Alien world

Chapter 295 148. The first day of contradiction

Wearing a cloak and a crow mask, the standard scavenger appearance.The key is that her voice is familiar to Annan.

Playful, a little rough, or a scavenger...

"Centurion?"

"Oh, I was recognized."

Annan suddenly reached out to pick off the mask of the centurion. She made a dodging movement, but she stopped and let Annan lift the mask.

Seeing the familiar brown-orange shattered hair and hideous scars, Annan pushed back the mask: "Why are you here?"

The centurion patted Annan away who was in a hurry, and put on the crow mask: "Because I have been transferred to the capital."

"Do not……"

A few days ago Annan saw the centurion in Breeze City, and the centurion was not as fast as the legendary mage's teleportation... He came to a reasonable conclusion: "Are you twins?"

"Who knows."

It seems that the cowhide will not be blown, Annan continued the previous words: "Why not? I killed countless bread, uh, Ratmen in Breeze City, and prevented the Ratmen from overthrowing Breeze City. This kind of feat can't be a centurion?"

The centurion didn't speak, but just watched Annan playfully through the crow mask, which made him a little uneasy, and he changed the subject tactfully: "What's the matter with the king?"

The waiter who brought the food on the plate also relieved the embarrassment just right.

"Didn't you know?"

"That's why I asked, the entire king's capital, the mage tower, the scavengers, the holy grail knights, the knight order, the college, and the royal family let the ratmen drive straight in? By the way, I still remind the heroes of the rat disaster."

The centurion ignores the credit part: "The royal family is working on it."

"Are you sure? When I came here, I saw people celebrating the defeat of the Ratman... The Ratman came out from the capital to attack me, and a whole clan is heading north. I can't understand your celebration at the beginning of the war."

The centurion sighed: "This is very complicated..."

"I won't interfere."

Annan said seriously.

He hates trouble.The incident in Breeze City was because he was involved in a conspiracy. He was too lazy to take care of the affairs of the capital, and it was not his turn—he was just a small lord in a remote village.

"Whatever you want, have fun in the capital."

"Of course I'm going to have fun..." Annan muttered, continuing to eat.

The portion of lamb soup was very small, and the amount of soft bread was too much for even a lady. The waiter came over with the bill, and Annan fumbled in his pocket, then froze there.

He is out of money.

Annan, who was used to doing nothing in Breeze City, only had a few coins in his pocket.

"The centurion..."

"I didn't eat again." The centurion said so and left the restaurant.

Annan faced the waiter alone: ​​"Can you tell me how much it is again?"

"Two silver pieces, sir."

"Two silver coins? It won't cost you fifty copper coins in Breeze City. I'll give you 80...one silver coin at most."

"Sir, this is the rule of Charles Restaurant, please don't embarrass us..."

At this time, the foreman who was leaning on the counter and staring at this side came over: "Is the stinky northern local running king ready to eat?"

At this time, Annan had three options: summon a large element to punish the foreman who looked down on the dog, and feel proud; open the portal to ask Olmedo for money, and use the money to knock the foreman unconscious; sincerely express his difficulties.

Annan raised his head: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring that much money... Can I owe you some first and send it over later?"

One silver coin and thirteen copper coins in his pocket were placed on the table.

The foreman, who was just about to scold, suddenly bumped into those mysterious and magnificent black eyes like black jewels:

"...We have free activities in our store, you are our lucky one, congratulations! Are you full? Tell me if you don't have enough."

"Really?" Annan put away one silver coin and thirteen copper coins in surprise, "I'm full, thank you..."

"nothing……"

The foreman watched Annan go out with a doting smile.

"When will we have this event?" The waiter next to him woke up the foreman.The foreman shook his head, and seemed to be a little more sober: "I just got it, let me go to work!"

……

Annan, who was penniless, stopped wandering around and returned to the manor. He said to the elderly head maid, "I spent two silver coins at the Charles restaurant about 500 meters away. Can you send it there?"

"Okay, Master Annan."

Then Annan buried himself in the study, and read many local works describing the customs and customs that are only found around the capital.

A day passed, and the royal family never summoned Annan.Anyway, Kerberos' teleportation scroll was on him, and Annan could wait—wait until the swarm of rats in the Far North County pushed south to the capital, and those big figures who were plotting something had to do something.

He still wanted to turn around and revisit the church where he fought, but his shy pockets hindered his steps.

On the afternoon of the second day after arriving in the capital, the first humiliation came: the bodyguard assigned to Annan by the Secretary of the Interior—a kobold.

The Kobold bodyguard was wearing a cool cloak with nothing underneath, holding up a spear, standing upright - almost reaching Annan's chest.

"What's your name?" Annan asked it.

"Odo! Master Annan!"

They thought they were humiliating Annan, and the whole capital was waiting to see Annan's jokes. In fact, Annan was very happy.There are quite a few kobolds on the outskirts of Pinglin Town and the Haunted Gold Mine. They drove away the miners and were driven away by the blue dragon. When Breeze City was first established, the kobolds ran away with the jackals. Later, they were invisible in Betal City because the kobolds were worthless. This made Annan never have the chance to meet the fantasy creatures he encountered for the first time in this world.

They are called kobolds, but they are actually more like lizardmen, with dragon-like heads on short bodies.Annan felt that the dragons looked at them like humans looked at dwarfs.

"Do you know me?"

"You are the king of the North! A well-deserved big shot!"

Kobolds can't think of anything too complicated.When Annan asked why it was a bodyguard, Odo honestly said that it was a slave raised by the Department of Internal Affairs, where there were many kobolds who did the same dirty work as it, and was lucky enough to be called by the big man to serve as a bodyguard for the King of the North.

There was also an invitation letter sent with the kobold guards: the signature was Duke Leondrey Albert, inviting Annan to attend the banquet tonight.

Knowing the estate of Duke Leandre Albert from the old headmaid, Annan set off in the evening, but because there was no carriage, he rented a carriage with the Kobold.

The kobold obviously couldn't drive a carriage, so Annan took the reins himself.Ten minutes later, Annan, who crossed half of the inner city, came to the manor of Duke Leandre Albert.

"Please also be careful not to let your 'guards' enter the banquet."

Annan handed over the invitation letter, and let the kobold stay outside the manor, and walked towards the noisy and lively banquet under the meaningful eyes of the housekeeper.
