Alien world

Chapter 167 21. The Daily Life of the Territory of Ausulonde
I hope Laila won't be like those girls in Breeze City... Annan thought of pretending to be persuaded by her.

The second sister is obsessed with Jack in "The Fall of the Mage Tower" and can't extricate herself, and no longer harass the real Jack - Annan wandered around in the castle, like a maze of complex corridors and black stone brick walls tens of centimeters thick, plus the moat outside the city wall , is quite a war castle.

He broke into the library by mistake, and these ancient books made Annan stop.

Annan likes to read. Reading these words seems to be listening to the breath of the world.What surprises will these ancient books bring?Annan thought about opening the title page:

[It is rumored that...but...it has always been like this...seven...]

Silently closing the book, putting it back in its original place, and pulling out the second book, Annan found that this time he couldn't even pronounce the title of the book, and left this sad place without looking back.

Mastering the common language is on the agenda.

The Reeves family was indeed on the verge of decline—Annan walked through Blackstone Castle. There were no expensive and valuable decorations like the Earl's Manor here, and there were no young and beautiful maids. Even the guards guarding the castle were the town's militia.

If Annan hadn't appeared, the Reeves family, who had lost their heirs, would lose their people along with them, and it wouldn't be long before they would become what Bloom said, "the twelve kings of the north who are not threatening are the good kings of the north."

Back in the bathroom, Annan took the water element and went outside for a stroll in the town.

The sky was overcast outside, but the biting wind was no longer blowing.A night of blizzard turned the vast plain into rolling hills.

The water element beside him flowed faster, and Annan didn't know if it was cursing or counteracting the severe cold, but it seemed that the water element could not turn into an ice element.

Let the water element go back to the bathroom by himself, Annan stepped on the lowered suspension bridge, and walked towards the town along the stone road cleared of snow.

Annan stopped and turned around after walking a certain distance.Blom followed in the distance, and the whole picture of Blackstone Castle appeared in front of him.Among them, Annan saw a beautiful figure sitting in front of the window.

Annan and Itilia waved, and after she responded, they continued to set off and came to the town.

The townspeople who knew of Annan's arrival enthusiastically shared food or invited Annan to be a guest. I wonder if there is any eyeliner for the nobles in this town?

When they were tired of dealing with these hospitable townspeople, they were suddenly dispersed by shouts. The two boys who claimed to be Minister Mosley and General Marcus yesterday surrounded Annan like dog legs:

"King, you are back!"

Annan told them frankly: "Do you remember the attack on me? That attack made me lose a lot of memory, so... sorry, I don't remember you."

Minister Mosley and General Marcus looked at each other, patted their chests and said that they would be given the method of restoring memory—the method was to lead Annan to wander around the town and recall past battles:

A bakery, which is the holy land of the goddess of abundance, where only one fruit of the divine tree, as sweet as honey, can restore all physical strength.

A blacksmith's shop, where is the temple of all warriors, where exquisite artifacts await its master.

A group of big geese, evil villains!Visitors from hell!Their razor-sharp claws, summoning the evil shriek of a hell lord, are the greatest enemies of these holy knights!

Children wrapped in cotton-padded clothes and fur balls gradually gathered around. They surrounded Annan and seemed to be the king of children.

What distinguishes Annan from them is thinking: the children are immersed in fantasy, while Annan is observing the situation in the town.

There were no homeless or emaciated poor, or those who couldn't make it out of Osulond after word of the attack on Levi's came back.

After walking around the town, Minister Mosley asked Annan expectantly: "Have you remembered everything?"

Annan shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, you are still our majesty the king." General Marcus said faithfully.

When Annan was about to end this childish behavior, Minister Mosley said: "Please follow us to the capital, the queen is waiting for you."

"lead the way."

Minister Mosley and General Marcus led Annan to the children's secret base, an abandoned barn.

On the throne made of straw, Annan saw the queen: a scarecrow in a shabby dress and poultry feathers.

They are so perfunctory that they can't even find a girl?
At least they didn't build a snowman that can only be used in winter... While Annan was still thinking this way, the children playing soldiers appeared outside the barn pushing a snowman.

"Your Majesty, your concubine, the Ice Queen, heard the news of your return and came to see you." Minister Mosley said respectfully.

I have to stop them... Annan thought that his sanity was decreasing every second.

"Do you want to know my experience in Breeze City? Fighting wits and courage with the legendary mage, fighting in and out of the rat tide..."

A fresh story belonging to the "King" quickly attracted the attention of children including the "Minister" and "General". They surrounded Annan and listened to his narration of the underground horror.

And kill the Ratmen with your own hands:
"If you asked me how many Ratmen I've killed, I'd say do you remember how much you drank?"

While Annan was still talking, a shadow quietly appeared outside the abandoned barn...

"I'm not old enough to drink," said Chancellor Mosley.

"Then do you remember how many loaves of bread you have eaten?"

The children shook their heads.

"Why didn't I know about this?"

The sudden cold snort made Annan froze.Because he didn't want them to worry, Annan didn't show off what happened underground——

Sweeping over the trembling generals, ministers and soldiers, if you give in, you will completely lose your majesty in front of the children!
"Second sister, why are you here?"

Leila narrowed her eyes slightly: "What did you call me?"

"Second sister..."

"I just heard that you came to the town to see you." Leila, who was in a better mood, raised her head and glanced at Bloom outside the barn, "I don't worry that your guard is here."

Thought she was talking about her general Marcus puffing out his thin chest.

"Then my brother will continue to play with the 'children', remember to go back to eat early."

Layla leaves the palace with pride and joy, and the forgetful children soon start a new game: hide and seek.

childish.

Annan thought, but let's accompany them for Levi's...

"100! 99! 89! 79..."

The children were hiding in all directions, and Annan found that an ordinary and ordinary trash can beside the street was suddenly shining brightly, like a luxurious and exquisite treasure box, waiting for the lucky one to open it.

Hiding here will not be found, the cleaning of mage robes will not be soiled, and the severe cold will freeze the smell.As for the embarrassment... it would be embarrassing if the majestic king of the north was caught in hide-and-seek!

Annan, who got into the trash can, found that Bloom was still standing not far away, and waved him away.

“19！9！8！7……1！”

Annan hid in the trash can, listening to the children outside chasing and laughing as they ran past.Over time, his excitement gradually turned to doubt.

Why haven't they come to me yet?
