Alien world

Chapter 74. Chapter 73. The Cry in the Basement

The Wine Lady's visits to the manor have become more frequent.

This is nothing unusual, after all, this manor belongs to the Winchet family.

However, as Annan's existence was slowly known by the people of the city like a breeze, the wine lady who got too close to him was inevitably labeled as the Reeves family.

Macroscopically, one of the twelve kings of the northern region is far more powerful than Breeze City.But if you consider that the Reeves family is weak and the murderer who attacked the convoy is suspected to be the Olmedo family... Ms. Wine seems to be unwise to choose.

On this day, the wine lady who came to the manor also brought a month's worth of high-level magic materials.

The value of these things exceeds the sum of the gifts Annan received a few days ago - not less than 2000 gold coins.

"What are you going to do with these magic ingredients?" said the Lady of Wine. "They were sent by Augusta Olmedo."

Annan looked at Della who came back from inspecting the truck.

"No problem," she said.

Annan couldn't tell which of these magic materials was despicable and which was noble, so he simply said: "Then sell them and buy the same materials back."

Although there will be some price difference after selling it and buying it back, it is better than throwing it away.

The wine lady drove her men to do it.

Annan asked again: "How many spinning machines did Susan sell?"

"It's less than a hundred, and your goblins are too slow to make." Ms. Meijiu couldn't understand why Annan cared so much about a few hundred gold coins—although it was not a small amount, it was nothing compared to the background of the King of the North. What kind of.

"The attack cost the family too much..." Annan could only say so.

Annan is not the real King of the North, glory, and status are all fake, only Susan Spinning Machine is real, it can be seen and touched.

"Be careful. When all the arrows are pointing at you, you will be in trouble." Madam Wine said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

Ms. Wine did not explain this sentence, said goodbye to Annan and drove away from the manor.

"Do you know?" Annan asked Della.

"Don't mess with too many enemies." The elf assassin == guard is concise and to the point.

Annan thought for a while, except for Augusta Olmedo, he had no grudges with anyone.And even Augusta Olmedo seemed to turn foes into friends as he cleared his name.

Not long after the wine lady left, another carriage drove into the manor.

Andrew Luna and Soluman Bronzebeard came to visit him, bringing some news from the outside world.

For example, Annan's identity has been fueled, and many bards are spreading his deeds.

This is nothing new, some smart people will use bards when they want to promote something, but they will control a scale, after all, all bards are covered by a god of wind and poetry.

"What are they talking about?" Annan asked curiously.

"The young King of the North has been attacked, and the spirit of vengeance hangs over Breeze, and the murderer will suffer the terrible flames of hell."

Revenge, love, adventure—those are always the three stories people love.

"Currently in the second paragraph, the bards are brewing a love story between you and the wine lady."

"What kind of love story?"

Annan was also curious how the bard would make it up.

"It's nothing more than a cliché plot like a noble woman falling in love with a down-and-out prince, but people just like it. Speaking of the plot..." Andrew Luna said, "Do you still remember your "Breaking the Sky"? The King of the North added to the signature..."

"How is it selling?"

Annan was concerned about something else.

"Uh...it's said to be pretty good."

The sales of "Breaking the Sky" are about Annan's reputation.The more famous he is in Breeze City, the more people are curious about this vengeful king.

So far, the circulating stories have not belittled Annan, nor have they pointed to the Olmedo family as the murderers.

Augusta Olmedo did what he promised, but it will take time to watch.

"and this."

Andrew Luna took out a letter: "This letter was sent to the tavern."

"Did it come from Pinglin Town?"

Annan took the envelope with some surprise.The cumbersome texture of the gold paint on the surface shows that it is not.

"The leader of Osulond."

Annan froze, then opened the envelope complicatedly,

[Our brother Levi Reeves:]

[I have received your reply letter, and Leila is very glad that you are okay... We know that you are under a lot of pressure, but the most important thing about the Reeves family is family.Come back, let's face the problem together.

The Land of Ossurond is your forever home. 】

Annan put down the letter paper, and answered the questioning gazes of Andrew Luna and Bronzebeard: "They...my sisters are persuading me to give up revenge and go back to the family first."

"What do you think?"

"I won't go back."

Annan shook his head and put the envelope into his pocket. "How are you?"

"My business is fine, but Bronzewhisker is not doing well."

Because of supporting Annan, Ms. Wine's wine industry has suffered a blow.Even if the Olmedo family didn't do anything, many nobles spontaneously refused the wine from the Winchet family because they didn't want to get into trouble.

Soluman Bronzebeard also lost a lot of business.

The tavern is fine, and those professionals who are in the gray area don't care whether the glass of wine is made by a good person or a bad one.

"Feel sorry……"

Annan's apology made the upright Bronzebeard accuse him angrily, and then Annan said in line with the dwarf's nature, "Then keep going." Instead, Bronzebeard laughed and assured that he would not become his weakness.

Andrew Luna and Soluman Bronzebeard were about to leave, and during the short interval when Della was not around, the female dwarf suddenly warned Annan in a low voice: There is always a reason for a person to support you unconditionally.

Annan guessed she meant Lady Wine.But why does the female dwarf say that about her boss?

what did she find
The magic materials exchanged by Ms. Wine were delivered to the mansion in the evening.

After Annan asked Della to check, he couldn't wait to put the magic materials into the crucible according to the steps in the meditation concept, and then entered the meditation.

Advanced magic materials work surprisingly well.Annan instantly sensed the existence of magic power, as if his soul had escaped from the shackles of his body in an instant, and entered the grotesque void.Indescribably eerie shades emanate indescribably eerie colors.Chaos, distortion, disorder, disorder...

In the dark, Annan suddenly noticed the breath of magic props, and his consciousness was pulled back to the misty bedroom——

Click.

Annan carried an oil lamp, walked out of the bedroom in the middle of the night, followed the guidance of meditation to go downstairs, and stood in front of a closed iron door leading to the basement.

He pushed the basement door open and walked along the steps into the basement that was covered with thick dust and had been neglected for a long time.

At the bottom of the basement, Annan saw a piece of parchment that hadn't fallen into ashes on the table.

Late night, basement, parchment...

Annan turned and left the basement without thinking, but found that the steps were shrouded in a cloud of smoke that could not be dispelled.
