Alien world

Chapter 115 114. Unexpected result

Annan could no longer comfort Martin with "You are smarter than an ogre".

The Winchet family carriage arrived in the evening.

The Wine Lady is still beautiful, but looking a bit sullen.

When Annan asked her what was wrong, she said: "Remember the last banquet? None of them came...I thought they were good partners."

At that time, Annan was being suspected of being a counterfeit, and Ms. Meijiu's family was also unable to sustain due to losses. It is natural to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the nobles and rich people are especially outstanding.

"Not this time."

Then he was a little strange, the lady of fine wine should not know this.

As if guessing what Annan was thinking, the corners of Ms. Meijiu's mouth curled up. "I'm in a much better mood now, thank you sweetheart."

Annan, who realized that he was being molested, had no choice but to ask: "What about the destruction of the winery?"

"Because of your intercession with Olmedo, the Noble family agreed to postpone the delivery until next spring, which is enough time for me to prepare the goods."

Soon after, Michael and the others arrived one after another.

Before setting off, Annan specially warned the ogre, "Don't eat people." Then he said to the orcs: "Don't hit people." The three carriages carrying everyone drove to the banquet hall.

……

The noisy road was crowded with carriages, and the elegant nobles greeted each other and stepped into the carriage.

This is a qualified and grand banquet.

As the protagonist of this banquet, many eyes focused on Annan who arrived.

The nobles and rich people greeted Annan in turn with wine glasses, and the ladies and girls smiled and winked at Annan, as if they had forgotten that he was imprisoned not long ago, and they no longer kept the distance.

After all, the disputes between the Reeves family and the Olmedo family have been reconciled, and even Jeffrey Olmedo himself was one of the guests at the banquet.As profit seekers who never take risks, they of course always follow the trend.

As for laughing at the weakness of the Reeves family boy from the bottom of his heart, he still admired Annan's forbearance, all of which were hidden under a warm smile.

Annan should come to greet them and remember their complicated names.

When the banquet was getting hotter, a fiery red arrow burst into the hall, flew over the heads of the nobles, passed through the arms of the waiters who stopped in a hurry, and landed on Annan's shoulder amidst a burst of exclamation.

The nobles who saw this scene suddenly realized: Yes, the fire crow is one of the symbols of the Reeves family. What could explain Annan's identity better than this?

Several nobles gathered around Annan consciously dispersed.Annan came to a secluded corner and took off the letter paper from Fire Crow's Claw.

The letter was co-written by Etilia and Layla:

The eldest sister praised Annan for hosting a banquet as a good way to integrate into the nobles of Breeze City, and the second sister threatened Annan to keep a distance from those beautiful girls.

In the end, the eldest sister reminded Annan again that the murderer has not been found yet, so don't relax.

The fire crow flew out of the window again and merged into the night.

Putting away the letter paper, Annan saw the countess standing at the dining table, twirling her wine glass, smiling elegantly.

Consciousness returned to the lively banquet, and Annan came to the countess.

The countess tonight is wearing a dark red gauze dress. The loose bustle and decorations make her look like a cluster of roses—of course, the most beautiful one is always the countess in the center of the cluster.

"I heard that you have been trying to help me after I heard that I was locked in the dungeon." Annan thanked the countess.

The countess didn't say anything, and frowned at Annan, reminding him of the girl in the meadow by the river bank of the castle.

"Mrs. Maria." Annan changed his words.

That delicate cheek continued to look at Annan.

"Okay..." Annan couldn't resist the gaze, lowered his voice, and whispered in the countess' ear, "Maria..."

"It's almost there."

The countess smiled beautifully, and gently pressed the wine glass against Annan's cheek. The scent of that red lip entered her nose, making Annan forget what to say.

"Uh... um..."

……

Not far away, the wine lady who was watching this scene flicked her wine glass: "If you don't go there, sweetheart will be played by that woman in the palm of her hand."

Della didn't move.

The wine lady wanted to say something, a golden figure walked towards Annan.

"Good evening, Countess."

Olmedo tore open the spider web woven by the countess and rescued Annan who was entangled in the spider web.

"Master Olmedo, hello." The Countess nodded her head reservedly and noblely.

"Sorry to bother you, but I have some business with Annan."

"It's ok."

The wine lady walked gracefully towards the ladies, and Annan and Olmedo who stood together attracted more attention.

"Still haven't found the murderer?" Annan asked him.

Olmedo shook his head: "And the Viscount has lost contact..."

Annan and Olmedo fell silent.After a while, Annan asked, "Why are ogres and orcs put in dungeons?"

"The orc killed a client who was behind on a bounty, and the ogre killed a band of hyena mercenaries who wanted his head."

are basically consistent with what they describe.

At this time, Francois ran to Annan with a burst of complaints and contempt:

"The old head of the Lawrence family is here again!"

Annan looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, but it was almost the same as last time. The strong old patriarch yelled at Annan when he came in: "Shameful thing!" Then he left angrily, as if he came to the banquet twice just to scold Annan.

"Why did he say that?" Annan was puzzled.

Olmedo pointed to his cheek.Annan realized something, and stretched out his hand to wipe his cheek, and the red mark rubbed on the back of his hand.

"Well, the old Patriarch probably thought it was your kiss..."

Olmedo responded with doubts.

At this moment, a shrill scream pierced the sky above the banquet hall.

A guest crushed the lady to the ground, canine teeth sprouted from the torn mouth, and sparse cilia emerged from the dress, like a shed hedgehog.

"Rat-humanized!"

Olmedo immediately realized what was happening.

A table knife cut across the silver light and pierced the necks of the rat-like guests. The blood sprayed the lady's face, and she let out a more horrific scream, which was covered up by screams from all over the banquet——several guests were rat-like. Humanized, frantically pounced on the people around.

All the guests were seized with fear, trampling, screaming and fleeing outside.

Della and the others gathered around Annan.

"Richard! The entire banquet hall is under martial law, no one is allowed to go out!" Olmedo ordered to his guards.

As soldiers poured into the banquet hall, the scene was quickly brought under control.While Annan and Olmedo were still on guard against the coming attack, the figure of a crow mask symbolizing plague and death entered the banquet hall.

One of the figures came to Annan:
"King of the North, please go back with us and cooperate with the investigation."

Olmedo nodded to him cryptically.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

As the initiator of the banquet, Annan is obviously responsible for this change.

Looking around the messy banquet hall—it seems that all the banquets he attended ended up being unhappy.
