Alien world

Chapter 185 38. "Walking Alone"

Annan was wearing a warm and thick coat, and the hand holding the rein of the carriage was tucked into the sleeves.

Just as the coldness of winter did not freeze Annan's enthusiasm, the boring journey did not dampen his expectations.

Think back to the companions on this trip: Gray Wolf, a somewhat withdrawn middle-aged businessman, with a speechless boy who is about the same age as Martin; Astolfo, a girl who worships knights and wants to go to Beital City to become a squire; and A business girl with weather-beaten skin.

Annan's character design is a young man swinging between a businessman and a bard. The feather clothes borrowed from Andrew Luna are packed in a suitcase and will never be revealed.

This time, it's not like being taken care of by Aunt Susan's family in Pinglin Town, it's not like being involved in a conspiracy vortex in Breeze City, and it's not like going back to Osulonde to feel uneasy.Even took off the mage's robe - the trip to Betar City will be a real adventure in another world.

This is Annan's own adventure!
……

An ordinary afternoon, a little earlier.

When the excited Annan left the city lord's mansion, Olmedo waved his hand and called the servants in the distance: "Francois and the others are here too, right? Tell Dina to find them and tell them..."

"Annan is going to abandon you."

Dina, who appeared in front of Francois, Della, and Lorna, told them that Annan was going to Beitar City, and found an excuse to lie to them.

No wonder Annan ran back suddenly just now, saying that he had some matters to deal with in Breeze City and told them to go back to Xingyue Bay first...

"Are you assured that Annan will go to Betar City by himself?"

"Otherwise, what can we do..." Francois somehow felt like taking care of the naughty boy, "Then Annan's safety will be entrusted to you."

"Actually, it's you guys." Dina opened the wooden box she brought, "I'm proficient in makeup."

Ten minutes later, a rough man and a lively girl stood in front of Dina.

"Be careful not to reveal your secrets."

Dina reminded them.Because of the Alien Order, Della is not in the disguise and will not follow Annan.

"I don't need to speak." The rough man spoke in Lorna's voice.

"I can disguise my voice." The lively girl said crisply, "What about the things that are going to be sent to Xingyue Bay?"

"Leave it to us, some caravans will go to Xingyue Bay in the next few days."

Francois didn't say anything anymore, and checked the luggage to be sent back to Xingyue Bay - the figure curled up in the suitcase was revealed as it was opened.

Bang!
The "girl" pressed down on the suitcase with a look of horror.

Dina and the "man" in the distance cast their gazes.

"The lock of the box is a little rusty!"

As soon as Francois recovered his voice, Martin got out of the suitcase: "I know what you do, take me one."

"You do not know."

The prestige of Annan's cousin is known to everyone from Breeze City to Xingyue Bay.

"Cousin is going to Betal City without taking you. You want to pretend to be someone else and follow him. What's so hard to guess?"

The rumors are wrong... Francois, who thought so, was thinking of knocking Martin unconscious——

"You want to knock me out?"

Now Martin doesn't look stupid at all, he's even shrewd as hell.Francois had no choice but to agree to take Martin: "But don't reveal your secrets."

"I know, being found out will definitely send me back, and I'm not stupid."

The next day, Rona, Martin, and Francois joined Annan's team as a lonely businessman, a boy with aphasia, and a knight girl.

……

As the new night fell, the three carriages stopped at an empty campsite on the side of the road, set up a bonfire, and boiled snow water.

After several days of traveling, the five got to know each other well.

The down-and-out princess of a neighboring country complained that the road was getting more and more difficult to walk. On the first day of rest, the business girl claimed to be the princess of the Tatum Empire, but she was slandered and driven out of her homeland by the vicious queen.

The Tatum Empire is the most powerful country in the Allen Continent, and there is not even one after 500 years of the Saint Laurent calendar.

"Because we're almost at the city of Betal," said the knight girl Gemma.As for why the road near Betal City turned bad...it can only be said that this is politics.

"Are you a wanted criminal?" the princess asked Annan, pretending to be elegant, rubbing her calf, "Why are you wearing a hood all the time?"

Annan really didn't need to hide his head and show his tail, but just in case: "Do you know "The Fall of the Mage Tower"?"

"what is that?"

Annan did not answer, looking around at the other people in front of the campfire.

"What is the fall of the Mage Tower?"

"What is the Mage Tower?"

It seems that there is no danger of exposure... Annan lifted his cloak: "I just want to avoid some trouble..."

It's just that the effect is not as good as Annan imagined. Perhaps the cold wind these days has made his face rough, and he is wearing a bloated coat.Only the princess stared at Annan without blinking. After being awakened, she turned her head dubiously: "I just looked at you twice more because I thought you were like a prince..."

Annan took some powder from the bag and sprinkled it on himself and others.

"Why does this smell like spices..." The knight girl was choked and pinched her nose.

"Because this is pepper."

As the price of being less north, there are not only ratmen but also vampires in Betal City.

The smell of pepper is off-putting to a vampire's keen sense of smell, but it's a bit of a risk—ogres love it.

After supper, they returned to their carriages to rest.

The camp returned to silence, the night deepened, at some point.Two shadows hovered over the camp, ominous whispers ripped apart by the wind.

"There is an adventurer here..."

"They have pepper..."

……

In the early morning, they resumed their departure and passed a village in the morning-the village on the map was only a few dozen miles away from Betal City, and they were almost there.

But passing through the village, they found that the villagers were preparing to burn a beautiful lady.

"Help me! They say I'm a devil and want to burn me!"

Before Annan and the others did anything, the villagers surrounded the carriage with forks, axes and other tools: "They are the accomplices of the devil...burn them to death!"

The princess was terrified, but the boy was still sleeping.

A wooden spear slanted across Annan's face.They were forced to fight back, the knight girl rushed out first, followed by the withdrawn uncle.As professionals, they are responsible for solving the villagers. When Annan wanted a hero to save the beauty, he was shocked to find that the stake was empty——

Annan was preparing to activate the magic ring and release low-level summoning spells, and shouted to remind the knight girl and the lonely uncle to stop the battle and leave this weird village.

This journey is beginning to look like an adventure, Annan thought.

Then they speeded up, and finally, on the fifth day of departure, the city of Betal appeared in front of them.

What surged in Annan's heart was not only anticipation but also pride - Gema never imagined that he ran to Betar City.
