Annan returned to the village to be burned at the stake, forgetting what had happened during the day, and ran to the stake to save people.

At this time, the rope that tied the beautiful woman suddenly slipped down, her red lips opened slightly, thanking Annan for saving the beauty, and the surrounding firewood turned into a big bed covered with velvet at some point.

The beautiful woman pushed him down, and was about to straddle him, when a giant spider emerged from the shadow behind her, wrapped around her, and dragged her into the shadows—

The dream turned into a nightmare, and Annan woke up.

The snow-covered window at the edge was glowing, and it was already early in the morning. But the lingering dreams are still lingering, and there is still perfume lingering in the nose.

Annan tried to get up, but he got back into the futon because of the cold and pulled the coat on the bedside table into the quilt.

Thinking back to last night, Annan suddenly found some problems: "The Fall of the Mage Tower" is blurry and tilted, and there are still crowds at the bottom, which is obviously a pirated version of the candid shooting...... But with the price of 10 copper coins, there are only two dozen guests, how do they recover the cost?

The Eternal Philosopher's Stone? What do they do if they have this money.

Curled up in the quilt, put on his cotton clothes, put on his hood, and went out to the corridor, and when he was about to go downstairs, he heard a faint shout from under the stairs.

"I said they were friends!"

Annan stopped on the stairs and saw Joan arguing with Uncle Murma through the narrow corner.

"I do treat little Joan like a friend......"

"Not that kind of friend! Fat sheep, friends, fools that kind of 'friends'! Do you remember what we agreed that the 'fat sheep' would be ten times as much, the 'friends' would be doubled, and the fools would be 'five times'......"

"But I've already received ...... money"

"That's—"

Da Da Da –

"-No! No next time, they're my friends! Joan shouted at the stunned Uncle Murma, regaining her reserve and signaling to Annan as he stepped downstairs.

"Good morning, Francois."

"Good morning, Joan."

Annan asked for breakfast as if he hadn't heard anything, and sat down in an empty seat.

"Have you known Uncle Murma for a long time?"

"Hmm...... Uncle Murma was my former bodyguard, and he faithfully protected me from the vicious claws of the Evil Mother, but caused the death of his wife and daughter in the royal capital......"

Uncle Murma behind the counter sighed: "My wife and daughter did pass away......"

It wasn't long before Alstorfo and the others came to the hall and prepared breakfast that had gone from one to four.

"Good morning."

The knight girl sat down, and the withdrawn man next to her sniffed suspiciously.

"Don't you want it?" Annan asked Joan.

"I'm not in the habit of eating breakfast."

As the words fell, her stomach gurgled at the right time. The down-and-out princess feigned composure and told a joke about Tatooon's Empire:

An old rich man called his three sons to an empty room, gave each of them a silver coin, and told them that whoever filled the room would inherit the whole property. The eldest son bought a pile of firewood, but it didn't fill the room. The second son lit many candles in the room, but the old rich man pointed to his shadow and smiled silently. The third son invited a bard to praise the "kindness and gentleness of the Empress of the Tatooon Empire" in the room, and the swear words and foul language suddenly filled the room.

As the story is told, the cheerful atmosphere fills the entire tavern.

The guy came over with breakfast, and Annan hesitated and said, "I'm suddenly not too hungry......"

Joan is like a fried cat: "I am a princess, I don't need your mercy!" ”

"I misunderstood, I just wanted you to help me get it to the poor people outside."

"I really can't help you, hmph, I'll throw it outside!"

Qiong'an picked up the plate, the fragrance made her stomach gurt again, and she patted her clothes with her hand in annoyance and made a muffled noise, and walked out of the hotel.

Annan got up and walked to the counter.

"That kid...... She is actually not bad, and all the money she earns is donated to the orphanage. Uncle Murma sighed.

"I know."

On the road, Annan saw patches on Joan's clothes, saw toys hidden under the trunk and didn't sell, and she didn't eat much along the way.

A businessman would not be poor to this extent.

And the hotel room fee is only 15 copper coins, which is cheaper than the Morrowind Tavern in Breeze City. Joan and Uncle Murma didn't want to earn their money.

"I'd like to ask you something."

"My old shop isn't as well-informed as the tavern, but it's okay." Uncle Murma said kindly, poured a glass of water and pushed it to Annan.

"I wanted to go to the auction, but I didn't have time to make it...... Heard there was an accident at the auction? ”

"Accident...... Are you talking about stealing? ”

"Stealing?"

Uncle Murma said that an incredible accident occurred after that auction: a magic ring worth 4,000 gold coins auctioned by Danilo Drum was stolen by a mage tower mage. The frustrated Drum family sent out private soldiers, launched bounties, and even questioned why the Mage Tower cultivated thieves.

It's not the same as the message coming back......

And question the Mage Tower? Annan came out of the Mage Tower before he set out.

As for the Drum family, it is okay to say that they are supporters or thugs, and they are equivalent to vassals of the twelve kings of the north. A magic ring is precious, but it shouldn't allow the Diatra family to frame the Mage Tower......

"Did they catch the mage?"

"Not yet, I guess they've already run away."

The bitter cold of the early morning poured into the hall, and Joan slipped back to the hotel shivering. "I searched for a long time to find the poor man, and I ran for so long to ask for money, but this time I will forget it."

With a clean lips, Joan put the plate back on the counter.

Bang –

The door shook the hotel, and the cold wind carried five figures into the hall, and the door did not close.

The man shrank in the corner, trembling and not daring to close the door, and stood up with their paperwork and motioned to Annan and Alstofo: "It's just a few of them." ”

"Who are you?"

Annan stared at the five professionals who seemed to be mercenaries in front of him. The fur of the animal on their outer leather armor was sticky and smelled of rusty blood.

"We took the commission to deal with the anomalies in that village." The slender lady holding the staff said haughtily.

The clerk looked around at the few people in the hall, his eyes fell on Annan, and ordered: "Civilians, you bring these professionals to the village where the accident occurred. ”

"I don't accept it."

Before he could react, the clerk reprimanded, "You are disobeying the laws of Beta!" ”

"You can go by yourself, the village is on the side of the road."

The annoyed clerk was about to say something, but the leader of the group of mercenaries, a fierce man wearing a hideous white wolf's hat, stopped him. A coin was pulled out of the purse and tossed lightly—Kinnar crossed the arc and landed into the glass of water on the counter. The gold coins that sank to the bottom of the water floated a bright red.

"And now?"

"I don't accept that no one will show you the way."
