Alien world

Chapter 120 119. "The True Murderer"

Looking back at the experience after arriving in Breeze City, Annan did not do nothing.

He knows very little about the world, so he makes friends everywhere and reads books to increase his knowledge;

Because I need to know the nobles, I hold a banquet and invite them;
I don't know who is the enemy, so I have to contact the people around me, get acquainted with them, and become friends;
Now, Annan has joined the scavenger, and the bond with this world continues to deepen;

Moreover, Annan's reputation in the eyes of the residents of Breeze City is surprisingly good—he didn't hold extravagant and promiscuous gatherings like other nobles, he didn't oppress and enslave civilians, and he wasn't as dull as the old-fashioned nobles. He actively brought people interesting things after dinner— —For example, the King of the North, like the warlocks in all the stories, has a hobby for aliens.

And I do not know when, rumors began to circulate in the city that Annan was the nemesis of banquets: the first banquet he attended frightened away the guests because of announcing his identity, the second private banquet in the manor broke up because of uninvited guests, and the third banquet because of Refusing contact can only invite a group of friends goblins or even civilians.The fourth banquet was almost a success - and then brought in by the scavenger to investigate.

Now the people of Breeze are saying that they can be invited to the fifth feast - they will not disturb, and will drive away the enemies who prevent the banquet from continuing.

Annan guessed that these were all made up by people around him, and the rumors were biased - the third banquet was clearly the banquet at the Santo's Mansion, and that banquet ended quite smoothly, and he even got to know the countess.

anyway.Annan and the four-person team all completed each other's tasks:
The four-person team discovered the Ratmen clan, rescued two survivors, and managed to hold on until help arrived.

Annan didn't just sit back and watch the four-person team die, he appeared upright to face the rat tide with them.

"I originally wanted to hand over this territory to you."

A crow mask came to the side and said.Annan turned his head to look at him and recognized Olmedo.

"You are the leader of Breeze City during the day, and the hero who saves the world at night, and your parents are still alive?"

"My mother died when I was young."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. Actually, I haven't participated in several incidents, but just like you, I need to know what happened here."

A scavenger waves to Olmedo, who ends his small talk and walks over to his companions.

The scavengers cleaned up the village after the flames were extinguished, but found no more survivors. The woman and child were the only ones who survived.

They are the key to knowing the truth, because they suffered a slight corruption, the centurion first took them back to the scavenger headquarters for purification.

After scavenging the village, the scavengers set up camp next to the ruins—they needed to burn the bodies and dispose of the polluted water and wheat fields.

Annan and the others returned to the Scavenger headquarters through the portal built by the camp.

When undergoing a pollution test, Annan approached Riddell Gero to ask about the origin of the firecrackers.The answer was predictable: the South.

But the "fire gun" does not have the black powder that Annan imagined.It is powered by magic spar, fires arcane missiles, and is just a well-crafted magic weapon rather than a firearm.

Annan's gift bag for visitors from another world is still there.

After telling the four-person team the address of the manor and inviting them to visit them in their spare time, Annan left the headquarters.

"This newcomer seems to be a nobleman? That fire elemental ring costs at least [-] gold coins..." Riddle Gero said enviously.

"Don't you know?" Guido Rona pointed to his brown hair, "He is the King of the North."

……

It was already dawn when we returned to the manor.

Abby's brother was chasing the ogre across the grass—

The ogre couldn't live in the mansion, so after obtaining Annan's consent, it used the ready-made wood in the manor to build an ogre hut at the back, and built an orc hut for the howler next to it.

Abby stood by, worriedly watching the ferocious ogre playing with his brother and playing with food.

Annan walked towards Abby and asked her, "You said yesterday that you told me something important?"

"I...I want to thank you for helping me and my brother."

Abby didn't want to say that Annan didn't ask, just as Francois came and met Francois who was stepping off the carriage holding an oil painting.

"This is the violin you want."

Annan looked at Francois strangely: "This is a painting."

"Uh...there's no Newtrude in Breeze."

Annan's eyes fell on the oil painting, and he accidentally found that the stringless instrument on the painting was very similar to the qin stepped on in the big house in the village.

"Are there few such pianos?"

"It is said to be an instrument of southern tribes."

Why did the southern tribal musical instruments appear on the farm occupied by the ratmen?

Annan vaguely caught some information and raised his head.

"I'm going to Scavenger HQ."

……

Under the leadership of the centurion, Annan and Francois entered the third floor of the Scavenger headquarters, and saw the instigator of the piano sound in the dungeon—a prisoner leaning against a corner and wearing a dirty fancy dress.

"Who is he?"

"A bard who devotes himself to chaos. He believes that human aesthetics is close to the limit, and only chaos can have infinite beauty." The centurion beside him said, "We can't pry his mouth open."

Neither can Annan.No matter what he said, the figure did not respond, as if he had died.

But Annan got an unexpected surprise from the rescued mother and daughter.

The woman who woke up said that a few days before the Ratmen invaded, a distinguished old man with blue eyes came to the lord.

The image of Augusta Olmedo instantly appeared before Annan's eyes.

On the way out, Annan fell into deep thought.

If it was Augusta Olmedo who was in charge... what was his purpose?In order to let his son become the city lord, even colluded with the Ratman?

"What is the scavenger going to do?" Annan asked the centurion.

"Continue to look for evidence that Augusta has an affair with Chaos."

"Isn't that counted?"

"Not yet. She could be a false accusation, or what she saw was a disguise, or it could be a hallucination. We need real evidence."

Just saying "see him go" can't overthrow the uncrowned king of Breeze City.

"But I worry about Jeffrey Olmedo finding out."

Olmedo is also a scavenger. Can he maintain justice when he knows his father is on the opposite side?

The centurion said meaningfully:
"We haven't been here, and the survivors haven't said anything, have they?"

……

Annan returned to the manor and re-examined the situation in Breeze City.At this time, he accidentally discovered a vortex appeared in Breeze City, quietly devouring his sense of existence.

People in Breeze City no longer talked about Annan after dinner, and bard bards no longer talked about the avengers who crawled out of hell, but the gossip about a few minor nobles.

Annan went to ask Andrew Luna, and he said it was indeed abnormal.

Generally speaking, this kind of drama is enough for the people of Breeze City to talk about for a few years, but now, the influence of the King of the North is rapidly disappearing——

Annan didn't know why "Augusta Olmedo" did this, but he remembered Fast's warning:

"The more they don't want you to do something, the more you do it."
