In the orange twilight, Annan slowly woke up.

The figure sitting behind the desk raised his eyes, and his long golden hair was dyed orange: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?" ”

"How long have I been asleep......?"

Annan looked out the window at the broken clouds, and his still awake head couldn't tell whether it was early morning or dusk.

"It's less than three hours."

Annan followed Olmedo's gesture and looked at the corner clock, "I was about to report the rat-man attack to the royal capital, and I took the initiative to ask you for gold coins for the reward." ”

Annan, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, faded from sleep: "How much?" ”

"It should be a box of gold coins."

About a thousand gold coins. But Annan thought of something vigilantly: "Is gold the most valuable currency?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Is it a relationship between copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, will there be crystal coins, gem coins, or other currencies of higher value?"

Annan didn't want his hard-earned money to turn into a pile of cheap metal in the blink of an eye......

"No, it won't. Kinnar is the most valuable currency, certified by the goddess of wealth. Olmedo watched Annan lift the blanket, "You can rest for another two hours." ”

"I'm going to visit Martin...... How is he doing? ”

The young city lord sighed rarely: "I haven't been to see him for a while, and the servant said it's still the same." ”

This is Martin's merit and never invites trouble.

"I'm going to get him back."

"That's good."

Entrusted with Olmedo to recruit five hundred homeless people first, Annan said goodbye to Olmedo, who continued to be busy with official business, and walked out, and when he was about to leave the city lord's mansion, he met Michael who came to find him, and met an avid fan—he said that he had watched "The Fall of the Mage Tower" during the day, and listened to the choir sing "My Heart is Eternal" at night, and he could count how many steps there were from the hall of the Mage Tower to the second floor, how many freckles Ruth's cheeks were, and what size Jack's clothes were—

Michael corroborated him: the rich man's son bought five Philosopher's Stones, which means that he has watched it more than 40 times in the week since the release of "The Fall of the Mage Tower".

Annan thought he wanted to sign autographs or get close to him, but the rich son said he didn't want that, because familiarity would make beauty disappear, and he just didn't want to buy Philosopher's Stone every day.

"But an Eternal Philosopher's Stone costs 1,000 gold......"

"No problem!"

Before Annan could say the price, he hurriedly agreed. I couldn't raise the price any more, so I had to give back to the loyal audience that the Philosopher's Stone would be sent tomorrow.

Michael lamented that this was simply a money grab.

Grab money? How can you grab money and shoot magic images quickly.

Annan and Michael then went to Martin's residence.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

Martin, who was standing in front of him, was a little heavier than when he last saw him.

"I'll pick you up."

"Not yet!" Martin lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I have gathered evidence of Augusta's collusion with the nezumi......"

Annan was surprised that Martin could call Augusta, and at the same time surprised that he could find evidence.

"Where's the evidence?"

"I heard people outside saying that Augusta colluded with the nezumi ......"

Annan and Michael looked at each other, and Annan had to tell Martin that Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin were already on their way to Breeze, and asked him to follow him back.

"We'll take the jeweled sword and clothes." Annan said the butler who couldn't hold back his joy.

The carriage drove out of the manor, and Martin couldn't wait to shout, "I'm going to the tavern!" ”

"You can't drink yet."

"I think Martin meant to go to Morrowind Tavern to show off his might." Michael said.

Annan did not refuse, and it happened that he had come back this time to visit these friends.

Arriving at the street outside Morrowind's Tavern, Annan and Michael don their wizarding robes and hoods, respectively. Such outfits were not uncommon in taverns, and they were not obsessed with Martin as much as they were upon entering the tavern.

"Did you hear that...... The nezumi are invading Breeze......"

The chatter wafting from the corner caught Annan's attention.

"Is it too late for me to learn Nezumi now?"

"The Mage Tower is in one day, and the nezumi can't enter for a day......"

"Sounds like something is about to happen to the Mage Tower."

"Don't you know? The Mage Tower has collapsed...... The streets are full of people talking......"

Ignoring the two drunkards who were not presentable, Annan and the others came to the second floor.

"Our king of the world has returned from his realm? Thanks to you, the tavern business is getting better and better. Andrew Luna greeted Annan cordially, then looked at Martin, "Our good buddy is back too?" Oh, you've gained so much weight......"

Martin then couldn't wait to brag about his spying on the Olmedo family, but was overshadowed by Annan's exploits: "I took out five ferocious nezumi with my own hands. ”

Michael touched the cocoon next to his ear.

As Annan would soon return to the realm, Andrew Luna proposed a dinner party.

"Forget about the dinner...... Let's get together. Annan said.

Annan returns to the manor first, and Michael and Andrew Luna go to call out to the Wine Lady and Olmedo.

As night fell, everyone began a relaxed gathering in the manor hall.

Ogres, Orcs, and Soruman Copperbeard play cards next to them, while Michael and Olmedo talk about the proceeds of The Fall of the Mage's Tower.

Francois said that it would exceed 10,000 gold coins in a few days. 10,000 gold coins in one city, tens of thousands of gold coins in several cities......

Michael said that he was overly optimistic, and that in the past two days there have been forged record philosopher's stones, which are being sold to genuine philosopher's stones that want to be collected but can't afford the price of 100 gold coins.

It's like Susan's spinning machine.

At present, the spinning machine factories in Annam only make about two or three hundred Susan spinning machines, but there are at least two or three thousand "Susan spinning machines" in the whole north and part of the south.

Compared with Susan's spinning machine, cotton, whose price has increased by five or six times, brings more benefits.

In order to stay ahead of piracy, Annan commissioned the Wine Lady to use the Winchert family's sales channels to promote Breezy City, but it was difficult to replicate the miracle of Breezy City.

Their conversation gradually shifted from magical images to rat tides attacking the city. It was a little heavy at first, and then after Annan spoke about his underground experience, a cheerful atmosphere permeated the living room.

"I haven't heard the story of Annan killing the rat man for two minutes." Michael deliberately teased.

"How many nezumi did I kill, you ask? I can't remember, do you remember how many glasses of wine you had? ”

"I didn't ask you."

They were talking about the corpses in the dungeon—it was an elite spellcaster three hundred years ago.

In the middle of the night, Soruman Copperbeard and the ogre had an intense card night, Annan and Michael left the noisy mansion and came to the Mage Tower, where Annan approached the epic spellcaster and euphemistically proposed the need for an eternal magic stone.

Then, Annan asked the puppet who was following him to put down the wooden box:

"Here's 500 gold coins, a thank you gift."
