Alien world

Chapter 283 136. Omen
"I want to celebrate in advance that you successfully got a knight of the Knights to stand by your side?"

On the way back, Ingrid said happily.

"You should have said, 'Their transformation is beginning to pay off,'" Annan corrected her.

"You really want to absorb them?"

"They didn't hurt my subjects—" Annan walked on the path among the flower fields.The seeds of this batch of sunflowers are not very good, and the flower discs produced are only the size of a palm.It can be used for viewing, but don’t want to eat it anymore, you won’t be hungry enough to fill your stomach with it. "I mean the people. People here don't hate them either. It's a waste of the elite to work for them."

Those who should be hated have paid for their sins with their lives.

"But they are members of the Knights, and they have a complicated network of relationships behind them."

"Then let their family redeem him. They work for us and give us money."

Abby, who was waiting inside, opened the door and let Annan and Ingrid in: "Let them continue the "reform through labor" for a few months... There are four to five thousand workers working in Xingyue Bay every day, and the defense will last forever." Not too much."

There are 24 counties in the kingdom of Rikaner. A few days ago, the new initial account observed that the rat plague spread to the extreme north county. There are less than three counties left from the royal capital... In less than three weeks, the people of the royal capital will see the overwhelming rat tide appear on the horizon.

What brings some hope is that the New Initial has discovered the migrants before the rat disaster.Their existence is the same as that of Annan, trying to wake up the sleeping drunk.

With the help of Annan and Olmedo, the Diatra family and the Lawrence family successively agreed to join.Now, only the "mascot" far away in the capital, the Burrows family, remains.

The shops on the street closed one after another, and the two taverns became noisy, and as the night approached, they also hid in silence.

crunch - crunch -

In the empty and dead square, there was the creaking sound of hemp rope shaking.

In the quiet bedroom, Annan woke up from a deep sleep, and followed the sound to the window.

A silhouette of a man with slung shoulders hangs from a gallows in the square, swaying in the breeze.

Why is the gallows still here?Why are the street lights on the street turned off?The sleepy Annan rubbed his eyes, looked again, and there was no one on the gallows.

crunch - crunch -

The sound of hemp rope shaking sounded close at hand.Suddenly, an afterimage fell outside the window, and was strangled by a rope and hung in front of the window.Its neck was stretched into a long and twisted shape, and its body was covered with ratman cilia. Its scarlet pupils stared at Annan resentfully——

"what!!!"

Annan woke up from the bed, his heart seized by fear, and he was breathing quickly.When he glanced at the window stiffly from the corner of his eye, the mist of the magic lamp diffused around the corner of the window.

But Annan still hasn't escaped from the nightmare...

Going to Laila's room at this time is not good... Lilith's room is not good... Abby's room is even worse.

This dream really frightened Annan.Helplessly, he slipped out of the lord's mansion with his pillow in his arms, and ran to the blue dragon's lair.Being around Elimoas creates a barren sense of security.

Eli Moas graciously allowed Annan to sleep on the gold coin mountain, and only charged five gold coins for the accommodation fee, and then invited him to lie on the gold coin pile.

"how do you feel?"

On a midsummer night, the cold but not damp gold coins are surprisingly comfortable.

"……not bad."

……

When the east was slightly brighter, Annan woke up and slipped back to the lord's mansion as if he had slipped out quietly.It didn't take long for the maid Abby to wake up, take back the freshly baked newspaper, and prepare breakfast.

Everything is going well, Annan thought.No one knew that he had a nightmare last night and sneaked out.

After tearing apart the corner of the newspaper, Evelyn's crisp voice made Annan relax a lot.

The first edition of the news is still reserved for the McCann clan going north, and the second edition of Annan is here: Annan Reeves, the King of the North, joins the Janna family, the Diatra family, the Lawrence family, the Burrows family, and the North Five of the Twelve tries to awaken the royal family of King Rikkal, who is still bewildered by the Skaven.

"...The defeat of the Loyal Knights led to the death of the head of the group, Galt. Annan, the lord of Xingyue Bay, awarded honors to the guards, citizens and mercenaries who participated in the battle—"

Laila and Lilith came to the dining room and sat down at their breakfast.

"No one would believe this magic newspaper after it was sent out." Annan pointed to the image of himself wearing a gold medal for the leader.

"I have a hunch that I can catch a 50-pound fish today." Laila hurriedly finished her breakfast and ran out.

Lilith is a quiet girl. Annan picked up the coffee while listening to the news to sort out the horrible dream...

Ingrid came to the restaurant with a stack of government affairs:
"I heard that you spent the night with Blue Dragon last night?"

"Pfft——" Annan spit out warm coffee, "I'm sorry...Abby! Get Miss Lilith a towel! Don't talk nonsense, I just... just have something to ask Elimoas."

"Do you still need to bring a pillow when you ask something?"

Annan watched embarrassingly as Lilith calmly wiped the coffee stains on her cheeks, hair, and clothes: "I had a nightmare, and I didn't want to disturb my sister, so I had to go to the blue dragon's lair..."

Ingrid sighed: "I can guarantee that I won't talk nonsense."

Annan gradually stiffened: "Does anyone else know?"

"Good news and bad news." This kind of sentence that I don't know when is spreading in Xingyue Bay: "From the women to the guards, from the shipyard to the industrial area, from the old orcs on the beach to the prisoners in the dungeon, you Everyone knows the secret of sneaking into the blue dragon's lair with a pillow in the middle of the night."

"...What's the good news?" Annan asked Abby to bring another towel, which he would use to wipe off his sweat.

"Your reputation is not very good, so this kind of rumor is not painful to you."

Annan tried hard to argue: "But it's true. I dreamed... I woke up and went to Elimoas's place. It also invited me to lie on the gold coin mountain and feel it."

Ingrid narrowed her eyes: "A dragon let you touch his treasure?"

Annan suddenly realized that for a dragon, even the dragon mother and relatives cannot touch its treasure.

"Well……"

Lilith made a sound at this time. After Annan looked at it, she said seriously: "It is said that people who bathe in the blood of the dragon will improve their physique, awaken the dragon's veins, and acquire talents. Do you have any changes?"

"Haha..." Annan let out a desperate laugh.

Just when he wanted to give up trying to save his image, the teleportation pendant Annan wore on his wrist suddenly activated——

This teleportation pendant is the one sent to the Baros family in the capital.

Fire Crow succeeded?Annan thought that just as he was about to cast the elementary summoning spell, a terrifying nightmare suddenly appeared in his mind: the corpse of the scout of the knight order turned into a rat man, shaking outside the window...

The teleportation pendant was still flickering ominously, as if a knock on the door in the middle of the night urged Annan to open the door...
