Ox carts with ropes tying their goods slowly drove out of the city gates.

Annan generously spent 300 gold coins to buy fifty cows, not only because he didn't want to lead the people to travel for ten days to reach Xingyue Bay, but also because these herds of 25 cows each would come in handy for next year's spring ploughing.

And in the future, Tasia will come to Xingyue Bay from the snow mountain as a guest, and she will feel the warmth of home in the cattle pen.

The knights sent by Olmedo stood coldly on the side of the road, and when Annan was about to leave, the Micheltos brought news that Fast had escorted Aunt Susan's family into the city.

Annan first set off the prepared convoy and followed Michael to the manor with his mage apprentice.

Annan saw Aunt Susan, a bear, and Uncle Hollin, a monkey, standing in front of the steps, as well as poor Martin, who was being ravaged by them.

"Oh my little Annan—"

Aunt Susan still wanted to hug Annan as she had done before, but the priceless mage robe and the lavish manor made her hesitate. However, Annan has been pleasantly surprised to hug Aunt Susan, and there is no change at all.

"Did Martin get you in trouble again? I'll teach him a lesson for you! "Aunt Susan soon returned to her old way of getting along—loving Annan and hurting Martin.

Annan looked at Martin, who was being carried in front of him by the ear and winked at him for help.

"Cousin?"

"Of course, you're my cousin!"

"No, Aunt Susan. In fact...... Martin is doing a secret thing for me. ”

"Oh my God...... Did Susan hear me? Our Martin has a chance! Uncle Hollin said with relief, and then criticized Annan: "Annan, you take too good care of Martin, he is now as fat as a pig, give him to me." ”

"Of course, there are a lot of trees on the estate, and you won't be out of the woods."

Annan readily agreed, but he was also worried that if he went to Starmoon Bay, Martin would run to the Olmedo family again.

Then he looked at Fast, who was standing next to him, and said helplessly: "Boy, I'm about to become your babysitter......"

In order to bring Aunt Susan's family over, Fast was forced to close the tavern - he would stay in Breeze.

"Are the Bards and Wood here too?"

Fast pointed to the mansion, "Wood is inside, and the bard has gone to the City of Plenty." ”

Regretting that the bard did not come, Annan walked into the mansion.

Wood leaned back on the couch in his cloak, his glass in his palm swaying red. I haven't seen him for almost two months, and he is no longer the scruffy, thin look.

"Good evening, my friend."

"If you don't drink it again, the cup of goat's blood will coagulate."

Wood doesn't figuratively pour goo's blood into his mouth, and Annan asks the head maid to wake Evelyn up.

Aunt Susan and the others entered the mansion, and Annan asked the maid to prepare some breakfast and sit in the living room.

Uncle Huo Lin sighed that the ogres were so big, the orcs were so strong, and Annan was so powerful. Annan talked about what had happened these days. Not wanting to worry Aunt Susan, Annan omitted the danger and intrigue, but kept the part of "killing the five nezumi with his own hands".

"Oh my little Annan, this is so dangerous...... it's just that Aunt Susan and Uncle Holling are more worried about Annan.

"Me too!"

Martin proudly declares that when Uncle Hollin asks him, "Did you kill the nezumi too?" Martin says the number 682.

That's the amount of apple pie he ate in total.

"Mr. Fast!"

A crisp cry made Fast look up at the girl who ran down the steps. Evelyn threw herself into Fast's arms with the hem of her skirt, jumping and jumping.

Fast was caught off guard, and when he came back to his senses, he screamed like a lady who had stepped on a mouse, and roared like an old father who had discovered that his daughter was learning badly: "Why did you make my Evelyn look like this!" ”

"Uh...... Evelyn, I'll leave it to you to explain. ”

Annan prepared to avoid the limelight and set off by the way.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Susan's family, who had just been separated from each other, Annan promised to pick them up after the construction of Xingyue Bay was completed.

Evelyn took an angry Fast and offered him to come over to help, but Annan refused.

Annan couldn't afford an accident with Aunt Susan's family, so Fast stayed here to protect them. Annan didn't even dare to say anything about the pay, fearing that Mr. Fast would be even more angry.

Michael rushed to hear the news, and Annan had one more person to say goodbye to.

Michael waved his hand, deliberately in a contemptuous tone, "Don't be chased back by the gnolls again." ”

Annan's sharp eyes looked at the ogres and orcs: "Who is the leaker......

"I lost to Francois," the howler admits frankly.

"Didn't you swear in the name of the orc god?"

When Annan asked, he said, "Our gods have lied more than snowflakes in the north." ”

After meditating on the east of the Puroni River for thirty years and the west of the Purney River for thirty years, Annan officially said goodbye to Aunt Susan and them, but the maid Abby chased after her, saying that she and her brother also wanted to go to Starmoon Bay.

"Then let's go with Aunt Susan."

Annan gladly accepted Abby and her brother.

"Master Annan, there's one more thing......" Abby decided to tell Annan the truth, "I once saw a portrait of the devil in the lady's bedroom......"

This kid ...... Maybe you'll be able to play well with Martin.

"Don't worry, Lady Wine told me about it."

At the party the other day, the wine lady revealed to Annan that her deceased husband had made a deal with the devil. However, she said that the contract would not affect her and Lindy. As for the Wincht family...... Otherwise, why is the Wine Lady called Wine Lady and not Winchert?

Annan carried the morning light on his back to the outside of the city, and drove quietly through the gradually waking streets.

And at the city gates, Annan met Olmedo on horseback.

"Why are you here?"

"I didn't want to come here, but the guards said that you just set off and came to see you off."

As soon as Annan was about to say something, a fiery red arrow came out of the sunlight and landed on Annan's shoulder.

"You'd better settle the Reeves family's troubles as soon as possible."

"I'm still figuring it out, do you have an idea?"

The young city lord, who was tall and sat upright, said something that made Annan frown: "As long as the people of the Reeves family disappear—"

"Augusta teaches you to be a just Lord of Breeze City, not to make you an unscrupulous person like him." Annan interrupts Olmedo.

"I'm just testing you, needless to say...... Olmedo smiled wryly.

"You hurt me, and I hurt you."

The small talk continued, and Olmedo stopped when Breezy City was almost out of sight in the distance.

"Annan ......"

"I'll be back before winter."

Annan's words choked back to Olmedo's emotion, and also made their separation sparse and flat.

It was only at noon that Annan caught up with the convoy, but it took ten days to reach Xingyue Bay.

When Annan got out of the carriage on an unusually cold morning when the white mist was exhaled, the secluded sea appeared in the distance, and the slanting morning light rose from behind the yellowing trees.

The dawn here is silent.
