Looking back on his experience after arriving in Breeze City, Annan did not do nothing.

He knew very little about the world, so he made friends everywhere and read books to increase his knowledge.

Because of the need to understand the nobility, he held a banquet to invite them;

I don't know who the enemy is, so I have to get in touch with the people around me, get to know them, and become friends;

Now, Annan has joined the scavengers, and his bond with this world continues to deepen;

And Annan's reputation in the eyes of the residents of Breeze City is surprisingly good - he does not engage in extravagant and promiscuous parties like other nobles, does not oppress and enslave commoners, nor is he dull and deadly like the old-fashioned nobles, and actively brings people after-dinner fun - such as the king of the north, like all the warlocks in the story, has a penchant for foreign races.

And at some point, it began to be rumored in the city that Annan was the nemesis of the banquet: the first banquet he attended scared away the guests because of the announcement of his identity, the second private banquet at the manor was also broken up because of uninvited guests, and the third banquet could only invite a group of friends, goblins and even civilians because of refusal to contact. The fourth banquet almost succeeded - and then it was taken by the scavengers to investigate.

Now the people of Breez are saying that they can be invited to the fifth banquet - they will not cause trouble, and will chase away the enemies who prevent the party from proceeding.

Annan guessed that these were all arranged by the people around him, and the rumors were biased - the third banquet was clearly a dinner at the City Lord's Mansion, and the banquet ended quite smoothly, and he also got to know the countess.

At all costs. Annan and the four-man squad both completed each other's tasks:

The four-member team discovered the Nezumi Clan, rescued two survivors, and managed to survive until rescue arrived.

Annan did not sit idly by and watch the four-man team die, he showed up with them to face the rat tide with them.

"I was going to give you this territory."

A crow mask walked up to him and said. Annan turned his head to look at him and recognized Olmedo.

"You're the leader of Breezy by day, the hero of saving the world by night, and your parents are alive?"

"My mother died when I was young."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Actually, I haven't been involved in a few incidents either, but like you, I need to know what's going on here. ”

A scavenger waved to Olmedo, who ended his small talk and walked over to his companion.

The scavengers cleaned the village after the flames were extinguished, but no more survivors were found, and the woman and child were the only ones who survived.

They are the key to learning the truth, and because they have suffered a slight corruption, the centurion first takes them back to the scavenger headquarters for purification.

After searching the village, the scavengers set up camp next to the rubble – they had to burn the bodies and dispose of the contaminated water and wheat fields.

Annan and the others returned to the scavenger headquarters through the portal constructed by the camp.

While being tested for contamination, Annan approached Riddle Gro and asked about the origin of the firecracker. The answer is unsurprising: South.

But the "fire gun" did not have the black powder that Annan imagined. It is powered by magic hedrons that fire arcane missiles, and are a well-made magic weapon rather than a firearm.

Annan's Otherworldly Visitor Pack is still there.

Giving the four-man team the address of the manor and inviting them to come at their leisure, Annan left the headquarters.

"This newcomer seems to be a nobleman? That fire elemental ring is at least 10,000 gold coins......" Riddle Gro said enviously.

"Don't you know?" Guido Rhone pointed to his brown hair, "He's the King of the North." ”

……

By the time we got back to the manor, it was already dawn.

Abby's brother is chasing the ogre in the grass—

The ogre couldn't live in the mansion, so with Annan's consent, it built an ogre shack at the back of the manor, using timber readily available from the manor, and an orc shack for the howler next to it.

Abby stood by and watched worriedly as the hideous ogre played with her brother and played with food.

Annan walked up to Abby and asked her, "You said yesterday that you had something important to tell me?" ”

"I ...... I would like to thank you for your help to me and my brother. ”

Abby didn't want to say that Annan didn't ask, just as Francois arrived to meet Francois, who stepped out of the carriage with an oil painting in his hand.

"This is the piano you want."

Annan looked at Francois strangely: "This is a painting. ”

"Uh...... Breezy doesn't have a Newtrude violin. ”

Annan looked at the painting and was surprised to find that the stringless instrument on the painting resembled the piano stepped on in the village house.

"Are there very few of them?"

"It is said to be the musical instrument of the southern tribes."

Why do Southern Tribal instruments appear on the Randolph farm?

Annan vaguely caught some information and raised his head.

"I'm going to the scavenger headquarters."

……

Led by the centurion, Annan and Francois entered the third floor of the scavenger's headquarters, where they saw the originator of the sound of the harp in the dungeon, a prisoner leaning against the corner in a dirty fancy dress.

"Who is he?"

"A bard who threw himself into chaos. He believes that human aesthetics are close to the limit, and chaos has infinite beauty. The centurion next to him said, "We can't pry his mouth open." ”

Neither can Annan. No matter what was said, the figure did not respond, as if dead.

But with the rescued mother and daughter, Annan got an unexpected surprise.

The woman who woke up said that a few days before the rat-man invasion, an old man of high status with blue eyes came to the lord.

The image of Augusta Olmedo instantly appeared in front of Annan's eyes.

On the way out, Annan fell into deep thought.

What if Augusta Olmedo was in charge...... What is his purpose? In order to make his son the lord of the city, he even did not hesitate to collude with the rat people?

"What are the scavengers going to do?" Annan asked the centurion.

"Continue the search for evidence of an affair between Augusta and Chaos."

"Doesn't that count?"

"Not yet. She can be falsely accused, or seen in disguise, or it can be a hallucination. We need real evidence. ”

Just a sentence of "see him go" can't overthrow the uncrowned king of Breeze City.

"But I'm afraid Jeffrey Olmedo will find out."

Olmedo is also a scavenger, and when he knows that his father is on the opposite side, will he still be able to maintain justice?

The centurion said meaningfully:

"We've never been here, and the survivors haven't said anything, have they?"

……

Annan returns to the manor to re-examine the situation in Breeze. At this time, he unexpectedly found that a whirlpool had appeared in Breeze City, quietly devouring his sense of existence.

The people of Breeze no longer talk about Annan after dinner, and the tavern bard no longer talks about the Avengers who crawled out of hell, but about the scandals of a few minor nobles.

Annan went to ask Andrew Luna, and he said that it was really not normal.

Normally, this kind of drama is enough for the people of Breezy to talk about for a few years, but now, the influence of the King of the North is rapidly dissipating-

Annan did not know why "Augusta Olmedo" did this, but he remembered Fast's admonition:

"The more they don't want you to do, the more you do it."
