Mr. Fast is a good man, the Bard is a good man, and Mr. Victor has an eccentric temper but is also a good man.

Annan remembered what everyone had taught him:

Keep your distance from the nobility, don't be corrupted by desire, and control yourself and power.

At this time, Annan stood in front of the vanity mirror, wearing a black slim-fitting dress that resembled a tuxedo. The eyes under the messy black hair were clear and pure, haunting the temperament of an invisible warlock.

No wonder Aunt Susan would say that Annan must have been a nobleman or a prince.

Frankly, Annan, accustomed to coarse linen clothes and raunchy trimming, was a little uncomfortable with this delicate look. But there's no need to make yourself disgraced just to hide it.

In particular, it is said that the wine lady also participates in the dinner.

"Sir, allow me to be honored by this garment that you can wear on your body......"

The female manager of the clothing store looked at Annan like a dream girl, especially when he blushed shyly from the compliment.

"How much does this outfit cost?"

"This wool gown from Lund costs only 15 ...... 10 credits. ”

Annan, who had just been shocked by the price of the magic scroll, subconsciously felt cheap, and in a blink of an eye, he came to his senses again - 10 silver coins were enough to buy hundreds of pounds of black bread.

Glancing at Fast, who was leaning against the window and looking at the street, Annan whispered, "Can I rent?" ”

"Of course you can, the price ...... You can wear it for free! ”

"Thank you, I'll be sure to wash it up and send it back."

"Can't be washed!" The sudden scream made Fast look back, and the female store manager coughed lightly and explained: "The wool produced in Lund needs special washing, you can send it after you wear it." ”

"Okay."

Annan nodded ignorantly.

Back in the car, as the carriage drove away from the clothing store and reluctant to look away, Annan asked Fast, still in the yellowed shirt stained with greasy stains:

"Why don't you dress like this?"

"Because everyone in town knows I'm a warrior, and that's how a rude warrior should be."

Fast lives up to people's stereotypes.

……

The Rich Street is located in the center of the town, and the mayor's mansion is located in the center of the Rich Street. Although the heart of this town of Pinglin is not heavily guarded, a small number of professionals are arranged here.

All the nobles, the rich, and part of the middle class in the town were invited to the dinner, and it was full of well-dressed people who didn't know each other.

Cakes, fruits, and cooked products are placed on the banquet table. The food that these guests didn't want to care about made Annan care. And to make matters worse, his outstanding appearance made him the center of attention again - at least many of the guests around him were whispering about which nobleman Annan was.

It was the mayor who showed up to draw the eye. The mayor of the town whom Annan first met was Axela Perez, a native of Praunzi County, whose father was the chief of guard of the eighty-sixth king of the kingdom of Rikaner.

It stands to reason that the descendants of the palace guards should continue to serve the royal family in the royal capital, as the bard once guessed that his father should have offended......

The mayor, whose hair was already mixed with silver threads, and who was about to enter old age, first welcomed the guests and then talked about the tax revenue of Hirabayashi Town in the first quarter of this year.

Annan was finally able to look around while grabbing two grapes and stuffing them in his mouth, or cutting off a piece of cake to enjoy.

This behavior caused him to be the first to notice the Wine Lady and Lindy who had entered the door, and as soon as he took the cream off his lips, he heard the mayor's speech: "—A young warlock has awakened in our town. ”

Many eyes at the banquet were cast on Annan.

Fortunately, Annan put down the cake in advance.

"Allow me to announce that Annan is an honorary citizen of Pinglin Town."

The applause rang out, and Annan saw Fast's gesture and walked to the stage with his eyes in the face.

"I am impressed by your youth and handsomeness." Axela Pérez said appreciatively.

"You've won a prize."

"Your Excellency Annan, can I do anything for you?"

Of course, and a lot.

Annan had a long list in his mind, ranging from simple gold coins to heavy magic materials and scrolls, but he couldn't say it.

"Aunt Susan's family still lives in a very shabby place."

"Leave it to me."

Axela Pérez patted Annan on the shoulder affectionately and greeted the other guests. The mayor exercised restraint and showed no obvious signs of wooing.

Not only the mayor of the town, but also other aristocratic and wealthy people rarely took the initiative to talk to Annan, and even the son of the rich man, Horn, was hiding from him.

"Because Mr. Victor and I helped you block it."

Annan told Fast his doubts, and he replied.

"There are only twenty-four professionals resident in the town. Eight worked for the mayor, thirteen for the nobles, one for me, half for Mister Victor, and the other half for the bard. ”

"And another?"

Then Fast looked at Annan.

In any case, at least Annan didn't have to worry about being disturbed at the banquet and not being able to eat.

But it was not entirely unnoticed by Annan. A young figure beside Mayor Axela Pérez seemed to pay special attention to him, always observing. When Annan pretended to inadvertently swept past the mayor and him, the observation disappeared again.

Annan confirmed that he did not know him and had no impression.

"By the way, can you read this?"

Thinking of something, Annan took out a note and asked Fast.

Fast turned his head from side to side, frowned, and said, "It's like some fork in the road......"

A fork in the road?

Annan suddenly thought of the haunted gold mine where Tasia had stayed for a long time, and then found a fork on the "branch".

So this "cross" represents......

Horn, who came with his son Horn, interrupted Annan's thoughts, and he apologized to Annan and Fast on behalf of his son, and wanted to compensate Annan by donating a batch of books to the library in his own name.

Annan really wanted to say that he would not refuse to send money......

Horn and his son left, and Lindy came over with the gift box.

"My aunt asked me to bring it to you." Lindy casually handed the gift to Annan, "Congratulations on becoming a warlock. ”

"Thank you."

Annan opened the gift box, and there was a mage robe neatly stacked inside. Look up at the banquet and find the wine lady talking to Sir Shaun. The heavy makeup accentuates her three-dimensional features, making it difficult to take her eyes off.

As if sensing the gaze, the wine lady turned her head and pursed the corner of her lips to raise her glass.

There was also an episode at the banquet. As Annan was picking food in the corner, he heard a jealous whisper wafting from the terrace. Said that his tone had a sour tone of a countryman's poverty.

Annan deliberately stepped into the terrace, frightened the two young men into shutting their mouths and hurriing away.

Late at night, the banquet ended, and Annan and Fast returned to the cold street after the rain with the crowd.

It's like a dream of warmth and luxury. When you wake up from your dream, you're left with a cold reality.

Annan touched his pocket, and the route map of the haunted gold mine that Tasia gave him before leaving was heartwarming.
