Section 162. Retreat

"Kyle! Kyle! Send me back! An Nanbian shouted and pushed open the door of the library: "The king is too scary!" I don't want toβ€”"

Annan's shouting came to an abrupt end because of the "outsider" in the library - or maybe Annan was the outsider.

A quiet girl in a fluffy black lace dress sat by the window, her eyes similar to those of Princess Sayles falling on Annan.

"You're not allowed to call me that!" The legendary mage, who was standing opposite with a book in his hand, said angrily.

"But you said you wouldn't let me call you 'Kyle Bellos'......"

"Not allowed!" Kyrbelos was not at all as cold as he had when they first met, and now he was almost one percent of Agarwal's irritability: "Annan, you should be in awe of the legendary mage. ”

"Awe is in the heart, not in the mouth."

The young girl watched Annan carefully because of these words.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Kylebellos said to the girl with her head and went out of the hallway with Annan.

"Have you seen the Grand Duke?"

"Well, he told me to come up to you, after I called you Kyle." Along with the Grand Duke Barbatod, he was much warmer to Annan.

Kyle Belos began to regret why he had agreed to the Grand Duke to go to Starmoon Bay, so he was stuck by this guy: "'You don't want to do anything more'?" ”

At this moment, a gap opened in the hidden carved wooden door, and the girl appeared behind the door and made a silent gesture to Annan.

Annan understood: "I don't want to stay any longer, send me back." ”

"Don't you have a scroll to go back to?"

"It was used in danger, and now I'm safe." Annan said good things: "You are a legendary mage, whether it is a snow-capped mountain or a deep sea, Middle-earth or the void, you only need a portal to set foot in it. ”

"Okay, now?"

"I still have something to bring back, I'll come to you in the afternoon!"

Kylebellos choked and almost refused Annan's endless exploitation...... But he is a legendary mage, and haggling with a warlock who is not an elite is meaningless in itself.

"And we're done?" Annan said deliberately.

The girl behind the door gets the hint and sneaks back to the library.

Kyle Belos frantically waved open a portal, and on the other side was the doorway to the princess's manor.

"Get out."

"I wish you health and happiness every day." Annan stood through the portal.

Back at the manor, Annan told Princess Sails the news that he was going to return to Starmoon Bay.

"Why is there such a hurry?"

"Because the nezumi ...... They're getting closer. ”

"So you're going to run away?"

"Just a temporary retreat." Princess Sayles gave Annan one of the few favors in the royal city, so he suggested that the princess also leave the royal capital for a while.

Princess Sayles rejected him. Her idea was simple, if the nezumi could capture the royal capital, then it would make no difference where it was.

Annan felt safe in the north. Half of the year is winter, and there is no soil for the nezumi to breed. It's like that northern joke: what are the elements of water, fire, earth, and wind called in the north? They are collectively called the Frost Element.

Annan then went to the outer courtyard of the Audaggers Academy, and finally got good news from Klein: she was going to the Koi Forest for trials, and the Koi Forest was in the Duchy of Muleni to the east.

Then Annan came to the Black Gold Auction House, ready to buy some things, and invited Bora Silma: "Are you interested in opening a branch in Xingyue Bay?" ”

Bora Silma rejected him on the grounds that Starmoon Bay was too small in population. A city-state with a population of tens of thousands earns a few hundred gold coins a year, and if you put it in the far north, these money may not be enough to spend. Annan had no choice but to buy something at Sirma and some at the store, spending more than three hundred gold coins.

Annan spent the morning shopping and wandering around, as if no one in the whole king was happier than Annan. In the afternoon, Annan said goodbye to Princess Sayles and drove a rented carriage and kobold guards back outside the Grand Duke's mansion.

The Home Office should not mind Annan abducting their kobolds.

"It's a gift for you and Mr. Mel."

Annan gives Kyle Bellos a quill and Mel a book.

Kyle Bellos' face looked better. The gift is not expensive, but the respect of the king of the north.

Opening the portal to send Annan and his cargo and guards back to Starmoon Bay, Kylebelos returned to his library and picked up a Lich Manuscript.

A legend has a near-eternal lifespan in the eyes of mortals, and they are barren enough to think that the legend will wrestle with giants, wrestle with treants, and have fun with rat-men, as in the story...... Mages don't. Nothing in the world is as wonderful as knowledge. They are more willing to learn unlimited knowledge with their limited lives.

When the sun rises seven times and sets seven times, a knock on the door wakes Kyle Bellos. It's time for the weekly class again.

Kyrbelos put down the manuscript with great satisfaction, saw the pen and book on the table, and remembered the gift. Keeping the princess a little waiting, he went on a trip to the Knights and handed the book to Mel.

"A gift from Annan."

After Kyle Bellos left. The Knight of the Holy Grail wiped his hands with a handkerchief and opened the book.

[Mr. Mel, I'm sorry I can only tell you this way.] Because we are being swept into a huge maelstrom, you are the Knight of the Holy Grail and the person I trust the most, so I decided to let you know about it too :]

[There is a group of despicable beings. Either they were bewitched by the nezumi or they were planning something, in short, the Beings allowed their enemies to storm their homes, allowing their men to slaughter their own people, burn down their houses, and erase the memories of those who knew about it. 】

"And now, I tell you that this group of beings is the royal family and his mage tower, the lackeys of the Ordagger Academy, who have watched the nezumi who have destroyed the Violet Kingdom march in, engulfing one-sixth of the country, and allowing the Knights of the Praetorian Guard to slaughter villages and towns in Ilida County. Then, as I tried to summon you with death, a legendary mage erased all of our memories. 】

That's what I know. 】

[Whatever they did for it, I can't agree with this cruelty.] So, they're doing what they think is right, and I'm doing what I think is right. 】

[I can only express my displeasure in this way, a guard can defend his village, but not the country. 】

But I don't recommend that you burn like magma, because the enemy is far more powerful than you and I think. If you have to do something, rally your friends and hide your thoughts. Remember, don't let the vile evil triumph over the good.

[This trip to the royal capital was not without my gains-witness to the hypocrisy and ruthlessness of the upper echelons of the royal capital. 】
