Alien world

Chapter 1303 225. Skin

The parliament rejected all the accusations against Annan's men, and Annan remained a guest of Lord Raymond, as if nothing had happened.

Captain Ryan and Sir Makarov are well aware of this, Joan seems to understand it, but only Elimois cannot understand it.

In the dragon clan, if two dragons have a conflict, they must fight to decide who is the boss. It is clear that Annan and Lord Raymond both want to kill each other, but it seems that nothing happened.

"Why don't you just do it?"

"Because that's the rule of the nobility."

Annan returned to Elimoas:

"They are at the top of society and haven't enjoyed enough, so they invented this rule to avoid escalating conflicts."

Those who kill an entire family at will are both rude and have no taste. And if you kill someone else's family, do you have no family at all?

The two nobles fought until they were bloody, and it was not only ugly, but it also benefited others.

Ilimoyas stared at Annan for a long time: "I understand, you can't beat him."

"really."

Annan also wants to ignore the rules like the empire. If you dare to offend me today, the imperial guards will knock on your door tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Liberty City has everything an empire has: excellent leaders, fair institutions, and faith among citizens, but it lacks time.

As long as Annan is given another ten years of development... no, five years, he is confident that the foundation of Free City can surpass that of Broken Mountains - except for those gold products.

The nobles in the parliament hall were leaving in an orderly manner, except for President Filin who ran out of the door with an extremely ugly look on his face.

At this time, the golden-armored guards came to Annan and conveyed the words of Commander Raymond: he invited Annan and the princess to visit.

Annan was very curious about what Lord Raymond wanted to say next, so he opened the portal and sent Elimois and the others, including Black Widow, to the open-air coal mountain.

He was worried that Raymond would be desperate and force something. He was not afraid, but Black Widow was only a master after all.

But Black Widow didn't seem to appreciate it and stepped through the portal full of resentment.

Annan removed the spell and said to the golden-armored guards waiting beside him, "Lead the way."

……

"Killian, you betrayed the High Lord and the family!"

In the back room of the Capitol, Elvis Raymond violently denounced Killian.

In contrast, Killian was much calmer: "I didn't."

"you have not?"

"I know very well that your accusations have been useless to Annan from the beginning." Killian walked to the window and stared at the backs of Annan and the princess as they left the parliament hall. "Even if I don't change my words, you can't do anything."

"And I can only avoid the escalation of the dispute by standing on Annan's side."

Elvis Raymond sneered, "You mean you're not wrong?"

"Yes."

"How dare you! This is my father's arrangement!"

"Father may not be right."

Elvis Raymond was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to blame Killian for daring to disobey the overlord or for saying "father".

"Don't change the subject. You still say you know nothing?"

"You want to say that I betrayed the information to Annan?"

"What else? He's clearly prepared for all the accusations!"

"My brother, you should doubt the person who knows the news instead of questioning me."

knock knock --

There was a knock on the door, and Elvis Raymond said without turning his head: "Come in."

His guard pushed the door open and walked in: "Master Elvis, the Lord wants you to come over."

"understood."

Elvis Raymond responded, staring at Killian deeply, and walked away without looking back. "I will explain your faults to my father. Be prepared to accept the punishment, Killian."

……

The golden carriage carrying Annan and Joan caught up with the special carriage carrying Lord Raymond, and they returned to the Golden Palace together.

"Annan Reeves."

Lord Raymond, who was helped out by his maid, looked at Annan.

Annan looked like he was listening.

"Your counterattack was nice, but do you think it worked?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Joan was also saying, "It's none of Annan's business," but the smile in her eyes clearly did not disappear.

“You don’t know them.”

Lord Raymond walked up the golden steps wiped clean of snow and narrated: "At first they would pray to you, telling you how miserable and pitiful they were, asking you to lend a hand. Then they would say, you helped us, but now we have new problems, you must help us."

At first Annan was confused about who "they" were, but then he realized that Lord Raymond was talking about the common people.

"Then they say we did it all together, so we are entitled to a share of the profits. Finally they say we did most of it, and you just sat in the Golden Palace and gave orders, but you didn't do anything."

Lord Raymond's face, which looked like it was about to be devoured by fat, was filled with disgust: "They are never worthy of sympathy, and their greed will never be satisfied. If you take a step back, they will only take two steps closer."

"Isn't it the same for the nobles?"

"Is it easier for you to 'please' ten nobles or 'please' ten thousand commoners?"

But in Annan's view, this was just an excuse for him to stop.

Lord Raymond seemed to have a naive fantasy: he could not target Annan and expect Annan to do nothing.

“I don’t even want to please.”

Annan answered casually.

He would naturally not admit to the open-pit coal mountain incident, just as Lord Raymond would not admit that the trial was intended to extort his wealth.

Unexpectedly, what he said casually won the appreciation of Lord Raymond: "That's right, as lords, we don't need to please anyone."

So Lord Raymond is a tyrant.

Annan didn't know what had caused a lord who had saved the territory from danger to become like this, just as he didn't know why he had become so fat.

He could only follow Lord Raymond, who was like a wall, and walk to two tightly closed golden carved doors while chatting.

"This is my trophy room."

The polite smile on Annan's face disappeared in an instant.

The maid stepped back, and there were only three of them in front of the door. As Lord Raymond stretched out his hand to push the two doors, Annan seemed to hear a wailing sound coming out from behind the crack of the door.

Demonstration? Or...

Lord Raymond has already walked in.

"I admire you, Annan Reeves, so you are entitled to visit my trophy room."

Annan nodded to the hesitant Joan and stepped onto the camel-red carpet which was finally no longer golden.

There was nothing overly spooky about the trophy room, at least on the surface.

There were broken armors covered with traces of battle, gorgeous jewelry, huge gold nuggets... and a cabinet full of cloths of similar colors.

Annan asked him, "What are these cloths?"

"cloth?"

Lord Raymond glanced at the "ignorant" Annan with a half-smile.

“These are human skins.”
