Alien world

Chapter 46 Chapter 46. Gold Map

Mr. Fast is a good man, the Bard is a good man, and Mr. Victor is eccentric but also a good man.

Annan took to heart what everyone taught him:

Keep a distance from the nobles, don't be corrupted by desires, and control yourself and power.

At this time, Annan was standing in front of the vanity mirror, wearing a black slim dress similar to a tuxedo.The eyes under the messy black hair are clear and pure, lingering the temperament of an invisible warlock.

No wonder Aunt Susan said that Annan must be a nobleman or a prince.

Frankly speaking, Annan, who is used to rough linen clothes and slovenly appearance, was a little uncomfortable with this delicate appearance.But there is no need to make yourself ashamed in order to hide your clumsiness.

In particular, it is said that the wine lady will also attend the dinner party.

"Sir, please allow me to be honored to be able to wear this piece of clothing on your body..."

The female store manager of the clothing store looked at Annan like she was looking at the lover of her dreams, especially when he blushed shyly because of the compliment.

"How much is this suit?"

"This dress made of wool from Lund costs only 15...10 silver coins."

Annan, who had just been shocked by the price of the magic scroll, subconsciously thought it was cheap, but realized it in a blink of an eye—10 silver coins were enough to buy hundreds of pounds of black bread.

Glancing at Fast, who was leaning against the window and looking at the street, Annan whispered, "Can I rent it?"

"Of course, the price...you can wear it for free!"

"Thank you, I will definitely wash it and send it back."

"Can't be washed!" The sudden scream made Fast look back, and the female store manager coughed and explained: "Lund's wool needs special washing, you can send it after you wear it."

"Ok."

Annan nodded in confusion.

Back in the car, as the carriage drove away from the clothing store and he refused to look away, Annan asked Fast, who was still wearing the greasy stained yellowed shirt:
"Why don't you dress like this?"

"Because everyone in town knows I'm a fighter, and that's what a rude fighter should be."

Fast lives up to people's stereotypes.

……

The rich man's street is located in the center of the town, and the mayor's mansion is located in the center of the rich man's street.Although the heart of Pinglin Town is not heavily guarded, a small number of professionals are arranged here.

All the aristocrats, the rich and some middle-class people in the town were invited to the dinner, and there were people who were well-dressed and unknown everywhere.

Pastries, fruits, and cooked products are placed on the long banquet table.The food these customers didn't care about made Annan care about it.What's worse, his outstanding appearance made him the focus -- at least many guests around him were whispering which nobleman Annan was.

It was the mayor who appeared to attract attention.The mayor Annan met for the first time was called Exela Perez, a native of Plang Enci County, whose father was the head of the bodyguard of King No. 80 VI of the Kingdom of Rikaner.

It stands to reason that the descendants of the palace guards should follow the tradition and continue to serve the royal family in the capital. The bard once guessed that his father's generation should have offended someone...

The mayor, whose hair was already mixed with silver threads, was about to enter old age, firstly welcomed the guests, and then talked about the taxes of Pinglin Township in the first quarter of this year.

Annan was finally able to observe his surroundings while grabbing two grapes and stuffing them into his mouth, or cutting off a piece of cake to enjoy.

This kind of behavior made him the first to discover the wine lady and Lindy who entered the door. As soon as they wiped off the cream on their lips, they heard the mayor's speech: "——A young warlock has been awakened in our town."

Many eyes at the banquet turned to Annan.

Fortunately, Annan put down the cake ahead of time.

"Please allow me to be honored to announce that Annan is an honorary citizen of Pinglin Township."

The applause sounded, and Annan saw Fast's gesture, and walked to the stage meeting his gaze.

"I am impressed by your youth and handsomeness." Exela Perez said with admiration.

"You flatter me."

"Your Excellency Annan, what can I do for you?"

Of course, and a lot.

Annan made a long list in his mind, ranging from simple gold coins to heavy magic materials and scrolls, but he couldn't name them.

"Aunt Susan's family still lives in a very broken place."

"give it to me."

Excella Perez patted Annan on the shoulder affectionately and greeted the other guests.The mayor remained restrained and made no overt display of co-option.

Not only the mayor, but also other nobles and rich men rarely took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Annan, and even Horn, the son of the rich man, was avoiding him.

"Because Mr. Victor and I blocked it for you."

Annan told Faster his doubts, and he answered.

"There are only 24 professionals permanently in the town. Eight work for the mayor, thirteen work for the nobles, one is me, Mr. Victor counts as half, and the bard is the other half."

"And another one?"

Then Fast looked at Annan.

In any case, at least Annan didn't have to worry about being too disturbed to eat at the banquet.

But it's not that Annan was completely ignored.A young figure beside the mayor, Exela Perez, seemed to be paying special attention to him, and was always observing secretly.When Annan pretended to glance over the mayor and him inadvertently, the observation disappeared again.

Annan confirmed that he did not know him and had no impression.

"By the way, can you understand this?"

Thinking of something, Annan took out a note and asked Fast.

Fast turned his head left and right, frowned and said, "Looks like some forked roads..."

Fork in the road?

Annan suddenly thought of the haunted gold mine where Tasia stayed for a long time, and then found a fork on the "branch".

Then this "cross" represents...

Horn, who brought his son Horn, interrupted Annan's thoughts. He apologized to Annan and Fast instead of his son, and wanted to compensate Annan-donate a batch of books to the library in his own name.

Annan really wants to say that you will not refuse money if you give it...

Horn and his son left, and Lindy came back with a gift box.

"My aunt asked me to bring it to you." Lindy handed the gift to Annan casually, "Congratulations on becoming a warlock."

"Thank you."

Annan opened the gift box, and inside was a mage's robe neatly folded.Look up at the banquet and find the Wine Lady talking to Sir Sean.The heavy makeup highlights her three-dimensional facial features, making it difficult to look away.

As if aware of the gaze, Ms. Meijiu turned her head to look, pursed her lips and raised her glass as a gesture.

Another incident occurred at the banquet.Annan was picking food in the corner when he heard jealous whispers from the terrace.Said that his tone had the poor accent of a countryman.

Annan deliberately stepped into the balcony, scaring the two young men to shut their mouths and leave in a hurry.

In the middle of the night, after the banquet ended, Annan and Fast followed the crowd back to the cold street after the rain.

Like a warm and luxurious dream.When waking up from the dream, only the cold reality remained.

Annan touched his pocket, and the road map of the haunted gold mine given by Tasia before leaving was heart-warming.
