"My necklace is worth 20 gold, yours!"

"I ...... My anklet should have 7 gold ......"

"My sapphire tiara was bought by my father for 30 gold coins!"

While the girls were still frantically scraping together money because of the word "sister", Annan stood at the table, and another girl came to her side, and Annan, who sighed thinking that it was a new guest, put down the cup and found that it was Mr. Evaro's precious daughter.

"Why are you here?"

"You don't welcome me?" Alice's smile is exactly the same as Evaro's.

"It was just an accident."

Alice wasn't on the invitation list because Annan wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Mr. Swaro rather than a monetary relationship—

"I've heard you need money." Alice handed Annan a box of wooden boxes, "This is what I have saved over the years. ”

“…… I can't ask for it. ”

"If you want to be truly grateful to me, don't let Ruth down." Alice, who deliberately laughed at Annan's previous actions, stuffed the wooden box to Annan, "Take it, my father won't come back." ”

"Thank you."

Annan's sincere thanks made Alice touch the goosebumps on her arm, waved her hand and turned away. Watching Alice's back disappear outside the banquet door, Annan's eyes fell on the shy girl who was pushed out by her companions and rubbed in this direction.

But that's 120 gold...... Giving Elimoas 120 gold will even make her wear a maid's outfit.

Annan reached out and touched the juice on the table, but felt empty.

What about his cup?

……

"That's him...... He who has ruined the plans of the Holy Family and disgraced us ......"

In the dark hall of glowing green, a few illusory silhouettes of abomination knelt in front of the reverberating whispering altar.

"We have captured him, and now we will cast the most vicious curse on him......"

"Isn't that too cheap for him?" A human silhouette emitted a melodious female voice like a ripe one, and the swaying tail was not the disgusting hairless baldness of the nezu-man, but as slender and slender as a succubus, "Elder, we should catch him and tell him that the Holy Clan is back and let him die in boundless pain and remorse." ”

"As you say, then it is up to you to draw him out......"

"Yes, Elder."

The human silhouette looked up, and if Annan had been here, he would have recognized her as the Countess...... Or Mary.

……

"Elvie, right? You danced very well......"

Letting go of the shy girl, Annan returned to Francois.

"How many did we sell?"

"18, 16 of them danced with you."

Annan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, but fortunately it was all worth it.

"There shouldn't be any guests who want to dance with you, would you like to hear from anyone who is interested in sponsoring you?"

"Let's talk about it."

"The one who is most interested is Becker."

"Lolonia's family? I remember that their family's main business was...... Slave trade? ”

"Yes, the Lolonia family is the largest slave merchant in Breeze."

"Give up. We can't tarnish the Starmoon Bay News, but if the price is right, I can buy his slaves. ”

"I'll talk to him later. Then there's Shepard, who is ...... in the leather business"

"Including alien skins, right?"

"Yes...... I can't understand the skinner, and I can't understand the buyer. The third is ......"

Francois said a few more, and finally chose the Granda family, the arms dealers.

Annan also had a brief encounter with the Granda family: the weapons shop where he bought Martin an unopened iron sword was the Granda family's business—they worked with scavengers and could be trusted.

Then Francois witnessed a spectacular sales pitch: Annan, after meeting the patriarch of the Granda family, said: "The audience for the Starmoon Bay News coincides with the customers of the Granda family." Who cares about the news? Mostly professionals. They can afford magical newspapers, and of course they can afford weapons. Star Moon Bay sells more than 50,000 copies per issue, and only one percent of these people are interested in your weapon, which is also five hundred......

The patriarch of the Granda family hesitated, and he continued: "It's not that it's that the important thing is that the readers remember the ad because of it. When he needs a weapon, the first thing that comes to mind is you, the weapons of the Granda family. I think you should know that the nezumi have already stepped into the lands of the North......

"I'm going to think again......"

"Do you know the Wine Lady? Do you know how much sales of her and her red wine have increased after they appeared in the Star Bay News? Ten times over! The wine of the Wine Lady of the whole county of Prang is known to everyone, and the price is only 100 gold coins per issue......"

"You convinced me. Take my money! ”

"Rest assured, it's definitely getting your money's worth."

Annan saw a familiar figure in his peripheral eyes. Saying sorry to the patriarch of the Granda family, Annan greeted Olmedo.

"Why are you here too?"

"Is anyone else coming?" Olmedo looked around and asked, "How's it going?" ”

"I should have earned more than two thousand gold narls."

Olmedo was frightened: "Just a banquet? You're literally stealing money. ”

"You can't say that." Annan shook his head, "It's much faster than grabbing money." ”

"But you don't look happy?" Olmedo suddenly remembered the anecdote circulating in Breezy City: "Because of the curse that 'the King of the North is the nemesis of the party'?" ”

Annan nodded solemnly: "Your father is also one of the culprits. ”

“…… Why do you always mention my father? ”

"I'm doing an experiment." Annan apologized: "Augusta is an epic, and it is said that some powerful epics also have the authority to perceive their real names, and I often mention him to you, perhaps to let his soul know that you are all right." ”

Olmedo's sadness flashed away: "So I should thank you?" ”

"No thanks."

At this time, Francois approached: "Sorry to disturb you, but there is a guest who wants to be alone with Annan. ”

"I only accept dancing." Annan frowned and said.

"But she bought five Philosopher's Stones at once......"

"Lead the way."

Annan followed Francois to the next door to the banquet hall and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A gentle female voice came out of the glotto.

Annan told Francois not to walk away, pushed the door and entered the room.

He saw a beautiful back first, then the door closed, and Annan suddenly lost control of his body.

Maintaining his sobriety, Annan let the silhouettes of two gray robes that came out of nowhere move, and burrowed into the hole in the corner of the room. As the surroundings got deeper and deeper, his heart sank. Only rats can bury holes in the ground......

After about a few minutes, Annan was carried to the altar of a dark hall and regained control of his body. He looked up, and the first thing he saw was a pair of familiar pale and bright eyes......

"Countess?"

"Recognized? I've come to take revenge on you. Before Maria's announcement could be uttered, Annan's whispering made her stunned.

"I miss you so much......"
