A strange world

Chapter 74 Chapter 73. Terror in the basement

The Wine Lady's visits to the estate became frequent.

This is not surprising, after all, this manor is the property of the Winchet family.

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

On a macro scale, one of the Twelve Kings of the North is far more powerful than Breeze City. But if you take into account the fact that the Reeves family is in a weak position and the murderer who attacked the convoy is suspected to be the Olmedo family... the wine lady's choice seems unwise.

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

The value of these things exceeds the total gifts Annan received a few days ago - no less than 2,000 gold coins.

"How do you prepare to handle these magical materials?" said the Wine Lady. "They are sent by Augusta Olmedo."

Annan looked at Della who came back from checking 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 if you sell it and buy it back, it is still better than throwing it away.

The Wine Lady drives her men to do it.

Annan asked again: "How many Susan spinning machines have been sold?"

"Less than a hundred, your goblins are too slow to make." Ms. Wine didn't understand why Annan cared so much about a few hundred gold coins - although it was not too much, it was nothing compared to the King of the North's background. What kind of.

"The attack caused the family too much loss..." Annan could only say this.

Annan is not the real King of the North. His glory and status are all false. Only the Susan Spinning Machine is real. It can be seen and touched.

"Be careful. When all the arrows are pointing at you, you are in trouble." The Wine Lady said suddenly.

"What's the meaning?"

The wine lady did not explain this sentence, said goodbye to Annan and drove away from the manor.

"Do you know?" Annan asked Dela.

"Don't provoke too many enemies." The elf assassin guard spoke concisely.

Annan thought about it and realized that he had no grudge against anyone except Augusta Olmedo. And even Augusta Olmedo seemed to be turning foe into friend as he was cleared of charges.

Not long after the Wine Lady left, another carriage drove into the manor.

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

For example, Annan's identity was promoted, and many bards spread his deeds.

This is nothing new. Some smart people will use bards when they want to promote anything, but they will control a scale. After all, all bards have a god of breeze and poetry covering their heads.

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

"The young King of the North was attacked, and a vengeful spirit shrouded the sky over Breeze City. The murderer will endure the horrific flames of hell."

Revenge, love, adventure—three stories that people always like.

"We are 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 about how the bard would make it up.

"It's nothing more than a clichéd plot of a noble woman falling in love with a down-and-out prince, but people just like it. Speaking of plot..." Andrew Luna said: "Do you still remember your "The Law Breaks the Sky"? In the past two days, the publisher has The King in the North added his signature..."

"How's the sale going?"

Annan was concerned about something else.

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

The sales volume of "The Law Breaks the Sky" is about Annan's reputation. The more famous he becomes in Breeze, the more people become curious about this vengeful king.

So far, the stories circulating do not disparage Annan, nor do they point to the Olmedo family as the murderers.

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

"and this."

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

"Is it sent from Pinglin Town?"

Annan took the envelope with some surprise. The complicated textures composed of gold paint on the surface indicate otherwise.

"Osurond Territory."

Annan paused, then opened the envelope complicatedly,

[Our brother Levi Reeves:]

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

Osurondland is your forever home. 】

Annan put down the letter and answered the questioning looks of Andrew Luna and Bronzebeard: "They...my sisters are persuading me to give up revenge and return to my 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 has not been affected, but Bronzebeard is not doing well."

Because of her support for Annan, Lady Wine's liquor industry suffered a blow. Even though the Olmedo family did nothing, many nobles spontaneously refused the wine from the Winchet family because they did not want to get into trouble.

Soruman Bronzebeard also lost a lot of business.

On the contrary, nothing happened in the tavern. Those professionals who lived in the gray area didn't care whether the wine was made by good people or bad people.

"Feel sorry……"

Annan's apology made the upright Bronzebeard angrily accuse him, and then Annan said in line with the nature of the dwarves, "Then keep going", which made Bronzebeard laugh and promise that he would not become his weakness.

Andrew Luna and Soruman Bronzebeard were about to leave, and during the brief 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 was talking about the wine lady. But why did the female dwarf say that about her boss?

What did she find?

The magic materials exchanged by the wine lady will be delivered to the mansion in the evening.

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

The effects of high-grade magic materials are surprisingly good. Annan instantly sensed the existence of magic power, and it was as if his soul instantly broke away from the shackles of the body and entered the bizarre void. Indescribably weird shadows glowing with weird colors that are indescribable. Chaos, distortion, disorder, disorder...

In the dark, Annan suddenly noticed the smell of magic props, and his consciousness was pulled back to the mist-shrouded bedroom——

Click.

Annan walked out of the bedroom late at night holding an oil lamp, followed the guidance during meditation and went downstairs, standing in front of a closed iron door leading to the basement.

He pushed open the basement door and walked along the steps into the basement, which was thick with dust and had not been visited for a long time.

At the bottom of the basement, Annan saw a piece of parchment without dust on the table.

Late night, basement, parchment...

Annan turned around and left the basement without thinking, only to find that the steps had been shrouded in a cloud of smoke that could not be dispelled.
