Section 73. Basement Horror

Visits to the estate by wine ladies became frequent.

This is not unusual, after all, the estate is the property of the Wincht family.

However, as Annan's presence slowly became known to the people of the city like a breeze, the wine lady who was too close to him was inevitably labeled as the Reeves family.

On a macro level, one of the Twelve Kings of the North is far more powerful than Breeze City. But if you count the strength of the Reeves family and the murderers who attacked the convoy, it is suspected that the Ormedo family...... The choice of the wine lady does not seem to be wise.

On this day, the wine lady who came to the manor also brought a month's worth of high-grade magic materials.

These things are worth more than the total number of gifts Annan had received the other day - no less than 2,000 gold coins.

"How are you going to work with these magical materials?" "They were sent by Augusta Olmedo. ”

Annan looked at Dela, who had returned from inspecting the van.

"No problem." She said.

Annan couldn't tell which of these magic materials was despicable and which was noble, so he simply said, "Then sell them and buy the same materials back." ”

Although there will be some difference in the price of selling and buying back, it is better than discarding.

The wine lady drove her men to do it.

Annan asked again: "How many Susan spinning machines have been sold?" ”

"It's less than a hundred, and you're too slow to build those goblins." The Wine Lady didn't understand why Annan cared so much about a few hundred gold coins - it wasn't too little, but it was nothing compared to the background of the King of the North.

"The attack cost the family too much ......," Annan can only say.

Annan is not really the king of the north, the glory, the status is all false, only Susan's spinning machine is real, it can be seen and touched.

"Be careful. When all the arrows point at you, you're in trouble. The wine lady said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

The wine lady did not explain this, and said goodbye to Annan and drove away from the estate.

"You know what?" Annan asked Dela.

"Don't mess with too many enemies." Elven Assassin == Guardian is concise and to the point.

Annan thought about it, and he didn't have a grudge against anyone except Augusta Olmedo. And even Augusta Olmedo seems to have turned enemies into friends with his clearing.

Not long after the wine lady left, another carriage drove into the manor.

Andrew Luna and Soruman Copperbeard came to visit him and bring some outside news.

For example, Annan's identity was boosted, and many bards spread his deeds.

There's nothing new in this, some smart people use bards whenever they want to preach, but they control a scale, after all, all bards have a breeze and a god of poetry over their heads.

"What do they say?" Annan asked curiously.

"The young King of the North has been attacked, the vengeful spirit hangs over Breeze City, and the murderer will endure the terrible flames of hell."

Revenge, love, adventure – these are the three stories that people love forever.

"Now in the second paragraph, the bards are brewing your love story with the Wine Lady."

"What kind of love story?"

Annan was also curious to see how the bards would make it up.

"It's nothing more than the clichΓ© plot of a noble woman falling in love with a down-and-out prince, but people just like it. Speaking of plot ......" Andrew Luna said, "Remember your "Law Breaking the Sky"? In the past two days, the publisher has added the king of the north to the signature......"

"How's it selling?"

Annan was concerned with something else.

"Uh...... It's said to be pretty good. ”

The sales of "Law Breaks the Sky" are about Annan's reputation. The more he became known in Breeze, the more people became curious about the Vengeful King.

So far, the stories that have been circulated do not belittle Annan, nor do they point to the Olmedo family as murderers.

Augusta Olmedo did what he promised, but it will take time to observe.

"And this."

Andrew Luna took out a letter: "The letter was delivered to the tavern. ”

"Did you send it from Hirabayashi?"

Annan took the envelope with some surprise. The cumbersome texture of the surface gold paint indicates that it is not.

"Ausulondere."

Annan paused his movements, and then intricately uncovered the envelope,

[Our brother Levi Reeves:]

[I've received your reply, and I'm glad you're okay...... We know you carry a lot of pressure, but the most important thing for the Reeves family is family. Come back, let's face the problem together.

The Ausulonde Collar is your forever home. 】

Annan put down the letter and answered Andrew Luna and Copperbeard's inquiring glances: "They...... My sisters are trying to persuade me to give up my revenge and go back to my family first. ”

"What do you think?"

"I'm not going back."

Annan shook his head and pocketed the envelope. "How are you doing?"

"My business hasn't been affected, but the copper whiskers aren't good."

Because of her support for Annan, the liquor industry of the wine lady was hit. Even if the Olmedo family did nothing, many nobles spontaneously refused the Winchette family wine because they didn't want to get into trouble.

Soruman Copperbeard also had a lot less business.

The tavern is fine, and the professionals who are stuck in the gray area don't care if the wine is made by a good person or a bad seed.

"Sorry......"

Annan's apology instead causes the upright Copperbeard to angrily accuse him, and then Annan says "then keep it up" in accordance with the dwarven instinct, which instead makes Copperbeard laugh and assure him that he will not be his weakness.

Andrew Luna and Soruman Copperbeard were about to leave, and in the short interval when Deira was not around, the dwarf suddenly whispered to Annan: There is always a reason why a person supports you unconditionally.

Annan guessed she was talking about the wine lady. But why do female dwarves say that about their boss?

What did she find?

The magic materials exchanged by the Wine Lady were delivered to the mansion in the evening.

After Annan asked Deira to check it, she couldn't wait to follow the steps on the meditation method to put the magic materials into the cauldron and then enter the meditation.

The effect of high-grade magic materials is surprisingly good. Annan instantly sensed the existence of magic power, and even seemed to have his soul instantly broke away from the shackles of his body and entered the bizarre void. Indescribable eerie shadows exude indescribably eerie colors. Confusion, distortion, disorder, disorder......

In the dark, Annan suddenly sensed the breath of the magic props, and his consciousness was pulled back into the misty bedroom-

Click.

Carrying an oil lamp, Annan walked out of his bedroom late at night and followed the meditative instructions downstairs to stand in front of a closed iron door leading to the basement.

He pushed the basement door open and walked down the steps into the dusty basement that had been unattended for a long time.

At the bottom of the basement, Annan saw a piece of parchment undusted on the table.

Late at night, basement, parchment......

Annan turned around and left the basement without thinking, only to find that the steps were enveloped in a cloud of smoke that could not be dispersed at some point.
