Alien world

Chapter 188 41. The news that is far apart

Annan returned to the burning frame in the village, forgot what happened during the day, and ran to the burning frame to save people.

At this time, the rope that bound the beautiful woman suddenly slipped, and her red lips parted slightly, thanking the hero Annan for saving the beauty. The firewood around her turned into a big bed covered with velvet at some point.

The beautiful woman pushed him down and was about to sit astride when a giant spider emerged from the shadow behind her, entwined her and dragged her into the shadow——

The sweet dream turned into a nightmare, and Annan was awakened.

There was a faint light outside the window covered with snow, and it was already early morning.But the dream is still there, and the perfume is still lingering in the nose.

Annan wanted to get up, but because of the cold, he slipped back into the quilt, and pulled the coat on the bedside table into the quilt.

Recalling what happened last night, Annan suddenly found some problems: "The Fall of the Mage Tower" was blurred and tilted, and there were crowds of people at the bottom. It was obviously a pirated copy of the sneak shot... But the price was 10 copper coins, and there were only a dozen or so customers. How did they recover the cost?
The eternal magic stone?What can they do with the money.

After curling up under the quilt, he put on his cotton-padded clothes, put on his hood, and then went out to the corridor. When he was about to go downstairs, he heard a faint shout coming from the bottom of the stairs.

"I said they were friends!"

Annan stopped on the stairs and saw Joan through a narrow angle who was arguing with Uncle Murma.

"I really treated them like I treated Little Joan's friends..."

"Not that kind of friends! Fat sheep, friends, and idiots are 'friends'! Remember our agreement, 'fat sheep' will be ten times, 'friends' will be double, and idiots will be 'five times'..."

"But I have already received the money..."

"That's also—"

Da da da--

"—No! No more time, they are my friends!" Joan shouted to the astonished Uncle Murma, regaining her reserve and gestured to Annan who was going downstairs.

"Good morning, Francois."

"Good morning, Joan."

Annan ordered breakfast as if he hadn't heard anything, and sat in the empty seat.

"Have you known Uncle Murma for a long time?"

"Hmm... Uncle Murma was my former bodyguard. He faithfully protected me from the poisonous claws of the vicious queen, but caused the death of my wife and daughter in the capital..."

Uncle Murma behind the counter sighed: "My wife and daughter have indeed passed away..."

Not long after, Alstoff and the others also came to the hall, and the breakfast prepared changed from one to four.

"Good morning."

The knight girl sat down, and the lonely man next to her sniffed suspiciously.

"Don't you want it?" Annan asked Joan.

"I'm not in the habit of eating breakfast."

After the words fell, her stomach grunted in response to the occasion.The fallen princess pretended to be calm, and told a joke about the Tatum Empire:
An old rich man called his three sons into an empty room, gave each of them a silver coin, and told them that whoever filled the room would inherit all the property.The eldest son bought a pile of firewood, but it didn't fill the room.The second son lit many candles in the room, but the old rich man pointed at his shadow and smiled without saying a word.The third son invited a bard and asked him to praise "the empress of the Tatum Empire is kind and gentle" in the room, and swear words and foul language immediately filled the room.

As the story was told, a cheerful atmosphere filled the entire tavern.

The waiter came over with breakfast, Annan hesitated and said, "Suddenly I'm not too hungry..."

Joan was like a cat with fur: "I'm a princess and I don't need your pity!"

"You misunderstood, I just want you to help me bring it to the poor outside."

"I really can't do anything about you, hum, I'll throw it outside!"

Joan picked up the plate, the smell made her stomach growl again, she patted her clothes angrily and made a muffled sound, and walked out of the hotel.

Annan got up and went to the counter.

"That child...she is not bad, she donated all the money she earned to the orphanage." Uncle Murma said with emotion.

"I know."

On the way, Annan saw patches on Joan's clothes and unsold toys hidden at the bottom of the cargo box. She didn't eat much along the way.

A businessman cannot be so poor.

And the hotel room fee is only 15 copper coins, which is cheaper than the Morning Breeze Tavern in Breeze City.Joan and Uncle Murma didn't want to make their money.

"I want to ask you something."

"Although my old store is not as well-informed as the tavern, it's okay." Uncle Murma said kindly, poured a glass of water and pushed it to Annan.

"I wanted to participate in the auction, but I didn't make it in time...I heard that there was an accident at the auction?"

"Accident...are you talking about theft?"

"theft?"

Uncle Murma said that an incredible accident happened after the auction: a magic ring worth 4000 gold coins bought by Danilo Durham was stolen by a mage tower mage.The frustrated Durham family sent private soldiers, offered a reward, and even questioned why the mage tower cultivated thieves.

This is not the same as the message sent back...

And question the mage tower?Before Annan set off, he came out of the Mage Tower.

Regarding the Durham family, you can call it a supporter or a thug, they are equivalent to the vassals of the twelve kings in the north.A magic ring is precious, but the Diatra family should not be allowed to frame the mage tower...

"Did they catch the mage?"

"Not yet, I guess people have run away."

Joan slipped shivering back to the hotel as the morning chill poured into the hall. "I searched for a long time before I found the poor. After running for so long, I need money, but this time it's fine."

With a clean lip, Joan put the plate back on the counter.

bang——

The knocked open door shook the hotel, and the cold wind carried five figures into the hall without closing the door.

The man shivered in the corner and did not dare to close the door. He followed their clerks and stood up, motioning to Annan and Alstoff: "It's just a few of them."

"who are you?"

Annan stared at the five professionals who seemed to be mercenaries in front of him.The animal hides and hairs on their leather armor were sticky, giving off a bloody smell like rust.

"We have accepted the commission to deal with the anomaly in that village." The thin lady holding the staff said proudly.

The clerk looked around at the people in the hall, fixed his eyes on Annan, and ordered: "Civilian, take these professionals to the village where the accident happened."

"I do not accept."

The clerk who hadn't reacted reprimanded: "You are violating the laws of Betar City!"

"You can go by yourself, the village is just beside the road."

The angry clerk was about to say something, but the leader of this group of mercenaries, a fierce man wearing a ferocious white wolf cap, stopped him.He took out a coin from the purse and tossed it lightly—Kinnar arced and fell into the water glass on the counter.A trace of bright red floated from the gold coin that sank to the bottom of the water.

"now what?"

"I don't accept that no one will show you the way."
