Verse 116. Stand on our side
Annan recalled the name of the beautiful god and confirmed that this same unisex deity was not called this. Originally, he was not interested in this Liliana Lore, but now he ......
"Liliana Lore? Haven't heard of it. Olmedo said strangely, "You're here for this?" ”
"Hmm."
"Who is he?"
"I won't ask you if I know."
Annan was just about to close the portal when Olmedo called out to him, "The knights of the royal capital have arrived in Breeze City this morning. ”
“…… They were much faster than I thought. ”
"yes, they said it was 'very important' to arrest you."
"Is it too late to say that I have nothing to do with the second prince now?"
Aside from the Pioneer Order given when acting as Minister of the Interior and the letter that the Nezumi Clan had headed north, Annan and Vitalig had nothing to do with each other.
"Whether it matters or not, you have to go to the royal capital...... When you get to the royal capital, you don't count if you say it. Olmedo's words were meaningful. The royal family was full of chaos, and the second prince happened to rebel when he learned of the rat plague, or committed suicide by taking poison, and Annan, who was thousands of miles away, became the only person wanted......
"Then let them come."
Annan's words interrupted Olmedo's thoughts, and she said lightly, "No, I have already expelled the knights. ”
"It's going to get you in trouble too......"
"The eldest prince is still only the acting king, and the rat plague in the south is raging, how stupid must he be to offend a king of the north and a frontier lord with real power for something that doesn't exist?"
Olmedo's pride made Annan suddenly realize why the Reeves family had given everything for the position of city lord - a city-state with a mage tower of hundreds of thousands of people even had to be courteous
The rat plague was enough to make them anxious.
Moreover, the northern land is remote, and the royal capital reacts that it will be at least a month later, and then quarrel for a month according to the aristocratic tradition, and then send troops to fight, and it will be winter at that time.
It's not a good idea to fight the Northlanders in the winter.
The portal dissipated in the office, and soon after it was quiet, there was a knock on the door.
"City Lord, there are several nobles who have heard that you have driven away the knights of the royal capital, and they are worried and dissatisfied with this." The assistant said as he stood in front of the table.
"Who are they?"
"Héctor Mehlis, Ike Tarantino, and the Brayden family."
"I remember that Héctor Mehlis was a cement merchant? Ike Tarantino I can understand that half of his building materials business was stolen by Starmoon Bay, the Bradden family...... What qualifications do they have to be dissatisfied when they rely on Xingyue Bay to buy grain to take a breath? ”
"Tell them that Xingyue Bay is the only port town in the north, and it will be the most prosperous city-state in the north in the future, and if they want to continue to make money, they will stand by us."
After saying that, Olmedo found that the assistant had not left yet: "What else is the matter?" ”
"Isn't our relationship with Young Master Annan too close......
Olmedo's mind conjured up the appearance of the restless Annan sitting at his desk dealing with government affairs, and a smile appeared:
"A hard-working person deserves help."
……
"Mr. Victor, do you know Liliana Lorey?"
Doubtful, Annan ran out of the Lord's Mansion and came to the library with Ingrid.
"Where did you know that name?" The old eyes were fixed on Annan.
"A magic prop that answers questions." Annan replied honestly: "It says that Liliana Lorei is the most handsome and beautiful person in this world. ”
"It's a legendary name......"
It is rumored that Liliana Lorere is an elf, and her beauty is even the envy of the goddess of beauty, so she casts a curse and turns Liliana Lore's monster into a monster who is both a man and a woman.
But Liliana Lore's father was a powerful ancient sorcerer, and he angrily turned the goddess of beauty into a monster who was not a man or a woman.
"This is just the imagination of the mudblood to the caster, and the strength of the ancient wizards lies not in the individual, but in the rudiments of their knowledge."
Mudblood, a spellcaster's scorn for someone who can't cast spells. The caster is arrogant, and Mr. Victor is self-deprecating.
So the magic mirror chose this rumor?
Aside from the fact that he likes word games as much as the devil, the magic mirror is still somewhat useful.
As she was about to go back, Lindy called out to Annan: "My aunt has sent some wine. ”
Annan also wondered why he had told himself that the wine had been given to him by the Wine Lady: to thank him for his advertisement in the Star Moon Bay News.
After several successive advertisements, the wine of the Wine Lady has become the new favorite among the aristocracy, and the wine cellar of the winery has long been empty.
It was useless for Annan to ask for the red wine, but Ingrid said that the Lord's Mansion should have some private secrets to entertain guests—he couldn't always let guests bring their own wine or even food to the banquet.
I had to ask the guards to carry the barrels to the cellar, and by the way, tell the second sister about Olmedo's expulsion of the knights of the royal capital.
"He owes us." Rela snorted coldly.
"But he's trying to make amends for his father's mistakes."
Leila suddenly approached Annan, and her black jewel-like eyes stared at Annan suspiciously: "Why are you so ...... to that guy?"
"Hmm...... Just feel that Olmedo is innocent. ”
"Forget it, you're the lord, it's not my turn to teach you." Rela deliberately pursed her lips and said something else: "What about the bad guys who want to get you?" ”
"Olmedo said they went south."
……
On the outskirts of Breeze City, lonely knights gather in a glade.
"We didn't finish the Prince's task." The captain of the knights held his helmet, his tired and resolute face full of self-reproach.
"Captain, we should go back and tell His Royal Highness that the Lord of Breeze City disobeyed the king's order and asked the prince to send troops to attack!"
"And then our civilians killed by the ratmen from the south?" For the sake of his own subordinates, the captain of the knights just made an accusation. "And going back won't change the fact that our mission failed......"
"So what do we do?"
"My family is ......in the City of Plenty," the knight captain's face flashed with a hint of hesitation, and then, the glory of the family was replaced by loyalty to the royal family, "Let's go, let's go to the City of Plenty!" ”
The knights mounted their horses and returned the way they had come, passing by a caravan.
The leader of the caravan watched as the knights of the second time lifted the sand and dirt away, retracted his gaze, looked at the city-state standing in the distance, and let the caravan speed into the city of Breeze.
"Lord Agarwal's Mage Tower!" The girl looking at the mage tower exclaimed.
"Lord Agarwal?" The apprentice next to him asked curiously.
"It's the owner of this mage tower!"
The caravan drove into the caravan camp, and they would rest in Breezy until the next morning.
"Are you going to take a walk around Breeze?" The leader of the caravan asked the girl respectfully.
She shook her head, and the teacher only asked her to go to Starmoon Bay, and didn't say anything about asking for help from Lord Agarwal.
