Alien world

Chapter 161 Chapter 15. I know you know I know

The carriage carrying Annan drove quietly out of Xingyue Bay, passing the hill of the future lord's mansion. Annan stopped and looked back at the early morning of Xingyue Bay: children were playing and chasing on the frozen shallows, and workers were building houses in full swing. foundation.

It was a vibrant new town, and the god of men couldn't help admiring it, if there was such a god.

The journey to the Territory of Osulonde is long, and it will be at least two months later when I return at the end of December.

Perhaps at that time Xingyue Bay had already become a prosperous and beautiful coastal town.

Annan only brought the orcs with him, so he rushed to the Sunset Plain in the early morning of the third day of departure without delay.

The clouds in the north are refracted into orange, and the snow-capped mountains are gradually blurred, as if a snowstorm is brewing that is about to go south.

Jiaolin in the Sunset Plain has logged a lot. Annan, who just wanted to pass by, saw a dispute between his forest farm and some woodcutters, and some soldiers were driving the woodcutters away.

Annan asked the orcs to drive the carriage to the forest farm, and asked the soldiers who stopped because of their arrival: "What's wrong?"

"King of the North... my lord, these commoners want to rob you of your charcoal!"

The soldiers who puffed up their chests and shouted proudly are in stark contrast to the woodcutters who are afraid and cowering.

"Let them take it, as long as we don't move our charcoal." Annan said.

The woodcutter, who thought he would be punished, was thankful, and Annan let the howler continue on his way: "Don't thank me, these charcoals are ownerless."

The sunset plain gradually receded, and carriages and pedestrians began to appear on the road.

Annan asked the orcs to cover the emblem of the King of the North with a tarpaulin, and continued on their way, reaching Breeze City in the morning.

According to this traveling speed, they can arrive at Ausulonde Territory within half a month.

If riding a dragon...

The first snowfall in the north, which had been brewing for a long time, finally fell.

Annan raised his head, and a snowflake fell into his black eyes, just like the diamond-shaped snowflakes on the emblem of the Twelve Kings of the Northern Territory melted in an instant.

Annan slowly closed his eyes, thinking that old Zoren's legs should be hurting now.

This snowfall made Annan feel better, but after entering Breeze City, he became heavy again.

Many poor people in poor clothes scattered in the streets to beg from passers-by or carriages, including the elderly and children.Strictly speaking, they were not refugees. They were free citizens or even residents of Breeze City, but they lost their homes and their dignity due to many reasons.

The carriage in front of Annan was a benevolent nobleman. He couldn't see this, and asked the housekeeper to drive away the poor who got too close.

After thinking about it, Annan asked the howler to help them, but the poor people were scared away as soon as the orc showed up.

Annan had no choice but to cover himself with a hood, holding a few gold coins to attract them closer.

"I am... the younger brother of Ms. Wine. My sister and the King of the North are good friends. The King of the North is recruiting citizens recently. All the citizens will distribute cotton clothes and accommodation. If you are interested, go to Winchet Manor .”

Seeing that the poor were still hesitating, Annan continued, "Haven't you guys heard this saying? 'In Prang Boon County, there's wine from a fine wine lady'."

Finally persuading the poor, Annan put away the silver coins they were staring at and let the carriage continue on its way.After driving half a street, Annan turned his head and saw some poor people starting to move to the manor of the wine lady.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Annan leaned forward due to inertia.

Before I had time to ask what was going on, a clear girlish voice came from outside the carriage.

"Let me meet Jack!"

Annan got out of the carriage in time before the people around the street were alarmed, and signaled the excited girl to hiss: "Shh...you recognize this too?"

"I've watched "The Fall of the Mage's Tower" 114 times, and I can still recognize you after being frozen into an ice sculpture and smashed into pieces."

"It's not so cruel..." Annan guessed that the voice and the howler had exposed him.

Fortunately, the girl is not fanatical, she didn't pester Annan, but just expressed her love for Jack.After Annan left, the girl got back into the carriage, and there was a conversation.

"Father, let's help the poor like Jack did."

"The king of the North needs fame and people, and it's no good for us to do so!"

"Please, aren't you worried about being retaliated by Jack? This happens to be a good opportunity to reconcile with him."

"If you want to do it, you can do it with your own pocket money." The old nobleman, who was impatiently pestered by his daughter, snorted coldly.

Twenty minutes later, the carriage covered with a tarpaulin stopped in front of the solemn and solemn steps of the Santo's Mansion.As the suspicious carriage approached, the guards hurriedly moved away when they saw the black hair emerging from the hood.

Telling the Howler to stay here, Annan knocked on the oak door of the Santo's office.

knock knock --

"Come in."

Annan stepped into the office covered with fluffy wool carpets, and Olmedo, who was handling official business, did not raise his head: "What's the matter?"

"Annan is here."

The swinging quill stopped for a moment, then continued to move: "Did you come to me in the end?"

"I came to you first as soon as I entered the city and didn't even return to the manor."

Olmedo, who was carefully reviewing the official affairs, showed a smile: "Then our King of the North is here to visit his friend?"

"Not really, I want to know how you can turn me into 'Levi's'."

"I guessed it..." Olmedo called the guards, "Bring Dina here."

Not long after, an ordinary-looking maid in a plain long dress appeared.Compared with the maid outfits popular in the south, this plain long skirt is the servant costume of many ancient families, just like the old maid of the old master.

"This is my... mother's maid."

Annan thought that Augusta knew if you would return from hell if you used his wife to cover up your identity.

"The method you said is makeup?"

"It's similar, it's a trick of an assassin." Olmedo said that he would apply a potion on his face to achieve the effect of changing his face.

"Assassin?"

"My... Dina used to be a member of the Shadow Brotherhood, she will go with you and protect you."

Guards...Annan was thoughtful.The identity of the previous guard was an assassin on the surface, but he was actually a rat man disguised as an elf.What is the identity of this assassin guard?
The maid thought that Annan was worried: "Please rest assured, the potion will not be discovered. Miss's...mother used this to avoid many pursuits."

Annan and Olmedo seem to have formed a tacit understanding:
Annan knew Olmedo's identity, Olmedo knew that Annan knew her identity, Annan knew that Olmedo knew that he knew her identity...

"One more thing." Olmedo restrained his smile and said seriously: "Recently, there have been some unfavorable rumors in the city."
