Alien world

Chapter 1039 Chapter 270. Goodbye Little Bat

The mystery of Princess Sayles's murder was just an episode, and Annan gave it to Terry to investigate without alerting anyone.

His attention continued to be on Kelberos.

There are five legends that the kingdom has made public: the traitor Agarwal, the head of the parliament Irwin, Elwe who raided Liberty City and resulted in one death and one injury, McKnight, the leader of the Dragonheart Knights, and Mirajivista, the chief mage of the Royal Mage Corps.

Originally, there were more legends than this generation, but not all legends agreed with the Kingdom's actions. They either left or were killed, such as the 8th Holy Grail Knight Mel and the 15th Holy Grail Knight Perkins.

Including Kelberos, there are six of them in total, and the only one willing to join the war from Liberty City is the Skeleton King Leonefa.

The ancestor might lend a helping hand when Liberty City is in crisis, but she can't take the initiative to help Annan.

So having one more legendary wizard can determine the outcome of the battle to some extent. As long as he doesn't help either of them, Annan still has a big advantage. If he stands on Annan's side, and he announces joining the Free City today, Annan can directly announce a general attack tomorrow without waiting for the Free Blade.

However, the letter sent by Annan seemed to have fallen into the sea and received no response.

Annan wasn't sure if the letter didn't make it into the little bat's hands, or if he got it but didn't care.

Maybe he doesn't believe the contents of the letter?

Given how important the little bat is, it's worth taking another risk.

Just in case, Annan plans to go there in person this time.

It’s not like he could expose the Little Bat as Free Blade right on the spot... Wait, that doesn’t seem to be impossible?
The main thing is that no matter what attitude Little Bat has, he can get away with it: if Little Bat still has feelings for him, he can try to persuade him to defect. If Little Bat still has feelings for him but for Grand Duke Barbatod, he can say that the letter was found in the hands of Free Blade, so why do you have contact with Annan?

It would not be easy to frame the little bat at that time, but it would still be possible to throw dirty water on him so that the royal family and Grand Duke Barbatode would not trust him.

Annan did not bring Maria, but only took two men from the Purification Court to the manor of Grand Duke Barbatod.

Upon learning that Young Olme was visiting, Grand Duke Barbatod felt inexplicably uneasy. After all, the nobles targeted by him had no good ending. However, his status was not comparable to those of the small nobles. He quickly came to his senses and greeted Annan with the attitude of an elder: "Isn't this our nephew Young Olme? How did you find time to come to my place--"

Annan smiled harmlessly and said, "I'm here to deliver a letter."

"Delivering a letter? Did your uncle ask you to come? Don't worry, we have just arranged a wonderful performance. What do you think?"

"Wonderful?"

Annan was no longer in a hurry. Curious about what kind of performance could make the Grand Duke exclaim “wonderful”, he followed the Grand Duke to the drama hall.

Magical images are a taboo in the kingdom. Although Grand Duke Barbatod does not have to abide by it, he still has to set an example himself - at least he cannot watch them openly.

Annan and the Grand Duke sat in the front row. Not long after, an actor dressed as a bard came to the stage with a beautiful voice: "The night is dark, and the light of justice is dawning~ Oh, that knight, who hates evil~"

Annan recognized him: Faru Barros, King in the North, mascot….

He is actually still alive.

While feeling happy, Annan suddenly felt a little sad.

The twelve kings who once guarded the northern border fell apart, some died, some fled, and some were kept as pets by the royal family.

If he had not escaped to Middle-earth, or if his fate was similar to his, he would have become a noble... mainly a plaything for noble ladies.

"Mr. Olme!"

The high-pitched singing voice brought Annan back to his senses.

"He is the embodiment of justice, hope in the darkness, the blade that swears to catch freedom, and evil has nowhere to escape~~"

"How is it?" The Grand Duke asked Annan with an approving look.

“I appreciate that.”

Annan looked at Faro Barros standing on the stage and said, "You are very talented. Do you want to work with me?"

Grand Duke Barbatod showed his displeasure and forced a smile: "Nephew Olme, are you going to snatch your uncle's treasure just after you arrive?" "No intention to offend the Grand Duke, it's just that this actor is so shameless that he is a natural soldier of the Purification Court."

"Faroo is not an ordinary man, he is the King of the North."

"It turned out to be him." Annan pretended to be amazed.

Faru Barros was not ashamed, but rather flattering: "Thank you, Master Olme for your love..."

Grand Duke Barbatode looked distressed: "But since Junior Judge Olme likes him so much, how about I give him to you?"

"Am I...suitable?"

"Why not? In my hands, he can only perform to amuse everyone, but in your hands, maybe you can grab the Free Blade. Hahaha... This is more interesting than watching his performance."

The Grand Duke of the Kingdom was so understanding, so Annan had to lower his attitude: "Then I will accept your gift. No wonder my uncle always says you are generous."

"Really? Hahahaha—"

After chatting with the Grand Duke for a while, Annan returned to the topic: "Is Master Kelberos here?"

"What do you want from him?" the Duke asked puzzledly.

"It is to him that my letter is addressed."

"He's in the tower... I'll have someone call him over."

Grand Duke Barbatod was puzzled as to how Young Master Olme was connected to Kyle, and when Kyle showed up, he acted as if he didn't know Young Master Olme.

"This is a letter for you." Annan held out his hand.

The invisible wizard's hand took the letter back to Kyle and opened it. Kyle glanced at the contents and his gloomy eyes suddenly fell on Annan: "Have you read it?"

"I……"

The lie detection instantly fell on Annan.

He had to change his words and looked at Kyle calmly: "I have seen it, so I want to know your attitude."

"You are not worthy enough to ask me this? Get out!"

The terrifying air wave instantly blew Annan away and crashed sideways into a row of seats.

Annan felt a tightness in his chest, and he got up in a panic, turned around and walked away without saying anything.

"This... Kyle, Master Olme is just a messenger, why do you want to offend him..."

"The President of the Purification Court? No wonder..." Kyle sneered.

He was a legendary wizard, so how could he ignore Young Master Olme? But Grand Duke Barbatod, who didn't like to offend anyone, couldn't do that, so he quickly called the dumbfounded Faru Barros to chase after him.

On the other side, Annan had just walked out of the door when his men saw how miserable he was and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

"I just fought with Kelberos."

Annan touched the crystal on his waist, fortunately, the crystal was not broken.

He said to his stunned men, "It's done, let's go back."

As they drove out of the door, the subordinate looked back and suddenly said, "Sir, someone is chasing us."

For a moment Annan thought that Kelberos had caught up with him, but when he turned around he saw that it was Faru Barros.

"Take him with you," Annan said.

Anyway, the letter was successfully delivered to Kelberos. His attitude towards the Purification Court is so bad, maybe it means something?
