Alien world

Chapter 996 Chapter 227. I am Rose the Spider Queen
In the inner city of the new capital, the Purification Court.

The magic lamp emitted a hazy glow, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the hall.

The Inquisitor stared at his men who were as silent as a mouse, and said in a rough voice that was colder than the snowy mountains, "So, you want me to believe that you let a group of carefully trained undercover agents be killed one by one by a sentry who remembered the wrong password?"

The key point is that their plan was exposed. They came out of the dark and into the light. The group of Free Blades hiding in the city guards must have known that they had been discovered.

The subordinate answered with a stiff face: "Your Excellency the Inquisitor, in order to infiltrate the city guards, we arranged for non-professionals to join us. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred... We later found out that the sentry on the watchtower at the time was the nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs."

The Inquisitor, who didn't want to listen to his subordinate's explanation, gradually calmed down after hearing this: "Reinaldo's nephew? How come I didn't know that he had a nephew, and he even let his nephew serve as a sentinel in the city guards."

Or did Renato know about the actions of the Purification Chamber and warn them in this way?

The Kingdom's military ministers are on the side of the Free Blade...?
The Inquisitor was shocked by his own conjecture.

If even such a big shot could be won over, wouldn't the entire kingdom be corrupted! ?

"Don't tell anyone what happened today. Leave."

The men breathed a sigh of relief. No one would publicize their failure. It was great that those who survived were neither killed by the sentinels nor punished.

They left, leaving the Inquisitor to wonder: Is it too late to join the Freeblade...

……

"Ma'am, you have a beautiful voice."

"Really? Then do you want to hear me screaming all night long?" The noble and plump lady looked at him seductively.

"Uh... my uncle asked me to go back early." Annan pretended not to understand the lady's hint.

"It's okay, just give me a few minutes."

"My uncle is calling me!"

Annan made an excuse to leave, bypassed the enthusiastic lady and said, "My skirt seems to be untied, can you help me?" and ran back to Renato who was talking to his friend.

"The food from the south will also become...sorry." Renato apologized to his friend first, then asked with a kind look at the younger generation: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, just a little tired."

Said Annan, who plays the nephew of the military minister.

Renato felt a little offended when Annan proposed this, but he didn't care. This made Renato grateful and relieved, as it seemed that he really would not be liquidated after the war.

"Is this your nephew? I have a daughter who is about her age..."

"He is engaged." The Minister of War, who knew what Sir Smalov was going to say, said in advance.

Sir Smarov expressed regret and picked up the wine glass beside him: "Let's talk about it later."

"See you later."

Sir Smarov walked away, and Annan looked at his back: "Is he one of ours?"

"It's difficult. He is in the food business and has made a lot of money because of your blockade."

"Got it, vested interests?"

The military minister chewed on the words and nodded: "His business relies on the kingdom. Unless it comes to the last moment, I'm afraid he won't stand on our side."

He changed the subject and asked Annan how the banquet went.

"It's boring."

The banquet not only invited the nobles who had joined the Free Blade, but also the acquaintances that Renato was trying to win over, had not yet won over, or were not worth winning over. This meant that Annan, who was "Renaldo's nephew", could neither advertise Liberty City nor promote magical images.

Due to the military minister's vigilance, the people who knew Annan's true identity were limited to those loyal to the Free Blade.

"The nobles cannot be trusted. They can betray us at any time just as they betrayed the kingdom. It is best not to let them know of your existence."

"Sir, can I invite you to dance?" a female voice sounded from the side.

"No... of course." Annan changed his tone after recognizing Maria's voice, smiled at the military minister, held Maria's hand, and walked into the dance floor facing the jealous eyes of the crowd. It was as if the hero and heroine in the story appeared on the stage, and the musicians beside him changed to soothing music, which seemed to be a variation of "The Fall of the Mage Tower".

"I had always imagined this scene..."

Because of the height difference, Maria could only lower her head and whisper in Annan's ear.

"I thought we were enemies at that time," Annan said with a smile.

"Indeed, but that's exactly why it's so impressive, isn't it?"

"yes……"

How could a strange princess from a foreign country be more attractive than a witch who is both her friend and her enemy?

Of course, it would be even better if the witch had some dragon blood or other alien blood...

Maria was a rat person, she was destined not to be dominated by emotions for too long. After dancing a song, she lowered her head and whispered the purpose of inviting her to dance.

"I met a member of the tribe on the way here. It seemed to have misunderstood my purpose and warned me not to interfere in the palace."

"It seems that the Stoon clan is really related to that king?"

"Even if they don't, they will have to take action soon."

"I see... How did they sneak in? Is it the same way you did it?"

"Well, we will be assigned different roles. Guard, Madam, Scout..."

"You were the lady at first?"

"Well, I'm the Madam and Dela is the guard."

Deila...

This name touched Annan's heart.

A month after Dela lost contact, they found out that it was a succubus that took her away. The only known information is that succubus don't kill so indiscriminately, and have a habit of transforming captured women into succubus.

On the bright side, maybe they will meet again, and by then, Della might also be a succubus...

It's a bit emotional to think about this. Della, who is half elf, transformed from a ratman to a half-elf, and then from a half-elf to a dark elf. Maybe she can become a succubus in the future.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the dance floor and separated Annan and Maria in the ladies' happy eyes.

"Sir, the city guards..."

He leaned close to Annan's ear and whispered something, which shocked Annan so much that he turned pale from morning to night.

"What's wrong?" Maria asked.

"follow me."

There was no time to explain. Annan took Maria to talk to the military minister first, and then followed the messenger into the room outside the banquet hall.

"Tell me the details," Annan said.

The messenger recounted what had happened to the city guards not long ago.

Annan's expression changed from worry to nervousness to weirdness.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but Martin...shooting arrows, killing people, or more than a dozen?"

"Ok!"

"I am Rose, the Spider Queen. Believe in me and I will turn you into a dark elf as a priestess when I return from the Abyss."

"Stop joking..."

"You opened it first."
