Alien world

Chapter 49 Chapter 49. Set Sail
The heavy debts and the expenses to be faced in the future made Annan almost out of breath.

It wasn't until he walked out of the dull and muddy mine and was bathed in sunlight that Annan didn't look so listless.

"Puffpuffpuff—"

Sneaky noises came from a shed, and Wood leaned against the door with his toes turned inward, with a strange posture.
"What are you doing?"

"Avoid the light."

Wood said a ghost asked him to come out to wait for him, but as soon as he arrived at the camp, the clouds covering the sun parted and he had to hide in the shed.

Confirming that the ghost is indeed helping him, Annan thinks about the ore that fell in the mine...Why?Because of that lost ghostly portrait of Tasia?

"How am I going to get back?"

Annan stopped thinking about it, and Wood removed the bed boards in the shed and used them as parasols to return the same way.

Back in the town tavern, Fast took down the wooden chair that was upside down on the wine table and sat down.Soluman Bronzebeard also came over.

"Have you found the treasure yet?"

"……No."

Annan couldn't tell them that there was a mountain of treasure deep in the haunted gold mine, but there were undead servants and blue dragons guarding it.

"Guess."

Fast had already seen from Annan's expression that he hadn't gained anything—but he never thought that Annan owed five gold coins instead.

Inflation has been rampant recently.Annan hadn't earned much silver coins yet, so he had to worry about gold coins.

"How many more books can you write?" Soluman Bronzebeard believed in Annan's talent.

It's a good idea, but it will be at least a few months before the benefits are realized.

"How long will it take for the first batch of royalties for "Breaking the Sky"?"

"It should be in the near future..." Annan hoped that the manuscript fee would be a large sum, and it would be best to repay all the debts.

"Are you going to visit Breeze City?" Mr. Fast asked suddenly.

Annan was a little moved, because the magic materials for arranging the meditation ceremony were almost used up.

It's just that this also means that he will leave the typhoon shelter.Although the outside is more exciting, it is also more dangerous.

"I'll think about it."

At this moment, Annan thought of what the bard said, that nobles and rich people will support promising professionals: "Are you interested in funding me?"

Fast and Soluman Bronzebeard looked at each other: "The association has long been disbanded, it doesn't matter if you get close to us, but if you accept our funding, you may be labeled..."

"Didn't Soluman Bronzebeard lend me some gold coins?"

"Just borrow some."

"Can I borrow some more?"

"Yes, but a dozen gold coins are of little use to you."

An Nanxin said that it was very useful, at least he didn't have to worry about Blue Dragon's compensation anymore.

"If you want to know how to make money, you'd better ask the bard." Fast saw that Annan was in need of money, and suggested: "Maybe the bard will hear business opportunities from the wind."

Annan was not sure whether the bard could hear the business opportunities from the wind, but Annan did have an idea: Compared with the long wait for publication, it is more profitable to submit articles.

"Are there newspapers in this world?"

"world?"

"What's a newspaper? A book?"

Fast and Soluman Bronzebeard asked at the same time.

"I mean 'here'. My lingua franca is always full of loopholes." Annan perfunctory Mr. Fast, and replied to the female dwarf: "It's almost like a book..."

"I haven't heard of the book The Newspaper."

no newspapers...

Even Annan's insensitive business sense was aware of the terrifying business opportunities here...but he resisted this urge.

Maybe the newspapers in the other world are not called newspapers, or there are other ways to publish real-time news.Annan needs time to investigate.Moreover, newspapers not only represent interests, but are also the uncrowned kings who have the right to speak.

Now is not the time to unleash this terrifying behemoth.

"How to contact the Warlock Protection Association?" Annan changed his mind.

"They pay little attention to remote places in the remote world."

Unfortunately, there is a remote place at the foot of Annan—not Pinglin Town, nor Breeze City, but the Kingdom of Rikaner.

"Okay...then as a warlock, how should I make money?" Annan had no choice but to ask bluntly.He had almost finished reading the Warlock Handbook, and he hadn't read this part yet.

"Should be about the same as a warrior? Accept the commission and explore the wild..."

So in a way warlocks are inferior to mages: their magic comes from themselves rather than learning.If Annan was a mage, he could already recruit mage apprentices to work for him or draw magic scrolls.

Obviously, there is no commission in the town, and there is only the forest in the wild.

Annan wanted to be promoted and achieve greater achievements, so going to Breeze City was inevitable.

"I'm going to take a look at Breeze City." Annan made a decision.

But in name, Annan went to collect the manuscript fee for "Breaking the Sky" - so that when he came back with nothing, he would not look disheartened.

Fast was not surprised.Pinglin Town is too small, the occasional theft is big news, and Annan was known by the whole town within a few days.

"You can have Bronzebeard with you."

Need help getting to know Breeze, and the dwarves happen to be half locals.

Annan knew that it was impossible for Mr. Fast to go with him, but he still couldn't help asking, "What about you?"

"I still have business to do."

Fast came to the town just to avoid disputes, he just wanted a peaceful life.

"I'll cover you." Soluman Bronzebeard patted her firm chest.

Having made the decision to meet the world, Annan began to prepare for the next departure.

"Did you hear it?"

After Annan took Wood out of the pub, Fast said: "He said 'world'"

"What do you mean?"

"He may not be from our continent, or even from this world."

"What does it have to do with us?" Soluman Bronzebeard spread his short hands, "We haven't even been out of the Kingdom of Rikanel."

"……You are right."

Fast realized how pointless they were talking about "From Otherworldly."

On the other side, Annan took Wood to Aunt Susan's old house.Wood wouldn't go with him, the sun killed it as easily as it melted ice, even though it was the rainy season.

And its strength doesn't help much.

Then head to the library, ready to take a long vacation.

"Are you leaving?"

"How do you know?"

"From the light footsteps when you came in."

"Come here to get some books before you leave." Mr. Victor said angrily, "If a warlock reads a lot of books, he will become a smart warlock."

Finally, there is Aunt Susan.Annan thought it would be a waste of time.But Aunt Susan, who was full of reluctance, supported him to go out and have a look, and took Martin along the way.

As for the blue dragon...

Although there are three days left in the next month, 33 days later is also the next month.

Maybe they will come back after receiving the manuscript fee, magic contract and magic materials.

It took a whole day to pack up the luggage. In the early morning of the next day, Annan said goodbye to Aunt Susan and Uncle Holling, but Martin was not seen.Thinking that he didn't want to go to Breeze City, he went to the tavern alone and got into the carriage.

As a result, not long after the carriage set off, Annan saw Martin get out of the suitcase.
