Alien world

Chapter 1030 261. The third meeting

The young king looked at the excited officials and suddenly felt a sense of fatigue.

It's not the usual tiredness, but the tiredness of watching boring people discussing boring things.

He picked a minister he was most familiar with in the past: "Flocken, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the Free Blades of the New Capital dare not show up. Why not let Junior Judge Olme go to the south to resist the foreign enemies?"

"Got it. Let me think about it."

Clo waved his hand to let the noisy ministers retreat, and said to the guards: "Call the chairman of the council and Renato."

Soon, the Minister of War and the President of the Senate arrived at the palace. Upon learning that they were discussing Olmey, Renato bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my nephew has caused you trouble."

"He is doing this for the kingdom, it's no trouble..." Cloe acted very generous, yawned and asked the Speaker of the House: "Mr. Irwin, what do you think?"

"I can smell their fear." The tall councillor smiled and said, "Reinaldo, your nephew did a good job."

"You flatter me……"

The head councillor said sternly: "Your Majesty, the kingdom's enemies are never outside."

"Not outside?"

The king, sitting up slightly, showed his interest in the subject.

"Free City is just a small territory. The threat it poses to us is like the threat that kobolds pose to dragons. They can't do anything to us, and can only slowly erode the places that are ravaged by the nobles."

"The kingdom's enemies are within, in the new capital. Young Master Olme just stirred up the trouble, and they all came out."

Renato tilted his head slightly. Why did the president's words sound so much like what Annan would say?
"So you support Master Olme?"

"We need people like this." The Speaker of Parliament gave a remarkable evaluation.

If Master Olme was really his nephew, he would be very happy, Renato thought.

A trace of jealousy flashed through Cloe's mind, and he felt that the chairman's evaluation was too high: "He only arrested a few nobles, and it seems that there is also a royal family member..."

"But no one has done anything like this." The chairman of the council said, "When I came, the Freeblades didn't dare to show up, and the nobles didn't dare to run rampant in the streets. It was as if they were returning to the order of the previous king."

"Father……"

Cloe expressed his nostalgia, no longer jealous of Master Olme who was highly praised by the Councillor: "Should we give him another promotion?"

"Your Majesty, Master Olme is just a butcher knife. It is enough to let him be in charge of the Purification Court."

"But I still think the Freeblade outside is more hateful..."

The head of the parliament did not refute the young king, but just followed his words and said, "Then why doesn't your majesty summon Master Olmey and ask for his opinion?"

"Well... that's fine, but only after I get some sleep."

……

"You said the Councillor spoke for me?"

After listening to Renato's story, Annan was a little bit unbelievable.

Love the house and love the dog? But he is the second-highest councillor in the kingdom, a legendary wizard, how could he have such "simple" feelings.

“He was just thinking in terms of the kingdom.”

The appearance of Annan is like a shark rushing into a bay. The fish and turtles that originally controlled the bay drove the foreign fish out of the bay and ate up all the seaweed, fish and shrimp. Soon there will be only a desolate place left. The shark rushed around in the bay, biting many fish and turtles to death, making room for a new place in the bay.

Both the vested interests and the non-interested will support it, except for the fish that were bitten to death. "What should I pay attention to?"

"Play the role of a young man who only wants to destroy Freeblade."

The king is not scary. He is controlled by the rat people, is severely sleepy, and does not have much energy to think about problems. The really scary person is the chairman of the parliament.

His optimism about Annan only proves one thing: he did not regard Annan as an enemy.

And assuming that the Senate President is corrupted by the Skaven and he can influence Clo, what will he do to this young talent who is touted as the "second Senate President"?
The answer is to corrupt Annan as well.

So Renato warned Annan not to be alone with the Speaker, or even better, not to be with him at all.

The only one who could fight the legendary wizard at close range was the legendary warrior. In front of him, all of Annan's amulets were useless, and he couldn't even crush the crystal in time.

"I'll pay attention."

Annan wanted to wear the crystal as an earring or a ring on his ear or finger, but the chairman of the parliament might recognize it, so he wore it around his neck. When he encountered a problem, he fell and tried to break it.

But he didn't expect that Clo's "sleep" was actually sixteen hours.

The next day, the palace guards came to the Purification Court to inform Annan.

Annan was wearing an apron and gloves, cleaning the Iron Girl's cell with a broom and mop.

The iron girl didn’t eat a single bite of the apple pie from the day before, and it was about to go bad, so Annan gave it to Martin.

The reason why Annan was able to walk around in the cell was not because Annan moved the Iron Girl, but because her action of hanging the crystal on her body made the Iron Girl dare not spread bad luck easily - it would be fine if the crystal didn't break, but if it broke, the unlucky one would be Louise herself.

Annan stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Maria, "Prepare the bed first, I'll do it when I come back."

Maria glanced at the Iron Girl and wondered if Annan would let her go after all...

After using the cleansing technique to make himself look brand new, Annan took off his wizard robe and went to the military minister's residence wearing only his uniform to meet Renato, and then went to the palace together.

Clo looked as if he had not yet woken up, and the president of the parliament stood beside the throne, looking like a regent.

"Your Majesty, we meet again."

Annan just found it interesting to think that he had met with him twice without Clo's knowledge.

"Master Olme, you have done a great job. The officials are praising you and want you to preside over the war in the south."

Kroklo made a long sound, and Annan had already prepared his speech: "I will not feel at ease until the Free Blade of the New Capital is eliminated."

How could he, the lord of Liberty City, become the front line in the resistance against the Freedom Blade?
Letting Annan go out would no longer mean “stop them for me” but “follow me”.

"So you also want to stay in the new capital?"

"Only when I'm in the new capital will they be afraid and dare not collude with the Free Blade." Annan smiled confidently.

Cloe followed with a smile: "Mr. Councillor, Mr. Olme's statement is the same as yours."

The head councillor who was looking at Annan nodded: "Any smart person can see this."

"So my ministers are stupid?"

"They are just as smart, but they have to be stupid." The chairman of the parliament said meaningfully.

Clo looked at Annan and said, "Master Olme... I can't give you more rewards. But I can give you power. In the new capital, you only need to listen to me, the chairman of the council, and your uncle."

Annan expressed his submission: "I will drive out all the Free Blades without leaving a single one alive!"
