Alien world

Chapter 1006 Chapter 237. Promotion, wealth and beauty
Inner city, Ebbett Manor.

The butler paced back and forth, waiting for good news from the person who took action.

It turned out that the person who came back was not the assassin, but the person who stayed outside to tip off the enemy.

"Caught on the spot, assassination failed!?"

The butler screamed as if the sky had fallen, and knocked on the baron's study door in a daze.

"What are you afraid of?" Baron Ebert noticed the butler's uneasiness.

"Master, they discovered us, the assassination failed..."

"Idiots, how could you do this?!" Baron Ebert sat up in shock.
The butler was stunned and asked, "Didn't you, Master, send someone to assassinate him...?"

Baron Ebert cursed: "I mean how could we be discovered!"

I thought it would be easy to teach a small guard captain a lesson, but I didn't expect that a bunch of losers couldn't even do it!
"Are they dead?"

"That guy might still be alive..."

"I mean our people!"

The housekeeper's heart was hanging: "I don't know..."

Baron Ebert turned around for a few times, then sat back at his desk and wrote a letter to the butler: "Send it to Sheriff Milburn and tell him it was a misunderstanding. Don't mess it up again!"

"Okay sir."

The butler took the letter and hurriedly left the study.

Baron Ebert felt exhausted. As a baron, he actually had to clean up the mess for his subordinates...

At this time, the butler who had just left stepped back again. Baron Ebert asked impatiently: "Why are you back again?"

“Because this road is blocked.”

Annan followed the butler into the study and said with a chuckle.

"who are you?"

Baron Ebert looked at Annan and confirmed that he did not know him.

And because Annan had already changed into the uniform of a city guard, he was unable to connect this young talent with the despicable captain who was destroying things and making money.

"Master Olme." Annan noticed that Baron Ebert was unfamiliar with this name, and added, "That's the person you want to assassinate."

"So it's you...but your clothes..." Baron Ebert was unsure.

"I'm sorry, I was promoted to city guard officer just before the assassination." Annan's men rushed into the study from behind. "So according to the kingdom's laws, Baron Ebert assassinated the kingdom's officials and is suspected to be related to the Free Blade. Please follow us back to the city guard station for investigation."

The man who was promoted to captain grabbed Baron Ebert, but he broke free: "Let me go!"

“Master Olme!” He glared at Annan, but when he saw Annan with a gentle smile and the city guards gathered in the corridor behind him, his tone softened a little: “This is just a misunderstanding. I have a good relationship with your Sheriff Milburn…”

Annan tilted his head. "Write down what he said. I suspect Sheriff Milburn was involved."

Baron Ebert was in doubt, and the clerk hesitated, "Is this..."

"I will be promoted to sheriff sooner or later. How can they make room for me if they don't step down?"

And since this guy is not on Renato's free blade list, there is no need to be polite to him.

"Who are you?" Baron Ebert already regarded Annan as some kind of gray glove.

"I told you, Master Olme."

Annan waved his hand, signaling his men to take the people out, and he was going to start looting. Baron Ebert's lips trembled slightly, and only then did he realize that he might be in trouble...

The baron, the butler, and the servants and guards of the manor were all taken to the city guard, and then the exciting looting session began.

Annan first asked Maria to find the property hidden in the manor, and only summoned Elimayas when she could no longer find it.

"We'll split the property in the manor 70% and 30%."

"Only seven?" said Elimois.

"Seven are mine, and three are yours."

Relying on the dragon race's talent for sensing treasure, Ilimayas found treasures from everywhere as if she knew it in advance: murals that looked worthless but were actually historically ancient, silver coins hidden in armor sculptures, and even coins lost under carpets.

Ilimoyas finally found about 300 gold coins worth of property. After receiving her share of 100 gold coins, Ilimoyas said, "I'm not leaving."

"No, you're too obvious."

As soon as Ilimayas makes a move, everyone will guess her identity - after all, one of Annan's teasing titles outside is "Blue Dragon Knight".

After sending Ilimayas away, Annan dared to take out the spoils: it was unexpected that a small baron actually had 400 gold nars, and the remaining property, deeds, and artworks were worth 1300 gold nars in total...

Annan pocketed the money, and if he needed to cash it out, he planned to hand it over to Sheafield.

After leaving Ebert Manor... no, it was already Olmey Manor. Annan led the city guards back to the base in a mighty procession.

Compared to the captain of the guard, the city guard officer could command soldiers from ten to a hundred, and had a specific jurisdiction. Most importantly, the city guard officer had a certain degree of autonomy and no longer had to be ordered by his superiors - although Annan didn't need to obey.

The bureaucrats, or the bureaucrats of the Kingdom of Rekanel, were destined not to assign a jurisdiction to Annan so quickly, and they were also stealing fat meat from other city guards. Annan was not in a hurry and interrogated Baron Ebert first.

It was irrefutable evidence that he was colluding with the Freedom Blade. Even if he said it was a lie, who would believe it? Who could believe it?

Everyone wants a piece of the credit for capturing the Free Blade, not even Renato minds.

In order to protect himself, Baron Ebert mentioned many people's names, but Annan warned him: "Don't mention others. Whoever you mention now is harming them."

Annan needed Baron Ebert to give more evidence of crimes, but he didn't need to expose more people - just confessions wouldn't bring down a bunch of nobles. Sheriff Milburn saw Annan's actions as a gesture of goodwill, and at the meeting that afternoon, he took the initiative to give Annan three streets that could make money.

However, Annan declined the overture and volunteered to switch to the three most chaotic streets with the highest crime rates.

Without crime, where does the merit come from?

The matter of Baron Ebert has been settled, and he is destined not to see the sun tomorrow. If he colluded with the Free Blade, not to mention the baron, even the earl would be skinned alive.

Annan, who personally participated in the capture of Freeblade and the punishment of Baron Ebert, became well-known among the city guards and was gaining popularity.

In the evening, when Annan was about to go to Sheafield to deal with his belongings and then patrol the area, a fellow city guard officer came over.

"what's up?"

"Sheriff Milburn is going to host a celebration party in your honor."

"No time."

Annan continued walking forward. He didn't intend to get too close to Sheriff Milburn... He wouldn't have the heart to kill him if they got to know each other well.

"But many unmarried ladies have heard about your heroic deeds and know that you are young and handsome, so they will come to participate..."

Annan stopped.

"When?"
