Wood was tied to a wooden frame, shivering in the cold wind.

Annan and Francois lay in ambush behind the mansion window, waiting for the vampire to fall into the trap, but Wood couldn't get out until he couldn't hold on.

Putting the frozen Wood down, Annan handed Wood a half-congealed bowl of warm blood to warm his body and mind, and Francois said beside him, "Either the vampires aren't there, or they don't want to pay attention to their own kind." ”

Then there is the succubus, this time Annan's turn to be the bait, and Claudia is also served as a side dish, and the specific measures are for them to stay in their respective rooms, draped in a small amount of clothes, and strike seductive poses.

But even Annan made such a huge sacrifice and did not let the succubus appear.

Succubi and vampires are not stupid, and even if they covet Annan at first, they should know that they cannot afford to provoke the king of the north after Annan's true identity is revealed.

Annan's first encounter with the succubus ended disappointingly.

But "The Redemption of Beta" is about to be staged.

After all these days of publicity, both Breeze and Betal know that the King of the North's second magical video after The Fall of the Mage Tower has been completed.

There are only two Philosopher's Stones of Eternal Record, one in the Teatro Benitez in Breez, and one in the Rose Garden in Beta.

In the garden foyer, a banquet is being held in the name of a preview of "The Redemption of Betar" - the nobles will always find all sorts of excuses to feast.

Many of Annam have never seen or heard of it, and it is said that there are also nobles from the south and other countries who came here. The nobles did not dare to talk to Lady Winter, but they were keen to talk to Annan, because these people were all potential customers of Starmoon Bay, and Annan had to talk to them, tired of coping, and hid on the terrace to enjoy a moment of peace.

Vines climb the guardrails, birds and butterflies fly over the lawns and flower beds, and geothermal heat and shields keep the rose garden at the heart of Bertal City green even in the dead of winter. As for the resources consumed on a daily basis? It is just a negligible support for tens of thousands of civilians.

The sun shines and the air is fresh as if spring has arrived. Annan thought that Xingyue Bay would do the same in the future...... But let it be enjoyed by all the people.

"The southern nobles still have to hide in their rooms and watch in private, and you actually gather people to look at the Philosopher's Stone...... Northland is rude, as vulgar as your food......"

Whispers of surprise spread from the banquet to the terrace, and Annan pricked up his ears to listen to a nobleman with a southern accent and a local nobleman speak of "The Redemption of Bertal."

"It's not what you think, the protagonists of "Bertal Redemption" are humans and orcs......"

"Orcs and women? Oh, I can't imagine that the king of the North would do that......"

"Maybe it's an orc?"

"What? It wasn't a stick thrown into a well...... Could it be that the main actor is the king of the North? I kind of wanted to see ......"

Annan could cover the kitten's ears, but no one could cover his ears.

"Haven't you watched "The Fall of the Mage Tower"?"

"They're still doing this in the Mage Tower!?"

After the two nobles finished speaking, Annan returned to the banquet and walked straight towards Lady Rindong.

The chief of the guard was talking to Lady Winter, who looked up at Annan and motioned for the chief of the guard to continue.

"We caught a few mosquitoes, but some ran away......"

Annan wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Lady Winter's bedroom had gone into the mosquito: "Vampire? ”

"Those guys from the Crimson House came to the North for the Vault." Lady Winter, who blocked all the dangers for Annan, smiled and said, "But don't worry, I will attend the premiere of "Bertal's Redemption" tomorrow before leaving, and you will have to be careful then." ”

Annan talked to Mrs. Rindon for a while and left the banquet to prepare for tomorrow's premiere.

The chief guard looked at Annan's departing back: "You miss Siu, why did you refuse the resurrection ceremony of the Church of Death in the first place......?" ”

"Those who play with souls will also be played with by souls...... I don't want to repeat the old things in the ancient kingdom of Beits. Lady Winter's coldness and tallness seem to be incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the banquet: "We miss the deceased, but we miss the beautiful ...... at that time."

……

Just as Jack and Ruth in "The Fall of the Mage Tower" prefer the revelry of the lower class to the banquet of the nobles, Annan prefers to stay in the dungeon and brag to the future lords of Starmoon Bay.

“…… Put a pea under the bed, and I won't feel comfortable with any extra mattress. ”

Now he has five fairy tales.

During this time, Annan also came to the rat man with the kitten, and the kitten and the rat man were very silent.

"Rats...... I'm not afraid of cats. The nezumi said.

Annan thought of the rats in the rat tide that were close in size to guinea pigs, about the size of a cat.

After leaving with the kitten in his arms, Francois asked him, "Do you want to bring back the nezumi too?" ”

"Well, I kept it on purpose."

The nezumi will contact it if they want to get their hands on Xingyue Bay, and it is better to have traces to follow than the nezumi lurking in the shadows, and Annan can also use this to observe whether the rat god and the gods have lost contact with each other after the turmoil.

Annan went to the orphanage again, and these days of shelter brought in as many as 200 children, but there was no unbearable noise for so many children...... They are distressingly well-behaved.

Annan, who had borrowed someone from Breeze City and Lady Mia, took care of the children, and when he learned that Mia was about to leave, he was surprised and said, "You're leaving too?" ”

"March will gradually get warmer."

Annan didn't ask who Lady Mia was, and the truth was sometimes not that important.

"What about these kids?"

Ms. Mia said gently, "I am sure that you will live up to your promise to the children. ”

The next day, Annan put on a mage robe. He went to the dungeon and said to the old orc in a black dress, "Are you ready?" ”

It was Annan's turn to say this sentence to someone else.

"My friend, do you know what that means?"

"It means that an orc stands in front of all the nobles?" Annan said jokingly.

"I mean, why are you helping us so much?"

"I've seen flowers bloom, and I hope you'll see them too."

……

The prisoners sat in the dark cells, watching the jailers with the philosopher's stones, knocking on the iron bars to wake everyone up;

The future lords sat under a high sheltered wall, watching the maiden named Lorna bring the Philosopher's Stone;

At the station of the De Chaso mercenary group, the mercenaries watched in shame as the deputy head of the regiment, Irina, put down the philosopher's stone;

In the orphanage, the ignorant and curious children watched as Ms. Mia took out a beautiful spar;

At the Benitez Grand Theater, the aristocrats can't wait for the screening of the new work of the King of the North.

In the Rose Garden Hall, Annan and the old orcs came to the front row among the nobles who were avoiding them, and sat side by side with Lady Winter.

As the magical image lit up, the whispers faded away.
