long pale golden hair was braided into thin braids, and they were adorned with sparkling jewelry.
"They are so beautiful..." Annan couldn't help shouting.
Soruman Bronzebeard's muffled hum sounded from behind, seeming to be mocking mankind's poor aesthetics.
"Are elves and goblins related?" Annan pointed at his ears and asked, "Their ears are all pointed..."
After the words fell, an elf ranger on the street turned his head sharply, his eyes like arrows shooting towards the car window... When he saw that it was just a beautiful boy sitting in the carriage, his hostility retreated slightly, and then he saw Wen Che in the car.
The special emblem disappears afterward.
An incident turned into nothingness, but Soruman Bronzebeard was more pleased with Annan.
She likes the saying that goblins and elves are related.
As the carriage approached the aristocratic area where the Winchet family lived, there were fewer and fewer people wearing simple and monotonous linen clothes, and correspondingly more and more passers-by wearing luxurious clothes.
Along the way, Annan did not see any products of the industrial age, such as steam cars or factory chimneys, which basically confirmed that industry in this world is still in its infancy.
Not long after, two carriages stopped at the door of a manor—this manor, located in the core of Breeze City and measuring acres, silently announced the status of the Winchet family.
Lindy got off the carriage and asked Annan and the others to stay outside before entering the manor with the female guard. Not long after, the female guard came to the carriage holding a box of books.
"The young lady said she wants to rest at the manor for a day. She asked you to meet here tomorrow afternoon."
Annan put the book box away, probably guessing that Lindy didn't want them to go in - mainly because she didn't want her aunt to meet her.
But she left the carriage to them. A carriage with the Winchet family emblem could solve many unnecessary troubles.
Annan and Tasia looked at each other and at the same time looked at Soruman Bronzebeard.
The female dwarf boasted all the way that Breeze City was as familiar as her dwarf bunker. Now, it was time to take them to the bunker to have a look.
…
Morrowind Tavern.
It sounds like it has something to do with Fast's Dawn Tavern, and in fact it does. In addition to Soruman Bronzebeard being the wine dealer here, the owner of the tavern was also a member of the secret society.
"But this coward quit the club when a legend stood against him."
After jumping off the carriage, the female dwarf pointed at the middle-aged man who was coming and said.
"Are you sure you want to make fun of me in front of your new friends?"
A middle-aged man with long hair smiled wryly and put his hand on his chest, greeting Annan and Tasia: "Andrew Luna."
"Annan, she is Tasia." The female dwarf introduced.
Andrew Luna's temperament is very much like that of a bard, especially the feathers on his collar. Annan guessed half of it right, the female dwarf said he was a melancholic poet.
"We are going to stay here for a day and prepare three rooms." Soruman Bronzebeard said unceremoniously.
"Come with me."
Andrew Luna looked at the carriage parked at the door and led them into the tavern.
When he stepped onto the steps of the second floor, Annan discovered that Andrew Luna was wearing curved shoes and a slightly exaggerated aristocratic dress, like a theater actor.
The room is fairly neat and clean, but because the walls are made of single-layer wood, soundproofing is a luxury. Fortunately, it's only morning.
Soruman Bronzebeard was reminiscing with Andrew Luna on the first floor. Tasia and Annan stayed in the room, watching him eagerly open the meditation method. After a while, he put down the precious meditation method with a strange look on his face.
"You can't understand?"
"no……"
This summoning meditation method does not have overly complex and difficult vocabulary, and is not even as good as many literary works that are full of rhetoric. The root of Annan's confusion is that meditation is not an ethereal and obscure "letting the consciousness perceive magic." It does provide clear steps.
But there is a precondition:
Meditation requires arranging rituals, and arranging rituals requires magic materials. The more expensive and advanced the magic materials are, the better the effect...
Of course, you can also skip the ceremony and just meditate...the cost is the time itself.
Bang bang——
Soruman Bronzebeard knocked on the door at this time: "I found out the location of the traveling merchant, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"certainly."
Annan, who was feeling sluggish due to the meditation ritual, was very inspired.
Tasia also got into the carriage, and they first went to the traveling merchant's location. They learned that the traveling merchant was still negotiating with the publishing house, so they took him there with them.
Near noon, the carriage stopped in front of the publishing house.
"You come with us." Annan and Soruman Bronzebeard said.
"You asked a dwarf to help negotiate?"
"I'm not familiar with anything here."
Tasia stayed on the carriage while Annan and the others walked into the publishing house, explained their purpose, and then went to the second floor of the publishing house. From here, they could see the street below and the carriage.
"This is the author of "The Law Breaks the Sky"," Youshang introduced.
""The Law Breaks the Sky" does not have the structure of a multi-act drama, but has thought-provoking narration and characters..."
"He told me the same thing..." You Shang lowered his voice.
At this time, the publishing house owner looked calmly at the carriage on the street below.
"However, the simple plot, many unprecedented innovations, and impressive characters show that this is an excellent work that can be sold."
The travel businessman was stunned. The deal he had been negotiating for several days was easily completed. "The Law Breaks the Sky" will be printed and sold within a month, and Annan will receive 60% of the net profit.
After Annan signed the contract with the publishing house owner, he politely asked Annan what his relationship was with the Winchet family.
