A strange world

Chapter 357 Section 15. At the banquet

Salz Academy of Magic Auditorium.

The banquet hosted by the college is in full swing.

In addition to the students, there were also aristocratic and wealthy parents who wanted to get to know Annan, but they were blocked by the girls surrounding Annan - luckily Annan remembered the curfew and asked Olmedo and the others to go back first.

The fishing showdown between Fast and Leila was also postponed.

It took Annan more effort to get rid of them than the game itself. He went to the long table and grabbed a piece of pastry, and the comments about him came from the side:

"King of the North? Haha... Such a big name, I guess he is a self-proclaimed nobleman from some small place. But he is really qualified... Sltovis Academy beat Solz Academy half to death, and he beat Sl. Torvis Academy beat him to death.”

Seeing the compliment, Annan didn't say anything, held the pastry and came near Dean Breshim. The dean who was talking to a middle-aged noble said something and waved to Annan.

Annan stuffed the pastry into his mouth and asked, "Dean, who is the next opponent and when will it start?"

"Are you eager?" Dean Blehim's smile never disappeared after returning from the arena.

"I am a lord, and my territory is like a mage's staff to me."

"You have two more days of rest, and those in the etiquette department should bring new news." Dean Blehim handed Annan a glass of red wine, "So, the King of the North who has brought honor to the college, what can the college reward you? Woolen cloth?"

"Territory, Kinnaar is also fine."

Annan's answer was very Elimayas, not ivory tower at all.

“It seems our championship doesn’t ask for much.”

Dean Blehim looked outside the banquet and saw that new guests had arrived.

The new guests did not warm up the atmosphere of the banquet, but became a piece of ice added to the boiling water.

Because those who came were from Syltovis College.

Annan accidentally joined the whirlpool and picked up a glass of red wine. The fragrance of the fermented grapes made him couldn't help but taste it. The sweetness is very mild, I can only say it smells better than it tastes.

Luther King, who had become Annan's follower, leaned close to him and whispered: "Your Highness, do you know? There is a person in Syltovis College who has a good impression of you."

"Good impression?"

"Yeah, the kind that secretly likes you..."

Under the influence of red wine, a scene suddenly appeared in Annan's mind while holding the wine glass:

In the soothing and tender music of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", a boy is walking on the deserted beach on the rippling blue waves, and a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounds:

"What a coincidence, you are here too."

The girl with her trouser legs rolled up had her hands behind her back and her smile was like bright sunshine. "Do you want to come together?"

"Okay...okay"

As the sun sets, young girls with tender feelings walk on the white beach. Under the sunset glow, the long and narrow shadows gradually stick together——

"The person who has a crush on you is here!"

Luther King, who exclaimed, stepped aside, and behind him, a young man walked towards Annan.

Delphi made a deep bass: "You are younger and...handsome than I thought."

The music in his mind stopped suddenly, and as the lingering sound echoed, Annan handed the wine glass to Luther King calmly: "Sorry, I remembered that I forgot to feed the dog at home, so I'm sorry."

Annan, who did not stay long, caused Luther King to misunderstand, and said with hostility: "You were defeated by His Highness alone, and you actually came to the banquet to cause trouble?"

"Your Highness? This is a misunderstanding. We come with good intentions."

There are not many conflicts between the Sltovis Academy and the Solz Academy.

At most, the Sltoves Academy looks down on the Solz Academy, the professors of the Sltovis Academy look down on the professors of the Solz Academy, and the students of the Sltovis Academy look down on the students of the Solz Academy.

But just as Srtoves Academy defeated Solz Academy and wanted to bless them to win the ranking for the Innocence City, Annan beat Srtoves Academy to tears, and they also wanted to bless Annan to win the ranking.

Annan, who was far away from the whirlpool, was approached by Alice again. As the protagonist of this celebration dinner, it is difficult for Annan to be alone tonight.

"Don't get lost in vanity."

Alice said without reason: "Those who like you because of your money will leave because you lose your wealth; those who like you because of your appearance will change their hearts because you are old; those who like you because of your strength will leave because you lose your strength. Go away..."

"You suggest I add this story to the script?"

"I'm reminding you, Annan. This place is different from the North. You will see countless things you have never seen before, wealth, beauty... countless geniuses have been lost to the public because of them."

"Don't worry, I know what I want?"

"What do you want?" the upright Alice asked directly.

"Ratman."

Alice looked at Annan strangely: "Could it be that the rumor is..."

"Elves, orcs. Goblins, kobolds, tauren, gnolls, demons... The races in this world can abandon barriers and hatred and live together."

Not counting Xingyue Bay, there were only a few dozen aliens there at the time, so the atmosphere was similar to the towns before the alien order.

Alice wanted to say something else, but her hurried steps suddenly broke into the banquet.

The deputy dean's staggering steps were about to fall, which made Annan, who was recently writing "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", think that he was going to shout out at the next moment: Troll invasion.

But it was almost the same. I saw the vice-president running in front of Dean Breshim, and his urgent words could be heard in half of the auditorium: "Officials from the Imperial Etiquette Department are here! They are bringing trouble!"

After the words fell, the sound of neat leather boots stepped on the steps outside the auditorium. As etiquette officials, their etiquette is impeccable. It's just that they made the lively banquet suddenly cold.

Seeing them walking towards him, Annan had to confirm that the banquet was not held in his name.

They came for Annan's identity - not as the King of the North, but as a student.

Annan was falsely accused of not being a student.

The plot that Annan expected did not appear on the field, but appeared at the celebration dinner after the game.

However, trouble was eliminated as soon as it appeared. Dean Blehim told officials that this did not exist, and the visiting Srtoves College was forced to testify for Annan.

Not long after, the college professor hurried over with the parchment signed by Annan on the day he enrolled. At that time, there were still several days before the announcement of the Empire Competition.

The news of the Imperial Contest may have been discussed in the imperial capital for a long time, but if Annan can even know such secrets in advance... why does the dean need help with the fiefdom matter?

Officials from the Ministry of Ceremonies, who confirmed Annan's innocence, left. But with their arrival and the quiet retreat of those wealthy and aristocratic parents who were not very clean, the banquet could no longer maintain the excitement.

The students left and prepared to continue their second round.
