A strange world

Saint Laurent year 615

Breeze City Mage Tower

Known as the "Guardian Tower of Breeze City" and "never collapse", the Breeze City Mage Tower was officially opened and a group of citizens were invited as guests. In a tavern on the outer street of the Mage Tower, Jack and his companions had just won an invitation to the Mage Tower from a chest-thumping dwarf...

…

"Bronzebeard, don't keep winking..."

In the Morrowind Tavern, Annan reluctantly stopped the rehearsal of the first act again.

Whenever he calls start, Soruman Bronzebeard's beard will move like a drum in a blacksmith's shop.

"I bet on the invitation, and it's hard to control my emotions in this bet." Soruman Bronzebeard said, "Dwarves are not like expressionless elves."

"But you're just a 'dwarf' playing cards with me."

"Dwarves can also be unique."

"But it puts the audience's attention on you instead of me."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Because I am the protagonist, the audience needs to focus on me... Just like a stage play, a character playing a tree does not need to dance."

"I haven't seen the stage play."

Andrew Luna, holding the Philosopher's Stone, couldn't stand it anymore: "Just like adding too many precious metals during smelting does not make the weapon harder."

"I understand!" Soruman Bronzebeard complained to Annan, "You should have said this earlier."

"Again."

Annan restored the cards drawn on the wine table last night and asked Andrew Luna to activate the recording magic stone again.

"Why are you staring at the camera...playing cards with the Philosopher's Stone?"

"If you don't keep an eye on the embryo when you smelt it, do you want to burn it into a pile of waste?"

"You treated me like an embryo. Do it again."

"You are wrong, 'point' is the biggest card."

"Stop, you are too exaggerated..."

"Bronzebeard, if you still do this during the official filming, I will have to let you play the role of boiler worker..."

This simple scene failed a dozen times, and Andrew Luna later didn't even bother to activate the Philosopher's Stone. Bronzebeard always made mistakes, and Annan couldn't correct her by "deducting money" because they were not paid in the first place.

"Let's get here first."

Annan commissioned Andrew Luna to invite stage actors from the theater to teach them acting, including himself, and dragged his tired heart back to the manor.

In the basement of the manor, Annan summoned the blue dragon.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The blue dragon saw neither gold coins nor food, and lazily ignored Annan's greetings.

"I would like to borrow someone from you...a ghost."

Annan could not film and act at the same time, so he needed new helpers. "I need your help," he said to the gauze ghosts fluttering beneath the gilded mountain.

The blue dragon said in a rough and low voice: "They have to take care of my treasure..."

"You can let the skeletons do it."

The skeleton standing at the foot of the gilded mountain opened its jaws with a "cluck".

"The ghost is my loyal and reliable servant..."

"1 gold coin." Annan said.

"100 gold coins."

"10 gold coins, three ghosts will lend me a month."

The blue dragon lying on the gilded mountain stretches out its claws to represent a deal.

Annan placed ten gold coins on it, and three ghosts slipped through the crack and appeared in the basement - one of the veils was obviously much happier.

The rift disappeared as the low-level summoning spell ended. Annan looked at the jumping ghost: "Thank you for helping me before."

It shyly hides behind its companions.

The three ghosts don't like to talk, and the sounds they occasionally make are like flying paper wadding. Annan first left the basement to talk to the head maid about the ghosts and told them not to be afraid. Then he took the ghosts to the study and taught them how to use the recording magic stone.

The ghosts flying around the study holding the magic stone are perfectly qualified for the role of camera operators.

Cursed undead are afraid of sunlight, but the Shadow Cloak spell allows them to appear in sunlight.

Three ghosts weren't the only surprise today. In the afternoon, the Winchet family carriage drove into the manor.

Annan saw Lindy from the window, came downstairs, and was surprised to see Evelin there.

"This is Fast's letter to you."

We haven't seen her for a long time. Lindy still looks cold and has not changed due to Annan's identity.

Annan welcomed the shy Evelin and opened the envelope.

The letter said that Evelin had caused some trouble in Pinglin Town and asked Annan to take care of her.

"What trouble?"

"I don't know, I went back."

Lindy left the mansion, and Annan looked at Evelin.

"I don't know...it's just that Mr. Fast said that I was in trouble and asked me to come to you..." Evelin said nervously, her fingers entangled with the corners of her linen clothes.

"It doesn't matter, you live here first."

Annan was about to take Evelin to have something to eat, but then Francois came and had to hand Evelin over to the head maid.

Francois burst into the living room with excitement and said impatiently: "The Mage Tower agrees! And Michael asked me to tell you that Teacher Yirelanze is not in the Mage Tower... You seem to be avoiding her?"

"I'm worried that she will lose control when she sees me..."

"You may not understand women..." Francois, who didn't know the secret, said, "Women are very reserved."

Annan just shook his head: "It's because you don't understand elves."

After Francois returned, Annan went to find Evelin. The bedroom door was not closed. Standing in the corridor, Annan saw Evelin quietly holding a beautiful dress on her body, showing her youthfulness and beauty.

Annan has found the right heroine.

Without disturbing Evelin, Annan returned to the study to complete the script, but not long after, an uninvited guest came to visit.

Annan came to the living room downstairs, covering up his surging emotions, and quietly watched the old man with a cane walking up the steps.

Augusta Olmedo, standing in front of Annan, still said those words:

"You're going to bring chaos."

"I don't understand what chaos you are talking about." Annan looked at him calmly, "If change is chaos, I would say...stagnant water will only stink."

"You don't know anything..." Those blue eyes full of vicissitudes of life looked at Annan calmly, "I have been to the south...where luxury is common, and there are countless unheard of, unimaginable, weird and fantastic things just to bring you. Come and be happy forever...Annan, your fearlessness comes from ignorance."

"Stop it, before everything sinks to the point of no return..."

"My surname is not Olmedo..." Annan shook his head, "You are protecting Breeze City in your own way, and I am also protecting it in my own way. You may not be right, and I may not be wrong."

Augusta Olmedo seemed to give up on convincing Annan and turned back without saying anything.

Annan walked to the door and watched the old man get into the carriage and drive out of the manor.

So, will you remain silent, or will you destroy the order you abide by?
