The magnificent Blackstone Castle stands tall on a wheat field hill.

Itilia's gaze retracted from the window and looked at Leila in her wheelchair, "Do you want to go to Starmoon Bay?" ”

Leila sat up straight, her cheeks shifting between surprise, doubt, joy, and worry.

"Annan's territory has surpassed ours, and he trusts others too easily, and I fear that he will make wedding dresses for others...... The presence of a family member will help him discover many details that he has not noticed. Editilia explained.

"Shall we go together?"

"I'm going to stay in the dragon habitat." "Someone needs to ......be at home," Editilia said.

Lela hesitated, but still reluctantly said, "Then you go, I'll stay." ”

"Okay, you can sign today's government affairs." Itilia easily agreed.

"I'd better go!"

Leila jumped out of her wheelchair and ran out of the bedroom with brisk steps: "I'm going to clean up my things first!" ”

With a gentle smile on her face, Etilia took out a piece of letter paper and wrote with a swinging quill pen:

[Dear Annan,

Leila had been thinking about going to Ling, and I had just promised her. Because you've been away from home for so long, I don't want to be like strangers in the future...... Leila is still very simple and takes good care of her.

- Your sister Editia

Itilia re-read the letter, crumpling it up.

"Why did you tear it up again?" An illusory whisper rang out in the room.

"Annan is a smart kid, he can see what I mean......"

"You look like you're trying to sell Rela."

"It's hard for my brother to come back here, I need to continue the blood of the Reeves family......" Itilia whispered, "that person should have been me, but my legs are ......"

"Whatever you want, I only have one year left in my contract with your ancestors."

"Enough. Annan: He is very good...... A year from now, he may no longer need asylum. ”

……

Early the next morning, Annan and Druidade went to a makeshift camp north of the glacier river.

Yesterday evening, they brought back from the castle a total of five hundred and fourteen men. Most of them were soldiers, with only a few residents fleeing into the castle before the nezumi arrived.

"Your Excellency, Lord of the North, I am Ulmet, Count of the Violet Kingdom." A strong man who feels like a bear said.

Annan thought he could wrestle with Aunt Susan.

"I am Annan, the lord of Starmoon Bay."

The conversation between the lord and the lord was too formal for Annan to get used to. Fortunately, Ingrid answered in his place and did not act in the interests of the nobility.

As a result, when Annan asked what had happened a few days ago, Ulmit tore through his disguise and revealed his true nature: "Those gnome-raised nobles lied to me!" They said that the nezumi were blocked by the strait and could not cross to the southeast, and I took it seriously, but the nezumi crossed the strait from the southwest and attacked my territory! ”

"If you hadn't made a move, I would have gone to hell and fought with the ancestors of those bitche-raised nobles."

Annan gave the count two options:

Join Star-Moon Bay and pay to send them back to the Violet Kingdom.

However, the McKenn rat people are spreading north along the West Coast. The place where they landed was also a zone of occupation or sooner or later.

There is really nothing to choose, and those in power will not give up their rights. It's just that Ulmit is a lord who is rude on the outside and delicate on the inside, and he hopes to rest in Starmoon Bay for a while, and pay Annan a box of gold coins in advance.

"If it weren't for the fact that the North is so far away, I'd like to introduce you to my brothers...... Forget it, they should have almost all gone into the rat-man's belly by now. ”

Ulmit shook his head regretfully, but not regret the fate that had befallen his brothers......

Annan and Ulmit got along fairly well, and when he was about to go back, Farías sent him out and thanked him again for his help in place of the lord: "The count was a veteran, so he was rude......"

"It's nothing, if he is the same as at the beginning, I won't be able to adapt to it."

Augusta's kind of speech was like a riddle that gave Annan a shadow, but fortunately Olmedo didn't fall for it.

"The druids said the plague you were carrying has been removed, so you are welcome to visit the town."

"The soldiers are exhausted, and we will visit you in the Lord's Mansion after resting."

Talking about the rat tide, Ulmit still has palpitations. After teleporting the people in the castle, he and the heavy Wanma teleported back to the deck, where they saw the castle collapse in its entirety. Just a little bit...... Just a little bit...

Sent to Annam and they crossed the river, and Farías returned to the felt tent in the glade, and saw the Count reading with relish in his hand a magical newspaper: "This thing was invented in the North...... What is this called? Can we learn it? ”

"They call it the Magic Newspaper, and it costs 10 copper coins."

"Such a thin piece of paper actually costs 10 copper coins? No wonder the realm of the king of the north is so rich. ”

Farias thought the same thing as the Count at first, and then he suddenly noticed something: "It looks like a magic prop......"

"What?"

Farias picked up the magic newspaper and carefully sensed the faint amount of magic...... After a few minutes, he found the logo in the lower right corner and awkwardly tore off the corner.

"Welcome back, reader, you are reading: Yves Saint Laurent calendar...... The McKenn nezumi have invaded the Violet Kingdom, and they are not far from the southern border of the Rikanr Kingdom......"

The crisp sound of a young girl reading came out.

Ulmit's expression was like that of a redneck who had entered the city for the first time: "You just said how much it costs?" ”

"10 copper coins."

"The goddess of wealth is above...... They...... Are they enemies of the goddess of wealth!? ”

……

The McCain Ratmen head north.

The news of the McKenn rat people heading north is heading south.

Breeze City, Betal City, Fertile City, Ausulondeling, Pinglin Town...... This issue of the magical newspaper spread throughout the county of Plan's Grace.

After a few days of rest, Count Ulmit visited Annan at the Lord's Palace, and then wandered around Starmoon Bay - he and his men were particularly fond of the theater, while Farías loved the school, and Annan invited him to give a lesson to the students.

When he came out, Annan, who found that Mr. Victor was not there, learned of his illness.

"I didn't infect it......"

"No, he just had a disease that everyone encounters...... Senescence. ”

Annan, who had rushed outside Mr. Victor's house, heard the crying, and with a sense of worry and foreboding, he broke into the house without knocking.

"Mr. Victor!"

To Annan's grief, the weeping Martin sat sideways, and Mr. Victor sat quietly in his wheelchair, tilting his head and closing his eyes......

He's late......

"What do you do!" Lindy angrily scolded Annan who broke in, "The teacher is resting......"

"Rest? But Martin was crying......"

"Because the teacher's cane hit him on the toe."
