Alien world

Chapter 843 74. Questioning and Solving

In any case, Broken Tooth's death is a fact.

Annan issued four orders in one breath: tell the Tatooine Empire the news, put pressure on the Orr Empire, and clear up Broken Tooth's name.

And let Henry come for a visit.

Even the unkind Swaro was aroused by the evil deeds of the Orr Empire and was willing to take the initiative to visit the empire.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Francois was in the Land of Eternal Night at this time. Evelyn came over. Annan told the story of the broken tooth again, and combined the two matters of pressure and name clearing to Evelyn, asking her to emphasize them. The hardships of escorting a boy with broken teeth and the tragedy of death.

"Abby, go to the tavern and ask Losey to bring the bard." Annan said to the maid Abby who was hiding outside the door and did not dare to come in.

The bard knows more and might be able to help.

As a result, as soon as Abby went out, Losi hurried back with an anxious look on his face: "Master Annan, the bard is missing!"

"What do you mean missing?"

The identity of the bard is unpredictable, but he probably means no harm.

"A portal opened in your room just now." Lilith said.

"Did there be magic fluctuations in the city just now?" Annan asked her.

Henry knew Broken Tooth, and even had a good relationship - he always made jokes about "when you die, I will resurrect your corpse into a skeleton", but he didn't expect it to actually happen...

Losey looked at the broken tooth and the boy's body, and said in confusion: "The story... is it true?"

"Ah."

It's not a magic? But how did he make the professionals in the tavern, including the spell casters, lose consciousness at the same time?

"Broken tooth? How does it..."

After looking at Lilith's projection, Annan looked away.

"Not this, over there in the tavern."

"The Orr Empire?"

The Necromancer also rushed over.

Annan frowned and walked to the window: "Lilith!"

crunch--

"Ah."

"There's nothing else to do..."

"I'll explain it later. Is its soul still there?"

"No."

Losey's leather gloves clenched.

"He talked about a tune, and everyone in the tavern was confused by him... When they woke up, he was gone."

Not long after, the mage tower projected a projection of a beautiful girl through the window.

Henry opened his alchemy bag, sprinkled some phosphorus powder on Broken Tooth's faded gray fur, and shook his head solemnly.

"Where's the kid?"

Henry repeated, raising his head in surprise: "The boy still has weak soul fire!"

"Resurrect him!"

Henry was already doing it. The aura of necromancy surged in the office, and a faint line of sight came from the distant mage tower, and then moved away.

As the spell fell on the little boy, a weak and tiny pure white soul floated up.

But Henry still frowned and cast an identification spell.

"Half the battle, it's 'The Wandering Soul.'" "What do you mean?"

"This soul has no consciousness, it is just a 'body'..."

"Be more specific."

Annan had never hated himself for being so ignorant.

"It's...a pure alchemical material. Aren't there a few devils in the city? They know best..."

So she’s almost like a princess?
It's just that the princess has a body without a soul, while the little boy has a soul without consciousness.

Annan tried to call out, but there was indeed no response from the young soul floating on the boy's body.

"Broken Tooth is given to you."

Annan remembered that Broken Tooth had signed a voluntary contract to transform the undead. Although it is dead, its bones will live on in Liberty City forever, "The boy's body...I remember his name was Lit? Abby, go call Olmedo to get up and ask her to find the boy's family."

Only then did he have time to continue talking to Evelin: "Today is the publication day? Has this issue of the magic newspaper been printed?"

"It doesn't matter, we can just add an issue in the middle. I have a lot of manuscripts, so I can make it in time." Evelin promised, patting her chest.

……

August 10th, morning.

For many, it’s just an ordinary morning.

For some Annan fans, today is the day when a new issue of "Voice of Freedom" is released.

As a result, the news on the first page brought a big earthquake to readers: "The Orr Empire brutally killed coalition soldiers and civilians on the northern front."

From the streets to the taverns, from the manor to the city hall, people everywhere were talking about the warriors in the north and grieving for the boy named Li Te.

Oh, and there was also an unlucky ratman who defected to humans but was killed by his own people.

This guy's last sentence "I have seen the most despicable rat people and the noblest humans, so I turned to the light, but you have brought shame to humans."

The situation was somewhat different from what Annan thought, but it was not a big problem. The matter continued to ferment rapidly and spread outward with the commercial territory of Liberty City as an anchor. In less than half a day, half of China knew the news.

Alchemy changes the world, and so can mages.

With this kind of attention, the response of the Paige was quickly spread through the mages: "He is lying! What the rat said was that it had the instinct to escape, but it was afraid of being framed as a deserter and causing damage to Liberty City!"

Then the boy's identity was discovered: he was the youngest son of a lord in the Bogdan Feng Kingdom, and he secretly followed his elders out. The power of Bogdan Maple Kingdom was captured by the Skaven, and he was the only survivor... Ironically, it was the Skaven who saved him, and the one who killed him was indeed a human.

The Chinese people who were still waiting and watching suddenly became excited, criticizing the brutal actions of the Orr Empire, and slandering an eight-year-old child as a spy and a deserter?

Even Elder Tedder of the Elven Court came out and commented: I thought there was a civil war between two waves of humans in the north.

Liberty City’s cultural prowess is on display at this moment.

As a Middle-earth person, you may not know who the Thirteen High Kings are or which clan the Skaven invaders from the north belong to, but it’s hard not to have heard of Magical Image or Voice of Freedom.

At noon, the envoy of the Orr Empire, Duke Kingsley, who was visiting the Montreal Mountains, responded: He would deprive Paig of his status as a frontline commander and send him back to the Orr Empire.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Annan frowned as he watched the Orr Empire admit its mistake: "That's it?"

"Isn't it enough?"

Olmedo holds coffee. She had not slept well these days because of the war in the north. Annan finally became more diligent and said that he would be responsible and let her go to bed early... and then woke her up late at night.

"Far from enough." Annan shook his head.

The prisoner was not punished, he was just a mildly "deprived frontline commander"... Everyone knew that the position itself was temporary.

The one named Peg got away with it.

"But the envoy was very smart. They did not wait for the situation to become irreversible and then appear disgustingly with the arrogance of the aristocracy. Instead, they lowered their posture. No matter how aggressive we are, it will only arouse the dissatisfaction of some people."
