Alien world

Chapter 1225 147. Cat and Mouse
Annan returned to the city lord's mansion, deep in thought, and did not notice that Gale looked sad and even stopped wagging his tail.

Itilia went to the school to inspect, and Annan found Olmedo in the office and told her about the contact process.

"It seems that the ratman elder still has a limited understanding of you." Olmedo said, actually thinking of threatening Annan and handing him the handle...

Annan was not afraid of being accused of colluding with the ratmen, but Stuhn might be worried that the stigma of colluding with humans would be thrown on him...

"What can we offer that will interest Stuen Rat?" Annan was still thinking.

"No matter what they want, their core desire to corrupt Liberty City will not change."

"That's right, so we have to give them some foot skin."

"What foot skin?"

"Those are things that are actually in us, but are useless."

"It seems that you and the rat people are enjoying this cat and mouse game." Olmedo said casually.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a flash of inspiration.

"You just said cat and mouse, right?" Annan stared at Olmedo.

Olmedo felt a little uncomfortable under that intense gaze, "Yeah...what's wrong?"

Why didn't I think of it earlier...

As long as "Tom and Jerry" is brought out, the sensation it will cause will not be inferior to the first magical image when it was released, and its influence will even far exceed "The Fall of the Mage Tower".

After all, Tom and Jerry is really suitable for all ages, and the current Liberty City is not the original Annan.
"What did you think of?" Olmedo couldn't help but be curious.

"What kind of foot skin to give to the rat people."

"evil……"

It's not quite accurate to say that it's just foot skin, but it's certainly not cutting flesh off Annan. Unable to find a suitable description, Annan said that it was equivalent to filming the "When Freedom Knocks on the Door" trilogy for the Rat People.

So it's the new magic image?

This made Olmedo look forward to it. As the deputy mayor of Liberty City, Annan could make money by publishing new works... No, it could enrich the city's treasury. As herself, Olmedo certainly had some hobbies.

“Go create,” Olmedo urged, taking the initiative to lift the magic of the door.

"Okay...By the way, is the ratman craftsman still in the city?"

"I sent them to the railway... Is there something wrong with them?" Olmedo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"No, I'm just worried that the Stuhn ratmen will take them back. By the way, can they help with the railway?"

"They are not small. Each of them can defeat an earth elemental."

"That's good."

The railway is a bit slow because the distance is too long and it is not a high priority among the many projects in Liberty City.

Construction has already started on the Silstovis side. Even if both sides are laid at the same time, the first operation will not start until at least next autumn.

After Annan went out, he did not go to his study to work, but first found Gail and told her the good news.

As soon as he walked up to the third floor, he met the worried maid Abby, who came over as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Master Annan, Miss Gale is packing her luggage..."

"Pack your luggage?"

Annan was slightly startled and walked to Gale's door.

The door was open. Annan looked around to make sure there was no older single elf hiding in the corner and spying, then he knocked on the door and went in.

"Gail, you...what's wrong with you?"

Annan had never seen this gray-haired rat look like this before.

Gale, who always acted proud in front of everyone, seemed to have lost his color, with his tail hanging limply and his furry ears drooping listlessly, making people feel distressed.

She said: "You didn't reach an agreement with the elders, and the tribe ordered me to go back..." It's not that simple. The elders asked her to forcibly control Annan in the end... But Gale, who had been in Liberty City for almost a year, really couldn't do it... She could only say that the corruption assassination failed and go back to accept the punishment from the elders.

"I've thought of a win-win solution," Annan said softly, resisting the urge to touch Gail's ear.

Gale shook his head and said, "You and I both know that you will not betray Liberty City, and the Saints will not change their minds."

"And then let you go back to be punished? You are my partner, how can I push you back into the fire pit?" Annan took the luggage from Gale's hand - it turned out to be some shiny and cheap little commodities made in Liberty City.

"Don't worry, I really found a solution. Let's contact the rat elder again."

Gale stared at Annan in a daze. The figure was not tall and might even be described as slender, but it seemed to be covered in a perfect soft light...

At this moment, Gail felt that he could no longer leave Ann... and could no longer leave Liberty City.

At the corner of the corridor outside the room, Maria, leaning against the wall with a dagger wrapped around her tail, shook her head, threw the dagger into her pocket, wrapped her tail around her waist, and turned and walked away.

……

Later, after conveying Annan's request for another meeting, Gale followed him to the Mage Tower.

In addition to the two of them, Annan also brought diplomat Francois and apprentice devil Claire to show his importance.

At the appointed time, Annan opened the portal—the ratman elder wrapped in a cloak appeared on the other side.

"Have you changed your mind?"

"No."

The ratman elder became visibly colder.

"But I have thought of a win-win solution." Annan smiled and said, "Do you know magic images?"

Francois glanced sideways.

Such a familiar sentence...

"Magic images... Of course I know." "You want to take magic images for the Saints?"

"How is it? Is it sincere enough?"

The rat elder was moved, and the coldness gradually faded away: "What story do you want to use to praise the Holy Clan?"

"I haven't decided yet, but your image will definitely be positive."

The rat elder hissed like a venomous snake: "How can you promise?"

"Anything Annan produces must be top quality." Annan raised his head proudly. "You can ask around in human society."

The ratman elder looked at Gale, and Gale nodded to him imperceptibly.

It let out a satisfied laugh: "When you are ready, bring the Philosopher's Stone to me to exchange information..."

"No." Annan refused. "McKean's ratmen have already started attacking. Tell me after a while. What's the use?"

"You want us to hand over the information first?"

"Of course. You have to understand that our efforts are not equal. Intelligence is easy for you, but it is the first step for you to extend your claws into Middle-earth."

Annan's words were very explicit, and the rat people just happened to like this kind of explicitness.

The ratman elder no longer objected, and they signed a devil's contract with each other: Annan guaranteed that Stuen Rat in the work would be a lovable and positive character, and the ratman elder guaranteed that the information given was true and valid.

"Have you enjoyed working together?"

"Pleasant to work with."

"By the way, which one do you like best?"
