Alien world

Chapter 1285 207. Misunderstandings are resolved
"You said the dragon didn't kill innocent people, but when we came in, we saw a pile of bones outside the cave."

“That’s me…”

Joan raised her hands timidly. "Those were found by the gnolls in the mines. I asked them to pile them outside to warn the villagers nearby..."

"Many of the bones are indeed old," the ranger agreed.

Captain Ryan continued, "Our people have found out that many mine owners have claimed to have been robbed by evil dragons."

"Absolutely not! Ilimoyas and I have been together almost all the time. She stays in the cave all day and only goes out at night to catch jackals...wolves...men..."

Joan's tone slowed down, she was a little uncertain: "It shouldn't be...right?"

Elimoyas didn't want to answer these humans who came with malicious intent, but as Annan raised his hand and stroked her chin, Elimoyas snorted reluctantly: "I'm not interested in the coal they dig."

Annan no longer had any last worries: "I'll vouch for it. She definitely didn't rob the mine owner."

Ryan recalled that the mine owners immediately asked for tax reductions after pouring out their bitter feelings about the looting, and he had a rough guess.

Compared to them, a blue dragon is more credible.

"So the massacre of the village was also the work of the Lord of the Broken Mountains?" Captain Ryan let go of his hammer.

The Osculus Mercenaries are not just assholes who cannot distinguish between good and evil. They are also smart people. When a dragon does nothing evil and is a blue dragon of their clan, they will not be stupid enough to seek trouble for themselves.

"Uh...Killian Territory and Boy Village are ours..." Joan said guiltily.

Captain Ryan tightened his grip on the hammer again.

"Oh, yes, your guard told me." Annan remembered, "You were captured by Killian in the wild, but luckily you met Ilimoras, who rescued you."

Captain Ryan loosened his soft armor-covered palm.

"But Boy Village...was it really done by you?"

Captain Ryan gradually tightened the handle of the hammer.

"We... After we escaped, we first settled down near Boyi Village. I went down the mountain to buy something and found a wanted notice for me in the village. The villagers arrested me and wanted to hand me over to Killian... There was a woman who let me hide in her house..."

Joan was in a depressed mood and recounted the story of how she was saved, betrayed, and when she was desperately waiting to die, Elimois fell from the sky.

"The village chief said that I'm more valuable dead than alive and wanted to hang me. Ilimayas found out that I hadn't returned and came out to look for me... It had nothing to do with her. It was those villagers who started it first!"

"I see. You are the victim."

Captain Ryan placed the warhammer at his feet as Annan looked at him in confusion.

"I have asked all my questions. Although the authenticity cannot be confirmed yet, I am more willing to trust you than the people here," said Captain Ryan.

"Thank you."

Annan felt honored to have the trust of a paladin.

"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Annan Reeves, the Lord of Liberty City."

After spending the whole day together, Annan did not use the same rhetoric he used in front of outsiders.

"Are you Annan Reeves?" Captain Ryan showed a hint of surprise.

"You know me?"

Annan stayed in the Broken Mountains for several days, and no one had seen the magic image. Annan thought they didn't recognize him either.

"I've heard of you. You killed the legendary Red Dragon Warlock of the Demon Camp and became a squire of the Holy Grail Knight."

Annan said modestly: "I just helped a little..." Captain Ryan looked at Annan with a look of kindness and respect: "But the kingdom said that you were the mastermind behind the death of the legendary red dragon warlock."

Marshal Galkin is so kind. I will send him another 10,000 muskets someday!

Annan was no longer modest and continued to introduce Elimois and Joan to them.

"She is Joan... Joan Montreal, the Imperial Princess of the Tatoon Empire."

Annan didn't expose Joan, because the Empire wouldn't come here to clarify anyway.

The members of the Dragon Slayer Team showed even more intense expressions than when they learned of Annan's identity.

They had never heard of Liberty City, but everyone knew the Empire... They couldn't even associate this girl with clean cheeks, dirty skirt, and mushrooms scattered under her feet with the Barbarian Empire...

But it seems reasonable...

Captain Ryan knelt on one knee, leaning on his war hammer, and saluted Joan as a knight.

Joan hurriedly took a few steps forward, but stopped when she realized that this was against her status. She explained in a panic, "No need to do this. I'm working for Annan now. Just treat me as an ordinary person..."

Their attention was focused on Annan again.

At such a young age, he owns a floating city, has an imperial princess as his subordinate, and is in love with a blue dragon... How come I have never heard of such a big shot before?
"I'm sorry. Lord Raymond and I were both looking for Ilimayas at the time. When I learned that you had clues about her, I sneaked out. I couldn't let Lord Raymond find me, so I had to disguise myself and deceive you."

"It's okay, at least you prevented a misunderstanding." Captain Ryan stood up and showed that he didn't care.

"What about the commissions you received?"

"Just give up, it's just some liquidated damages."

Annan felt bad: "I'll pay for you. You still need to save money to support your hometown, right?"

"It's not that bad."

Captain Ryan insisted on not accepting it, but Annan finally said that he was still a temporary member of the Osculas Mercenary Group and should share some of the responsibility. Only then did Captain Ryan stop refusing.

"Hello, I'm Luo Fei..."

Luo Fei, holding the doll, came over.

"I just became a different person, not a different person." Annan looked at her shy appearance and said, "Why do you act as if I don't know you anymore?"

Because Annan changed from being the "descendant of a noble family with great power and wealth" to being the "noble family himself with great power and wealth."

As long as she can stick to it, Luo Fei can live a life of a noble lady of "buy two skeletons of bone dragons, summon one, and cook soup with one"...

But Annan didn't seem to be very interested in her. After a few polite words, he started talking to Joan.

Luo Fei returned to his companions dejectedly.

"Why don't you give up?" the ranger asked her.

"Why give up?"

"Look, a lord actually came here in person for the blue dragon. Doesn't this show their feelings?"

"So what?" Luo Fei looked at the blue dragon in the center of the cave angrily, "One of them is a human, and the other is a dragon. They are destined to be unable to combine—"

Then, under Luo Fei's gaze, the blue dragon put away the dazzling mountain of treasure, and transformed itself into a beautiful girl wearing a long dress made of gorgeous jewels.

Luo Fei was speechless.
