A strange world

Chapter 528 Chapter 185. House Thief

In the early morning, Annan rolled out of bed.

His movement made Della burst into the room, ignoring Annan who was rubbing his head and getting up, and scanned the room.

"Where is the enemy?"

"No enemies...it was Lily who pushed me. Bad Lily."

"Meow?" Lily raised her head while licking her paws.

After Della went out, Annan looked sad again.

The remaining "Betal's Redemption" and "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" combined are only four hours...and I will get another four hours tonight.

Annan wanted to discuss with Belludona whether he could return Mad Dog Archduke's soul - but when he thought that the suffering he suffered in hell was a hundred times more painful than his own, Annan could bear it no more.

Arriving at the restaurant downstairs, Annan poked at the mushroom soup with a spoon in a daze.

"You don't seem to have had a good rest." Ingrid, who appeared on time, sat next to her.

"I'm worried that those orcs will cause trouble..." Annan raised his eyelids lazily.

"They are very honest. If they were pea pods, they would know what to do and what not to do."

"Wandoujia?"

"The mercenary group's description of the orcs who rely on mercenaries to make a living."

Mercenary groups are happy to hire orcs. An ordinary orc can win or lose against a human warrior. The former only needs to take care of the food, while the latter needs to distribute money and needs to be careful when facing interests.

They may not be the best warriors, but they must be the best beasts.

Ingrid handed the financial list to Annan, "You can handle it yourself." Annan pushed back.

"You'd better take a look, our finances are running low."

"Why do you have no money again!?"

Annan just wanted to kick Ingrid's ass as hard as the Demon Lord kicked himself.

"Don't you know that the Mage Tower is a gold-eating beast?" Ingrid pointed to the construction site of the Mage Tower in the distance outside the window, "And you also requested to use orichalcum as a building material..."

Without the magic image to support the finances, Ingrid and Olmedo would have avoided the wind pond and lived in the country.

Annan asked hesitantly: "How much more do we have to spend to make the Mage Tower powerful..."

"You mean the first floor is completed? We have currently purchased about half a million gold coins of orichalcum,"

Annan seemed to see the phantom of flames grinning and kicking his forehead, so hard that stars appeared in his eyes——

"So-" Ingrid looked at Annan's uncomfortable look.

"No...I will work hard to make money." Annan raised his head, painful but determined.

It cannot be changed into an ordinary mage tower... From the moment he learned about the Tower of Babel, Annan wanted to recreate the same creation in his own territory.

No lord could refuse the spectacle, no man could refuse the tower.

At this time, the maid Abby pushed the eldest sister in. She said: "Don't worry about money for now. I just sent about 30,000 gold coins to the treasure house."

A family secret?

As soon as Annan's worries surfaced, Itilia explained: "The blue dragon's private possession."

"I remember that Ilimoyas didn't have much money..."

The blue dragon had been lying on the bare rock for more than ten days.

"Remember when I investigated the missing treasure house? I found that the treasure house lost more property than I thought. At first I thought it was the guards guarding the treasure house who stole it, but they didn't know about it at all. No outsiders have entered the treasure house."

Itilia's investigation experience is as twists and turns as a detective story. She searched for a long time without any clues, so she used Alice's prophecy to first find the place where Claire hid the jewelry, and then followed the clues back to find the "robbery hole" inside the treasure house.

This is something no one expected. Because the underground of Liberty City is built with a layer of orichalcum as the foundation, and legend has it that the foundation cannot be broken, so they forgot that there is a layer of soil of tens of meters from orichalcum to the ground... The thief is under the ground, orichalcum. Above, everyone digs holes in the blind spots in their hearts and steals the treasure house.

Then Idilia followed the thieves' cave to the outside of the treasure house, and then followed the clues to find the Crystal Nest...

"That thief wants to pour dirty water on Ilimayas?" Annan frowned.

Itilia and Ingrid looked at each other helplessly: "Is it possible that your 'Blue Dragon Princess' stole these."

There are fewer and fewer treasures in Liberty City, and more and more Ilimoyas' lairs.

"This is impossible!" Annan said firmly, "If Ilimayas stole these, she would not be able to hand them over."

"This is the part of the blue dragon's order. After I explained my purpose, she obediently spit out the stolen property."

If it had been a chaotic and evil red dragon, it would have been "How can you call this something I stole from you?" at this moment.

Ilimoyasi has already admitted it, and Annan has no choice but to quibble. "How do you want to punish her?" he asked reluctantly.

Ingrid said: "The crime of theft under the Free City Code is punished according to the amount. If no one is injured, it is usually a certain period of work, and the person will be released after meeting a certain number of working hours."

"But human punishment is not suitable for blue dragons..."

A worker can move a day's worth of things and Ilimoyas can deliver them all in one trip...

At this time, Itilia said: "The meaning of the code is to punish the criminals. Different races have different feelings of pain. Our punishment should be the same as making the dragon family lose their gold coins."

"Then the reward to Ilimoyas will be suspended and will be resumed when it reaches the amount she stole."

This can be regarded as establishing the prestige of the "Free City Code" - in the future, other races and other dragons will be punished the same for making mistakes.

Next, Annan went to the Timberwolf tribe's mansion and spent a day with the orcs. When I came back, I took a detour to the Musketeers' Camp and borrowed a pair of plate armor.

That night, Annan put on plate armor alone in the bedroom, lay on the bed holding two magic stones, and slowly fell asleep...

Annan, wearing plate armor, appeared in the dream.

Annan is smiling, and the flame shadow is grinning.

…

In the early morning, Annan sat up from the bed with a dying moan of pain.

His whole body was aching, but there was no injury at all... Annan felt that now that he was fighting an orc, he wouldn't scream as long as he wasn't killed.

Fortunately, Lily, with her tail erect, came over and warmed Annan's traumatized heart.

It's both strange and reasonable to say - in the dream the plate armor was crushed into a metal ball, but in reality the plate armor was intact.

After taking off his plate armor and putting it into the magic ring, Annan ran to Bronzebeard's blacksmith shop without eating breakfast: "How long will my Orichalcum be used for?"

"It will be delivered this week."

"Tell them to make another pair of orichalcum armor that can be worn on your body...according to my figure."

Bronzebeard was confused, because this thing had no other advantages besides being extremely hard. It has no stretchability or conductivity and can only block sharp weapons. Being hit in the chest by a war hammer is like...being hit in the chest by a war hammer.

Its only purpose is to make the person wrapped in the armor "die beautifully."
