"You guys are unreasonable! You're actually handing out magic weapons to a bunch of untouchables! ”

The sudden hysteria and indignation of the bandit leader made Annan curious, and stopped Jack, who was about to gag him: "Why can't you?" ”

"Mudbloods, who are only slightly better than slaves, are also worthy of magic weapons!" The bandit leader, who was still a mage's apprentice, shouted.

The recruits around showed indignation, but some bowed their heads.

The rules of this world are not to be dissolved by a few full meals, and they have not yet had time to be baptized with lingua franca proficiency.

Annan looked around, and suddenly let the earth elemental lift a floor tile.

"See? This is oralcum. ”

"You...... You...... This is not a floating city. "The bandit leader suddenly lost his struggle.

"Who says I'm not a floating city?" Annan said strangely, leading him to the Arcane Core.

When the sublime splendor of human wisdom appeared before his eyes, the leader of the bandits lost all resistance, and his lips pouted: "That...... Why don't you float up......"

"Is it stipulated that the Floating City must float?"

After showing off, Annan returned to the camp and said in a voice that all the recruits could hear: "Now, let me answer your question: they are worth it." ”

The recruits raised their heads.

"If the magic props could help soldiers return safely from the battlefield and reunite with their loved ones, I would not hesitate to pay this money. I will also let them go to school, so that they can learn knowledge and truth, and they will not be discriminated against, and they will not be discriminated against. ”

A modest speech.

But no nobleman ever said so, did so. From the Elven calendar to the Yves Saint Laurent calendar, ordinary people have always been the leftovers of war, like slave rats in the rat plague, and the focus is always on the professional.

All the epics, all the praises belong to the professionals, and only standing on the edge play the inglorious thief-like ordinary people.

This accumulation of classes stems from the inertia of the rulers to assert their rights: the aristocracy asserts its rule, and the professions assert their position. But Annan did not fit in, and when a nobleman and a commoner stood in front of him, he could not judge who was nobler and who was inferior.

The recruits are full of loyalty, and Annan also asks Rossi to take the bandit leader to a makeshift dungeon, followed by personal issues.

"The Mad Dog Grand Duke asked you to come?"

The leader of the bandits paused for a moment before realizing who Annan was talking about: "You are insulting a great nobleman!" ”

"Do you know who I am?" Annan asked rhetorically, "The King of the North, the Champion Warlock, and the Lord of Gem City, that Mad Dog Grand Duke must also be respected in front of me. ”

The leader of the bandits remained confused, and it seemed that he really didn't know anything.

"So why is the Mad Dog Grand Duke targeting me?"

"Mad Dog ...... Lord Gilles thinks you're invading the principality! ”

"I have the Pioneer Order from the Archduke Bullock that the Tatunn Empire gave me."

"The Duchy of Montabullloc does not accept slavery, and there is only one Grand Duke!"

The bandit leader, or rather, the Mad Dog Grand Duke's men are loyal. Annan is not good at interrogation, so he handed over the rest to Dela.

As he went out, Annan heard the sound of whips and screams coming from the depths of the dungeon.

There should be results soon.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Ingrid arranged for Jack to lead a team of earth elementals to bury the body.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and dozens of corpses are easy to attract crows to spread the plague. The necromancers sighed that these high-quality corpses could only be used as useless garbage......

The next day, however, it was the necromancer's turn to rejoice: the first nezumi bones had been delivered.

Rows of wooden crates are opened, and piles of bones will cause the Tatooans to exclaim, "This is so artistic."

Annan went to the necromancer's "bone-turning ground" and watched them lay their bones on the gravel beach to dry, scrape off the disgusting strands of flesh, and then piece them together one by one, unleashing spells, and a skeletal rat-man was born.

Annan stuffed the farm tools into their hands, and it fit like they were born for farming!

The necromancers summoned as they pieced it together, and it took dozens of minutes to piece together about fifty skeleton nezumi from the bones.

These skeleton people have a strong aura of death. And then there's the main thing: they want to get rid of the smell of death that dislikes the creatures and causes the plants to wither.

It takes a lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of money, until the skeletons can even hold the child to sleep.

On the 10th day of the third month of the Saint Laurent calendar, today is the time when Annam and the caravan have made an appointment.

The caravan that followed the Twin Chancellors back to the Duchy of Keating should have arrived at its destination.

At noon, Annan, Itilia, and Ingrid stand in front of the open portal.

"Hello, Chancellor Browning, Chancellor Burke, and nobles." Annan introduced each other, "She is Etilia Reeves, the deputy lord of Gem City, and my sister. ”

"Hello, beautiful lady, I've been wondering who raised such an excellent boy." Chancellor Flamening greeted gentlemanly.

Annan handed over the rest of the trade negotiations to Editria.

The Duchy of Keating is united by a number of scattered lords, forming a tight and loose alliance, and the lords are all a little selfish among themselves, so that the goods of Gem City enter the Duchy of Keating have high and low taxes, as well as various requirements.

Annan was confident that the magical image had sparked the same craze in the Keating Duchy, but he was not at all confident that the lord would open his mouth......

Chancellor Burke was in charge of negotiating with Itilia, and Chancellor Flamening occasionally corrected or proposed, and then continued to observe Annan. At some point, Annan couldn't help but ask him, "Mr. Browning, why do you keep looking at me?" ”

"Young child, can you tell me why I smell nature in you?"

"Because of this?"

Annan took out the leaves of the World Tree.

Mr. Browning's expression changed, and he no longer looked down with the unique look of the immortal species: "Child, where did you get it from?" ”

"Emissary of the Elven Court."

"You're one of the lucky ones...... There are very few foreigners who have received gifts from the Elven Court. ”

Suddenly, the negotiations went smoothly. According to Minister Flamening, even the Elven Court was willing to make overtures to Annan, and there was no reason for them to turn away Gem City.

Even Chancellor Flamening wanted to forge a true alliance: he was ready to send an emissary to Gem City.

Annan readily agreed, but after closing the portal, Itilia told him not to expect too much: "If the Keating Duchy is really urgent, they will come through the portal." ”

"You mean we're just one of the targets of this emissary group?"

"Hmm."

It seems that the impact of the leaves of the World Tree is not as great as expected

In any case, the emissary delegation of the Duchy of Keating will arrive in Gem City in about half a month.
