Alien world

Chapter 998 Chapter 229. Arrogant at First and Respectful Later

Children of the North... maybe it's true?

If you look at life from Martin's perspective, he lived a life of plenty before the age of sixteen, had a loving pair of parents, and an elite warrior boss.

When he turned sixteen, a cousin suddenly appeared and brought him a wealthy life. He took him to escape the catastrophe, became a resident of a floating city, and had a wife and children.

Martin did nothing and yet he got the happiness that many people desire.

Isn't this lucky?
But doesn’t this mean that Aunt Susan is the mother of the North, and Uncle Hollin is the father of the North…

"Here we are."

Maria's voice pulled Annan out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh."

Annan raised his head and looked at the cell in front of him where the Purification Chamber spies were held.

When they entered the cell, they saw the city guard officer accompanying an official from the military department.

He brought a number of people with him and listened to the city guard officer describe the process of catching the spy.

Annan and Maria passed by them. The spy in the cell had been simply bandaged and was sitting there with a pale face.

Annan looked at him and said, "Tell me everything you know."

The spy raised his head and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a cold roar from behind him.

"Step aside!"

Annan turned around and saw the military official's men shouting.

As soon as his golden eyes narrowed, Annan remembered his identity and quickly stood aside.

The official walked straight to the cell and looked down at the spy with arrogance: "Tell me everything you know."

The spy talked about the composition of the Purification Chamber: their purpose was simple: to find the Free Blade and purify it, as well as to infiltrate the Free Blade and obtain the plans and list of members.

They follow the orders of the eight judges.

"Who is your judge?"

"In the Purification Court, we don't use our real identities..."

The identity of the Inquisitor was not something that a nobody like him could know.

"Do you know any other accomplices?"

The spy showed a hint of hesitation.

The officer caught his resistance and warned: "If you say nothing, it's worthless. But the more you reveal, the less culpable you are."

"We are the Freeblade, you can trust us."

This made the spy feel relieved and confessed: "I... I know two more, but they are not in this camp."

"Just two..." The official was a little disappointed.

"They must know more!" The spy said anxiously, trying to clear himself of the crime.

"it is good."

The official nodded, tilted his head and said to his men, "Write down the two people he mentioned. Don't alert them. Arrest them secretly late at night."

Leaving one person behind to continue the interrogation in case the spy had any secrets that had not been revealed, the officer turned around and prepared to leave the cell, but his eyes suddenly froze when he swept over Maria.

"what?"

Then it became scorching hot.

"You guys go out first."

The city guard looked at Annan, then at the official, and reminded him, "Sir, he is the nephew of the military minister..."

"I understand, you guys get out." the official said impatiently.

The city guard officer led his men out of the cell in a dilemma. The official put away his passionate look and looked at Annan with a look of doubt.

"You are..." Realizing that he had been recognized, Annan stopped pretending to be himself: "Recognized?"

“I was just a little skeptical just now, but now…” The official hid all his arrogance and lowered his head respectfully.

"Do you know Maria?"

"No... that was a lie." The official hid all his arrogance and said humbly, "I have met you before in Breeze City."

That's really a coincidence, and it seems that just changing the hair color and eye color is not enough to make people unrecognizable.

I wonder if there is such a thing as an "ordinary potion"...

However, Annan found the official's change of heart funny and quipped, "Why are you so arrogant at first and respectful later?"

The official was as shy as a boy next door: "You are Lord Annan, it is not shameful to bow your head."

Annan almost thought he had watched Let the Magic Fly. The premiere date announced was not until the day after tomorrow, and at this time, only the people of the Kingdom had seen it.

"Go and report to Renato, and remember not to tell anyone about my existence." Annan reminded, just in case.

"As you say."

Annan left the cell with the officials' reluctance and took Martin back to the military minister's residence.

Renato returned late at night and Annan told him that the officer had recognized him.

"You mean Hisham?" The military minister hesitated for a moment. "He is a knight who is very interested in the teachings of the Free Blade. I think he can be trusted."

"That's good." Annan began to think.

"what happened?"

Annan replied: "I'm just wondering whether to use him."

Hisham is a little arrogant, but it's not a big problem.

"Let time tell everything," said the Minister of War. "Guests are coming."

"Who is there?"

Annan learned about it in advance. Those who were qualified to have a private meeting with the Minister of Military Affairs late at night were either members of parliament or the head of the Knights Templar.

This made Annan feel that choosing the Minister of Military was the right move... Speaking of chess pieces, should he use Elimayas' "Apocalypse Forecast" to touch them again?
Late at night, guests arrived one after another. After seeing Annan's excitement, these high-ranking guys discussed how to cooperate with the Free Blade to recruit members and control the kingdom.

They unfolded a map, and the red color represented by the Free Blade dyed the entire border and half of the kingdom red. The troops were still gathering here, and it was expected that they would be able to arrive at the city within two months.

This kind of war without the smoke of gunpowder and the speed of advancement did make them a little uncomfortable, but the good side was that all they needed was time, time for the Free Blade to encroach on the inland from the border and surround the new capital.

So until the Free Blade arrives, they just need to continue recruiting members.

"Is there anything I can do?" Annan asked.

The military minister said, "You don't have to do anything. Just let us rest assured that you are here."

Like a mascot.

"Ok."

Although Annan came to confront Clo, the longer it dragged on, the more the Free Blade would be strengthened and the kingdom would be weakened.

After seeing off the guests, Annan asked the military minister, "Can I go out for a walk?"

The military minister could not restrict Annan's actions, so he could only remind him: "But be careful, you have been recognized once."

So this time Annan planned to paint his face black and add some Evelyn-style freckles to ensure that even people who were familiar with him would not be able to recognize him.

However, before leaving, Annan still needed a guide, a local who was familiar with the new capital.

The Minister of War could not give advice on such matters. He was standing too high, and the clouds blocked his view of the ground.

The military minister's nephew - a real nephew who liked to have fun in the city, recommended a guide to Annan at the suggestion of his uncle.

"He has been in the slums for a few months. He definitely meets your requirements." The nephew, who thought Annan was really his "cousin", said casually.
