"I am Joan Iksella Maria Behdad Clemonkett Montreal, the princess of the Golden Family!" Joan deliberately shouted in a tone with a northerner accent.

neat shawl short hair, masculine dress, delicate face, but Joan is still doing her old job...... It's just that it was slightly restrained in front of Annan before.

The largest city-state in the north of the Kingdom of Dumon, Levantu.

With the permission of the City Lord's Palace, Joan set up a tent in the Garden Square and introduced the return to the old people who received the leaflets.

The black-pressed crowd stood in the cold wind, staring at what seemed to be a big figure.

"I know her, she's a friend of Lord Annan!"

Hiding in the crowd, he shouted.

This makes people who have been in Leventu for a whole year seem to really remember that there is such a being by the side of the former king of the north.

Joan is introducing Liberty City, with a more beautiful view than Starmoon Bay, better treatment than Liberty City, free accommodation, jobs, and the city lord of Breeze City and Annan's sister as the deputy city lord...... But it avoided exaggerating the crisis in the north, which was requested by the City Lord's Mansion.

They could sell some friendship to the champion warlock who was in the limelight, but they couldn't be allowed to cause chaos.

But there are also locals who scoff: "If it's really that good, why do you want to run to recruit old people." ”

"It's because it's so good that you recruit old people...... Lord Annan and Lord Olmedo have never forgotten your support, otherwise why did they choose to give you a sum of money when they parted? They want you to survive and be reunited in the future. ”

As someone who once rode a horse-drawn carriage alone to do business between Breezy and Beta, Joan's eloquence reminded many of the old people of their former lives and shed tears.

They are not only the people of Starmoon Bay and Breeze City, but also the people of the Kingdom who have fled here.

Joan said softly: "Not only the people, but all the old people who have been homeless after the fall of the kingdom can go to Liberty City...... Because Lord Annan is not only the lord of the city, but also the eternal king of the north! ”

"But...... Your Royal Highness, what if we already have a family here? A man dressed in warm clothes and looking good mixed up asked.

"If you wish, you can bring your loved ones with you."

The person who had scoffed at him hurriedly accosted a woman next to him: "Beautiful lady, am I honored to be your husband?" ”

"Stay away from my wife." In December in the north, a strong man still dressed in a thin cloth drove him away.

Joan continued: "If you are willing to go to Liberty City, please sign up here first, and you will set off with the team to Typhoon Shelter Town, where Olmedo, the former lord of Breezy City, is the territory, where you will be taken to a new home and start a new life. ”

"I used to be a fisherman, can I continue?"

A bitter cold wind brought a shivering shout.

"I know a lot of people don't know about Liberty City right now, so I brought these things ......"

Joan held up the Philosopher's Stone, which was familiar to many old people.

Lewintú's mage regiment raised a thermostatic barrier in the square, and the crowd of sign-ups crowded into the tent.

They first gave the old people who signed up a cotton coat and a fast suit, and then gave them a bowl of hot soup that warmed people's hearts in the cold winter, and then sat in the warm enchantment and watched "When Freedom Knocks on the Door".

There should be three or four thousand old people gathered in Levanttu, and there should be six or seven thousand people counting the old people of the kingdom...... It's not too much, but with the publicity, the old people of nearby towns will also be attracted to it.

On the first day, they included a total of 723 people, of which less than 300 were from Starmoon Bay and Liberty City.

But the next day, things changed.

The people of the Lord's Mansion came to her and asked to go to the banquet and show a magical image at the banquet. Joan couldn't put it off, so she had to choose "The Fall of the Mage Tower" and "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to attend the banquet.

They didn't know Joan's identity, thinking that she was really the princess of the Montreal family, and they offered gifts and performed noble ceremonies.

Joan is still a little clever. She is pretending to be a princess of the Kingdom of Rikaner, not from the Tatooun Empire.

Anyway, the kingdom of Rikanr can't make a sound right now, but the empire can trouble her at any time...... The old-fashioned officials of the Imperial Etiquette Department are afraid of even the real Imperial Princess.

And the princess identity of "abandoning the dark and turning to the light" can always win favor, and can also get closer to the old people.

Joan enjoys the crowd while trying to maintain her identity.

In the middle of the banquet, "The Fall of the Mage Tower" also came to the approach of the rat tide. At this time, a heavily armored knight carrying the cold wind of the outside world came in with heavy steps.

"Your Highness the Princess."

The heavily armed knight knelt on his left knee and saluted, and a dull female voice came from his armor.

If Annan had been there, he would have recognized her: Klein.

A member of McKell's team, Annan later met her in the outer courtyard of the Royal Capital Dagger Academy, and gave her a New Year's gift.

But now Joan and Klein don't know anyone: "Who are you?" ”

"I am Klein, Annan's former companion. I want to ask you, will he fight the nezumi. If I will, I'll go with you. ”

The surrounding guests looked at her, and some of them knew her and frowned.

Joan thought for a moment and said, "Annan's honor doesn't need me to explain too much. Even if you don't know, you should know that the Second Expedition was initiated by Lord Annan. ”

"I can't give you a specific answer, valiant knight. But I assure you that you will always have confidence in Annan's determination to reclaim the North. ”

The knight raised her head, she still hadn't taken off her helmet: "Then I'll go to Liberty City with you." ”

……

There is never enough money to spend.

Freetown's finances have never been stable—either skyrocketing or declining.

Originally, this kind of financial change was "normal", but with the turmoil in the north, they suddenly had more places to spend their money.

Even a year from now, Liberty City will not be as embarrassed as it is now.

Annan thought of many ways to accumulate money,

For example, issuing bonds, starting a bank, such as issuing special edition specialties: a signed version of the Fast Suit, an expanded version of the magic image, an endorsement version of lemon soda, a Jack's version of the corset, a Liberty City version of Solitaire......

But no matter which one of them, you can't make a lot of hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a short period of time.

Annan needs to make quick money.

"If you really want to make money, why don't you go to the South?" "There's a lot of commerce there, and it's not yet looted by magical images. ”

"You should say baptism."

"If you can understand it, we just got a foothold in the Steellord Collar."

Annan was thoughtful, he did have the idea of going to the south to see the customs and customs a long time ago......

But there's still work to be done......

Looking forward to a trip to the south, Annan decided to set off on the New Year, which coincided with the "apocalypse forecast".
