The old aristocracy hated the new aristocracy. The old aristocracy, the new aristocracy hated the nobility of the outer city. The old nobles, the new nobles, and the nobles of the outer cities hated the nobles outside the royal capital.

The recently hotly discussed "arrogant" king of the North exists at the lower level of the chain of contempt. It's rare for you to see the nobility so united - even a nezumi invasion will pop up with a few fellows.

"330 gold!"

A nobleman gritted his teeth and raised the price of the "Dwarven Barrel of the Elven Calendar" with a starting price of 30 gold coins. This is the limit, and he will ...... if he bids again

Annan's "angry" voice came from the VIP seat: "You dare to grab something from the king of the north!" Then he stopped talking. The name of the winner, Ellis, echoed through the auction room.

They tell the king of the north with a true aristocratic background that you are just a country nobleman from the countryside of the north.

The bidding nobles got vanity, the cheering guests boosted morale, the auction got a commission, Annan earned a bounty, so who loses?

Bora Sylma may or may not know, but it doesn't matter.

It is important to note that today's auction turnover exceeds that of the large monthly auctions.

"I apologize for my bias......"

The young nobleman who originally only wanted to make up for the gap of 500 gold coins has now not only filled the hole, but also earned more than 200 gold coins. The power of the goddess of wealth makes his sanity incomparably clear: money.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Annan said.

The young nobleman hesitated and nodded: "Happy cooperation." ”

Before going out, the owner of the black gold auction house invited Annan again, but he refused: "The nobles are just stupid, not stupid...... and they will doubt it too many times.

Annan had some regrets, if he could sell magic images and magic newspapers in the royal capital, a magic image recording stone could be exchanged for 500 gold coins from the hands of stupid nobles.

"What about the big auction house a week later? There will be many precious treasures at that time. Bora Silma lowered her voice: "If you have a favorite, you can tell me alone." ”

"If I'm still in the royal capital."

watched as Annan got into the royal carriage and left. Bora Silma remembers a story she had heard before: beekeepers would periodically place a natural predator of a bee near the hive, which would create a sense of urgency in the colony, keep the colony alive and speed up honey production.

Not long after Annan returned to the princess's estate, the carriage carrying his share of the remuneration arrived. Two treasure chests contain 1,500 gold coins, as well as a statue of the goddess of wealth with "501 gold coins". The young nobleman also gave the statue to Annam.

Asking the guards to help carry the chest and statue into the bedroom, Annan opened the portal and gave the gold to the ogre, and then asked the ogre to find Olmedo.

"Thank you, Annan."

Olmedo surprises this beautiful and delicate statue of the goddess of wealth.

"How much does this statue cost? He is not cheap, it costs 501 gold. Annan said.

"I didn't ...... It's so expensive, can you go back? ”

The gap between Olmedo and the royal nobles is greater than that of elves and dwarves.

Annan added that he didn't spend any money to get Olmedo to take it - hoping that she wouldn't sell the statue again out of frugality, and it would only be worth a few dozen gold coins.

The old maid who brought the food cart noticed that the treasure chest and the statue had disappeared and did not bother. Annan also has his own secrets.

Early in the morning, in the etiquette class in the outer courtyard of Odaggers Academy, there were many fewer students than yesterday. Because their parents were worried that their children would come into contact with Annan.

However, the teacher was much more serious and frequently corrected Annan's movements. Fortunately, the grueling etiquette class was only one hour.

The first 30 minutes teach the interests of the nobility, and the last 30 minutes correct the royal capital accent. The instructor said that Annan's Northland accent was particularly severe – Annan didn't realize it, but he understood it, because he learned the lingua franca from Aunt Susan's family.

And the tall girl actually had a northland accent, and when the teacher corrected her, her voice was familiar to Annan.

At the end of the etiquette class, Annan wandered around in front of the girl a few times, saw her holding the book and ignored it, and ran out of the class, and it was not long before Annan came back with a big sword that was about to be about the same height as him.

The girl looked up at the broad-bladed broadsword, and Annan asked her, "Klein?" ”

Klein maintained his indifference: "When did you know? ”

"Just got it." Annan put away the accident, leaned on his broadsword and said, "I wonder what it would be like to be a girl who is faithful to the creed of knighthood, impeccable aristocratic etiquette, a strong shield of her teammates, strong as a warrior, and likes to read?" ”

Annan smiled: "This is what it looks like now." ”

Klein's ice melted a little, and he put down his book.

After Michael went from a battle mage to an alchemist, his team of mercenaries fell apart. Francois followed Annan and crossed the ocean to continue working as a mercenary. She was reluctant to join Xingyue Bay, because the beauty of Xingyue Bay made her nauseous. Klein traveled a few months ago, but he didn't expect to come to the royal capital.

"Aren't you from the royal capital?"

"Not really."

Klein came from a family of knights. Her family had high hopes for her to join the Knights, but Claire wanted to become a Knight of the Holy Grail, so she traveled around the kingdom and became acquainted with Annan.

Annan didn't think Klein pretended not to know himself because he was worried that the approach would cause trouble. When asked why, Claire said it wasn't necessary.

Whether it is Annan, Michael or Kadalina, they are just people she met on the way to training, and there will be no intersection in the future......

But for Annan, who is happy to make friends, if you are infected with my breath, it means that we know each other. When we know each other, it means that I can summon you. If I can summon you, it means that we are friends.

"Do you know what's going on in the south?" Annan asked Klein. But she knows no more than she does. Annan had no choice but to tell Klein what he knew: "What do you think? ”

"Nezumen aren't that scary, and the kingdom isn't that weak."

"I originally thought so, but the Violet Kingdom fell, the three southern counties were occupied, and the kingdom fell to the nezumi in a sixth round."

The price was too great, just like Augusta sacrificing himself and fame, but he was for his daughter Olmedo...... Annan suddenly vaguely caught something, but the inspiration flashed.

"The royal capital won't be peaceful recently, you'd better leave, go north or east." Annan and Klein said.

"I'm a knight, Annan." Klein just replied.

Annan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a noisy movement outside. When Annan was still curiously looking out the window, Klein's eyes fell on the stone sword that Annan was holding:

"Where did your sword come from?"

"The statue outside is in his hand."

Annan realized what was going on.

Returning the greatsword and apologizing, Annan pretended not to know Klein, and left the outer courtyard amid the whispers of ridicule and sarcasm and Klein's gaze, and got into the carriage and returned to the manor.

At noon, a proud palace guard came to the manor and informed Annan that he would go to the palace garden around the mountain tomorrow to meet the king.
