Section 81
"Annan Reeves."
Orin's salutation made Annan smell bad signs.
"I'm sorry, I lied, I just came out of the portal and got dizzy, thinking you were enemies so I said my last name was Montreal." Annan explained before Orin got angry.
Orin looked down at Annan, who blinked his innocent black eyes.
“…… What are you here to do? Orin changed the subject.
"I'm looking for you."
The knights' eyes changed a little.
"Find me something!" Ou Lin's attitude quietly became irritable.
Annan looked up at her in surprise: "Don't you remember your promise?" ”
Promise!?
The knights, who looked at each other, looked surprised to know the secret.
"What promise?" Orin frowned.
Annan didn't speak, but looked at the knights around him.
"Let's leave!"
The female knight led her companions who did not want to leave, and their conversation drifted in the wind:
"Sister Orin actually likes this type of ......"
"This is a tiger in the heart, sniffing the roses......"
"I already see Sister Oulin holding that boy in front of my eyes......"
These words converged into Orin's irritation: "If you can't speak—"
"I've scraped together 400,000 gold coins." After Annan finished speaking, he looked around vigilantly.
How long has it been?
Ou Lin couldn't help but ask, "What have you done?" ”
"You don't know?" "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has obviously been released in the imperial capital, "Speaking of which, they don't know me." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Let's go home first." Annan picked up Lily, who was crouching at her feet, and looked up at the position behind Orin.
"Go by yourself!"
Twenty minutes later, Orin, who was leading the warhorse, returned to the Montreal estate.
"Young Master Annan is back!"
The servant saw Annan as enthusiastically as he saw his family.
Annan first went to see the old ancestor, who was napping in the sun in the greenhouse.
"Oh, little Orin, little Annan, and little Lily." The old ancestor's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he affectionately stroked Lily, who jumped on his lap.
"Ancestor, I'm back." Ou Lin performed knightly etiquette to his ancestors.
"I have a lot of cats in Sertovis, do you want to give you one?" Annan could see that the old ancestor really liked Lily, and thought of the clean and elegant white cat, "There is a white cat, it is good to be stupid for everything." ”
Then Annan saw the old ancestor stretch out his withered hand, as if grasping something, and took out a dazed white cat from the void.
"This one?"
Annan rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a magical Potter for the first time.
This magic is simply magical......
"Little Annan, you're right, it's so stupid." The old ancestor let go of his hand, and the fried white cat leaped into the void.
After the sense of amazement faded, a sense of crisis arose...... Annan began to worry about the 300,000 gold coins in the magic ring, as if a mage's hand would steal his money at any time......
"Are you here for little Orin?" The old ancestor asked.
"I'm coming to Orin to buy an arcane core."
"Our little Annan wants to be the lord of Sky City?" The Old Ancestor scratched Lily's head with a smile: "Will you bring the people from the bottom nest up?" ”
"Of course!"
"Then you guys go quickly, I've got Lily with me."
Saying goodbye to their ancestors, Annan and Ou Lin walked out of the manor.
"The old ancestor seems to know everything......"
The Old Ancestor almost refreshed Annan's perception of legends - it's not that legends aren't powerful, whether it's Agarwal who betrayed humanity or the dead Knight of the Holy Grail, they are all incomparably powerful, but they are not so strong that they can't understand it.
The magic of the old ancestor was like magic in Annan's eyes.
"You don't know who the old ancestor is?" Ou Lin spoke in a strange tone.
"I don't know." Annan shook his head, he didn't read again.
Orin gave up talking to Annan about this: "Did you bring the money to buy the Arcane Core?" ”
Annan waved his hand, and hundreds of cash boxes filled the surrounding open space: "Here are 382,000 jinnars, and there are 18,000 jinnars I will go to the theater to get them." ”
There are no banks in this world, so the "Gringotts Bank" designed by Annan has also been turned into a warehouse for storing goods. The merchants of the Tatoon Empire had better react slowly, or at least not get out of the bank before Annan.
"Theater?"
"Looks like you really don't know...... Are you going to come with me? ”
"Put it away." Orin turned and walked out.
"Oh."
Annan put away the cash box that was satisfying but soon no longer belonged to him, and followed Orin to the stables.
Orin stood in front of a carriage, empty of the carriage, with only a cleaner silhouette than the surrounding one.
"Huh? What about the family emblem? Annan was surprised to find the missing family emblem.
"Stolen by a despicable thief."
"It's hateful." Annan echoed.
"yes...... I'm ready to arrest the burglar who offended the Montreal family in the Tatooun Empire, put him in a dungeon, and confiscate all his possessions......" Orin said playfully.
"Hmm...... I think you're too cruel, maybe he's going to have some hard time. ”
"Get in the car." Orin took the horse brought by the groom and turned over on the horse.
"Where are we going?"
"Prison."
Annan was silent, the tall war horse stopped in front of him, and the saving words came from the horseback: "Aren't you going to take me to the theater?" ”
Annan sat in a carriage with only traces of the Montreal Golden Family, and as soon as he and Orin approached Montreal Hill, they saw a group of heavily armored knights in full plate armor leaving the city.
It is said that this is the first dozen knights to leave the city in recent days, and the heavy sound of horseshoes and their goals have made Annam's blood boil.
But now he's just a quasi-floating city lord.
Orin tugged at the reins and continued on her way as the knights passed.
Annan, who was in the carriage, popped out of the window and talked to Ou Lin. Some passers-by looked at the carriage in surprise and exchanged ears. Orin heard a few words.
"They seem to call you Jack? Why? ”
Orlin's inquiry was answered: a giant painting hanging on Annan and Evelyn embracing each other on a broken ladder of a surging rat tide, and a vast number of imperial capitalers gathered outside the theater.
No wonder Annan wondered she didn't know.
"This is your opera? Don't look at me like that, they and I just returned from hunting when I met you. ”
"Have you ever heard of magical images?"
……
Ruth...... Promise me ......"
"I don't ...... I can't do ......."
"You promised me...... You will travel all over the world, feel free and wonderful, have one or more children ......"
"That's really...... It's so touching......" The old ancestor wiped the wet corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "these damn rat people ......"
Her withered hand reached out again...... In the northern snowfields thousands of miles away from Montreal, the elite rat tide that was marching in the snow suddenly raised its head-
Like the iron felt of the gods, the sparks burst out, and above the red clouds, a meteor rain fell towards the rat tide on the snowfield.
