Alien world

Chapter 70 69. Alliance
"An evil wizard murdered the king on his arrival in his loyal city. But now the king has returned from hell, with vengeance surrounding him, determined to take back what was his."

Annan looked at Michael who was speaking in a low voice.

"Andrew Luna taught you to say that?"

"I specifically asked Luna to teach me." Michael handed a list to Annan, "but this is what many people really think. The Twelve Kings of the Northern Territory who were robbed of the city lord and their lives climbed out of hell , will inflict the most brutal vengeance on those who murdered him."

"what is this?"

Annan took the list and saw a long list of uncommon and obscure names. This was a test for Annan who hadn't learned a common language for a long time.

"The aristocrats, rich people, and professionals who will come to visit you later, stand on your side or bet on you."

"Are there any master-level professionals here?"

"No. Unless you are in serious trouble, a master professional does not need to rely on others.

"Can I use wealth to win over masters like the southern nobles?"

"Masters are seldom short of money... except for spellcasters."

"I think it's easy for mages to make money..." Annan said, such as perceiving the Philosopher's Stone.Even transcribing magic scrolls cost dozens of gold coins each.

"But we spend faster."

And Annan has a deep understanding of this - just the most basic meditation of a spellcaster made him unable to make ends meet, and was only willing to use low-level magic materials.

"But after you show some abilities, there should be master-level professionals taking refuge."

"I'm totally unprepared..."

"It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly." Michael said, "You can even create a wonderful future for them to sponsor, and then take away all the money and develop in another place, such as going to the south. As long as there is money there, you can let Let the enemy call you father, let the elf call you dear, let the orc be your younger brother, and let the dead rise."

"What about the Reeves family?"

"Anyway, you only have the reputation of the Twelve Kings of the North." Michael said casually, looking at the clock in the corner, "Get ready, the first rich man to visit should arrive later."

Annan and Michael left the study and came to the living room downstairs.Said to the elderly head maid who came to us, "Some guests will come to visit later."

This manor is the family property of Ms. Wine, she gave it to Annan, and sent a maid to take care of Annan's daily life - as the king of the north, he can't continue to shrink in the attic of the spinning factory.

Not long after, the head maid who was waiting at the gate came back to the mansion and announced that the first guest had arrived.

"Let him in."

Annan looked at Michael who was still here: "Do you want to stay?"

"Of course I want to participate in such an interesting thing."

"Will it cause you trouble?"

"will not."

An absolutely safe bystander, the Mage Tower mage, Michael said proudly: "The Mage Tower stands in Breeze City, so in Breeze City, no one can harm the Mage Tower."

It is difficult to associate the young man in front of him with the drunk who drank to soothe his sorrows in the dilapidated Morning Tavern two months ago.

Annan acquiesced to Michael's existence and let him stand behind.

"Annan's face was engraved with firm and calm lines, and his black eyes were full of melancholy, and from time to time flashed a cold light full of hatred."

"What are you doing?" Annan looked at Michael who suddenly muttered to himself.

"To set the mood, I'll shut up when people come," McColl replied, continuing to perform a trick he'd learned from Andrew Luna: "He's sitting on a couch outside the window where the sun doesn't shine, his silhouette is shadowed. with..."

Annan ignored Michael's narration and looked at the list.The first name was Melche Neville, identified as a jeweler.

Soon, he saw a carriage parked in the garden, and a maid led a middle-aged man with a goatee into the living room.

"Honorable King of the North." The middle-aged man followed an ancient etiquette to salute Annan.

Annan was not used to the following exchange - because Melche Neville always quoted scriptures and praised the ancestors of the Reeves family.

Because Annan is just a fake, he can only focus on listening.And this kind of listening made Melche Neville mistakenly think that he recognized it, and he wanted to confide, talking non-stop, and touted Annan's unaltered "hillbilly accent" as the ancient inheritance of the king of the north.

Finally, a contented Melche Neville offered a bag of gems,
This bag of gems is worth several hundred gold coins.

Cheating seems to be much more lucrative than normal invention.

Soon, the second guest came to the door and brought an oil painting worth about a hundred gold coins.

But McColl said they were not firm.

"Why do you think so?"

"Like cotton yarn condensed into cotton thread, only when gathered together can strength be formed."

If they really want to go to the King in the North, they should bring something more practical.

"They are not stupid. The reputation of a twelve kings in the northern region is worthy of their refuge, but it is not worth their bankruptcy."

"Why do you suddenly look like you know the nobles well?"

"You have Lady Wine, and I have Andrew Luna."

Before the next guest came, Annan asked, "How are Martin and Soluman Bronzebeard?"

"The former Luna took good care of you, and the latter, how do you think these nobles contacted you?"

"Soluman Bronzebeard? How did she do it?"

"Bronzebeard is now the distributor of Lady Fine Wine in Breeze City, and she invites those nobles and rich people by the way when she delivers wine. By the way, the owner of the publishing house hasn't come back yet, but your book is selling very well."

The guests on the list came one after another, and the living room gradually became lively, and they talked with each other.During the period, there were still families who hoped to marry Annan——

The maids brought the prepared food and red wine to the table, forming a small banquet.

Michael left early because of something.After the list was almost complete, Annan was ready to join the banquet.

At this time, an old man who was not on the list arrived.

An Nan sensed that he was a powerful spellcaster.How powerful... An ant cannot see a rock, nor a mountain top.

However, Annan unexpectedly had a pleasant conversation with this old man of unknown origin.

Some incisive pointers from the old man suddenly enlightened Annan's cognition.Annan's not-of-this-world perspective also amuses the old man.

For example, the old man felt that the nobles occupied most of the wealth, but never gave it away.

"How can you say that!"

A down-and-out nobleman whose name Annan did not remember suddenly accused the old man indignantly, which aroused many approvals.Because those who stand here are nobles.

"Your father, Holm, was abandoned because of this kind of selfishness." The calmness of the old man's old face made the down-and-out nobleman shut his mouth in surprise.

Annan took the opportunity to ask politely: "Excuse me?"

He felt that the opportunity to fight against Olmedo lay in the old man.

"Olmedo."

The old man said gently.

"Augusta Olmedo."
