Alien world

Chapter 1472 Chapter 106. Figures
The affairs of the principality are no big deal.

Judging from the style of the Stuen ratmen, since they dared to show up and let everyone see them, it meant that they really had no intention of taking action.

At least not in the near future.

Paying attention back to the present, Olmedo asked Annan why he allowed "The Singer Contest" to copy them without any emotion, and whether he had any plans.

Annan said nonchalantly, "Isn't that what competition is? It's like running. You're running, and I'm running. How can one person copy the other?"

"It seems you have an idea." Olmedo said, "Tell me about it?"

"You don't even want to call me Lord Annan."

Evelin deliberately covered her mouth: “Hey, I’m still here.”

Olmedo, who was about to shout, also felt a little bad...

"Children should stop interrupting when adults are talking." Annan glared at Evelyn and urged, "Hurry up and shout."

"Shocked, Annan urged the young girl to scream late at night."

"Lord Annan," Olmedo said helplessly.

“Ah!” Evelin covered her eyes, unable to bear to watch.

Annan's vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied, so he said, "The competition is the main meal, but we also need to have desserts and soup. We can let the contestants who failed in the elimination round but are very popular perform as guests. When it comes to the finals, we can also let the judges perform on stage."

“I don’t think anyone can resist the temptation of a judge’s performance.”

Olmedo couldn't help but imagine the Scarlet Queen or the Skeleton King, or even Annan performing on stage, and deliberately praised: "What a good idea, Annan, you are amazing."

"Late at night, a young girl was alone with Annan in a room and praised him for being so great." Evelyn's muttering floated from the side.

Before Annan could speak, Olmedo laughed and said, "Aren't you here too?"

"Oh yeah...then change it to 'Late at night, Annan was alone in a room with two young girls and praised her for being awesome.'"

"Didn't the entertainment newspapers stop playing first?" Annan couldn't stand Evelyn's arrangement.

“It never hurts to save some articles.”

Annan said angrily: "Delete everything related to me!"

"What are you afraid of? As long as the content of the article is serious, that's all."

"But some people just like to read the headlines and believe them and then use them to discredit me."

"I don't think you need to worry about that." Olmedo cooperated: "Your reputation won't get any worse."

Late at night, Annan was exhausted from being unable to withstand the continuous attacks from two young girls.

……

It was a new day and Palin woke up in high spirits.

After enjoying the breakfast made by his wife, Palin, warm all over, went out to the street, ready to start his day's work.

"What are you doing here?" the cleaners' leader asked in surprise.

"Go, get to work..."

"Did I remember it wrong?" The official scratched his head and glanced at the shift schedule on the wall: "Yes, you have a day off today."

Oh yes, he almost forgot that he had rest days in this job.

Palin walked out with a smirk as officials told him to "have a good rest". He then walked down the street, feeling a little confused for a moment.

To be honest... he never dared to imagine that there would be a day when he didn't have to work, and he never thought about what he would do on that day.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the commercial street, which was crowded with people.

Although Free City has made many efforts to break the mountains, now called Blue Dragon Mountains, it has not been long since Lord Raymond fell. Many commercial activities in the Blue Dragon Mountains have not been restored, and the gap has not been filled after the slave traders were captured and executed in Free City.

In addition, people were afraid of the blue dragon and did not dare to come in to do business, making the street seem much quieter.

Both blue dragons and humans need time to get used to each other's presence.

The first to adapt were humans. At first, they feared that the blue dragons would enslave them, eat them, and plunder their wealth, but they found that the blue dragons would not let them pay the "tithe tax" - that is, they would collect 110% of the tax. If they were ignored, they would still be lazy and would actively cause trouble for the hated bandits.

And they would never beat or scold them, or take away anyone's daughter, or kill any untouchable who offended the dignity of the nobles. The poor people wondered why the blue dragon didn't come to enslave them earlier.

But the situation for blue dragons is much more awkward. Not only can they not rob those fragile little creatures, but they have to protect them, keep them alive, and pay taxes to them.

Palin is lucky that cleaners like him are like a bridge of communication between the two species, telling humans that blue dragons are not that scary. Telling blue dragons will make humans pay taxes obediently.

The most important thing is that he relied on Blue Dragon to earn money that he had never dared to imagine before.

He will embrace the blue dragon like a knight embraces his lord.

"Why am I here?"

Palin came to his senses and realized that the game would not start until the evening.

Just as he was about to go home and spend some time with Ge Na, a clerk came out of the "New World Gift Shop" on the side of the road and pasted a poster on the outer wall.

The poster showed the top one hundred contestants in the competition, huddled together with a pedestal under their feet.

"What is this?" Palin asked curiously.

"The contestant models are all limited editions, only 10 of each, so hurry up if you want one."

Palin was not interested in these toy-like figures, but he thought that Gena and future children would like them.

He walked into the store and saw the shelves filled with finger-high models.

The models all looked very delicate. Palin was a little nervous at first, but he relaxed a lot after seeing the price tag at the bottom: 10 silver coins.

It's a bit expensive...but he can afford it now.

"Why is there no blue dragon model?" Palin asked the clerk.

"Well, we're still negotiating."

Jingle bell, jingle bell——

"Have the new products arrived?" A young man with his chest covered with stickers and badges of characters like Jack and Rose rushed in excitedly, then saw the goods on the shelves and pounced on them with an exclamation.

"My God, these dolls are so exquisite. Lord Annan-Annan...why is there no model of Lord Annan!?"

"There are only models of the players at the moment."

The young man lamented, but was then attracted by the dazzling array of models on the shelf: "Only 10 silver coins? I want one of each!"

"Sorry, purchase limit is three per person."

"Then I want... the blue dragon Nocturis, the silver dragon Onyxia, and the gold dragon Terragon!" The young man listed them all.

He didn't say this casually. The silver dragon is the most beautiful, the golden dragon is the most majestic, and the blue dragon... is the most auspicious.

"I'm sorry, the models of the Dragon Clan and the Saint are still under negotiation."

After being hit repeatedly, the young people's enthusiasm was mostly extinguished, but then it was rekindled, and they selected several of the best-looking contestant models.

Jingle bell, jingle bell——

The wind chimes on the door kept shaking. Seeing that more and more people were gathering in the store, Palin, who was still hesitating, quickly picked out the most beautiful Siren model and took it to the counter to pay.
