A strange world

"A hundred years ago in the Principality of Keating, there was a knight who was trying to seize the position of minister. At that time, his powerful rival suddenly forcibly kissed Mr. Fea, who was the mayor of the city at the time, during a speech in public. This became a sensational scandal at the time. That person The sergeant denounces his rival for being corrupted by Chaos and giving himself to illusions of pleasure. In this case he almost becomes a chancellor."

Twin Minister Franning tells the story of his hometown:

"Then I asked him, how do you know? Maybe Chaos has emptied Sir's mind. He explained in great detail the symptoms of being corrupted by Chaos."

"At my suggestion, the Archduke asked the poor guy who lost the chance to get checked out, and it was found that he just drank too much absinthe and was dominated by hallucinations. The one who was truly corrupted by Chaos was the knight who detailed the symptoms of Chaos."

Flanning spread his palms:

"When a politician wants to frame another politician, he usually picks something he has done to frame him."

So having an assassin as a bodyguard sounds strange, but it's actually very suitable - because only assassins know how to assassinate a person -

This reminded Annan of a similar situation on earth. The princes and nobles found the tombs of the princes and nobles by looking for Feng Shui treasures, and the tomb robbers found the tombs of the princes and nobles by looking for Feng Shui treasures——

The wine lady who accompanied Annan to visit Franning also said: "It is a tradition to let assassins become bodyguards. Is it possible to expect a guardian mage?"

The thin Franning, who stood up straight, laughed heartily, and the wine lady's teasing came from an allusion.

There was such a joke in the royal capital of Ruikaner: an elite mage was assigned to protect a noble. Because the commission was rich, the mage used many methods, such as twenty-four-hour shielding, iron armor, Even the advanced malicious detection that only epic spellcasters can perform, but in the end the person she wanted to protect still died in the bathtub.

Later, the noble's family members investigated and found that the truth was very simple - the wine the noble drank that day was mixed with a beneficial potion that made people "excited", thus evading advanced malicious detection. Then when this blood-soaked aristocrat routinely soaked in hot springs with a somewhat high temperature every night, his head could not withstand the pressure...

After spending a relatively pleasant morning, Annan and Ms. Wine prepared to leave the official residence where Froning was staying.

"I'm the first stop, right? Where's the second stop?"

As one of the twin ministers in the principality after the Grand Duke, Franning could easily see Annan's plan.

The more people know about Annan, the safer Annan will be in Breeze. For the sake of 50 spinning machines, he didn't mind this small use.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any suggestions?" Annan is good at showing kindness to others and making some modest requests based on this kindness.

Fronning did have one tip: "The famous theater company Swan Dance, which is touring in Riccanall, came to Breeze the other day, so the theater is packed these days."

"thanks for your help."

"It's okay. After all, Jonah was very cute when he was a child..."

Annan guessed that the "Jonah" he was talking about was an ancestor of the Reeves family.

After coming out of the official residence and getting into the carriage, Annan asked the wine lady sitting opposite with her slender legs folded: "Your Excellency Flanning seems to be very old?"

"The Principality of Keating is bordered by the Sunset Mountains. Before the world war started thousands of years ago, the elves there had coexisted with humans for a long time. So Mr. Franning has part of the elven blood."

"So he's over a hundred years old now?"

"I just celebrated my 350th birthday a while ago." Ms. Wine's gaze returned to Annan from the mansion passing by the window, "Then where do you want to go?"

"Let's go to the theater first." Annan said.

The wine lady's lazy chuckle was tinged with a hint of hoarseness: "It seems that our sweetheart has already figured out where to go after coming out of the theater."

As the carriage bearing the emblem of the Winchet family drove to the theater, Annan had indeed thought about where to go next - the library.

This may offend Mr. Victor, but the library in Breeze City is not comparable to the "bookstore" like Pinglin Town, and the people who go to the library are not ordinary people.

It's just that Annan may not be too welcoming to visitors who want peace and quiet.

In front of the Benitez Grand Theater, the owner who had been notified in advance warmly welcomed Annan with a strange ceremony: "Your arrival makes the Benitez Grand Theater shine."

"This must be your first time here, right? I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Actually, I was here a few days ago." Annan said honestly.

The boss asked in surprise when. Annan thought for a while: "Just five or six days ago."

"Then have you seen the Swan Dance Troupe's performance?"

"No……"

Because at that time I was delivering food to people in line at the theater.

The theater owner said that now is the time and invited Annan to enter the theater, sit in the VIP seat, and watch the performance of the Swan Dance Troupe.

The red curtain slowly opened, and Annan was amazed by the graceful dance and the flexible postures that dancers on earth could never do. Then after the performance, Annan went backstage to get up close and personal with the Swan Dance Troupe.

If there were newspapers in this world, tomorrow's newspaper would definitely publish: The King of the North received the Swan Dance Troupe at the Benitez Grand Theater.

newspaper……

So Annan ignored the excited and expectant swan girls because of his thoughts.

"Do you believe what that boss said?"

Sitting in the carriage, Annan came back to his senses and found that the wine lady's mood had changed.

"What?"

The wine lady said that the boss's etiquette in welcoming Annan was an ancient etiquette from hundreds of years ago. This illustrates two things: this boss knows the etiquette of ancient families, and it is very likely that a certain family is behind him.

Or remind the Annan Theater of its extraordinary origins and don’t try to take advantage of them.

At that time, Annan's mind was filled with the beautiful dance performances of the Swan Dance Troupe and newspapers, and he didn't pay attention to what the wine lady said - even if he paid attention, he wouldn't understand it.

Then go to the library and the wine lady is getting ready to leave.

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"Although I am happy to be with you, I have important things to do." The wine lady stepped onto the carriage that picked her up and waved to Annan, "Dara will protect you, sweetheart."

In the quiet car, Annan's eyes fell on Dai La.

This elf guard is taciturn, like Annan's shadow.

The next plan had some surprises - today is the library's closing day. It was almost evening when Annan drove back to the manor.

After dinner, Annan returned to the bedroom and asked Della curiously: "Do you need to rest?"

"I'm next door."

After Della left, Annan arranged a meditation ceremony and started tonight's meditation.

In the next bedroom separated by a wall, Della took off her elf leather armor, and her bald tail wrapped around her slender waist was instantly covered by the bed.
