Alien world

Chapter 1083 5. The Way Home

The old land of violet, Count Urmit... now the lord is looking at the free city that he left not long ago.

"Why do I always feel that..." When he stopped in front of his floating castle in Liberty City, he couldn't wait to get on it.

"Your floating city has grown bigger?"

The brand new streets and the undulating exquisite buildings compared to his floating city were like an elegant and beautiful princess standing next to the dark and thin natives.

"It's not an illusion, I bought another arcane energy core." Annan boasted like Leila who had caught a big fish.

“That’s great…” Lord Urmit’s face was filled with envy, and what he said made someone sneeze: “Where are you going to fight Rekanel again?”

"Go home and see."

Lord Urmit remembered that Annan was from Breeze City.

The Free City temporarily rested in the old map, where Annan was warmly received, and Lord Urmit also wanted to regain the old territory.

Annan couldn't help. The Violet Land was different from the Kingdom. It was a wasteland with no population or resources. It couldn't handle the ratmen that kept growing out of the ground.

If it weren't for the floating castle, Lord Urmit would have had no choice but to flee to Middle-earth.

But he firmly said that he could wait. Three years ago, Annan was just the mayor of a small town with high walls. Three years later, he already had a huge floating city and hundreds of thousands of people. Lord Urmit was optimistic about Annan's future.

After a short rest for one night, the next day, Liberty City left the old land of Violet and rushed to the new capital.

The most intuitive feeling of Liberty City being bigger is that when you look into the distance, it is no longer as if you will fall into the clouds after a few steps, and the light clouds are now heavier.

When she had nothing to do, Idyllia liked to take the princess to sit under the Other World Tree in the garden and overlook the clouds in the distance.

Sometimes Lily and sometimes Cathy would accompany them, and she would move a small chair and sit beside them.

Lily and Cathy also react differently to Annan's appearance: Lily will come running with a bumpy meow, while Cathy will deliberately climb up the tree in the other world to lure Annan into catching her.

Cathy was grabbed once more, and she clung to Annan's head like a facehugger.

"Isn't today Friday? Why didn't you go to class?" Annan remembered something.

Cathy froze and climbed off Annan: "I don't like... having to memorize those difficult things... what's the point of learning it!"

Annan squatted in front of her and said patiently: "Aren't you going to be the future city lord? How can you do it if you don't know anything?"

"Why not? Aren't you the same?"

Annan stood up expressionlessly: "I'll go talk to Miss Sister."

"Aunt Idilia~" Cathy screamed and went to her eldest sister for help.

"Annan is right." Idyllia smiled and said to Cathy who raised her head from her arms, "You are also right."

"Hehe..." Cathy rubbed against her elder sister's arms.

Annan could only helplessly raise his head and observe the growth of the tree in the other world.

After several months of watering and fertilizing, the Otherworld Tree has grown hundreds of leaves, but they are still a little small. If it grows for a while, I should be able to pick the leaves for experiments.

And the princess under the tree... was still in a dazed state.

The Skeleton King couldn't do anything, so Annan could only continue to support her and hope for a miracle.

Idilia still stood on Annan's side. She was very good at coaxing children, and she could get them to go back to school obediently with just a few words.

As for whether something else would draw attention away on the road...

Watching Cathy leave the garden, Idilia's gaze returned to Annan.

"Annan, you are an adult now, if you like someone..."

"I remember that I haven't fed Lily yet..."

There was no "Annan trap" in the garden, and Annan escaped successfully.

When he entered the City Lord's Mansion, a cloud of mist floated into Liberty City.

Children excitedly ran around the street, catching the invisible mist.

Soon after, the Liberty City emerged from the clouds, as if covered with dewdrops, glittering in the sun. "It's so beautiful..."

Baal raised the Philosopher's Stone and wanted to capture the beautiful trajectory of Liberty City as it emerged from the clouds.

Evelyn reached out and held it down.

"what happened?"

Evelyn, who was in charge of Bal, taught him, "You have to remember who the newspaper's audience is. They are a group of bored, curious, and novel readers. You show them the scenery?"

Bal suddenly realized and thought that he was worthy of being the president of "Voice of Freedom".

The war was over and many things were on the agenda, including Barr's entertainment newspaper.

Evelyn took Bal around to investigate what people were most interested in.

The things that people are interested in in the tavern are diverse, including women, good wine, and gossip.

The workers are interested in good jobs, the women are interested in Annan, and the guests are interested in everything.

In the evening, Evelyn and Bal returned to the Voice of Freedom newspaper after a walk.

Evelin checked, “After a day of shopping, what do you think?”

"People are interested in women, pleasure, Annan, and gossip?" Bal lowered his posture very much. After all, he had lost to Evelyn many times, and he was convinced.

"Wrong, you have to put it all together, any news that has an entertaining element."

Evelyn was smaller than Annan, but her posture at this moment was like a mountain that Bal needed to look up to.

"They don't care about the truth, they only care about whether the news can please themselves."

Barr seemed to understand: "How can I turn this into news that people are interested in?"

Evelyn decided to demonstrate it herself and took Bal to Annan's study in the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan, who was playing with Lily, gave him a questioning look.

"Don't worry about us."

"Oh……"

Annan thought it was just another interview or something like collecting materials, so he let Evelyn stay there.

Annan continued to stroke Lily. In order to make himself look serious, he called the maid Abby and said, "Send Olmedo over."

At this time, a whisper came from the corner: "Look, now we can make up a gossip "Late at night, Annan, the Lord of Liberty City, asked a young girl to come to his room..."

...?
“Isn’t this fake news?” Barr muttered.

"This is just news from an unknown source that cannot be verified. It is no different from what is spread in the tavern."

"Oh~"

"Wait a minute..." Annan called out to Abby, "It's so late, don't disturb her."

"We can use "Late at night, Annan Reeves rejects a young girl's visit..." as the title here." There were more discussions coming from the corner.

Annan couldn't ignore it anymore and looked at Evelin: "What do you want to do?"

Evelyn was excited: "Late at night, the champion warlock Annan asked the young girl if she wanted it!"

"I think I understand... I need to think about it." Baal pondered.

"Then go back and rest." Annan urged.

"Okay... Miss Evelyn, Lord Annan, see you tomorrow."

Bal walked out of the study, and Annan said helplessly: "Bal has been led astray by you."

"How can you say that? I just gave him some inspiration!" Evelin sat down on the sofa and relaxed. "Thank me, you will have a second good president."
