Alien world

Chapter 908 Chapter 139. The Deception of the Demon Lord

Annan and the girl danced hand in hand in front of the campfire, and young men and women surrounded him and danced to the music.

Olmedo sat by the campfire, tilting his head to look at Idyllia who was pushed over by Laila, the firelight licking their faces.

Meow meow--

Lily felt that there were too many people here, so she jumped off Idilia's legs and ran outside.

Every household on the street brought out their tables and filled them with prepared food, allowing the guests who attended the dinner, whether they knew them or not, to taste it.

Seeing Lily running over, the shop assistant quickly took out his treasured dried fish and presented it to the "Messenger Lily".

The succubus next to her leaned against the door of the massage parlor, looking at the square in the distance with a dazed look in her eyes. Her graceful figure attracted the man who was swallowing his saliva. She pointed to the sign next to her that said it was open for business. The customer walked away with a dull look in his eyes.

Biting a dried fish, Lily jumped onto the eaves and hopped back and forth on the rooftops where there was not a speck of dust.

Skeleton King was discussing the improvement of gunpowder and golems with Michael and Dumbledore in the Mushroom House. Even if they had no knowledge of the relevant subject, the profound knowledge of a legendary undead was enough to benefit them both.

There was a small gathering of dwarves in front of the blacksmith shop. The dwarves were very wary, but when Bronzebeard brought out barrels of fine wine, they became half-brothers and half-sisters.

The dwarves were so drunk that it was unclear whether the dwarves were carrying the barrels or the barrels were carrying the dwarves.

Several wild dogs suddenly rushed out of the alley and chased Lily, barking.

Lily stopped, let go of the dried fish, raised her head and let out a long cry: "Meow——"

Lily's cry echoed in the night sky, and soon, a burst of cat's meows could be heard all around.

Liberty City is the territory of cats, and the wild dogs immediately tucked their tails between their legs and fled.

Lily picked up the dried fish again, looked at the "thick tree trunk" standing not far away, and continued to run into the distance.

Lilith and the princess sat on the third floor of the newly built Mage Tower, looking out at the bustling square. They had no expression on their faces, and in the moonlight they looked equally cold and gloomy, like a pair of sisters.

As a shadow leaped across the roof, Lilith's emerald pupils began to turn.

Evelyn lay bored on the windowsill, looking at the bonfire in the distance.

The excitement is theirs, while I have to rack my brains to think about tomorrow's newspaper...

"Meow~"

Suddenly there was a soft cry, and Lily jumped from outside to the windowsill, licked her lips, and then lowered her head to wash her face.

Evelyn happily picked up Lily, holding her two front paws, and danced in front of the window to the music and laughter floating in the distance.

……

Annan left the party in the middle of the night and returned to his bedroom.

The red dragon warlock is dead, and the demon lord has fulfilled his promise.

Annan fell asleep and came to the lava lake again.

The center of the lava lake began to boil, and the Demon Lord's huge flaming shadow, like a fire demon, slowly rose.

"Demon Lord, the Red Dragon Warlock is dead!"

It is not accurate to say that she was dead. The followers of the Warlock Protection Association collected Nanako's body and soul for other purposes, but Annan bet that the Demon Lord did not know.

The Demon Lord looked down at Annan, his mouth cracked with magma flowing out: "You didn't let me down..."

"It's time for you to fulfill your promise, souls of my people." Annan looked up at the Demon Lord calmly.

The Demon Lord gradually opened his lava claws, revealing the souls, then he raised his head and stuffed all the souls into his mouth.

With the sound of chewing, the huge sadness was like a long-accumulated flood, drowning Annan. "I was lying to you..." Seeing Annan about to lose his mind, the Demon Lord laughed in a low voice, "There is no soul, maybe this will make you feel better?"

Annan remained silent, but his anger grew stronger and stronger. Finally, as if a thread had been broken -

Annan woke up from his dream.

After waking up, Annan regained his composure.

He came to the window and looked at the face reflected in the glass, which had almost no flaws except for its young age. "You have been prepared for this, right? Annan..."

Fortunately, at least the execution of the Demon Lord's request did not cause Liberty City to suffer heavy losses. Instead, it expanded its strength, turning a disaster into a blessing, and also brought Tashia, Brino Janna and their people over.

The laughter and joy of the people in the square gradually calmed Annan's mood.

The hope of resurrecting the dead was completely wiped out, and Annan had no choice but to take out the leaf of the world tree and prepare to tell the elf mentor the cruel truth.

"Tadel, are you there?"

"I'm here."

It wasn't long before Tedder responded.

"Is Irelanzer here?"

"She is outside the Elven King's Court. Do you have anything to bring to her?"

"Well... her good friend Ymir died under the siege of the ratmen while she was covering the rear during our battle with the ratmen. Please tell her that I'm sorry, I killed her..."

"I understand." Taidel sensed Annan's low mood and comforted him, "You don't have to feel too guilty. Ratmen are also enemies of the elves."

"I know, but after all, Irelancer believed in me and sent Ymir to me..."

"Death is not the end for elves." Tedel paused, "I will go to the World Tree with Irelanze in a while to sense whether Ymir's soul has returned."

"soul?"

"After all elves die, their souls will return to the World Tree. Don't you know that?"

"Uh... I, of course I know, I just don't remember it."

Annan seemed to vaguely remember that the elves were very fond of fatalism. Many elven epics had plots about ancient elves losing their spouses, then finding their spouses' reincarnations and nurturing them from childhood...

Is this good news amid the bad news?

But no matter what, this trip to the floating city made Annan realize that it seemed that he should shoulder some responsibilities.

So he came to Olmedo's office and asked Ingrid, who was still busy, to help introduce the recent situation in Liberty City.

Ingrid first talked about the shortcomings of the floating city: lack of supplies and trade, which can be collectively referred to as lack of contact with the outside world.

All their daily necessities need to be supplied from the outside world, including water and food.

The goods are fine. Currently they can only be transported clumsily and slowly through portals, but as the Mage Tower begins to build portals in various commercial streets, the problem will be solved sooner or later.

Food and water are the big problems. They cannot be produced out of thin air and are essential for maintaining life. These two things alone account for 80% of Liberty City's daily cargo throughput.

Olmedo's idea was to learn from other floating cities how to do it.

As for the benefits, there are too many. Many of the gains cannot be simply quantified and are linked to this action. For example, the aspirations of ordinary people, the gratitude of the rescued, reputation, and all of this...

When bigwigs talk about Liberty City, they will no longer say, "Oh, it's the champion boy's floating toy."
