Section 62
The cheers and applause caused a sensation in the garden hall, except for the falling flowers, otherwise the scene would be like the return of a warrior who had struck the evil dragon.
"Freeman! Welcome out of prison! ”
"You're good!"
"What about Andy? Let's see Andy! ”
The nobles' gaze was no longer the disgust and incomprehension they had before, and they looked at the old orc as if they were looking at Freeman.
This is a wonderful story that will bring emotions to the audience, and it is difficult for nobles who have not yet been exposed to magical images to distinguish it from reality.
Annan smiled reservedly, and the old orc expressed his remembrance, remembering a similar scene when he was a child, caught by humans, put in a cage and thrown in the market, and watched by curious residents.
While Madame Winter was still there, Annan sold the Recording Philosopher's Stone to the nobles who were still reminiscing about the story: the Recording Philosopher's Stone that burned "The Redemption of Beta" was originally priced at 100 gold coins, but now it only costs 90 gold coins to buy.
Not aristocratic at all, but like a businessman through and through. But the King of the North, Lady Winter, and "Freeman" are enough to make the nobles crowd up in front of the piled up of Philosopher's Stones, waving their money bags and saying that they will take my money.
Annan took the opportunity to harvest the money of the nobles. Whether it's the emotion of the story or the kindness to Freeman, it tends to be rational over time. At that time, they felt that it was not worth spending 90 gold on the Philosopher's Stone, and they also felt that it was stupid to spend so much gold on an orc who could not be seen or touched.
The auditorium in the back garden of the premiere naturally turned into a banquet, and Annan asked the old orc to continue to squat at the banquet to guard potential customers, and first returned to the official residence of the deputy warden, urging everyone to pack their things.
They'll have to get ready to slip away.
Annan has a vague relationship with the Diatra family, provokes succubi, vampires, and mercenary groups, and has an affair with the Vault, and until now he has relied on Lady Winter to protect him. But with Lady Winter leaving tomorrow, Annan will face the dangers of the outside world.
Either expose the Elemental Legion or leave - Annan chooses the latter, anyway, the matter of Betal City is basically done except for the investigation of Gemma.
Annan came to the orphanage first, and "The Redemption of Beta" was a bit complicated for children who had difficulty concentrating, so they ran to sleep or play halfway through it.
Let Francois and Joan send the children back to the mansion and say goodbye to Lady Mia will be next year. Annan told her that she could go to Xingyue Bay to meet them.
Then he runs to the dungeon, frees the innocent and the aliens, and sends the prisoners who are not guilty to death to the first floor, telling them that there is still a chance to redeem themselves.
As for stepping down, it's just a matter of piggybacking.
Annan returned to the official residence, which was only a slightly larger single-family house that was about to be unable to accommodate so many people.
"You've brought back too many people...... Mr. Francois said.
"I don't think it's much at all."
The children and prisoners sent to Xingyue Bay were only a drop in the bucket, and their combined could only make the population of Xingyue Bay exceed 2,000 people, close to a small town.
Annan can't wait to return to Starmoon Bay and squander the huge amount of gold he earned from this trip to Betar to build more houses, complete the city walls, seaports, schools, research and ...... It is said that the clock tower, which is modeled after the Mage Tower, is also nearing completion, which was originally planned to be 10 meters high because it is similar to the mansion building, but was later changed to 30 meters.
and build more wonders!
Count the takeaways from this trip to Betar City:
More than 60 Philosopher's Stones in "The Fall of the Mage's Tower", more than 50 Philosopher's Stones in "The Redemption of Beta", a dozen gold coins per day screened in theaters, and their increasing sales;
dungeon walls that cost a thousand gold coins but cost only a few gold coins for the workers;
Cement that sells at five times the price;
Hundreds of people made up of children, adults, and aliens;
the friendship of Lady Winter, Lady Mia, and the nobles;
Claudia, who minimizes the cost of the Philosopher's Stone.
Before opening the portal, Annan invited Tina Wright to join Starmoon Bay again. While fraudsters and illusionists weren't hard to find, the two collaborations gave Tina enough insight into Annan's mind.
Tina Wright rejected Annan's invitation and stole his money and ran away. Fortunately, Annan did not have the habit of carrying too much money, and only a few gold nars and a few silver coins were stolen.
"There is a bird that should not be kept in a cage because every wing of it is stained with the radiance of freedom~" Francois, who disguised himself as "Astolfo" from appearance to voice, laughed, and Annan's response was to prepare a bowl of kerosene and confetti to splash on his face.
He endured it for too long.
Opening the portal, the children curiously travel from Betal to Breeze, then the prisoners and the aliens who can't fight, and the rest of the aliens will leave with Annan.
The mansion was empty, but the kittens were gone. When Annan wondered if it had escaped through the portal, he found the kitten cowering in his warden's uniform.
The kittens were found, but there was one more person that was not found: the elven mentor.
When opening the portal for the second time and carrying the whole box of gold coins over, Annan wondered, "We didn't find the elven mentor......
"Mentor Irilanzer is proficient in Transfiguration, maybe she's disguised herself like Francois?"
Olmedo's words reminded Annan and Francois of something, and they both looked up in the direction of the bedroom, where the kitten was lying in the clothes on the bed.
Thinking of these days, Annan is in the same room with the kittens...... It's a terrible thing to be indescribable.
Annan and Francois tiptoed to the bedroom and said to the kitten, who was napping on the bed, "We already know...... Can you change back? ”
The kitten glanced at them lazily, with some regret and some helplessness, and the pair of vertical pupils suddenly turned golden yellow, and the form began to change, and said the common language:
"I'm just a golden dragon passing by."
A shrunken miniature golden dragon appeared on the bed, fluttering its wings and flying out of the window, leaving Annan and Francois stunned in the cold wind.
When the bard learned of this, he said, "The golden dragon is like this, like a mischievous goblin, who suddenly broke into your life. Their sense of justice makes them like to "look for trouble" everywhere, as long as you don't do bad things, you don't have to be afraid of them, and you will be rewarded for doing good deeds. ”
Annan felt regretful, if he knew that the kitten was a golden dragon, he would have held it all day long and would not let go, saying good things about Xingyue Bay, maybe he could make Xingyue Bay have a second dragon nest......
So who the hell is the elven mentor?!
The next day, Annan, who was ready, set off early in the morning. They happened to encounter Lady Winter's convoy. Meet briefly in the city and march together along the streets where people have been avoided.
"When are you coming to Xingyue Bay to have a look?"
"There will be a day."
Bidding farewell to each other, the two convoys parted at the fork in the road, Annan headed north, and Lady Winter's convoy headed east.
