Alien world

Chapter 72 71. Elf Guard
Annan had no servants, no guards, or even a place to live before.

However, the people of Breeze City can understand this kind of despondency. The first generation of city lords also walked through the Faerun Swamp in embarrassment.

A Twelve Kings of the North from glory to ruin and then regaining glory is in line with people's concept of the theme of "revenge".

Now, Annan lives in the industrial mansion of Ms. Wine, enjoys the care of Ms. Wine's maid, and accepts the protection provided by Ms. Wine.

It made him think of Augusta Olmedo's last words.

Is this some kind of wise and kind reminder, or is it a conspiracy to plant doubts in my heart?

Annan believed in Mr. Victor, but Mr. Victor was only Lindy's teacher, and Lindy was only the niece of Ms. Wine.

But he also thought of what Michael said: It is not important what a person says, but what he does.

Bearing the name of the murderer who attacked the convoy, Augusta Olmedo drove away the nobles and rich men who stood by Annan, and only said a few words of warning; the lady of wine provided the supplies that Annan urgently needed , like Mr. Fast and the others, they knew Annan from the very beginning.

Annan is not an idiot who will doubt the people around him when others say something casually.

The guards arranged by Ms. Wine have not yet arrived, and Annan is temporarily unable to leave the manor to increase his popularity.

Going back to the bedroom and opening the suitcase, Annan took out the spider bottle.

Thinking that he only fed the little spider once after recapturing it, Annan put the spider bottle on the table and looked up at the ceiling and corners—it was spotless, clean and tidy.

If catching bugs in the attic is like catching fleas on Martin, finding worms here is like catching fleas on the wine lady.

Annan had no choice but to leave the bedroom with the spider bottle, respond to the greetings of the maid along the way, and came to the garden.

This mansion continues the natural aesthetics of Ms. Wine, and the blooming vegetation seems to stretch with the distant snow-capped mountains and the sea.

Annan stepped into the calf-high grass, skipping grasshoppers, beetles and other insects larger than small spiders, looking for larvae.

rustle--

When Annan was squatting in the grass looking for insects, there was a sound of brushing the grass behind him.

"Master Annan, what are you doing?"

Annan quickly stood up, hid the spider bottle behind his back, and said to the curious head maid, "I...uh..."

He couldn't say he was catching bugs, that would be too embarrassing.

As a mother of a child, the head maid knew very well what Annan was doing, so she asked with a smile, "Are you studying insects?"

"Yes! Look at the spider I caught." Annan was eager to prove his innocence, holding up the spider bottle, and then realized that this behavior only proved his naivety.

"Maid, I'm going to continue researching insects." He had no choice but to drive the maid away.

"Okay, Master Annan."

The thoughtful head maid left.Annan continued to stand in the grass, looking around, waiting for the heat to fade away.At this time, he saw a small figure sticking to the outside of the garden fence.

About as tall as Soluman Bronzebeard, but much thinner.

Annan didn't pay attention at first, and continued to search in the grass, and caught an unknown insect and stuffed it into a spider bottle. When he looked up, he found a thin figure still outside the fence, moving with him.

The little boy looked familiar.

After a little hesitation, Annan put the spider bottle under the shade of a tree and approached the fence, but a figure was faster than him.

The girl in maid outfit squatted in front of the fence, stroking the little boy's head, and the gentle comfort came with the wind.

"Sister, I saw my brother..."

The girl helplessly rubbed the little boy's head: "My brother is far away."

"But there he is-"

The girl looked in the direction her brother was pointing at, and saw the head maid standing with a handsome boy who was about her own age.

Surprise appeared in those clear eyes under the sun, while fear and hatred surged together.

The girl hid the strangeness in her emotions, and said to the boy gently: "Do you remember what my brother said when he left? Don't trust outsiders, family members are the ones who really love you."

"That's my brother..."

"obedient……"

……

"Who is that child?" Annan asked the head maid who came to him.

"Looks like Abby's brother."

"Who is Abby?"

"This girl, she was sent here this morning by the Wine Lady."

Annan and the head maid came to the fence.

"Brother! Here we are!"

The little boy cried and shouted to Annan.The maid named Abby stood up and kept the boy behind her.

"He's not our brother."

"He is!" The boy denied his sister loudly, and asked Annan in tears, "Brother, why haven't you come back for so long, don't you want us..."

The girl with red eyes stood up and said, "He's not... our elder brother went to a faraway place."

Annan guessed it was a sad story.

Walking to the fence, Annan squatted down, looked at the little boy at the same level, and said softly, "I am indeed not your brother, you should trust your sister, the family is the one who loves you..."

The boy was still sniffling, neither he nor Annan noticed that Abby stared blankly at Annan's side face after saying this.

The pale golden sunlight in the morning coated the black hair with brilliance, and the face under the trivial silhouette was fair and clear skin.

Annan couldn't let a child who had a tragic experience go unnoticed, so he turned to ask the head maid, "There are many vacant rooms in the manor, right?"

The head maid guessed what Annan wanted to do: "This may make you unsafe."

"A child can't do much. I don't know how long I'm going to live here, so can I let him live in too? It's easy for Abby to take care of him."

"Madam said that everything in this manor is at your disposal."

Just as Annan was about to tell Abby, the maid lowered her head and said, "No...thank you for your kindness. Head maid, may I ask for leave?"

"it is good."

Abby ran out of the manor and left with the little boy who turned her head frequently.

"She doesn't seem to like me very much."

Annan was a little strange.Since coming into this world, very few people hate themselves.

"Abby and her younger brother were born in a chaotic street, and their older brother disappeared when they were young, so they are wary of everyone," said the head maid.

"Guess..."

Annan realized how lucky he was to know Aunt Susan's family...

Back in the grass under the tree, Annan caught the larvae, then took the spider bottle back to the bedroom, stood on the terrace, and looked at the cool snow-capped mountains under the bright sunshine.

knock --

There was a knock on the door, and Annan returned to the bedroom and opened the door.

Wearing elven leather armor, a tall and graceful figure with exotic cheeks and pointed ears stood outside the door.

"I'm Della, the guard Madam arranged for you."

And she is proficient in concealment and assassination.
