A strange world

Chapter 427 Chapter 85. New Year’s Gift

"Why are you still here?"

Late at night, Olin, who came back from the Knights' station, saw Annan and his ancestor sitting in front of the fireplace.

"Shh..."

Annan first closed the book in his ancestor's hand, picked up the sleepy Lily, covered her with a blanket, and tiptoed to Ou Lin, who was showing a complicated expression. "My ancestor just fell asleep..."

"I'll stay one more day, buy gifts for my friends and leave tomorrow."

The new year is coming soon, and it’s time to prepare gifts for friends.

"You can go to the guest room and rest." Olin's tone contained a gentleness that she didn't realize, "Thank you..."

The ancestor could see it, and she could also see that Annan did not take advantage of the care given to the ancestor.

"It's nothing, I'm going to rest. Remember to keep your voice down."

Annan slipped back into the guest room. At this time, the servant came over and sighed: "Master Annan pestered our ancestors to tell stories all night. Our ancestors really like Master Annan..."

Ou Lin suddenly wanted to drag Annan out of the bedroom.

A peaceful and comfortable night at Montreal Manor. Early the next morning, Annan picked a carriage with the emblem of the Montreal family from the stables and headed to the imperial capital.

The first is a gift from Aunt Susan's family.

Annan has always felt that Aunt Susan's apple pie is more delicious than the ones in the store. Why not let Aunt Susan open an apple pie restaurant? Then Uncle Holly had something to do, and Martin's gift was unlimited apple pie in the dining room.

And then there's Ilimoyas... Ilimoyas... There's no better gift than a perfect lair!

In Olmedo's case, give her a vice-lord?

Annan even thought about what to say: "Although you have lost a city, you have a floating city!"

Gifts from the eldest sister Itilia and the second sister Layla. Layla is easier to satisfy. Just take her to Syltovis for seven days of fishing. Itilia is so smart that Annan always avoids being alone with her to avoid being discovered. Thinking about it carefully, the eldest sister doesn't seem to have many jewelry...

Gem Star Jewelry Store.

Annan pretended to be selecting people downstairs for a while, and an employee who recognized him called Reis over.

The businessman who made a lot of money from Annan's advertising generously said: Annan will pick whatever he likes.

"Wouldn't this be inappropriate..." An said shyly.

"this is nothing!"

Compared with a few pieces of jewelry, Reis values ​​future cooperation more: "Frenda was still saying she missed you yesterday..."

Flanda is only 13 years old...

Annan had to decline politely: "I have to go back to Syltovis after I finish picking out jewelry for my sisters."

He looked around in the jewelry store and selected a white gemstone necklace for his eldest sister, which was just right for her pale skin.

At this time, Reis said: "You just said 'your sisters', right?"

"I have several sisters." Annan said shyly.

Mrs. Winter is older than him, the elf mentor is older than him, Maria is older than him even though she is a rat, Olin has been called sister so many times, it should be counted, Ilimoyas is just a young man but she is from the dragon clan. The young man is almost over a hundred years old.

Annan took the opportunity to remember the gifts given to them.

Lady Winter loves animal skins, and Reiss says he keeps a snow bear cape;

The elf mentor just needs to give you jewelry. Annan personally selected an alexandrite leaf-shaped necklace;

There was no need to give Maria a gift, so Annan picked out a piece of valuable jewelry at random; Orin obviously didn’t need a necklace, so Annan picked out another piece of valuable jewelry; Ilimoyas liked gems, but had already decided what to give her. , so Annan picked out a piece of valuable jewelry again.

Putting away the accessories, Annan expressed his gratitude to Leith, and Leith hoped to contact him when he shoots magic images again in the future——

All gifts given by merchants have been marked with prices secretly.

Speaking of Lady Winter, Annan remembered that there was a nun... but Bethal City was occupied by ratmen, so she might not be found anymore.

Fast's new New Year's gift is a fishing rod, and Victor's gift is the signature of his ancestor. Dean Blehim's gift was a pair of wool socks, but Annan didn't know if he still had any family.

Alice's gift is to dye her hair blond and play Jack on New Year's Day - which just so happens that the box office for "Fall of the Tower" has been declining recently.

Annan couldn't think of any gifts for Xiana, Theophilus, Vice Dean, and Tina at the moment, so he simply gave them apple pie from Aunt Susan.

And Oulin's gift...

He had ready-made people to ask, why should he think for himself?

Just as he was about to leave the city, Annan was suddenly stopped by a carriage also bearing the emblem of the Montreal family. The knight exuded an icy aura.

"Who are you?"

A girl was sitting in the carriage, opening the curtains and looking at Annan.

There are at least several thousand direct members of the Montreal Golden Family, but not many are qualified to ride in the family carriage—at least not including the strange young man in front of them.

"Hello, I'm Annan."

This girl vaguely resembles Olin, after all, they are both of Montreal blood.

"I mean, who are you? Why are you riding in the Montreal family's carriage?" There was also a hint of arrogance.

"I'm buying something for my ancestor and sister Oulin."

"...I will confirm with Sister Oulin." The girl stared at Annan for a moment and recalled the knight.

It seems that not all people with the surname Montreal are like Olin and the ancestors... and those in the Kingdom of Rekaner.

Putting away his emotions, Annan returned to the manor. First, I asked Aunt Susan to help me make some apple pies, put them in gift boxes, and then ran to the garden.

"Ancestor, what does Sister Oulin like?"

"What do you want to do, little Annan?"

"What do you want to do, little Annan?" Lily imitated.

Pulling Lily's beard, Annan said: "In my hometown, there is a custom of giving gifts to friends during the New Year."

The ancestor leaned forward and the blanket covering him slipped off: "Then you are not allowed to tell little Oulin that I told you."

"Don't worry." Annan lowered his voice.

…

Dozens of minutes later, Annan appeared on the streets of the imperial capital again.

Annan's frequent appearance began to attract the attention of passers-by, but because of the carriage, they did not dare to approach.

In fact, anyone can come to this kind of thing, but Annan felt that the gift had to be prepared by himself to be meaningful - especially since Orin had special preferences.

You can also give apple pies as gifts, such as sending one to Gem Star Jewelry Store and Isabel's residence.

At a certain moment, Annan, who had gone to several shops to find a pair of distressed boots, went out and was blocked by a carriage.

"I don't know what you are doing..." the figure behind the window sneered, "but you think you can escape our sight?"

Annan saw Sylvie. She was still beautiful, but not as seductive as she was at the party.

"There's no need to call anyone, this is just a clone of me, we will do it again-"

"This is for you." Annan handed her the apple pie wrapped in a gift box: "Happy New Year."

Annan left happily, looking down at the plump and sweet apple pie, Sylvie remained silent.
