A strange world

Chapter 1225 Section 147. Cat and Mouse

Annan, who was thinking hard, returned to the city lord's mansion and did not notice that Gale looked sad and even stopped wagging his tail.

Idiliya went to the school for inspection. Annan found Olmedo in the office and told her about the contact process.

"It seems that the rat elder still knows a little about you." Olmedo said, and he actually thought of threatening Annan and handing him the handle...

Annan is not picky about meat and vegetables, and is not afraid of being accused of colluding with rats, but the Stuhn rats may be worried about being splashed with dirty water for colluding with humans...

"What can we give that the Stuhn rats are interested in?" Annan was still thinking.

"No matter what they want, the core of wanting to corrupt Free City will not change."

"That's right, so we have to give them some foot skin."

"What foot skin?"

"It's those things that are indeed on us, but useless."

"It seems that you and the rats are enjoying this kind of "cat and mouse" confrontation." Olmedo said casually.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener had a flash of inspiration.

"You just said cat and mouse, right?" Annan stared at Olmedo.

Olmedo felt a little uncomfortable under that fiery gaze: "Yeah... what's wrong?"

Why didn't he think of it earlier...

"Cat and Mouse" will cause a sensation no less than the first magic video, and even its influence will far exceed "The Fall of the Mage Tower".

After all, "Cat and Mouse" is really suitable for all ages, and the current Free City is not the original Annan.

"What do you think of?" Olmedo couldn't help but be curious.

"What kind of foot skin for the rat man."

"Evil..."

It's not quite accurate to say foot skin, but it's not really cutting flesh on Annan. Annan, who couldn't find a suitable description, said that it was equivalent to filming the "When Freedom Knocks on the Door" trilogy for the rat man.

So it's a new magic video?

This made Olmedo look forward to it. As the deputy mayor of Free City, Annan can make money by releasing new works... No, it can enrich the city's treasury. As herself, Olmedo certainly has some hobbies.

"Hurry up and create." Olmedo urged, and took the initiative to remove the magic of the door.

"Okay... By the way, are the ratmen craftsmen still in the city?"

"I sent them to the railway... Are there any problems with them?" Olmedo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's not the case. I'm just worried that the Stunn ratmen will take them back. Can they help with the railway?"

"They are not small. Each of them is equivalent to an earth element."

"That's good."

The speed of the railway is a bit slow because the distance is really long and because it is not a high priority among the many projects in Free City.

Construction has already started on the side of Seltovis. Even if both sides are laid at the same time, it will take at least until the autumn of next year for the first operation.

After Annan went out, he did not run to his study to create, but first found Gail to tell her the good news.

As soon as he walked up to the third floor, he met the worried maid Abby, who came to greet him as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Master Annan, Miss Gail is packing her luggage..."

"Pack your luggage?"

Annan was slightly startled and walked to Gail's door.

The door was open, Annan looked around to make sure there was no older single elf hiding in the corner and spying, then knocked on the door and went in.

"Gail, you...what's wrong with you?"

Annan had never seen this gray-haired mouse look like this.

Gail, who always acted proud in front of everyone, seemed to have lost her color, her tail drooped weakly, and her furry ears drooped listlessly, making people feel distressed.

She said: "You didn't reach an agreement with the elders, and the tribe ordered me to go back..."

It's not that simple. The elders asked her to control Annan by force in the end...but Gael, who had been in Liberty City for almost a year, really couldn't do it...she could just say that the corruption assassination failed and go back to accept the punishment of the elders.

"I've thought of a win-win solution." Annan said softly, resisting the urge to touch Gael's ears.

Gale shook his head and said, "You and I both know that you will not betray Liberty City, and the Saints will not change their minds."

"Then let you go back to accept punishment? You are my partner, how can I push you back into the fire pit?" Annan took the luggage from Gale's hand - it was all some shiny and cheap small commodities made in Liberty City.

"Don't worry, I really found a solution. Go contact the rat elder again."

Gale stared at Annan in a daze. The figure was not majestic, even slender, but seemed to be covered with a perfect soft light...

At this moment, Gale felt that he could no longer leave Annan... and Liberty City.

At the corner of the corridor outside the room, Maria, who was leaning against the wall with a dagger wrapped around her tail, shook her head, threw the dagger into her pocket, wrapped her tail around her waist, and turned away.

...

Later, after conveying Annan's request to meet again, Gale followed him to the Mage Tower.

In addition to the two of them, Annan also brought diplomat Francois and apprentice devil Claire to show his importance.

At the appointed time, Annan opened the portal, and the ratman elder wrapped in a cloak appeared on the other side.

"Have you changed your mind?"

"No."

The ratman elder became visibly colder.

"But I have thought of a win-win solution." Annan smiled slightly, "Do you know magic images?"

Francois looked sideways.

Such a familiar sentence pattern...

"Magic images... Of course I know. "You want to take magic images for the Saints?"

"How about it? Is it sincere enough?"

The ratman elder was moved, and the coldness gradually faded: "What kind of story do you want to praise the Saints?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but your image must be positive."

The ratman elder hissed like a venomous snake: "How can you guarantee it?"

"Annan's products must be fine." Annan raised his head proudly, "You can ask around in human society."

The ratman elder looked at Gale, and Gale nodded to it imperceptibly.

It laughed a satisfied "ho ho": "When you are ready, bring the magic stone to me to exchange information..."

"No." Annan refused, "McKenn's ratman has already started the attack, you can tell me after a while, what's the use?"

"You want us to hand over the intelligence first?"

"Of course. You have to know that our efforts are not equal. Intelligence is easy for you, but it is the first step for you to extend your claws to Middle-earth. "

Annan said it very bluntly, and the rat people just like this kind of explicitness.

The rat elders did not object anymore, and they signed a devil's contract with each other: Annan guaranteed that the Stunn rat in the work was a lovable positive character, and the rat elders guaranteed that the information given was true and effective.

"Happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation."

"By the way, which one do you like best?"
