A strange world

Pinglin Town in late winter is peaceful and peaceful.

The procession that entered the town in the evening alarmed those in authority. The mayor, whom Annan once envied at the dinner party, could not recall his name now, and explained respectfully but uneasily that Palha's accusation had nothing to do with him.

"Who is Parha?"

"The young man who falsely accused you..."

Annan recalled his experience in the dungeon. He didn't care after he came out. He thought that the fate of "Palha" and Black Tierres would not be good...

Memories are like a broken bank. As the gap appears, it becomes difficult to take it back. Annan was even just five or six months ago.

At that time, I was still racking my brains for the qualification test and saving Tasia for dozens of silver coins, but now...

"Lord Annan...Lord Annan?"

Annan woke up from his memories, shook his head and said, "I don't take it to heart... don't worry about me, I just want to visit Mr. Victor."

"certainly."

The mayor envies the lucky old Victor - there are a hundred "first hundred mage apprentices in the Kingdom of Rekaner", and they are just mage apprentices, but there are only twelve King of the North, and they have a high status. But he also still remembers the complicated situation in Breeze City a few days ago.

Doing nothing means making no mistakes.

Night had fallen, but it was only five o'clock. When Annan came to the library, Mr. Victor was slowly clearing the bookshelves.

"Visitor registration."

The old man had a droopy face. Annan didn't know who had offended him. He was lying at the desk registering when he suddenly remembered the key: "Mr. Victor, this is something I invented in Breeze City. It's called Magic Image..."

Annan activated the magic image as he spoke. After the familiar blue planet and the symbols of the new world, beautiful and sad music sounded——

"Sh-!"

Mr. Victor signaled to be silent, and Annan quickly turned off the magic image.

The number of magic stones is reduced by one.

But Victor's face softened a lot.

"Master Annan, we may have to stay in the town for one night." At this time, Blom whispered to Annan that a bitter snowstorm was coming.

As if it was an illusion, the stubborn old man looked better.

"I'll do it."

Annan took over from the slow and stubborn old man, skillfully cleaning the bookshelves and floors, checking the windows, and helped Mr. Victor to the street.

The bells of the approaching snowstorm echoed over the town, and sparse pedestrians hurried home.

Returning to Victor's residence, Annan asked the knights to live nearby. He, Blom and Dina stayed at Mr. Victor's house - and by the way, he persuaded him to move to Xingyue Bay.

After asking Dina to help make dinner, Mr. Victor left the kitchen without eating much, put on pajamas with clouds and rabbit patterns and went into the living room. Soon after, the lines of "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" came.

Annan finished his dinner, left the packing to Dina, and came to the living room.

The branches outside the window swayed ferociously, the passing wind and snow almost stretched into a straight line, and the continuous whimpering and the firelight in the fireplace formed a strange tranquility.

Mr. Victor leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. Annan thought he was asleep and quietly went over to turn off the magic image.

"I'm awake and listening."

Mr. Victor opened his eyes.

The number of magic stones is reduced by one.

Annan had no choice but to open the magic stone again and sit next to the sofa: "Mr. Victor, do you want to go to Xingyue Bay with me?"

Victor stared at the magic image, as if the spinning blue ball was more interesting than Annan's words.

“You could open a real library there.”

Victor remained unmoved.

Annan sighed helplessly, opened the portal, and asked the ogre to push the wheelchair out.

The unique wheelchair finally drew the stubborn old man's attention away from the magic image: "What is this?"

"A New Year's gift to you."

"Gift?"

People here really don’t have the habit of celebrating the New Year. I wonder if they do in the south?

Annan introduced the wheelchair to Mr. Victor. Compared with the one prepared for the eldest sister, the second wheelchair had some slight adjustments. For example, the larger and softer wheels made the wheelchair suitable for moving on the bluestone road.

"Why don't you invite me first?" Mr. Victor asked.

"That would be blackmailing you to go to Xingyue Bay."

The old man was silent for a moment and drove Annan away impatiently: "Go pack your luggage!"

"Are you going to Xingyue Bay?" Annan's surprise caught the old man's gaze, and he changed his words: "I mean, do you want books to educate the knowledgeless wasteland of Xingyue Bay?"

"snort!"

…

Now it is difficult for Annan to need Mr. Victor's help.

But just as Annan did not need to give the Reeves family three thousand gold coins but still did so, emotions linked them together——

And when Mr. Victor moves to Xingyue Bay, Lindy will follow him. Lindy goes, and the wine lady goes too!

Early the next morning, Annan first coaxed Mr. Victor to Breeze City, and then went to the library with the key.

"Tina, do you think pretending to be Augusta will make Olmedo happy?"

"Master Annan, if you have a grudge against Master Olmedo, you can directly hire an assassin to kill him."

"But I don't know what Olmedo likes..."

Annan decided to ask her directly, opened the portal, asked the workers to carry the books, and asked the ogre to call Olmedo.

After the tall figure with blond hair appeared, Annan asked directly: "What do you like?"

"What?"

"If you received a gift, what would make you happy?"

Olmedo's blue eyes gradually softened: "A port belonging to the north."

"...Are there any teams going to the snow-capped mountains recently?" Annan decisively changed the subject.

"There happens to be a convoy tomorrow."

"Help me deliver something to my friends in the fortress."

What does Tasia like, hay? milk? Annan thought for a while and said, "Send me some books."

Olmedo was no longer needed, so Annan drove her away. The knights and workers quickly emptied the hall and then emptied the "forbidden books" in the basement under the command of Mr. Victor.

After leaving the library and the team driving out of Pinglin Town, Annan began to think about other people's New Year's gifts:

The ogre's gift...bring him a condemned man? The orcs just gave him a suit of armor that fit him; Catalina... would the skull be considered humiliating and desecrating? Klein, a steel weapon should satisfy him. Martin, Martin... well... tell Fast not to hit him on New Year's Day; Aunt Susan and Uncle Holly... just change into nicer clothes and a sharper ax this time.

Bronzebeard gave her the blacksmith shop in Star Moon Bay; Mr. Fast was the tavern; if Andrew Luna was willing to open a branch of the Morrowind Tavern, Mr. Fast would have a rival; Michael lacked nothing. , then wish him an early promotion to the elite, Evelin, a beautiful dress can make her happy for a long time.

And Della, the incident in Breeze City is over, there are no more ratmen here, and the weather is getting colder, so she can be rescued from the cold winter;

Anyone else left out?

Oh, and there are blue dragons.
