Section 135
Abby has a new life in her eyes.
Since becoming a part of the estate, it has been getting better every day. There's no work to worry about, and there's no need to worry about your brother, although you also add a new worry - helping the ogre clean up, worrying about the younger brother who plays with the ogre.
But whether it is himself or his brother, the smile is getting bigger and bigger on his face.
Young Master Annan never scolded his servants, did not have an oppressive majesty, did not beat and scold people, and in order not to bring danger to the manor, he even set up a tent outside the mage tower to live......
Could such a person be a false aristocrat? Then she'd rather Breeze City be full of fake nobles!
But Abby didn't dare to tell Annan the truth, because she was worried that the peaceful life in front of her would be shattered like a bubble.
Apprehensive, Abby continued to wipe the ogre's body.
"Where are you wiping?"
A gruff whisper brought Abby back to her senses, and she shyly apologized as she pulled out her towel and arm.
"It's okay, go ahead."

Annan and Michael and the others are negotiating the price in their study.
First exclude Soruman Copperbeard's 100 gold coins, then Francois's 10 copper coins.
"That's 90 gold!"
"How about 1 copper coin?"
Before they continued to make trouble, Annan had to talk about the cost first:
The Recording Magic Stone can only be used ten times, and for the time being, it will be consumed once if it is not counted as recording the Magic Image.
Because of Annan's relationship with the Mage Tower, the price of the Philosopher's Stone should be suppressed to 10 to 15 gold. Assuming that the audience of each game of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" is 100 people, the price of 10~15 silver coins will make the magic image profitable.
But the people in the city who were willing to spend ten silver coins were about the same as those who were willing to spend one gold coin - in other words, the price of 10 silver coins filtered out most of the people of Breeze City.
A silver coin will make many people in Breeze City want to try it, but it will be difficult to gather 1,000 spectators.
In the end, Annan decided to price the ticket for 1 silver coin, and then use the constant record magic stone with a price ten times that of the ordinary record magic stone, which could not be lowered.
Ticket prices seem to be on the low side, and the ticket price for stage plays is 5 silver coins. Even half of the people in Breeze City will earn a maximum of two or three thousand gold coins when they go to see "The Fall of the Mage Tower" - but just like the stage play of the theater is always those popular stories but there is never a shortage of audiences, Annan is confident that "The Fall of the Mage Tower" will make them watch it several times or even a dozen times.
It's long-term business.
And he also took Soruman Copperbeard's suggestion: the portion of the 100 gold coins.
Sell the Philosopher's Stone of the Fall of the Mage Tower with the signature of Jack, Ruth, or any character for 100 gold.
There should be a lot of nobles who are willing to collect. Moreover, the normal record of the Philosopher's Stone means that they have seen it nine times, and if they want to see it, they will have to spend another 100 gold coins to buy a new Philosopher's Stone......
The premiere venue was the choice of the Benitez Theatre.
Annan asked Francois to lobby the theater owner, and Tina Wright hurried to finish the final part.
But the shameless Baron ran into a wall at the theatre β the owner refused to rent the theatre, saying that he would never let anything other than a stage play enter the theatre.
Annan had to go to the theater himself, and along the streets, he often saw caravans full of harvest being transported into Breezy City.
There is less than half a month left before the vast real autumn harvest, and there are only five days left before the countdown to the apocalypse forecast.
During this time, the nezumi are still frequently invading the surroundings of Breeze City, but the city guards who have been trained by the scavengers are beginning to become familiar with the rhythm of fighting the nezumi, and the tragedy of "being scratched by the nezumi and returning home to corrupt and kill his family" will not happen again.
During this period, Augusta Olmedo did not look for trouble again, otherwise "The Fall of the Mage Tower" would not have been completed so smoothly.
Annan and Michael went to the theater and met the theater owner, Jonatan Mays, in his office.
After the politeness, Honatan Mays asked Annan why he had created the magic image.
"The attack cost the family a lot, and we need money to survive the coming winter."
In order to promote the magic image, Annan also demonstrated the recording of the Philosopher's Stone in front of Honatan Mace, but Annan misjudged Honatan Mace's conservatism and persistence, and fiercely resisted Annan, saying that he would not let such a thing appear in the theater.
Annan says that magic images will not replace stage plays, but Honatan Mays is not convinced - magic images will not replace stage plays, but will only be a better option than stage plays.
You'll have to find another way.
In the evening, Annan, who returned to the felt tent, officially completed the editing of "The Fall of the Mage Tower".
"Can you see it now?" Michael can't wait.
"Don't worry."
Before the premiere, Annan was going to invite all those involved in the production of "The Fall of the Mage's Tower" to watch the test screening.
Well...... It's not a banquet.
In the afternoon of the next day, Annan and all the actors came to the makeshift felt tent.
With some anticipation and apprehension, Annan put down the Philosopher's Stone.
The mottled and faded images of magic slowly emerged with the chanting of the choir of the Fortune Churchβ
After three hours, the magical image faded.
Annan opened the curtain and let the light shine into the felt tent. But people are still not detached from that dream-like story.
Back at the Philosopher's Stone, everyone looked at him, as if they were back in the eternal mage tower of Breeze City.
"That's the art we create...... What do you guys think? β
Annan could already see from everyone's reaction that the magic image was accepted by everyone.
There was silence in the felt tent for a few seconds, and a mage who played the role of a nobleman stumbled and said, "I...... I don't know what to say......"
"I'm trying to imagine how great it is, but ......" another voice rang out.
Francois stroked the goosebumps and wanted to say something, and Andrew Luna paid tribute to Annan with the old etiquette: "I am honored to be a participant in this great work." β
These spellcasters, aristocrats, and actors praised one after another.
Suppressing his pride and expressing some regret, Annan said, "I wanted to prepare a premiere and invite the nobles of Breeze City to enjoy the magical images, but the theater refused me...... It's a pity that we can't get the nobles to witness our performance......"
"That Hornatan? I'm going to settle him! β
There was a commotion in the felt tent.
Now the premiere location is not an issue.
"It's so pretty!!"
The exuberant shouts suddenly attracted, and an elite mage stood up and said, "King of the North!" What price do I have to pay to have a magical image! β
"I'm ready, 100 gold coins can buy the Magic Stone to record the Fall of the Mage Tower."
"I want one!"
"King of the North, please leave me one!"
"I want it too!"
At this moment, the felt tent sounded like a market with the noisy sound of purchase.
"Boy!" The old master stood up, snorted coldly at Annan, and was helped out of the felt tent by the old maid with tears on it.
"What does he want to say?" Michael didn't get it.
"I guess he wanted one too."
"King of the North, how am I doing?"
After everyone left the felt tent, the elite mage approached Annan and asked.
"The phrase 'it's so pretty' is a little exaggerated."
