A strange world

Chapter 1251 Chapter 173. Annan arrives at the Broken Mountains

As he walked out of the palace, Killian regained some strength.

The black cloak next to him stretched out a skinny hand, holding a handkerchief embroidered with flower petals.

"I have it myself."

Killian was not very polite to the epic mage sent by his uncle. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped away the dried blood on his forehead.

Mr. Mora didn't care and followed Killian out of the palace and towards his territory.

The first thing that caught his eye was the mess in the territory.

The burning streets were extinguished, leaving nothing but dark ruins. The slave owners in Commercial Street ran away and the slaves were let out. The once beautiful manor is full of traces of being trampled by dragons.

Killian's face turned pale.

Not only did the manor store the taxes of recent months and residents escape, but the prisoners in the dungeon were also let go.

Some of them he had managed to capture with great difficulty, and letting them go would cause him a lot of trouble, especially...

Killian covered his nose and came to the deepest part of the dungeon. As expected, the guy he tortured all day was no longer here, only the unpleasant smell of decay remained.

"Where's Roland?"

he asked the guards who ran back after seeing him coming back.

No one knew, but after returning to the ground, a maid came over and said that it was Ailan who showed the way to the intruders.

"Who is Alan?"

The maid with jealousy in her eyes pointed at the pink-skinned maid whose cheeks turned pale.

Killian looked away and waved: "Make her skin into a blanket and send it to uncle."

The guards dragged away the limp maid, and Killian and the remaining people said: "You abandoned your duties and ran away, but I can give you another chance. Before I come back, put my manor and territory in order."

After finishing speaking, Killian looked at the epic mage sent by his uncle: "That woman must be with the blue dragon. Let's go directly to its lair."

"Blue dragons usually live in groups. If there are more than three blue dragons, I can't deal with them." An indistinguishable voice came from the black cloak.

"Don't worry, that's a lone young dragon. It's the only one nearby."

The skinny hand took back the handkerchief: "Its soul and flesh and blood belong to me."

…

Even Ilimoyas had to admit that Joan had a point.

If you are alone for a long time, what is the difference between sleeping for a thousand years?

"But why you?" Elimayas looked at Joan with scrutiny.

"First, I don't have any ill will towards you. Second, I don't like money. I have no interest in money. I can give you all the money we earn. Third, please..."

"If you follow me, you are betraying that person."

"How can you say betrayal? We broke up peacefully!"

"separate?"

The tingling feeling came again, and Qiong An quickly explained: "It means parting ways without conflict! Just like you and Annan——"

Joan accidentally said the name, but nothing happened.

"We...break up..."

The cave echoed with the whispers of Ilimoyas.

"Have you decided to leave with me?"

"Um!"

"Don't worry about Annan anymore?"

"Who is Annan?"

…

In the open space in front of the cave, a portal appeared out of thin air.

Killian and Mr. Mora stepped forward one after another.

When he stared at the deep cave, Mr. Mora next to him said: "They ran away."

"Run away...?"

Killian, who was ready to avenge his shame, was stunned.

"The giant dragon will arrange intimidating dragon language magic around its lair to warn the approaching creatures. Among them, the red dragon is the most willing to carve out territory."

"There is no dragon power here. Either the blue dragon is dead or they ran away."

"That's enough..."

Killian dug into his fist, his nails digging into the flesh.

Isn't she the princess of the barbarian empire? She can actually run away!

Or does she know something?

"Don't worry, Master." Mr. Mora said, "They are still in the Broken Mountains and cannot escape."

Killian asked hurriedly: "Do you know where they are?"

The voice in the black cloak, which was neither male nor female, let out a creepy laugh.

"That's why I'm here..."

…

When Joan eloped with Elimoas, Annan broke into the Broken Mountains.

The Broken Mountains are really unknown - at least in Annan's eyes, the Broken Mountains viewed from a high altitude are like black broken swords, existing abruptly in the land of Middle-earth, like an ancient battlefield full of broken swords.

He was already very close to Ilimoyas.

The needles of the prophetic compass are no longer accurate because they are too close, and they can only tell Annan a general direction - right here.

But where to start looking?

It is said that the Broken Mountains are rich in minerals, and it is indeed possible for Ilimoyas to come here...

Annan rode the white dragon and landed in a commercial town on the edge of the Broken Mountains.

News of a magician riding a giant dragon came to the town and spread quickly. Ordinary people didn't care about the "shame of the dragon clan" or "a dragon inferior to a dragon". They naturally regarded Annan as a big shot. .

Annan "parked" the white dragon outside the town and asked the guards to find some fish to feed it. Then he stretched out his hand to touch the white dragon's head and told it not to run around, not to eat fish given by outsiders, and not to eat fish that looked like humans - -No speech problems.

As he walked into the town, he was greeted by the bustle of the streets.

As a small town connected to the Broken Mountains and the outside world, a large number of commodities are gathered here. There are minerals, and there are also... slaves who are treated as livestock.

This seems to be unavoidable...

Annan can only leave it alone for now and investigate the traces of Ilimoyas.

Encountering the pastor of the Church of Wealth preaching in front of the pulpit, Annan stopped and listened for a while.

"What are we working for? For a better life. And wealth is the ladder for our life to move forward! Money is the nobility of the world, money is the law of all things, money is the measure of all things, with money, you can have everything!"

The pastor shouted passionately like an orator.

At first, Annan thought the pastor's speech was great and planned to donate a silver coin to show respect for the goddess; in the middle of listening, Annan felt that the teachings of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth were contrary to his own views, but he was still willing to maintain a friendly relationship with the goddess. In the end, Annan not only gave up donating money, but also pretended to donate money at the beginning of the fundraising and stole a few silver coins from the cash box.

Taking advantage of the chaos to leave the lecture venue, Annan continued to wander around the town, looking for the location of the tavern.

Before he found the tavern, the rumor of the dragon slaughtering the city reached Annan's ears.

Dragon, slaughtering the city?

That must not be Ilimoyas.

"The princess of the empire..."

The words that came over made Annan stop.

Usually, the "empire" mentioned in Middle-earth generally refers to the Tatoon Empire. And the princess of the empire... is a member of the royal family named Montreal.

How could the empire come to such a remote place?

Then Annan realized that the "remote place" actually refers to himself. The Broken Mountains are indeed desolate, but in the middle.
