A strange world

Chapter 394 Chapter 52. Imperial Dinner

As the Imperial Contest approaches, the street lamps and eaves are hung with colorful flags.

It can be seen that the empire attaches great importance to the competition, giving the competition two days later the color of a grand festival.

Ten colleges selected from one hundred and sixty colleges were preparing for the competition excitedly. At this moment, Annan was sitting in the auction venue, watching the beautiful girl dragging the auction items, and occasionally lazily calling out the bid.

It is not difficult to do what was done in the capital of Rekaner again in the imperial capital of Tatooine, just like the fate of Annan and the Montreal family.

From lazy to angry to furious, the Bell Gordon Knight Academy who blocked Annan is complacent about Annan's reaction, and Annan has already joined forces with Sir Kimberly to share the spoils.

"You have helped me a lot. I am in urgent need of money..."

The unimaginable harvest made Sir Kimberly talk more: "Don't worry, your share will be given to you right away."

The eight lots sold for about 5,600 gold coins. After deducting the auction's 5% handling fee, Annan received 1,300 gold coins.

"You are so cunning...cunning...smart, I have never heard of your name." Kimberly praised Annan in a panic, while looking at Annan: "Are you a student participating in the competition?"

"Um."

"Strange, you didn't receive an invitation?"

"invite?"

Kimberly said that the empire attaches great importance to the top ten competition, so the nobles and forces rushed in like cats smelling fishy smell, and invitations floated like snowflakes to the top ten colleges.

The fact that they didn't receive the invitation should be related to living in the Montreal family manor - no noble would dare to compete with the royal family.

"Do you know about Solz Academy of Magic?"

"I am."

Kimberly suddenly became more enthusiastic: "It is said that one of your students named Annan Reeves was cunning and cruel, and captured dozens of students in the bottom nest?"

"I am."

"Well……"

All Kimberly can say is that she lives up to her reputation.

The knight who was in urgent need of money was unexpectedly smart and did not pester Annan to please him. He just handed him an address.

Kimberly hurriedly left from the back door of the auction. Annan asked the auction house waiter to load Kimberly's 1,300 gold nuggets and the auctioned coins into the carriage and return to the manor.

When he pushed the door open, Annan found an invitation stuck on the crack of the carriage door:

[Mr. Annan Reeves:

We sincerely invite you to attend the dinner at No. 33 Prony Street. Many of our female members would like to meet the young magician who has repeatedly performed miracles. 】

"They compare me to other warlocks?" Annan said coldly and continued to scan the rest of the content.

[To show our appreciation for you, we have made some adventures and invited guests that you are interested in, such as the elf lady, ghost lady, succubus lady, as well as goblins and slime princesses who look forward to your reputation. alien

——Magical Magic Research Society. 】

He asked the guards to carry the treasure chest back to his bedroom, and Annan who followed was called over by Olin Montreal.

"What are you always carrying to the manor?" She asked knowingly while standing in front of the corridor window.

"Money. I have no place to put it now..." Annan answered calmly. "If you buy the magic ring back, I won't have to carry the treasure box home all the time. By the way, where is Proni Street?"

"I'm not your map."

"Neither did our ancestors."

Olin Montreal's superior aura surged out: "Are you threatening me?"

"Why do you think so? Ou Lin..." Annan noticed the wheelchair appearing in the corner from the corner of his eye, and said deliberately disappointedly, "...Sister, I also have a sister, and she, like you, has grown up at the age when she should be having fun. Bear the burden of the family."

"I told her that life is not only about endless work, but also about relaxation and fun. Do you know what she said?"

"How to say?"

Olin Montreal felt a twinge of curiosity.

"She said, 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'. There is always someone to support the burden. And I don't feel distressed. These are already part of my life. Rather, protecting you will make me relax."

"With great power comes great responsibility?" Orin Montreal chewed this sentence softly, and the distance she deliberately kept from Annan disappeared. "...If I have the opportunity, I will bring your sister as a guest."

"I will."

"But don't call me...sister again."

Annan saw that the wheelchair was still there, so he had no choice but to continue: "Okay, Sister Oulin."

"Annan Reeves, my last name is Montreal, you have to know-"

"It's not like the Montreal Golden Family can't have friends." Annan interrupted Oulin Montreal, who always had a bad face, "My ancestors hope you can be happy, and you don't want her to be unhappy, right, sister Oulin~"

Olin returned to the room with the sound of cold boots and sat behind the table, her restlessness gradually fading away. She saw the invitation on the desk and whispered in annoyance: "Damn it, I forgot to mention the real thing..."

…

Xian Na pushed the empty wheelchair to the backyard at night with great thoughts.

"Xiao Xian Na?"

Xian Na came to her senses at her ancestor's call and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, ancestor, I couldn't help but sit in the wheelchair for a while..."

"It's nothing. If you like, little Annan can make one for you too."

"No, no need..."

"It's nothing. Little Annan is an excellent person. I think you won't mind if he makes a few more wheelchairs to distribute."

Xian Na seemed to hear something and began to think wildly.

Olin did not come over during the next dinner time, and only asked the guard to deliver the invitation letter.

The invitation letter was signed by the Imperial Etiquette Department, inviting Orin and Solz Magic Academy to the Imperial Banquet Hall tomorrow night. Xana and the others were all on the guest list, and Annan was no exception.

They didn't bring any clothes, so the Montreal family had a custom-made suit for them. On the evening of the next day, everyone who had changed into formal clothes came to the living room one after another, and several carriages were waiting outside the door.

The Tasia-style dresses of Alice, Xana, and Ashe reflected the beauty and vitality of the girls. Even Orin Montreal put on a slim-fitting dress to accentuate her tall and straight figure.

They stood in front of the steps and asked, "Annan, what do you think of my dress?" Xian Na enthusiastically turned around in front of Annan.

Annan froze in place.

"What's wrong with you? Brother An Nan..."

"I...you should be more normal."

Annan became more and more skilled at teasing others, but found it difficult to resist being teased by others.

Xian Na almost said it, but Oulin, who was still riding on horseback, came over. Doubts swept over the excited Xian Na and the blushing Annan, and asked them to get in the carriage and set off.

From the North to the Middle-earth, all banquets are similar, except that the group of people and costumes have changed.

Oh, and those "old friends" from the bottom nest competition.

There were many students and nobles who struck up a conversation with Annan, but they all just said hello. Annan didn't show much utilitarianism - now is not the time to get to know the nobles.

At this time, a beautiful and plump lady came with joy.

"I am Sylvie. My nephew once lost to you, but he admires the strong and likes you very much."

Annan blurted out: "I like you too."
