While Jerry was being toyed with by the gray mouse, Annan was carrying a basket and going out with Martin to buy firewood.

After three years of carefree growth, Martin is already a ...... who has inherited the common dimension of Aunt Susan and Uncle Holling Boy.

There is a beard representing a man on the side of his mouth. The hairstyle is Aunt Susan's usual style: silly mushroom head.

The relationship with Annan has not changed from the simplicity of Aunt Susan's family, Uncle Holling is now the foreman of the workers, and Aunt Susan is the spiritual leader of a group of women, rather than transforming into an aristocratic family that relies on Annan to rise.

The only problem is that Annan, who has not changed for three years, follows Martin, who is a head taller, and is almost like a cousin......

Walking into the firewood shop, the young clerk was stacking a pile of firewood in the corner with his back to them.

"I buy 10 pounds of oak." Martin said.

The young clerk didn't see Annan, and said without looking back: "The price of oak firewood has risen, now it's 10 copper coins and 3 pounds." ”

"How much was yesterday?"

"8 copper coins and 3 pounds."

Martin crossed his arms: "I bought yesterday's." ”

After a while, Martin and Annan, who had spent 30 copper coins for 10 pounds, returned home.

Martin told Aunt Susan about the price increase in the price of wood in a loud voice.

"Really? Is that so, little Annan? "Aunt Susan didn't believe him.

"Well, the oak wood did go up to 10 pounds, but they only needed 30 copper coins for my sake." Annan would never deceive his family.

Aunt Susan looked down at the 66 copper coins Martin had handed her and held the broomstick.

Eat fried meat with a broom today.

There will be some inappropriateness for parents to hit a child who has grown up, but if that person is Martin, it's fine.

At noon, Annan sat at the dinner table with Aunt Susan's family, talking about what to ask Martin to do.

"Isn't he the assistant manager of the tavern?" Annan asked suspiciously.

Aunt Susan was angry: "He sent a cup of blood to the elf's table!" The guests made a fuss, and Mr. Fast kicked him out. ”

"He's so pretty, and he says something to drink, I thought he's a vampire......" Martin muttered.

Annan only hoped that the elf was not a messenger of the elven mission, otherwise even Liberty City would be implicated by Martin......

"I think the student position at the school is a good fit for him." Annan said seriously.

Not everyone has the ability to make Mr. Evaro speechless.

Aunt Susan hesitated and said, "But Martin graduated some time ago......"

"Aunt Susan, the one-month semester at school is just a quick start. Now the school is expanding, and the semester will be increased to three months or even six months. ”

This time Aunt Susan was relieved, but it was Martin's turn not to agree: "I have become a husband." ”

The other three people at the table were stunned at the same time.

"Where's your wife?"

Annan was worried that Martin would say something like "tavern succubus", but he didn't expect Martin to say the young clerk at the wood shop.

"I think she likes me."

……

"What dreams are you thinking?"

In addition to the scurrying rats, the dark dungeon also has the sarcasm of the bard: "It just told you not to confess it." ”

"Filipino...... Lord Grey Rat is not such a person. ”

"You should say, not such a rat."

Jerry fell silent, and after some time, the bard said, "How are you trying to kill me?" ”

The intention was recognized, and Jerry did not deny it.

Jerry, who thought he was going to die in the dungeon, confided a lot of ...... before Now that he realized that it wasn't like that, he began to regret that he shouldn't have told him about Philos.

"It's really sad...... You're like a marionette, fiddling with the Grey Mouse......"

"What is a marionette?"

"The sad life of the nezumien...... Jerry, do you want to play a game with me? ”

"What game?"

"Did you mention me to Philosopher?"

“…… Well. ”

"This game is ...... I won't be carried away by them. ”

"Who are they?"

The Bard didn't answer Jerry, and the whisper continued to float in, "If I'm taken away by them, it's just trying to shut you up." ”

"But it could also be to clean up the rats who know too much." Jerry interrupted.

"So to play this game? I was carried away by them, proving that I was right. I'm still in the dungeon, so you're right. ”

Jerry didn't answer it.

Compared to a bard he had never met, why should Jerry suspect Philos?

This is the end of Jerry and Bard's simple friendship...... Until a few hours later, a team of nezumi guards came to the dungeon—

They're here to catch bards.

Jerry watched the reflection on the scarred wall struggle and hissed, "Never trust the Grey Mouse!" They are children of deceit and treachery! ”

It was hit in the abdomen by the guards on the side, arched like a shrimp, covered its mouth, and dragged out.

……

"Why don't you let us scream!"

Ghal, the patriarch of the Timber Wolf tribe who ran to Aunt Susan's house, expressed his displeasure to Annan.

"Because people complained to me, and I didn't think it was good to have a war cry like 'cut off the enemy's head and make a bowl'......"

Aunt Susan went out by Uncle Hollin's ear, leaving room for both of them.

Facing the aggrieved Gal, Annan tried his best to be euphemistic: "I'm not saying that this is bad, it's just with the ...... of Liberty City The ethos doesn't quite fit. ”

"What is Ethos?"

"That's it...... The empire is warlike, so their slogan is to make boots from the skins of their enemies. The elves are peace-loving, and their slogan is to exterminate the people who harm the forest......"

In the past, Gal definitely didn't understand such a complicated thing, but after mastering the lingua franca and studying at school for a month, Gal was able to understand it as if he didn't understand it.

"You used to be from the orc tribe, and now you are from Liberty City, why don't you try to change the tribe to Liberty City......" Annan said in a good way.

"Bring the enemy's bones back to Liberty City to be a totem?" Gal tried to shout.

"It's not such a blunt substitution, but with some ...... Normal war cry, like changing 'For the Horde' to 'For Free City'? ”

"I got it!"

Annan paid a little attention to the Fourth Army, which was clearing the bandits in the north. It is said that now a group of orc hoplites rushed up shouting something like "For Free City" and "For Chief Annam".

With the opening of trade routes between Freeville and the Overwatch, there was an endless stream of Duchy people heading to Freetown. Among them are both merchants and nomads who are attracted by the beauty of Villefranche.

They had enough excuses - after all, even the Grand Duke stayed in Liberty City and refused to leave.

Battle in the North: In addition to the main force gathered by the McCain clan, there are also scattered rat tides heading south from all directions, one of which is approaching the border of the Duchy of Montabulllock.

The Fourth Legion was heading that way, and Annan was not worried, for the heart of the sleeping Elimayas was slowly recovering.

As soon as Elimoas wakes up, everything will be solved.
