Alien world

Chapter 1251 173. Annan Arrives at Broken Mountains
As he walked out of the palace, Killian regained a little strength.

A skinny hand stretched out from the black cloak next to him, holding a handkerchief embroidered with flower petals.

"I have it myself."

Killian was not very polite to the epic wizard sent by his uncle. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the dried blood from his forehead.

Mr. Mora didn't care and followed Killian out of the palace and headed for his territory.

The first thing that caught my eye was the mess in the territory.

The burning streets were extinguished, leaving only dark ruins. The slave owners in the commercial street had fled, and the slaves had been released. The once beautiful manor was full of traces of being trampled by the dragon.

Killian's face turned pale.

Not only was the manor storing taxes from recent months and residents fleeing, but also the prisoners in the dungeon had all escaped.

Some of them he had captured with great difficulty. If they were let go, it would bring him a lot of trouble, especially...

Killian covered his nose and came to the deepest part of the dungeon. The guy he had tortured all day was no longer there. Only the unpleasant smell of decay remained.

"Where's Roland?"

He asked the guards who ran back after seeing him come back.

No one knew, but after returning to the ground, a maid came over and said that it was Alan who showed the invaders the way.

"Who is Alan?"

The maid with jealousy in her eyes pointed at the pink-skinned maid whose cheeks had turned pale.

Killian glanced away and waved, "Make a blanket out of her skin and send it to uncle."

The guards dragged the limp maid away. Killian and the rest of the men said, "You abandoned your duties and ran away, but I will give you one more chance. Clean up my manor and territory before I return."

After saying that, Killian looked at the epic mage sent by his uncle: "That woman must be with the blue dragon. Let's go directly to its lair."

"Blue dragons usually live in groups. If there are more than three blue dragons, I won't be able to deal with them." A voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female came from the black cloak.

"Don't worry, it's a lone young dragon, and it's the only one around."

The skinny hand took back the handkerchief: "Its soul and flesh are mine."

……

Even Elimois had to admit that Joan had a point.

If you are alone for a long time, what is the difference between that and sleeping for a thousand years?
"But why you?" Elimaya looked at Joan with scrutiny.

"First, I don't have any ill will towards you. Second, I don't like money. I have no interest in money. We can give you all the money we earn. Third, please..."

"If you follow me, you'll be betraying that person."

"How can you say betrayal? We broke up peacefully!"

"separate?"

That tingling feeling came back, and Joan quickly explained: "It means parting ways without any conflicts! Just like you and Annan -"

Joan accidentally said the name, but nothing happened.

"We...break up..."

The whispers of Ilimayas echoed in the cave.

"Have you decided to leave with me?"

"Ok!"

"No longer care about Annan?"

"Who is Annan?"

……

A portal appeared out of nowhere in the open space in front of the cave.

Killian and Mr. Mora stepped out one after another. As he stared into the deep cave, Mr. Mora next to him said, "They ran away."

“Run away…?”

Killian, who was ready to avenge his humiliation, was stunned.

"Giant dragons will deploy deterrent dragon language magic around their lairs to warn nearby creatures. Red dragons are the most willing to mark their territory."

"There is no dragon power here. Either the blue dragon is dead, or they ran away."

"enough……"

Killian dug his fist in, his nails digging into the flesh.

Isn’t she the barbarian princess of the empire? She actually ran away!

Or did she know something?
"Don't worry, Master." Mr. Mora said, "They are still in the Broken Mountains. They can't escape."

Killian asked hurriedly, "Do you know where they are?"

A voice neither male nor female came out from the black cloak and made a creepy laugh.

"That's why I came here..."

……

When Joan eloped with Elimois, Annan rushed into the Broken Mountains.

The Broken Mountains were truly ominous - at least in Annan's eyes, the Broken Mountains viewed from high above were like a bunch of dark broken swords, abruptly appearing in Middle-earth, like an ancient battlefield littered with broken swords.

He was already very close to Elimoas.

The needles of the prophecy compass were no longer accurate because the distance was too close, and could only tell Annan a rough direction - right here.

But where do you start looking?
It is said that the Broken Mountains are rich in minerals, and it is indeed possible that Ilimayas came here...

Annan rode a white dragon and landed in a commercial town on the edge of the Broken Mountains.

The news that a magician riding a giant dragon had come to the town spread quickly. Ordinary people didn't care about the "shame of the dragon clan" or "a dragon that is not even as good as a sub-dragon", and naturally regarded Annan as a big shot.

Annan "anchored" the white dragon outside the town and asked the guards to find some fish to feed it. Then he reached out and touched the white dragon's head, telling it not to run around, not to eat fish given by outsiders, and not to eat fish that looked like humans - there was no error in the words.

He walked into the town and was greeted by the bustle of the street.

As a small town connecting the Broken Mountains to the outside world, a large number of commodities gathered here. There were minerals, and also... slaves who were treated as livestock.

This seems to be inevitable...

Annan could only leave it alone for the time being and investigate the whereabouts of Elimoyas.

On the way, Annan met the pastor of the Fortune Church preaching in front of the pulpit, and he stopped to listen for a while.

"What are we working hard for? For a better life. And wealth is the ladder for our life to move forward! Money is the nobility of the world, money is the law of all things, money is the measure of all things. With money, you can have everything!"

The pastor shouted passionately like an orator.

At first, Annan thought the pastor's speech was great and planned to donate a silver coin to show respect to the goddess; in the middle of the speech, Annan felt that the teachings of the Goddess of Wealth Church were contrary to his own views, but he was still willing to maintain a friendly relationship with the goddess. In the end, Annan not only gave up donating money, but also stole a few silver coins from the cash box at the beginning of the fundraising, pretending to donate money.

Taking advantage of the chaos to leave the speech venue, Annan continued to wander around the town, looking for the location of the tavern.

Before he found the tavern, the rumor of a dragon slaughtering the city reached Annan's ears.

Evil dragon, and massacre the city?

That's definitely not Elimoas.

"The princess of the empire..."

The few words that came to his mind made Annan stop.

Usually, the "Empire" mentioned in Middle-earth generally refers to the Taturn Empire. And the Imperial Princess... is a member of the royal family named Montreal.

Why would the empire come to such a remote place?
Then Annan realized that the "remote place" actually referred to himself. The Broken Mountains were indeed desolate, but they were in the central part.
