Alien world

Chapter 309 162. Retreat
"Kyle! Kyle! Take me back!" Annan yelled and pushed open the door of the library: "The capital is too scary! I don't want to—"

Annan's shouting stopped abruptly because of the "outsider" in the library—or Annan was the outsider.

A quiet girl in a fluffy black lace dress was sitting by the window, her eyes similar to those of Princess Seers fell on Annan.

"You are not allowed to call me that!" The legendary mage standing across from him holding a book said angrily.

"But you told me not to call you 'Kerberos'..."

"Not allowed!" Kerberos didn't have the coldness when they first met, and now he has almost one percent of Agarwal's irascibility: "Annan, you should remain in awe of the legendary mage."

"Awe is in the heart, not in the mouth."

The girl watched Annan carefully because of this sentence.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Kerberos said to the nodding girl, and he and Annan came out of the corridor.

"Have you seen the Grand Duke?"

"Well, he asked me to come up to you after I called you Kyle." Even the Grand Duke Barbatold was much more enthusiastic about Annan.

Kerberos began to regret why he promised the Grand Duke to go to Xingyue Bay, so he was stuck by this guy: "'You don't want to' what?"

At this time, a gap was opened in the hidden carved wooden door, and the girl appeared behind the door, making a gesture of silence to Annan.

Annan understood: "I don't want to stay any longer, send me back."

"Don't you have the scroll to go back?"

"That's for danger, now I'm safe." Annan said good things: "You are a legendary mage, no matter the snow mountain or the deep sea, the middle earth or the void, you only need one portal if you want to set foot on it."

"Okay, now?"

"I still have some things to take back, I will come to you in the afternoon!"

Kerberos choked, and almost refused Annan's endless taking advantage... But he is a legendary mage, and it is meaningless to bargain with a small warlock who is not an elite.

"Then we're done?" Annan said deliberately.

The girl behind the door got the hint and slipped back to the library.

Kerberos waved his hand irritably to open a portal, and on the other side was the gate of the Princess Manor.

"go out."

"I wish you health and happiness every day." Annan stepped through the portal swiftly.

Back at the manor, Annan told Princess Sells the news that he was going back to Xingyue Bay.

"Why in such a hurry?"

"Because the Ratmen...they're getting closer."

"So you're running away?"

"It's just a temporary retreat." Princess Seers gave Annan one of the few goodwill in the royal city, so he suggested that the princess also leave the royal capital for a while.

Princess Sayles turned him down.Her idea is very simple, if the Ratmen can capture the capital, it doesn't matter where they are.

Annan felt that the northern border was safe.Half of the year is winter there, and there is no soil for ratmen to breed.Like that northern joke: what are water, fire, earth, and air elements called in the north?They are collectively called frozen elements.

Then Annan went to the outer courtyard of the Aldaggers Academy, and finally got good news from Klein: she will go to the Coy Forest for a trial next, and the Coy Forest is in the east of the Principality of Mulaine.

Then Annan came to the Black Gold Auction House again, planning to buy some things, and invited Paula Thelma: "Are you interested in opening a branch in Xingyue Bay?"

Paula Sylma rejected him because the population of Xingyue Bay was too small.A city-state with a population of tens of thousands only earns a few hundred gold coins a year, which might not be enough to spend in the far north.Annan had no choice but to buy some things in Thelma and some other things in the store, spending more than three hundred gold coins.

Annan spent the whole morning shopping and wandering around, as if no one in the entire Wangdu was happier than Annan.In the afternoon, Annan bid farewell to Princess Seers, and drove a rented carriage and kobold guards back outside the Grand Duke's mansion.

The Secretary of the Interior should not mind Annan abducting their kobolds.

"This is a gift for you and Mr. Mel."

Annan gave Kerberos a quill, and Mel a book.

Kerberos' face looked better.Gifts are not expensive, what is valuable is the respect of the King in the North.

Opening the portal and sending Annan, his goods and guards back to Xingyue Bay, Kerberos returned to his library and picked up a Lich manuscript.

A legend has a lifespan that is almost eternal in the eyes of mortals, and they poorly think that the legend will be like in the story, wrestling with giants, wrestling with tree people, and going to whack ratmen to have some fun...Mages don't.Nothing in the world can compare to the mystery of knowledge.They are more willing to learn unlimited knowledge with a limited life.

When the sun rose seven times and set seven times, a knock at the door woke Kerberos.It's time for the weekly class again.

Kerberos put down the manuscript with a lot of interest, saw the pen and book on the table, and thought of the gift.Telling the princess to wait for a while, he went to the Retinue Knights and handed the book to Mel.

"Annan left you a gift."

After Kerberos left.The Holy Grail Knight wiped his hands with a handkerchief and opened the book.

【Mr. Mel, sorry I can only tell you in this way.Because we are being sucked into a huge vortex, you are the Holy Grail Knight and the person I trust the most, so I decided to let you know about it:]

[There is a group of despicable existences.Either they were bewitched by the Ratman, or they were planning something. In short, this group of beings allowed the enemy to rush into their homes, let their men slaughter their own people, burn their houses, and erase the memory of those who knew about it. 】

"And now, I want to tell you that this group of existences is the royal family, his mage tower, and lackeys of Ordance Academy. Villages were slaughtered in Illidashire. Then, when I tried to bring you back with death, a legendary mage wiped all of our memories.]

[This is what I know. 】

[No matter what they do it for, I can't approve of this cruelty.So, they're doing what they think is right, and I'm doing what I think is right. 】

【I can only express my dissatisfaction in this way. A guard can defend his village but not the country. 】

[But I don't recommend that you burn like magma, because the enemy is far more powerful than you and I imagined.If you must do something, rally your friends and hide your thoughts.Remember, don't let base evil prevail over good.

[This trip to the capital is not without fruit—witnessing the hypocrisy and cruelty of the upper echelons of the capital. 】
