A strange world

Chapter 207 Chapter 60. Gifts for Mrs. Winter and the prisoners

Wood was tied to the wooden frame, shivering in the cold wind.

Annan and Francois lurked behind the window of the mansion, waiting for the vampire to fall into the trap, but Wood could not be lured out until he could no longer hold on.

After putting down the frozen Wood, Annan handed Wood a bowl of half-solidified warm blood to warm his body and mind. Francois said next to him: "Either the vampires are not here, or they don't want to pay attention to their own kind."

Then came the succubus, and this time it was Annan's turn to be the bait, and Claudia as the side dish. The specific measures were that they stayed in their respective rooms, covered with a small amount of clothes, and posed seductively.

But even though Annan made such a huge sacrifice, the succubus did not appear.

Succubi and vampires are not fools. Even if they initially coveted Annan, they should know that they cannot afford to offend the King of the North after Annan's true identity is exposed.

Annan's first encounter with the succubus ended in disappointment.

But "Betal's Redemption" is about to happen.

After these days of publicity, the people of Breeze City and Betar City know that King of the North's second magical video after "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has been completed.

There are only two eternal recording magic stones, one is in the Benitez Theater in Breeze City, and the other is in the Rose Garden of Betar City.

In the front hall of the garden, a banquet in the name of the preview of "Betal's Redemption" is being held - nobles will always find various excuses to hold banquets.

Annan has never seen many of them, and it is said that nobles from the south and other countries come here. The nobles did not dare to chat with Mrs. Winter, but they were keen to talk to Annan, because these people were potential customers of Xingyue Bay. Annan had to talk to them. Tired of dealing with it, Annan hid on the terrace to enjoy a moment of tranquility.

Vines climb the guardrails, birds and butterflies fly on the lawns and flower beds, and geothermal heating and protective covers keep the rose garden at the heart of Betar City still lush and green in the winter. As for the resources consumed every day? It is nothing more than supporting tens of thousands of civilians.

The warm sunshine and fresh air seem like spring has arrived. Annan thought that Xingyue Bay would do the same thing in the future...but let all the people in the territory enjoy it.

"The nobles of the South still hide in their rooms to watch in private, but you actually gather together to watch the Sorcerer's Stone... The North is really rude, as vulgar as your food..."

Surprised whispers spread from the banquet to the terrace. Annan pricked up his ears and listened to a nobleman with a southern accent speaking to a local nobleman about "Betal's Redemption."

"It's not what you think. The protagonists of "Betal's Redemption" are humans and orcs..."

"Orcs and women? Oh, I really can't imagine that the King of the North would do this..."

"Maybe it's a female orc?"

"What? That's not a wooden stick thrown into the well... Could it be that the leading actor is the King of the North? I kind of want to see it..."

Annan can cover the kitten's ears, but no one can cover his ears.

"Haven't you seen "The Fall of the Mage Tower"?"

"They are still doing this kind of thing in the Mage Tower!?"

After the two nobles finished speaking and left, Annan returned to the banquet and walked straight towards Mrs. Winter.

The captain of the guard was saying something to Mrs. Lindong. Mrs. Lindong looked up at Annan and signaled the captain of the guard to continue.

"We caught a few mosquitoes, but some escaped..."

Annan wouldn't be stupid enough to think that there were mosquitoes in Mrs. Winter's bedroom: "A vampire?"

"Those guys from the Scarlet House came to the north for the secret." Mrs. Winter, who blocked all dangers for Annan, smiled and said: "But don't worry, I will attend the premiere of "Betal's Redemption" tomorrow and then leave. You should be more careful then.”

Annan chatted with Mrs. Winter for a while, then left the banquet to prepare for tomorrow's premiere.

The captain of the guard looked at Annan's leaving figure: "You miss Si Wu, why did you refuse the resurrection ceremony of the Death Church...?"

"Those who play with souls will also be played with by souls... I don't want the past events of the ancient country of Betus to happen again." Mrs. Winter's coldness and tallness seemed to be incompatible with the lively and noisy banquet: "We miss the people who have passed away, but we just miss the beauty of that time... …”

…

Just like Jack and Rose in "The Fall of the Mage Tower" prefer the carnivals of the lower class to the banquets of the nobles, Annan would rather stay in the dungeon and brag with the future citizens of Xingyue Bay.

"...Put a pea under the bed. No matter how many mattresses you put on it, I won't be comfortable."

Now he has five fairy tales.

During this period, Annan also came to the Rat Man with the kitten in his hands. The kitten and the Rat Man were both silent.

"Rat...are not afraid of cat things either." Rat Man said.

Annan thought that the giant rats in the rat tide were close to the size of guinea pigs, about the same size as a cat.

After holding the kitten and leaving, Francois asked him: "Do you want to take the rat man back too?"

"Well, I kept it on purpose."

If the rat men want to get involved in Xingyue Bay, they will contact it. It is better to have traces than the rat men lurking in the dark. Annan can also use this to observe whether the rat gods and other gods have lost contact after the turmoil.

Annan went to the orphanage again. Over the past few days, there have been as many as two hundred children in the orphanage, but so many children were not unbearably noisy... They were so well-behaved that it was heartbreaking.

Annan borrowed people from Breeze City and Ms. Mia to take care of the children. When he learned that Mia was going to leave, he was surprised and said: "You want to leave too?"

“March will gradually get warmer.”

Annan didn't ask who Ms. Mia was. Sometimes the truth is not that important.

"Where are these kids?"

Ms. Mia said softly: "I believe you will fulfill your promise to the children."

The next day, Annan put on the mage's robe. He came to the dungeon and said to the old orc in black dress, "Are you ready?"

It was Annan's turn to say this to others.

"My friend, do you know what this means?"

"Meaning an orc standing upright in front of all the nobles?" Annan said jokingly.

"I mean, why are you helping us so much?"

"I've seen the flowers bloom, and I hope you can too."

…

The prisoners sat in the dark cells, watching the jailer bring the magic stone and knock on the iron bars to wake everyone up;

The future citizens sat under the high wall sheltered from the wind, watching the girl named Lorna bring the magic stone;

At the headquarters of the Dechasuo mercenary group, the mercenaries watched with shame as the deputy leader Irina put down the magic stone;

In the orphanage, the ignorant and curious children watched Ms. Mia take out a beautiful crystal;

At the Benitez Grand Theater, the nobles are eagerly waiting for the screening of the new work of King of the North.

In the Rose Garden Hall, Annan and the old orc came to the front row among the nobles who were avoiding each other, and sat side by side with Mrs. Winter.

As the magical image lights up, the whispers fade away.
