A strange world

Chapter 1052 Section 283. Earthquake in the New Capital

"You've asked the right person! I've witnessed it!" the staff said excitedly.

Because it belonged to the Councillor, in addition to the necessary vigilance, Annan also showed respect.

But no matter how respectable a person is, he can't keep talking for hours.

Annan felt dizzy and dazed, as if an orc had drilled into his brain and demolished it. When he finished speaking, he almost forgot what he had asked before.

Oh, it was the sentence the Councillor said.

The staff's answer was... the Councillor had experienced something similar when he was young, but he chose not to believe anyone, only to believe in his own strength, and then made a big mistake...

The staff knew about the Councillor's youth. Could it be that it had been with the Councillor for decades?

Can't ask... Never ask... Even if you are very curious about the Councillor's past.

"How long have you not spoken?" Annan thought it would be okay to ask this.

"It's been three months. You won't understand how painful it is to not speak for three months. It's like not speaking for three years. You won't understand how painful it is to not speak for three years. It's like not speaking for thirty years. You won't understand how painful it is to not speak for thirty years..."

When the staff went from the Saint Laurent calendar to the Elven calendar and was about to go back to the original God Year... Annan entered meditation.

But meditation can only last for eight hours at most. If the Senate President doesn't come back...

In the evening, Annan ended his meditation and looked at the staff that was still in place. He felt that he was okay again.

"Staff... Sir, were you with the Senate President when he was young?"

But the staff didn't respond, as if what happened before was just an illusion.

Annan tentatively walked to the door. The cold wind was howling outside, and there were blizzards and barriers.

Faintly, the shouts of his men came from the cold wind:

"Master Olme, the Purification Court needs you, come and fight with us!"

Why did the men come to the palace? When thinking about this, the voices in the wind and snow became noisy: "The Free Blade hit the palace, come and help!"

What happened...

Is it a coup? Is there such a good thing?

Not long after, the movement in the wind and snow changed again: "Master Olme, you colluded with the head of the parliament to rebel, now walk out of the lounge and accept trial!"

Annan began to realize that something was wrong and slowly retreated step by step.

This time, it was Renato's voice that sounded: "Master Olme, you disappoint me so much. Come out quickly and explain everything clearly..."

As he moved away from the door, the strange sound gradually disappeared in the wind and snow.

"What is that?" Annan asked the staff, but did not answer.

Think about it carefully, isn't a talking staff as weird as the weird things outside?

Annan looked around the lounge silently.

Haven't I drunk or eaten anything weird since I came in, or is there something wrong with the palace and I have been affected?

As night fell, the magic lights lit up, and the indecipherable conversations, shouts, and roars were still wandering outside.

Annan was suspicious. At a certain moment, they suddenly disappeared.

Not long after, a tall shadow emerged at the door of the lounge.

The president is back, but is he really the president?

"It's over."

The president's voice was a little tired, but other than that, he was still standing tall.

He said to Annan, who was alert: "The sound you heard was a trick of the ratmen."

"Did they dare to make trouble in the palace?"

"I just led them out. They knew you and hated you to the bone..."

"Then... are they all solved?"

"There's only one last thing left." The blue eyes fell on Annan, and the terrifying pressure came instantly: "I didn't expect you to betray the kingdom."

Annan's pupils shrank slightly, but he just took a deep breath and looked directly at the president: "I don't understand."

"You and your uncle have been working for the Free Blade."

The air in the lounge seemed to be sucked out, making it difficult for Annan to breathe.

There are still fish that slipped through the net!

But fortunately, the spy was not someone around him and didn't know Annan's true identity.

Annan took out the words he had agreed with Renato before departure, saying that Uncle Renato had long suspected that there were spies planted around, so he pretended to collude with the Free Blade to lure out the spies.

In order to avoid being injured by mistake and protect the family, Renato asked Olme to come to the new capital to hunt down the Free Blade everywhere.

The invisible pressure disappeared, and the head of the Senate nodded gently: "It seems to be just a conspiracy of spies."

"The trash who surrendered to the rat people is like this, full of lies, and willing to do anything to survive." Annan's face was full of hatred, and he was sincere.

"You go back first, there are still many things to do next."

"Okay, head of the Senate."

Annan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and came to the door. He paused for a moment and stepped into the wind and snow.

"He is a good kid."

After Annan left, a second voice sounded in the lounge.

"It's a pity to kill him. Little Olmedo will be sad too."

"He is an enemy."

Two eyes squeezed out of the mouth of the staff and stared at the councillor: "Little Olmedo is still the deputy city lord. Do you want to kill the last blood of the family?"

"They are enemies."

"Irwin, you are crazy! Your soul has been manipulated by this country..."

The vast magic power surged like a tide, brushing over the staff, the eyes and mouth disappeared, and it turned into an ordinary staff again.

...

Before Annan left the palace, he knew what happened during the day he stayed in the palace: the chairman of the parliament came to the manor of Grand Duke Barbatod alone, captured the Grand Duke, and fought with Kyle and beat him away.

Then the ratmen and corrupted spies appeared in the old capital three years ago and made trouble everywhere, but they were quickly controlled.

Then the chairman of the parliament took Grand Duke Barbatod to the library, beat the curator who wanted to resist into the ground, fished out the half-dead curator and returned to the palace, ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and the city guards blocked the streets, so that people could only enter but not leave.

The huge new capital came to a standstill because of a word from the chairman of the parliament. And the chairman of the parliament, who was in a high position, could make a decision because of Annan's investigation...

Who would have thought that the initiator behind this earthquake was actually Annan?

In addition to being vigorous and resolute, Annan could not think of a more appropriate word to describe the chairman of the parliament.

"Master Olme!"

Just as he returned to the official residence, the palace guards came: "The chairman of the parliament asked you to take full responsibility for the end of this matter. Don't let any spy go."

"Got it."

Reinaldo was not in the official residence. The entire new king was shocked by the sudden action of the chairman of the parliament. He was leading people to impose martial law in person.

Annan, who had more power, hurried back to the Purification Court and handed over two lists: the list of nobles bitten out by Sheriff Milburn and the list of nobles bitten out by Princess Saiers.

Before, Annan was worried about the impact and movement, so he could only bite secretly. Now, while tracking down the rat man's traitor, he can take revenge as much as he wants... No, it should be said that he is getting rid of harm for the people.
