Section 45.Annan plays Valencia with her own ideas
"Gui'an, Your Excellency."
The Paladins of the Church of Order greet the archbishop standing in front of the church.
Annan looked at the "good student" who had sent him to the dungeon not long ago: "The weather is really nice today...... I love rainy days. โ
"Pastor Sean also said there would be a heavy rain tonight."
"Go about your business, and have someone prepare a carriage for me."
Annan said, returning to his room.
Yesterday, or the first today, Annan didn't have time to observe the dragon skin gloves. He picked up the glove, which felt like a silk glove.
Annan did not know the specific properties of the dragon skin gloves. He can do it, but he can't.
The only non-summoning spells that Annan could think of were tricks, the hands of mages.
He tried to release the mage's hand, and after a few failed attempts, he succeeded in summoning an invisible hand that he could manipulate.
Annan tried to get it to pull out a book from the shelf, and continued to cast the spellโas it progressed from rusty to proficient, more and more mage hands appeared in the room, grabbing books, chairs, and even carrying desks.
Wondering if the mage's hand would be able to lift him, Reiner pushed the door in.
"Teacher, the carriage is ready......"
The young paladin froze at the door.
A dozen mage hands vanished, and the objects they were holding fell with a "thud", leaving the office in shambles.
"A little spell...... Don't care. Annan explained.
Reiner still didn't push the door in, and Annan didn't know if it was part of a temptation, and he forgot to ask yesterday.
"I'm going to go out next, put business at my desk, and I'll take care of it when I get back from the palace in the evening."
"Good teacher."
Reiner stepped over the books on the floor, put his business on the table, and looked down at the scattered books.
"You don't have to worry about it." Before Reiner became suspicious, Annan asked, "Reiner, what hobbies does that kid have?" โ
Reiner's attention was taken away: "You mean Corlett?" โ
"Well, it's her birthday, and I just her off yesterday......"
"You should have cared about your family a long time ago."
Annan deliberately kept a straight face, and Reiner had a smile on his face that would make the girl unable to take her eyes off: "I mean, girls should all like flowers, do you want to try it." โ
"I'll send flowers to Li...... Corlett, wouldn't it be bad? Annan tried to play the big man psychology who had a disagreement with his daughter and wanted to make up for it, but couldn't show it.
Just to not be said to be "lame acting" in today's dungeon summary.
"Some have been sent from Huadu, and I'll send them to your carriage now."
"Okay."
Reiner left, and Annan was in a happy mood. He's played it well so far.
Not long after, he came out of the church, took a cluster of blue flowers from Reiner, and got into the carriage.
"Do you have anything to say?" He asked Reiner, who seemed to want to say something.
Leta let out a light breath, "Don't you match us......"
"It seems that my students already have someone they like." Annan chuckled, setting off as Reiner struggled to stay serious.
Twenty minutes later, Annan returned to his lodgings in Valencia.
The neighbor, Mrs. Arthur, was packing her clothes.
"Good morning, Mrs. Arthur. The food cooked in the kitchen is about to burn. โ
Annan said to the servant in Mrs. Arthur's astonished gaze, "Do any of you know where Rosella's house is?" โ
"I know, sir."
A somewhat familiar maid said that Annan remembered that she was Corlett's personal maid.
"Take me there."
Valencia's memory fragment doesn't contain information about Rossella, but if she can play with the archbishop's daughter, she is at least a big nobleman -
Their eventual arrival at a manor house proves this.
The butler ran out to welcome the Archbishop of Valencia in, but stopped in front of the mansion and said in embarrassment, "Miss Collett won't let us in, can you wait a moment......?" โ
"I understand."
Annan said, standing patiently at the front of the steps and waiting.
A young girl walked out of the mansion and stood on the steps: "You are not welcome here. โ
"Corlett, I want to say sorry to you......" Annan continues to play the father's psychology who wants to make up for the family but can't show it.
"I shouldn't have been in charge of brokering you and Reiner, you can-"
"Dad, who are you talking to?"
Annan looked at Corlet, who suddenly appeared, and then looked at the girl who was standing on the side with Corlet's hair color and similar appearance.
"Uh......"
She blinked, "Uncle, I'm Rosella." โ
After being stunned, Corlett sneered, "Did you see it? He couldn't even tell which one was me......"
"Why are you so alike!?"
Annan could not understand. He thought Valencia was really just a family affair...... I didn't expect there to be a windfall!
"Because my father is your brother......" Rosella whispered.
Obviously, this part is not in the "memory fragments".
Annan held the flowers, looked at Corlett with a straight face: "Today is your birthday......
"Does that matter to you? I don't want to see you today! โ
Collitra turned away with Rosella, who was still waving.
Bang โ
The door was slammed shut.
Annan, who was messed up, had to come out, but instead of getting into the carriage, he wandered around the streets.
There's a third time anyway.
He observes the pedestrians on the street, everyone is alive, except for the fact that there is no tomorrow, this is simply a real world...... Annan walked into a bookstore and flipped through the books in awe of the manager, even with the words on each one.
Continue to wander the streets. Annan was still expecting to meet the princess in the evening when a group of familiar paladins and priests appeared from all around.
"How did I get exposed?" Annan humbly asked for advice.
"You think I'm going to tell you?" Reiner glared, "Where's my teacher!" โ
"You think I'm going to tell you?"
Annan's ending is still to be put in the forbidden ring and locked up in a strict church dungeon.
At some point, Reiner came to the dungeon.
"How's my acting?" Annan asked proactively.
Reiner's face showed some kind of complexity: "The teacher has never been so kind as he is today, but it's a pity that you are not his ......"
It seems that Valencia is really indifferent to the people around her, and even has opinions about her own students.
Because about the Archbishop of the Order Church, a powerful person, no one came to interrogate Annan. Corlett also doesn't show up like "yesterday". It seems that she does not yet know the news of "her own father".
In the middle of the night, Annan returned to reality.
"I've failed again."
"It's okay, you still have a lot of opportunities." Valencia reassured.
Annan felt that the mentality of the Archbishop of Valencia was changing...... At first, he only wanted to satisfy himself and his daughter's regrets, but now he still wants to watch himself perform.
"Where am I exposed?"
"I love books."
Annan knew what the problem was: "You have a keen student. โ
"That's exactly why I kept him around."
