Alien world

Chapter 360 18. Annan's sincerity

In the dark and damp dungeon, painful wailing and whispering echoed in the depths.

Xian Na leaned against the cold rock wall, her raised right hand was shackled to the wall, her head was lowered.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the torches on the wall cast a long and narrow shadow outside the corridor of the dungeon.

Xian Na raised her head due to the sound of footsteps, her eyes between her disheveled hair stared coldly at the figure outside the dungeon.

"How much do you want?"

A hoarse magnetic female voice sounded: "How do you know we want money?"

"You released Suni, which means you know that the groom has no money." Xian Na raised her head, her abjection and circumstances did not hide her pride: "Release me, and then prepare the room and food, so that the Waters family can Consider giving them some more money."

wow-

The cell door opened, and the figure walked into the dungeon.I couldn't see the face clearly, only the graceful outline outlined by the firelight behind me.

She squatted in front of Xian Na, pinched her chin, and said in a frivolous tone, "Are you that bitch's daughter? It's exactly the same..."

"Don't say that about my mother!"

"Look, even when you're angry, it's so...you want to bully."

Xian Na shook off the hand pinching her face, realizing that the other party was not just doing it for money.

"who are you?"

"Don't be so cold, I'm your mother's friend."

Xian Na responded indifferently: "She doesn't have a friend who would kidnap her daughter."

"Xiao Xianna said that, I'm so sad..."

Xian Na stopped talking, the woman in front of her was not as good as An Nan with a single finger.

No matter how much she fiddled with it, there was no response, and the dispirited woman stood up: "Stay here, you can go out then."

Seeing her stepping out of the cell, Xian Na suddenly said, "Who are you?"

"Just an old friend of your mother's."

……

With a heavy heart, Annan came to the flower bed and looked down at the flower cat lying in the flower bed.

It seems that because the sun was blocked, it died... The sleeping cat turned over, revealing its dirty belly, and opened its eyes.

"...Are you okay?"

"The sun is too comfortable to sleep in."

The flower cat stretched itself in the flower bed and began to roll from side to side.

"I saw you in the alley." Annan pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Do you have a wide range of activities?"

Annan is still suspicious of this talking cat.The golden dragon of the human city-state, or the henchman of the evil king?

"This is the land of cats, meow."

Annan couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Huamao's belly.For a while, the cat turned over and sat upright: "Do you have anything to eat?"

"I'll bring it to you later."

Annan asked the cat to wait for him here, got up and went back to the mansion, and said to the waiter who was looking over here: "Stop chasing the cat, if your boss asks you, tell him that I told you to do it. "

"Uh... nice guest."

Back in the room, Martin was still soundly asleep. Annan didn't wake him up, washed his hands with clean water, took out two bottles of magic medicine from under the bed and went out again.

I bought some dried meat for Huamao, let it hide on the eaves to eat, so as not to be snatched by the greedy children, and rushed to the tavern to meet Suni and the others.

The Black Gold Tavern, where Xian Na and Suni were captured.

Annan who rushed to the street was seeing Luther King and the others bewildered. They should have gained nothing.

The result was just the opposite. They greeted Annan and said in a hurry: These students actually found some information, but the problem lies in the tavern.

"What the tavern keeper should know, but he doesn't tell us."

The non-heirs and second sons of these nobles and tycoons are at best treated politely by the tavern, but they will not make concessions.

Annan's eyes fell to the distance, and a suspicious-looking guy was looking at him.

"Take me there." Annan looked away.

……

Bang!
The door of the tavern was almost knocked open, and young students surrounded Annan and walked into the deserted tavern during the day.

"You are in trouble." Luther King, who was still arrogant one moment, stepped aside the next moment, "Your Highness, this is the place."

The bartender was so frightened that he couldn't hold his wine glass, and the thugs who rushed to the hall because of the movement were also silent.

"you……"

Luther King hid his freckles and showed them his nostrils: "Call your boss!"

Seeing the handsome and noble boys surrounded, the bartender believed it and hurried upstairs.

Annan took advantage of the gap to look around the tavern.It should be able to fill his elemental legion here, giving the local head snake a little bit of Warlock shock.

Not long after, the well-built tavern owner ran down.

"It turned out to be Mr. Annan."

"you know me?"

"The genius who defeated Stowes Academy by himself, the guests have been talking about you for the past two days."

"Then you should know why we came here."

Annan's directness froze the tavern owner.Annan didn't give him time to find a reason, and continued: "Our private investigation is just not to disturb the college. But if you refuse again, it will not be us students who will appear next..."

The face of the tavern owner changed, and Annan's tone softened at this moment: "You don't need to suffer trouble for a group of vampires, do you?"

The tavern owner had to tell the truth: there are indeed vampires and succubi activities in the tavern.

But these guys living in human city-states dare not kill people, they just pick some food.And many customers just like this one, so the tavern and them each get what they need.

Despite alien orders and curfews, this is Srtovice, the city of innocence-sin was deep in everyone's soul many years ago.

Inertia is a terrible thing, and it cannot be expected that such a place will completely disappear before it hits the immovable giant.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to change you, we just want to find the vampire who took my friend."

Annan has no interest in meddling as long as they don't hurt innocent people. "Tell me who they are?"

"Black Butterfly..."

The tavernkeeper lowered his voice and said that they didn't come very often, and that the whole of Stolves' tavern was a hunting ground for these nocturnal creatures.As for where their lairs are... no one knows.

Staring at all the taverns?This is impractical.

Coming out of the tavern, Xian Na's sister asked, "Is there nothing we can do?"

"There is another way."

……

The curfew in Srtovese discouraged civilians from going out at night.Get caught by guards and get fined, get caught by evil creatures and die.

But when you open the door of the tavern from the deserted street, you will be surrounded by a bustle and bustle.Noisy mercenaries, revealing girls, and bards playing lutes are like stepping into another world.

That night, the door of the Shark Tavern was pushed open, and two unfamiliar faces walked into the tavern.The eyes of the women and some men fell on one of the figures, their eyes glowing.

Annan and Alice sat down at an empty table and looked around the tavern and the ogle-eyed guests.

This was Annan's plan: to use himself as bait.

Alice is responsible for protecting Annan during the battle.

"Have you wanted to do this for a long time?" Alice's tone was meaningful.

"I just want to get paid for rescuing Xian Na," Annan said sincerely.
