Alien world

Chapter 24 Chapter 24. Rescue Tasia

wow -- wow --

The frequent sound of flipping books disturbs the tranquility of the library.

[Warlocks can only use the power of awakening, and are destined to be inferior to magicians in all aspects.A normal magician can choose any of the six schools of magic, even if he is not good at it, he can eventually learn it.But warlocks can only use the spells of their awakened power...]

Da da--

Even the slightest sound of footsteps makes Annan look up.

Little Winchet picked a book from the bookshelf, returned to Mr. Victor, and the words "City of Breeze" floated vaguely.

Annan tried to return his attention to the book, but Tasia's condition put him in no mood.

[...The advantages of warlocks?It's just that the number is smaller, and learning spells is faster...]

Even the conflict between mages and warlocks does not keep Annan immersed in the story.

"You haven't been able to calm down since morning."

Mr. Victor's cane looked at the table, which woke Annan up.

Just as Annan was about to explain the situation, Mr. Victor raised his wrinkled cheeks: "I don't want to listen to your excuses. Today you will be absent from work for half a day. Go back and solve the problem before returning to work."

"Thank you, Mr. Victor!"

Annan sat up excitedly, ran out frizzily, and then ran back to put down the key.

A few minutes later, Annan came to the haunted gold mine.At this time, Tasia was still in the mine, and Annan paid two copper coins to ask a miner to help her out.

Annan first checked Tasia's wound in the shed, and it seemed that it was not serious.But when he removed the shackles and untied the strips of cloth, he saw that the rot that had been cleaned up yesterday had been laid by flies to lay fine white maggot eggs.

Tasia wasn't a real tauren, and didn't have the physique to recover without rest.

"You really don't want to rebel against the contract that enslaved you?" Annan endured the stench to clean up the maggot eggs, and looked at him seriously.

"A contract is more important than death."

Tasia was as stubborn as a dwarf.

It is also different from the tauren that Annan read in the book... After all, no tauren likes philosophy and painting.

"Take me to the foreman."

Annan asked Tasia to take him to find the person who held Tasia's contract.After expressing his intention, the foreman lion opened his mouth wide: "Two kinnars."

"You bought...he only spent 70 silver coins."

"That was the previous price."

"He's lost 20 pounds since you bought him. His ankles are rotten and maggots. How much energy does he have to work? How much longer?"

The foreman frowned, and of course smelled the disgusting rancid smell: "One gold and fifty silver."

It still exceeded Annan's psychological threshold.Staring at the skinny guy for a moment, Annan gave up on provoking him and letting Tasia break his head off.

"A kinnar, I'll go back and get the money now if I can."

The foreman mused.The newly discovered veins are close to exhaustion.Soon these slaves will be sold again, and now they can earn an extra 30 silver coins... The most important thing is that they can be pocketed.

"can."

"I'll go back and get the money."

Annan couldn't fully believe the foreman in the gray area, and leaned closer to Tasia and whispered: "If I don't come back before dark, he is playing tricks, subdue him, and rescue me..."

It seems that he thought too much, and nothing happened when Annan returned to the town from the gold mine.Back at Aunt Susan's house, he dug out 20 silver coins from under the bed and ran outside.

"Annan, where are you going?"

Aunt Susan held the laundry tub and shouted at Annan's hurried back.

"I have something to do!"

"Go and follow little Annan!" Aunt Susan yelled at Martin, who was chopping wood.

Martin ran out hastily, and then ran back to lay down the axe.

Annan soon found out that Martin had followed him, and simply told him that he was going to borrow money from Mr. Fast.

"Why don't you ask Aunt Susan?"

"Aunt Susan has helped enough."

Annan could no longer speak to Aunt Susan who had been helping him.

Rush to Dawn Tavern, it is not open yet, only Fast and Soluman Bronzebeard talking in the empty hall.

The female dwarf was just about to hide in the wine cellar when she saw Annan and Martin coming.

"Why did you come so early?" Fast asked strangely.

"Mr. Fast, I would like to borrow a gold coin from you."

"Yes, you have to lend us." Martin agreed, "If you don't want to borrow money, I won't come to work today."

"Anything like this?"

Fast came to Annan and looked down at him.

"I don't want to lend it to you, Annan." This elite fighter has his own insistence. "'Roses matter because of the time you spend on them' is what you told me."

"It's not an aptitude test." Annan recounted Tasia's experience from the beginning, and pulled Martin, "Martin can testify."

"The big orc?"

"It's a half tauren."

Distinguishing between tauren and orcs was somewhat difficult for Martin.

Soluman Bronzebeard jumped to the floor with a "boom", rushing towards Annan like a rolling wine barrel, his eyes that were about to be hidden in the braids of his thick beard shone with a strange light.

"Is what you said true?"

"she is my friend."

"Will you be friends with a half-tauren?"

"Ah."

"I'll lend it to you!" Soluman Bronzebeard said excitedly, patting his chest.

Fast remained calm: "Then what about your aptitude test?"

"Knowledge will not disappear, it will only increase." Annan suppressed his desire for magic.

Soluman Bronzebeard had already taken out a gold coin.Annan thanked him for accepting it, and looked at Fast: "Mr. Fast, I still want you to do me a favor."

……

The yellowing sky, the quiet woods, the silent camp.

Tasia was still in the shed, and Annan saw a miner run away after seeing him.Before long, the foreman appeared in front of the shed.

According to the agreement, Annan took out a Jinnar with the profile of the Goddess of Wealth printed on it: "What about the contract?"

"It's up now, boy. Two kinnars."

The foreman's eyes reflected the gold coins, grasped predictably by greed.

"Mr. Fast."

Annan, who had been prepared for a long time, let out a low voice, and a broad-shouldered, muscular silhouette stepped out of the shadows.

Fast was shorter than Tasia, but as an elite professional, the pressure brought by his aura made the foreman speechless in fear.

"How much do you want now?"

"One... one gold coin is enough..."

"I think 1 Kinnar is too high a bargain."

"Of course... I, I bought it for 70 silver coins, and I should sell it to you for 70 silver coins..."

"Get some money."

Annan threw the gold coins to the miners, but did not continue to bargain.Although he can.

The foreman took out the contract and quickly fled here.

"Is this it?" Annan handed the contract to Tasia.

"This is my slave contract."

Under the yellowing afterglow of the setting sun, Tasia held up the contract, knelt on one knee in front of Annan, and bowed her head obediently. "Now, you are my master."

"Do not."

Annan took the crumpled contract and tore it in half.

"No one is your master anymore."
