Alien world

Chapter 251 104. Perfunctory Birthday

"One good news, one bad news."

Not long after, Annan passed the conversation to Olmedo without change.

"Tell me the good news."

At this time, Olmedo was still signing the decree in the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan opened his mouth and realized that he couldn't start with the good news: "You have to hear the bad news first."

Olmedo paused and smiled helplessly: "Then let's tell the bad news first."

"After a two-month voyage, the New Initial approached the Obiris Strait, and they found traces of the Ratmen."

Olmedo put down the quill and said to the corner of the room, "Tina, I'm going to Xingyue Bay."

Stepping into the portal, she appeared in Annan's study.This is not the first time Olmedo has been here, but the first time at night.The sea, the breeze, and the quiet town make for a peaceful night.

"Let's go out and talk."

Annan nodded and asked Abby to stay as a housekeeper, and he and Olmedo came to the street and walked towards the bay.

"Tell me what happened."

"The Calamity Ratman, the sacred weapon of the McCann clan, appeared there..." Annan then recounted the experience on the New Initial to Olmedo.

"This is really bad news..." Olmedo sighed.She had been pessimistic that the Ratmen would return, but it was too soon, and with menacing force.

"Is there any other good news?"

"We got the news several months in advance. It will take a long time for the McCann clan to come over and break through the barriers. Their goal may not be Xingyue Bay."

"It seems to be three good news."

Annan and Olmedo came to the coastal street, where it was a little more lively, and the sounds of the distant taverns and conversations on the beach were carried by the wind.

"We have to be prepared...a clan of ratmen will not go north for no reason," Olmedo said.

"Maybe it has something to do with the loss of contact with their mouse god?"

"Who knows..."

If some scholars write history in the future, they may use the Saint Laurent calendar as the beginning of the turbulent year - the gods lost contact, humans lost their protection, and the ratmen were about to move...

The vast bay didn't improve Olmedo's mood: "I have tried more than a dozen methods to make Breeze City as prosperous and strong as the southern city-state. Without exception, they all failed..."

"You didn't fail, but you confirmed a dozen ways that didn't work."

At this time, a figure squeezed over: "You never said that to me."

Annan expressed his disgust: "Because you swallowed my thousand gold coins and made one oil!"

"What is oil?" Olmedo asked curiously.

"A fierce oil that not even water can quench."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"A pound and a quinnar."

"I take it back."

Annan continued to stare at Michael: "Aren't you going to refine gunpowder?"

"Damn it, I didn't squeeze those mage apprentices that much!" Michael complained after running out, and then froze when Annan said "the rat man is coming": "What?"

"One good news and one bad news...Forget it." Annan told Michael what he had said to Olmedo.

"Are we just going to watch them come?"

"That's why I'm urging you to produce gunpowder through alchemy... When the Frost Giants invaded, we wouldn't have such trouble if we had gunpowder." Annan said seriously.

"...I'll go right away and recruit some mage apprentices for me!"

Michael hurried back to his alchemy room.

"Are we considered Rikaners?" Annan looked away.

"of course."

"Then can we ask the king for help?"

As the funnel-shaped Kingdom of Rekan, the McCann Ratman going north must pass through half of the Kingdom of Rekan, and maybe the king's capital is also on their way... They cannot remain indifferent.

"The king may not pay attention to these things. They are fighting to the death to support the new king. The nobles who used to shock Rakaner every time they die are now dying every day..."

"I do not know how?"

Evelyn was still racking her brains for each issue of the Moon Bay News.

Olmedo looked around Xingyue Bay, but did not speak.Annan understood what she meant—the self who was so devoted to Xingyue Bay didn't even know what happened in Breeze City recently.

"They won't be fighting for power when the Ratmen invade."

"You still don't know enough about the nobles... If the nobles can't survive, they will only try their best to drag the enemy into the water..." Olmedo felt pessimistic, but still accepted the proposal: "Just try as you said , a letter doesn’t cost much.”

The recipient will be the second prince.Annan's development order was signed by him, and he has some advantages in the battle for the throne.

When Olmedo was about to go back, a fiery arrow fell on the fence.

Annan took out the letter paper and money bag from Fire Crow's ankle, and came under the magic street lamp.

【My orphan brother:】

【Oh, you must have forgotten that you have two older sisters.When you are trying to figure out whether their name is Jessie or Nana, a birthday present prepared for you by your forgotten sister]

【Congratulations, you are one step closer to becoming an adult tomorrow.But remember little Annan, stay away from women outside until you are an adult! 】

The little Annan of Aunt Susan is doting, the little Annan of the wizard teacher is greedy, and the little Annan of Laila is threatening.

The time I chose at random happened to be Levi's birthday...

Annan opened the purse and took out a pair of wool socks - he guessed it was a gift prepared by Laila, because the names of Etilia and Laila were written on the bottom of the socks... The eldest sister is not so stupid.

And it's silly to send wool socks in the summer.

"I will prepare your gift." Olmedo said next to him.

Annan did not publicize his birthday, only his friends knew it.However, I still received many gifts the next day.Annan's most anticipated gift was Tasia's, but she still hadn't returned from the front line.Hope there are no surprises...

……

Whoa- whoa-

The sound of armor clashing echoed in the dull and depressing castle.

Stepping past the groaning wounded, past the glistening windows, and down the blood-stained corridor, the armored figure burst into the hall, reporting to his lord:
"Lord Mojaro, a ship is coming outside..."

In the gloomy morning, the mage who cast the levitation spell landed on the deck.

He keenly noticed that the water element on the ship was extremely strong, looked at the two figures surrounded by the crew, raised his head and said to them: "In the name of Lord Mogaro Shide, I am calling you, immediately—"

"Sorry, we are from the north, just to investigate the Ratmen clan." Francois refused.

"You..." The elite mage suddenly saw a large group of water elements gushing out of the cabin, and his tough threat turned into a plea: "...please help us."

Francois admired the castle that stood firm all night in the rat swarm, and promised: "I will consult the King of the North for you."
