A strange world

Chapter 390 Chapter 48. Debt collection

"I saw it floating on the water..."

Ou Lin stared at Annan for a while and then walked away without asking for her clothes back. Annan was disturbed by a certain resolution he seemed to have made as he left.

Knowing that he would get into trouble, Annan would rather pick up the clothes of his ancestors.

After throwing the worthless silk clothes back into the bath, Annan returned to the mansion.

Vice-dean Boris is borrowing the Montreal family's manor to hold a celebration banquet.

"Lord Annan! Come here!" The shameless vice-president waved to Annan in an extremely flattering manner, "I have good news for you!"

"About the fief?"

"Mr. Dean asked me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the college and have already started looking for a fiefdom for you."

"Congratulations, Annan... We look forward to the day when you become the champion." Xanna's cheeks were flushed under the fireplace flame.

Others came to congratulate Annan in turn, including Annan's teammates. They knew who the biggest contributor was. Including Ai Xue, he actually brought those crooked melons from Solz Magic Academy into the top ten...

There were many people at the banquet, and the ancestors enjoyed the fun while sitting in the wheelchair presented by Annan.

"When will Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone be filmed?" Alice asked him.

"While filming."

Annan's plan was to first learn about the Floating Tower, then select a fiefdom, then use it to film "Annan Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to open the Syltoves market, and strike while the iron is hot to complete "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" and "Betal's Redemption" On the screen again.

The locals have never seen the magical images. At most, people who migrated from the north have heard about it, so it is not considered a piece of cake.

"Do you know about Floating Island?" Annan asked her.

"New Star Moon Bay? That will require a lot of money, and what you 'earn' back is far from enough."

"I know, but it shouldn't be a problem to come up with a prototype?"

Alice thought for a while: "One million gold coins should be enough for the model you mentioned."

Annan was silent for a while: "Silver coins?"

"gold."

"copper?"

"The basis for making the floating city float is the arcane energy core. The cheapest arcane energy core costs 500,000 gold coins and can only float a mage tower."

So one of the cheapest arcane energy cores is equal to the wealth of a hundred Ilimayas?

But it doesn't seem that far out of reach. Syltovis is close to many towns, and even the salary of a tavern waiter here is 15 silver coins per week. "The Fall of the Mage Tower" and "Betal's Redemption" can earn 20,000 gold coins in the North, but they will only earn more in the Middle Earth...

"Ancestor, do you know about the floating island?" Annan squatted next to the wheelchair and asked.

"I have some friends who own floating towers."

The ancestor narrowed his eyes and smiled, and asked Annan to find Olin Montreal.

"Olin, uh...isn't sister the leader of the Knights?"

"She knew the officials in the procurement department."

This should mean that you can get high quality at a low price.

…

"You have some misunderstandings about our guests."

In the bedroom on the third floor, a nightingale on the windowsill was talking to Oline Montreal.

Orin Montreal thought about what she had seen earlier: "But not for the Warlock."

Nightingale let out an anthropomorphic sigh: "Olin, you know what kind of person you are. Not even a warlock will like you..."

"My last name is Montreal. Nobles who want to pursue me can line up from the palace garden to the bottom of the city."

"Well, if he is really interested in you, he will come to you at night."

Knock knock knock——

A knock on the door suddenly echoed in the quiet night.

The nightingale blended into the night, and Orin Montreal opened the door and saw Annan standing outside the door.

No one taught Annan aristocratic etiquette, so he had no concept of "knocking on a lady's door late at night."

"What's up."

"Do you know about the floating city?"

Orin Montreal's indifferent face turned strange: "...You came to me for this?"

Annan suddenly realized: "Oh, our ancestors are also at the banquet. Shall we go down and talk?"

…

After Xian Na left Annan, she frequently looked outside the door. Where is he going so late? Is anyone else out there? Will he come back?

"He won't come back." Ai Xue came to her sister holding hot coffee.

"What are you talking about?"

Ai Xue looked at her ancestors napping in front of the fireplace: "This is a real Montreal family, different from us."

After the words fell, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened, and Annan and Orin Montreal appeared outside.

They passed by the surprised Xina and the silent Ai Xue, and the words floated into their ears: "Is there no other way? For example, let the wind element assist?"

Annan remembered that a book describing the four elements said that there were many empty islands floating in the wind elemental plane.

Orin Montreal replied no. The wind element is inherently unstable, and the islands in the plane are always being destroyed and reunited.

There are also fire elements, which at most make airship hot air balloons rise.

The core of the floating city only has arcane energy core. Use wind elements at most to save some money - the more you save, the greater the wind.

"Ancestor said you know someone from the purchasing department."

"It seems that our ancestors really like you." Olin Montreal was helpless. "Tell me what you want to buy. The price of the purchasing department is 20% off the price of the outside world. I will buy it for you."

Then he maintained his indifference and added:

"To thank you for giving my ancestor the wheelchair."

Annan thought, why does this person say nice things but not have a good face?

A 20% discount on 500,000 gold coins, which is 400,000 gold coins... is equivalent to earning 100,000 gold coins!

"Can I buy something else first? A space bag and two magic rings inscribed with medium elemental summons."

Orin Montreal thought for a while: "For ten thousand gold coins, I will give you three rings tomorrow, two element summoning rings and a space ring.

"Deal! Uh...Sister Olin, can I give you the money tomorrow?"

"What did you call me?" Olin Montreal was as cold as ice.

"Ms. Orin."

…

Bang bang bang - bang bang bang - bang bang bang -

The knocking on the door in the early morning woke up the residents of the mansion. The sleepy young man opened the door and saw the person outside. He was shocked and wanted to close the door, but was blocked by an arm: "You don't want to break the contract and be raped by the devil." Come to your door?"

Bang bang bang - bang bang bang - bang bang bang -

Not long after, there was another knock on the door at the end of the corridor. But the college, which had glimpsed the previous debt collection scene, refused to open the door.

The banging on the door lasted for a while and disappeared as the footsteps receded. The students in the room breathed a sigh of relief. When they hesitated to open the door to take a look, the door suddenly shook and sawdust flew.

The tip of the ax peeking through the door panel tells what happened.

The ax was pulled out of the door, and then another ax struck into the door panel, creating a gap in the door panel.

"Who is outside!" the students screamed.

A face emerged from behind the cracked door.

"This is Annan!"
