Section 77. Cat House
"City Lord, why haven't we expelled them yet?"
In the town of Typhoon Shelter, Cavaliers captain Swayne asked Olmedo in front of the window in confusion.
Morning cooking smoke was rising in the town, and the same fireworks were rising outside in a messy camp.
The locals are getting more and more excessive, and those who are plotting against the town have even set up camp outside the town. Lords, nobles, authorities, mercenary groups, they are like dead crows waiting next to the dying people, ready to feast.
With the exception of the nobility, these fleeing northerners were either wealthy men with wealth or elite soldiers - no matter what they gained, they didn't lose anything.
If shit luck gets the mage's refuge, it's a big gain.
"Think of this as a trial, Swayne." Olmedo sensed that the knight was becoming impetuous: "Think of your uncle Blom. ā
"I just think they're like robbers."
Of course, they're not that stupid. After learning that there is an epic in this town, their attitude changes to "friendly" and they invite Olmedo.
Olmedo, who went to the appointment, told them directly: "I will not stop my people from leaving the town, but I will not accept that they will be coerced." ā
The actions of the natives are no longer tiptoeing or so rough, and the result is a steady stream of people who feel hopeless leaving.
But it doesn't matter, there are many more people in the typhoon shelter.
Eight thousand, six thousand, four thousand, two thousand...... It doesn't matter if there are a thousand left.
The key thing is...... Their pride and resentment will be worn away by life in a small forest town. In the future, they will be grateful to have accepted Annan and become his loyal fans.
Knock Knock Knock ā
There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the maid Abby was heard: "Mr. Olmedo, the ogre said the portal is open. ā
"Keep patrolling, there's been some movement from the gnolls in the mountains lately." After speaking to the captain of the knights, Olmedo left the mayor's mansion and made his way to the adjacent warehouse.
The ogre wasn't there, only Rela was standing in front of the portal.
As she approached, a dark shadow leaped out of the door and landed at Rela's feet.
Lella looked down at the silverfish that was no longer bouncing, and looked up at the rod that had not yet been thrown, with a look of humiliation.
"It'sā"
"Huh? Raella, did you catch it? A contrived exclamation came from the other side of the portal.
"You're going to call me sister." Lela looked at the dead fish eye as if she thought of Fast's ugly face, but her pride made her kick the silverfish back to the portal: "I don't need your help, I want to really defeat Fast!" ā
"Wow."
Annan sent it out cooperatively, but there was really no hope that Leila would use earthworms as bait. He summoned a water elemental from an angle invisible to the portal, pointing at the fish and then at the rod.
The water elemental silently entered the water, and Annan greeted Olmedo, asking Claudia, who had become a level 2 warlock, to exchange all the cheap magic stones accumulated these days for "The Fall of the Mage Tower".
There are still more than a dozen philosopher's stones left in "The Redemption of Bertal", but because Annan did not participate, it is almost enough.
"The Fall of the Mage Tower is a good payoff?"
"Five days...... Thirty-two thousand kinnars. Annan was like a countryman who had never seen the world, "and this is just Seltoves......"
Maybe "The Fall of the Mage Tower" will be able to scrape together an arcane core!
Annan even wondered if he would build another mage tower after possessing the first arcane core, and the rolling barrel-like Erie Gravel came and presented two drawings: "My lord, this is the cat house and the wonderful house you requested. ā
The cat house is like a fairy castle - with many small windows and rooms. The cat house is used to house Lily's companions, and incidentally serves as the messenger in place of the owl in Annan Potter - as the owl only haunts where the druids exist.
"How long will it take to design Diagon Alley?"
"Three days at most!" Erie Gravel emerges with the joy of being busy and valued.
"Speaking of which, have you figured out the name of your new territory?" Olmedo asked.
"Nova Moon Bay? The unsinkable Star Moon Bay? ā
At this time, Annan saw ogres and orcs appear outside the door and greeted them.
"Annan, I'm going back to the Frostwolf Clan." The howler said gruffly.
"I'm with it." The ogre spoke.
At this time, Annan noticed that the orc was wearing leather armor and holding an axe: "Even you are leaving?" ā
"I haven't been back to the clan for too long, and I want to go back and have a look."
The Frostwolf Clan is in Groghda, a swampy area northeast of the Tatooan Empire. It's far away, and it's much safer with the ogre. Knights with "justice" can't beat them, and mercenaries don't want to waste their strength attacking alien races that don't benefit them. And you can also contact Annan through the ogre.
After thinking about it, Annan took out some gold coins and put them into the portal: "Far away from human towns, you can buy some things when you encounter villages and caravans." If you find your people, let them come to me. ā
The proud orcs bowed their heads for the generosity of their leader.
As soon as they left, Leila let out a cry of surprise and lifted the fishing rod. The silver shadow hanging from the hook made her excited, but when she saw it, she fell silent.
Why is this fish so familiar?
Leila stared thoughtfully at the dead fish she caught.
At this time, Evelyn was called by the maid Abby: "Evelyn, are you interested in becoming the owner of the cat house and the wonderful house?" ā
"Can I do it?"
"There's nothing you need to do."
Just stand there - Sletovis knows as much about Ruth as he knows about Jack.
Annan then asked Olmedo to find a few trusted businessmen and prepare to go back to the lounge to pick them up again.
Evelyn suddenly took the initiative to step out of the portal, and Annan had to help her sit in the rocking boat, say goodbye to the pensive Rela and Olmedo, and close the portal.
Before the water element could come up, Annan patted the water with his oar, and after no response, he lay on the side of the boat and stuck his head into the water.
Annan vaguely saw the water element floating under the water at a depth of five or six meters, a vague outline around the water element, and when he saw Annan, he was frightened and swam into the depths, and the water element also returned to the surface of the sea.
"What's that?"
The water elemental makes an incomprehensible rattling sound.
Annan had no choice but to give up the inquiry, send it back, and give Evelyn an oar.
"Let's paddle back together."
The result of two people rowing at the same time is that they spin around the sea several times without cooperation. It took a few minutes to find the rhythm. Halfway through the row, a sweaty Evelyn took off her wolfskin coat that was draped outside, "Srtovise is warmer than the town. ā
"Is it cold in town?"
Annan remembered that he seemed to see the snow outside the door.
"There was snow in the town the other day, and Aunt Susan said it was a cold snap from the north."
