Alien world

Chapter 113 112. "Spies"

Annan wanted to scold, "Your father used a scroll to make me forget the damage he caused me?", but Omledo Ray could easily clean up an elite mercenary squad composed of Fast.

Silently putting an unfinished book on the table on the dragon skin scroll, Annan said, "What about Martin?"

Annan added an item of chaining Martin to the basement to the "things to do after coming out" planned in the dungeon.

Olmedo pursed his lips slightly after seeing Annan's small movements: "You can bring him back anytime, and no one will stop you."

An Nanxin said that no one stopped him, but Martin always ran out...

Regardless, acceptance of the scroll represents a reconciliation between Annan and Augusta Olmedo.

Reconcile temporarily.

"Let's rest first, I'm going back to the City Lord's Mansion to continue my business."

Olmedo left his seat, and Francois, who had just picked up his coffee, also stood up.

Annan was resting well in the dungeon, but he did need to attend to some personal matters.Asking Abby outside the door to send them away, Annan began to deal with the letters brought by Firecrow.

These letters were taken down by the maid, and Firecrow flew back to Osulonde, bringing new letters, four in total.

The first and second letters are just normal day-to-day chores.But at that time, I was still in the dungeon and couldn't reply, so the third letter turned into asking where Annan had gone, and the fourth letter turned into worry and uneasiness.

At this time, Firecrow appeared outside the window with the fifth letter.

【Eldest sister locked herself in the room, I could hear her sobbing when I lay down behind the door... Hurry up and write back, I will never talk about you again...】

These letters made Annan's joy of getting out of trouble gradually quiet, tending to sadness.

The eyes of the fire crow reflected Annan lying in front of the desk and writing a reply:

[Dear sisters:
I'm fine.The Ratmen attacked Breeze City a few days ago, and I might be their target, so the connection between the manor and the outside world was closed.It's all right now.Sorry to make you worry.

My friends say that there are more and more ratmen in the north. How is the situation in Ossulondland?
Don't worry about me anymore, I have many friends here. 】

Annan dried the letter paper, folded it and stuffed it into the letter box on the Fire Crow's claw, opened the window, and watched the Fire Crow turn into a dazzling fire arrow in the sun and disappear into the blue sky.

Then it was ready to pick Martin back.

Annan asked Abby to prepare the carriage, teased the little spider with his finger through the glass bottle for a while, and went downstairs to set off.

……

The standing ancient manor wakes up with the arrival of the carriage.

Because the conflict with the Olmedo family was resolved, Annan was not blocked from coming this time, but when he came to the restaurant to take him back, he was rejected by Martin.

Martin, who was carrying back the jeweled rapier, put on the ill-fitting aristocratic dress and declared to Annan: "I am not your puppet!"

"Who taught you to say that?"

Puppet was a complicated word, and it didn't seem like something Martin would say.

"It says in the book."

"Which book?"

"The books we love and hate..."

Martin could not read.

It was the servant who answered Annan's doubts in a low voice: "Master Martin has been listening to "The Little King" recently, and this is a sentence in it."

Annan ignored Martin's hostility and sat on the sofa opposite him.

"Do you know what I've been through these days?" Annan tried to infect Martin with emotion, which is his weakness: "I was locked in a dungeon by Olmedo."

Against the straightforward, simple, straightforward... Martin, this would work well.

"Who is Olmedo!?"

But Annan couldn't say what happened next.He turned his head to look at the servant: "You haven't let him know Augusta Olmedo for so long?"

"Master Martin knows about Master Augusta, but he hasn't remembered his last name yet..."

Annan had no choice but to say: "Olmedo is Augusta."

"Who is Augusta!?"

"Didn't you say he remembered?"

"I did remember it in the morning..."

Annan had to skip this part of the content and focus on the dangers he encountered in the dungeon—the violent orc, the man-eating ogre, and the assassination by a psyker.

"He killed you?!"

"...Yes, I'm dead."

"No! No!!!" Martin wailed, "Cousin, I will avenge you!"

Annan couldn't understand Martin's logic, so he said, "If you don't come back with me, I'll let Mr. Fast come and take you away. If Mr. Fast can't take you away, I'll let Aunt Susan come over." .”

"Do not!!!"

But Martin seems to be still silent in the pain of Annan's death and rushes towards Annan as the murderer who killed Annan——

The frightened servant tried to pull away but couldn't, and ran out in a panic.

Before Annan could react, he found a note stuffed in his hand, with a line written crookedly on it: "I am a spy."

Seeing Annan read the note, Martin squeezed his eyes on purpose, and shouted while pushing and shoving: "Get this man out!"

"Master Annan..."

Annan, who staggered back, was supported by a servant, and looked at Martin strangely, feeling relieved and dazed: "I will leave, but I hope the Olmedo family will protect my brother."

As for why the servant stuffed himself with a note after he went out... just pretend that someone is watching here.

Annan left the Olmedo family manor and returned to the carriage, as if he had experienced a bizarre dream.

Is Martin really just simply unpredictable, or is he hiding his wisdom in madness?
Forget it, leave these problems to Augusta Olmedo.

Annan and Della returned to the manor, and around noon, Firecrow landed in the manor with a reply letter.

[Asshole brother accepts:

Is our King of the North willing to take care of his family?The eldest sister is also worried that someone is pretending to be you. I said such an ugly word, no one would write it like that except you!
There were also some rats infested the territory. Filo took the guards to clean up the Ratmen all day long. I thought it was just a group of Ratmen wandering into the territory. Did the whole northern border be invaded by Ratmen?
Some farmlands have indeed been destroyed, food production may be reduced, and this winter is not very easy... But you don't need to worry about family affairs, you know!Just like what my sister said...that sentence...

The following is what my sister said.

Your existence is better than all treasures! 】

"Abby."

Annan called the maid: "Has the price of food in the city increased?"

"It's up about a fifth," said Abby, who just bought some wheat flour yesterday.

"Is this normal?"

"The Ratmen's attack has caused some merchants to hoard food..."

Speaking of merchants, Annan thought that the 5000 gold coin IOU had not been exchanged, so he called Francois and entrusted him to collect the debt and free the slaves.

By the way, buy 1000 gold coins of wheat flour and potatoes and send them to the Reeves family.

Francois looked like he was about to say something.

"What's wrong?" Annan asked him.

"You are not from the Reeves family, why do you still do this?"

"because……"

Annan thought of the emotion in the letter. They were concerned about their younger brother, but they actually cared about Annan.

"I don't want them to be hurt."
