Alien world

Chapter 1045 Chapter 276. Showdown
Annan and Kyle fell silent at the same time.

"Bat brother, there's something wrong with your spell."

"Never heard of it..." Kyle murmured, his eyes gradually changing: "Never heard that the head of the Purification Court turned out to be the Free Blade..."

"This is just a misunderstanding. I've been studying the self-cultivation of actors recently, and I think that in order to catch Freeblade, you must first know what Freeblade is thinking. So I imagine myself as Freeblade—"

Before he could finish his words, the spell emitted a shrill beep.

Annan was silent. It seemed that he had to make a choice between killing and silencing the witness...

The little bat said with a playful tone, as if teasing a mouse: "How do you think the king would react when he knew that his loyal head of the Purification Court was actually the Freeblade?"

"Okay, I'm going to tell you my truth. I'm Annan."

"If you are Annan, then I am--" As Kyle was speaking, he realized that the spell did not explode this time... and stared at Annan strangely.

Annan removed his disguise and greeted helplessly: "Long time no see, little bat."

The name brought back Kyle's distant memories.

What embarrassed him was that the memory was actually kind of damn good!

Kyle gritted his teeth: "Why are you here?"

"It's different from you anyway."

Kyle is not stupid - no one believes that a legend, especially a legendary wizard, would be stupid. He thought about it for a moment and understood Annan's intention.

"Do you think you can force me to go to Liberty City by pretending to be from the Kingdom and constantly causing trouble for me?"

"I know that Little Bat is a timid... cautious person, but it is not wise for you to run to the new king at this time. I am helping you."

Kyle said sarcastically: "The Grand Duke hired me. He and I have a much deeper relationship than you do."

Having said that, the little bat still put away his hostility towards Annan.

"That's because he called you to die."

Kyle didn't comment. He knew he was here to do the dirty work. "Do you think you can win? Will the Empire help you?"

"I don't know, but they will help."

Annan slightly revealed his trump card: a crystal.

Kyle was well-informed, his pupils shrank slightly: "Warlock Protection Association...how did you get involved with them?"

"I'm a warlock. Doesn't it make sense for me to be protected by the Warlock Protection Society?"

Kyle didn't want to discuss the Warlock Protection Association too much and was very secretive about it.

"Okay, I can pretend nothing happened tonight, but please don't bother me again." Kyle looked like he was reminiscing about their old relationship.

But Annan didn't want to let him go: "Are you sure you want to stand on the side of the kingdom? Have you forgotten how Teacher Meier died?"

Kyle was silent for a moment: "We signed a contract."

"The contract doesn't require you to fight to the death for the kingdom, right? You just need to flap your bat wings a little and make an excuse to leave the new capital..."

"I'm not a bat!"

"Just an example. May I ask how much the Archduke spent?"

"I won't be in business where I'm both an employer and a target." Kyle still has his ethics.

"I'm just asking, to find out the going price."

"It won't be cheaper than your floating city."

"250 million Kinnars?!"

"I'm talking about an arcane core."

It's not that expensive, but it's not cheap either... Doesn't that mean that if Annan has a legendary wizard, he can earn one arcane energy core a year. Two legendary wizards, two. Three legendary wizards, three. Five legendary wizards, one medium-sized arcane energy core...

Kyle seemed to know what Annan was thinking and said that this was due to special circumstances and there weren't usually so many.

"The Grand Duke has so much money?"

"Don't underestimate the wealth of an ancient noble."

"How dare they spend my money recklessly..." Annan gritted his teeth.

Kyle couldn't help but observe Annan, but he didn't find any trace of dragon veins...

"Where's the money?"

Kyle became alert: "What are you going to do?" "Just reminding you, don't let the Grand Duke take advantage of you without paying."

"You'd better mind your own business." Kyle sneered, "Two countries are at war, and a king runs to the enemy's capital?"

"I was here to cause trouble."

"No difference."

Kyle looked at the night sky and said, "I've been out for too long. I should go back."

"Look at yourself. You don't look like a legend at all."

Just like a hunting dog that is allowed to roam free... But this is too harsh to say, and Annan is afraid of hurting Kyle's self-esteem.

"If I had the appearance of a legend, I would kill you first for repeatedly offending my dignity."

You know what, Agarwal is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"You won't do that." Annan said confidently.

Kyle certainly wouldn't. Apart from his relationship with Mel, he already had a good impression of Annan. However, Annan's confidence still made him mock him: "Why? Just because of the New Year's gift you gave me, a piece of apple pie?"

"what about the taste?"

Kyle stopped talking, walked to the window and opened it.

The cold wind rushed into the room, and Kyle's cloak fluttered. Annan couldn't help but say, "I have a good relationship with the Land of Eternal Night. If you want to be a vampire..."

"I said I'm not a bat!"

Kyle floated in the night of the new capital.

There are many troubles when dealing with Annan, but there are also many ways out.

Kyle had seen Annan's experience in the past two years. It was not a good choice to offend a rising star lord who had a good relationship with him. So he had to strike a balance, a balance that stood in the middle before the result was revealed.

This is the mercenary way of life.

Although this may reduce the merit, it is safer.

"Kyle, you're back, how's the result?"

Returning to the manor, Kyle came to the Grand Duke's study.

"That ant won't listen to any advice." Kyle made a gloomy expression.

Grand Duke Barbatod couldn't help but sigh: "What a good dog loyal to the kingdom, but it's a pity that he targeted you."

"Nothing, he can't do anything to me."

"I'm sorry to have wronged you... Eh? Mr. Kyle, where's your black cloak?
"Throw it away."

……

What happened that night did not make Annan restrain himself. He continued to show his tit-for-tat attitude, but this time it was for outsiders to see.

Many people saw what Annan did, including the royal palace.

In the palace, the chief councilor stood beside the throne, and the young king took a nap leaning on the armrest.

"Your Majesty, I think I can trust him and let him investigate the matter."

"That thing..." Cloe opened his eyes and recalled what the Councillor said.

"Princess Sayles was left behind in the old capital."

There was a gleam of sharpness in Kro's eyes, but then it was replaced by fatigue.

"Is it important?"

The Councillor said: "I suspect the ratmen are planning a new conspiracy. They may even join forces with Free City to divide the kingdom. We must be on guard."

Chloe didn't respond, only a slight snoring sound was heard.

The chairman of the senator stopped talking, and his tall and upright figure stood quietly in the quiet palace.

I don’t know how much time passed before the snoring stopped.

"Your Majesty, you are tired."

"Yeah... I'm going to take a nap. I'll leave the affairs of the kingdom to you..."
