Alien world

Chapter 187 40. Betal City
Compared with the majestic and majestic, simple and primitive buildings of Breeze City, and the snow-capped mountains that look chilling, the style of Betar City, which is painted with bright paint, is closer to the south and more prosperous.

At least their carriage didn't squeeze into the city until the evening.

There are far fewer passers-by who wear animal skin protection cloaks, and because of the implementation of the Alien Order, there are no elves or dwarves and other aliens on the street.

Follow other caravans to the square of the Chamber of Commerce, where they should leave.

"You really don't want to inform the village of the city lord's mansion? You can get a lot of bounty." The princess snorted nonchalantly: "I don't need a bounty, I just have to let Betal City know about it."

"Bounty? Is it a lot?" Annan asked suddenly.

"There should be dozens of silver coins..."

"Then I'll go with you, I don't have much money..." Annan had almost spent all his money, and he didn't want to spoil the fun of this adventure with the portal.

"We want one too!" The knight girl jumped out and said.

"okay."

The princess is calm on the surface, but her heart is bleeding...Joan, Joan, why did you say that...

They sell the goods first.The lone man and his nephew or son transported a cart of grain, the knight girl Alstorf carried a cart of leather, the princess's cart was loaded with rough and simple female accessories such as earrings and rings, and Annan carried a batch of cotton thread.

The things of the lonely man and the knight girl were quickly taken away by the merchants, and the princess's jewelry was only half sold--slow and troublesome.

Annan's cotton yarn ... did sell, and the merchant hesitantly gave him 16 silver coins and told him not to do it again.

Princess Joan was in a better mood: "Don't you know yet? The Susan spinning machine of the King of the North has made the spinning speed more than ten times faster. Cotton yarn has long been worthless!"

"King of the North?"

Annan pretended to be ignorant and asked them who the king of the north was.

The lonely man and the knight girl looked at each other, and Astolfo said: "The king of the north is a handsome and intelligent nobleman. He ruled Xingyue Bay to live and work in peace and contentment. Countless ratmen were killed in that crisis! It is said that there is something called magic images, but the tickets are too expensive, we have no chance to see..."

"Any more?"

Annan looks forward to continuing to hear compliments from strangers.

"Uh……"

The knight girl asked the princess for help, and the princess said with longing: "It is rumored that he has a pair of black eyes, and those eyes are like black gems... If you dig them out, they must be very valuable..."

Annan quietly tugged down the felt hat that covered his hair.

After unloading the goods, they rushed to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the commercial street in Betal City - this place is busier and busier than Breeze City, with a strong commercial atmosphere. The snowflake sculpture of the Twelve Kings of the Northern Territory, representing the Diatra family, stands majestically in the The square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Compared to the Diatra family, the Reeves family, who lead a peaceful life in Osulonde, are like a group of country bumpkins...

When they approached the guards, Annan's expression was calm, and it was okay to reveal his secrets. Maybe he would be shocked by "Why are you the legendary king of the north".

As a result, the guards didn't look at them at all. After telling what happened in the village, the guards called for documents to record in detail.

"...you say those villagers are numb and slow?"

"Hmm! Like a drunkard swaying around."

"Maybe it's the blood of madness..." The document recorded this.

"Crazy blood?"

Annan had never heard of it, and the knight girl explained: "An evil spell. The vampire throws mad blood into the water source, and humans who drink the polluted water source will become mindless slaves."

Annan thought that he saw a well in the village...

But then they not only failed to get the bounty, but were almost thrown into the dungeon—the clerk suspected that they were polluted, but fortunately, the knight girl used the law to help them escape.But the bounty was also wasted.

"Why are they doing this! Obviously we brought back the news first!"

"They can take the bounty all by themselves, why should they share it with us?"

Joan continued to bleed, her silver...

"My silver coin..."

Joan quickly covered her mouth, realizing that she didn't say it accidentally, and asked the depressed Annan if she had a place to live.

"I haven't found it yet."

"Seeing that this is the first time you have come to Beital City, I know that the tavern is safe and cheap, do you want to go together?"

"of course."

Joan led them to a residential area bordering the slums. The guy who knew her drove three carriages to the backyard, and Joan couldn't wait to rush into the hotel.

"Uncle Murma, I'm back!" Joan warmly greeted the gray-bearded middle-aged man behind the counter: "They are not fat sheep, they are my friends."

This hotel was not as lively as a tavern. There were a few round tables in the lobby. The oldness and desertedness reminded Annan of Dawn Tavern.

But as they selected the room and ordered some food, the tavern quickly became lively.

After Uncle Murma smiled and delivered a plate of food, they each talked about their own experiences. When it was Annan's turn, he said, "I have a family to support."

Specifically, more than 1500 people and more than 300 gold coins per month.

Joan tells the story of her being persecuted by the vicious queen.

"Are you really the princess of the Tatum Empire?"

"It's true."

Joan lifted the hem of her skirt and curtseyed, "My name is Joan Ecocela Anfinsen Behdad Clemente."

"I am...Francois." Annan said.

The knight girl hesitated to speak.

Overall, this dinner puts them at ease.Annan declined the bathtub prepared by Uncle Murma. He thought it would be too extravagant to go out and take a bath, and it would wash off the dust on his face.

When returning to the room to rest, there was a light knock on the door.

Wondering who would come looking for him so late, Annan opened the door.A strange and sneaky figure stood outside the door:

"Guest, do you want to watch something exciting?"

"...how exciting?"

"Do you know the Philosopher's Stone passed down among nobles? It's so exciting..."

Before recording the Philosopher's Stone, it has been circulated among nobles... As the creator of magic images, Annan has never seen the works of these colleagues... and it only costs 10 copper coins.

Looking around the corridor, there was no movement in Astolfo's room. Annan quietly closed the door, followed the young man out of the tavern, and went into a house in the alley. More than 20 young people crowded in the living room, sitting on the shaky wooden chair, urging the boss to activate the Philosopher's Stone.

And after the last guest, Annan, took out 10 copper coins, the boss activated the recording magic stone-after a few seconds of waiting, the familiar "New World" and the blue planet appeared in front of him.

Feeling bored, Annan left the dark room and went back to the hotel to rest.

He had a sweet dream.
