Verse 166. Twenty-eight days of shock
The walls of Breeze City are also full of busy silhouettes. The historic brick walls are clad in cement, and the ten-meter-high walls are about a meter higher than they were two months ago β only cement has such a speed. Breeze City houses a population of more than 300,000 people, and its walls are raised by one meter enough to raise Starmoon Bay by twenty meters.
By this winter's precedence, Breeze City's walls should be twelve meters tall.
Annan did not return to Starmoon Bay, and he was invited to be a guest of the Olmedo family. Olmedo also has many family members, but only a few cousins.
As the head of the old aristocracy of Breeze, the Olmedo family should not be as downtrodden as the Reeves family.
"Your father did that too?" Annan asked curiously.
Olmedo's smile vanished: "...... You can stay as long as you want, I'm going to take care of the business. β
Looking at Olmedo's back, Annan asked Tina, "Did I say the wrong thing?" β
"Young Master Annan, you're just not good at dealing with girls." Tina said something like this.
Annan didn't think so, and Lady Wine, Lady Winter, and Princess Sayles, they were all full of praise for themselves. Maybe it's just that Olmedo is in a bad mood?
Annan followed him to the corridor outside the study. A maid prepares to enter with a pastry. "I'll do it." Annan wanted to take the plate, but the maid hesitated and didn't know what to do.
"Leave it to him."
Tina opened the door and asked Annan to come in with a plate.
"I'm not angry." Olmedo just looked up.
"I know, how can the city lord of Breeze City be so easily angry."
ββ¦β¦ I'm really angry now. "The fact that Annan was not kicked out shows that Olmedo really treated him as a friend.
Annan had nothing to do, but guessed that Olmedo was showing the nobles of Breeze City, so he stayed with the Olmedo family for a day, and in the evening asked the kitchen to prepare a roasted whole sheep for Elimoas. Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Olmedo, Annan rode back to Starmoon Bay on the back of Elimoas's dragon.
There were no changes or waves in the alliance between Starmoon Bay and Breeze City, as they had worked closely together before.
Under this blandness, Xingyue Bay completed the autumn harvest, and more than 30,000 catties of dried fish were dried, and the fire crow brought new news.
In the second week, the townspeople of Prang Enc County received a new issue of the "Xingyue Bay News": "Unstoppable Nezumi soldiers are coming to the city!" γ
Will the third week be "The Great Nezumi Legion Comes to Its Loyal Hive"?
Annan went to Breeze City again, taking a bag of gold coins with him.
The blue dragon was moored outside the mage tower, Annan climbed down the dragon's back, and just a few steps later, Elimoyas stretched out the dragon's claws to block it: "Remember to come out and take a group photo." β
"It won't be long."
Annan had already seen a mage run out. Letting them wait a while, Annan knocked on the door of Michael's alchemy room, opened the money bag straight to the point, and poured 100 gold nars on the table: "I want to see black powder like Agarwal's temper before the third week." β
"What do you mean?" Michael's attention was grabbed by the pile of gold coins.
"Blow it up at one point."
"Twenty-one days? No problemβ"
"No, it's seven days."
"I don't think so, seven days is too short......"
Annan opened the empty purse, counted out 10 gold coins and put them back: "What about this time? β
"You can't ...... like that"
Annan opened the money bag again and held out his hand to the pile of gold coins. "I'll have to hire two mages to help me!" Michael shouted to stop him.
"Seven days?"
Michael gritted his teeth: "Seven days, but you have to ...... the 10 gold coins"
"I didn't even know you had dragon blood." Annan threw the money bag back into the pile of money and returned to the outside of the mage's tower.
The mages around the blue dragon are still the same as last time, in addition to taking a group photo, there are also some mages who want to ask for some dragon scales, dragon skins and dragon blood, and they are willing to spend money.
Elias could tell she was hesitating. The dignity of the dragon made it refuse to sell these, and the dragon preference made it unable to refuse those shiny gold coins-
"Sorry, we don't sell these."
Annan rejected them, and the blue dragon flapped its wings, setting off a strong air current, carrying Annan and disappearing into the western sky.
Returning to the Blue Dragon's lair, the first thing is to divide the spoils, but as soon as she takes out the money, Elimoas uses the dragon's claws to squeeze Annan away. "Mine! It's all mine! "Its dragon claws are covered with gold and silver coins.
"Didn't you say half each?"
"Not this time."
Annan forgave Elias. The blue dragon hoards money and he hoards things, and the blue dragon is his vault. Thinking of sweeping away the Blue Dragon's savings one day in the future, Annan let out a rueful laugh that made the Blue Dragon uneasy.
Back in the study of the Lord's Palace, Annan collected the joy brought by Elimayas and continued to polish the first edition of "Annan's Fables".
That's what this world is. You have to face its goodness and bear its weight.
Mel wanted his story to be adopted, and Annan did what he said. He spent several days polishing Sleeping Beauty, Princess Pea, Little Red Riding Hood, the Frog Prince, and the Three Little Pigs, the first of which was "The New Three Little Pigs," signed by Mel.
The first "Fables of Annan" was bound, then the second, and the third. The book of the King of the North and the Knight of the Grail sits on the shelves and is now available for sale in Breez and Starmoon Bay.
At this time, Annan took the first copy of "Annan's Fables" to the cemetery in Xingyue Bay, where he erected a mound for Mel.
In front of his tombstone, Annan bowed down the "Fable of Annan" and whispered, "The third little pig did what you expected." β
After Annan turned to leave, a moist sea breeze blew into the cemetery and opened the title page of "Annan's Fables".
β¦β¦
It's a world with a soul.
The souls of believers go to the gods, and the souls of the unbelievers go to hell.
The bad news is that Annan is a faithless man. The good news is that the Knights of the Holy Grail are devotees of the goddess of the lake.
The Holy Spirit, incarnated by the venerable Knight of the Holy Grail, returns to earth.
At the end of September, when the nights were already chilling, the fourth week arrived.
"The McKenn Ratmen failed to conquer the royal capital, and the rat tide scattered in all directions"
The headline of the new issue of the Magic Newspaper has many people both love and hate. Because the king resisted the nezumi, and because the king could not stop the nezumi from continuing to infiltrate and wreak havoc in the counties.
What makes people uneasy is who knows if the nezumi will come to wreak havoc in the North?
The north is no longer safe.
Thankfully, Starmoon Bay and Breeze City are ready - Breeze City steals all the attention, and Starbreeze Bay seems to be forgotten.
Because Breezy is a real city.
As the northernmost city of the kingdom, it has the Mage Tower, whose lord Agarwal rivals a demigod; It has more than a dozen epics, dozens of masters and thousands of elites.
Starmoon Bay has magical images, magical newspapers, harbors, aliens, and so many new things, but people still don't think a new town can withstand a rat plague, even if it has caused the Knights to hit a wall.
