A strange world

Chapter 1271 Chapter 193. Dragon Slayer Squad

Annan and Black Widow, who didn't know what was going on outside, spent a quiet night...separately.

In the early morning, after finishing his meditation, Annan ignored the black widow's resentful gaze and felt the active magic vortex in his body.

Very good, I am getting stronger every day, and I am not far away from being a ninth-level warlock!

Annan couldn't help but look forward to what his innate spell would summon. With such a loud movement, it couldn't be pulling the gods behind the barrier, right?

If it's true, Annan should touch Ms. Fortune's toes more...

Maybe it would be better to touch the statue of the cat with the Midnight Maiden and the Spider Queen?

"Let's go and see if Wilson and the others have gained anything."

After using the cleansing technique to refresh themselves, Annan and Black Widow go out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the golden guard from last night standing at the corner waiting for Anan.

"Lord Annan Reeves, the high lord invites you to dine."

"Now?"

Annan looked out the window, the morning sun had not yet risen.

"Tell the great lord that I still need to investigate the clues. Let's wait another day."

Bypassing the hesitant golden guard, Annan walked out of the palace.

"Aren't you going to meet the great lord?"

"I can guess what he will say. There is no need. It is impossible for him to reveal what I want to know."

Annan didn't want to have too much contact with the great lord. He was worried that he would... loosen up as he became familiar with it.

The terrain of the Broken Mountains allows towns to be built only in the basins between the mountains. Every morning, these basins are filled with thick, milky mist that slowly dissipates as the sun rises.

It is said that the fog in some basins is a deadly miasma, causing caravans and passers-by to die silently.

As Annan walked out of the Golden Palace, which is the highest on the ground, the surrounding fog gradually thickened, and the visibility became worse and worse. From being able to see the entire street, it quickly became half a street, a hundred meters, or even dozens of meters.

But it didn't feel deserted. At this time, many people dressed as civilians walked out of their homes. They dragged their tired footsteps and looked numb, walking in the early morning mist, trying hard to survive.

Annan stopped and walked, occasionally turning around, but saw nothing but pedestrians passing by in a hurry.

Even if he couldn't see it, he could still guess that the eyeliner was still following him.

When we were about to reach the block where the Black Reef Tavern was located, a group of guards came towards us.

The young captain who led the team saw Annan and seemed not to recognize him, but deliberately slowed down and turned into a nearby restaurant.

"Are you hungry?" Annan said deliberately.

"A little bit."

"Go in and see if there are any specialties."

Annan walked into the restaurant and ordered some local food for the waiter to prepare.

"grown ups……"

The guard captain standing nearby whispered.

Annan pretended to look at the egg: "Us, right?"

"Yes, sir..."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Um!"

The guard captain was very determined. It seemed that something happened yesterday that Annan didn't know about.

Annan threw a whistle to him: "I'm going to the Black Reef Tavern soon. Don't be too far away. Watch the door. If the lord's spy wants to come in, blow it."

"Okay, my lord."

After a brief contact, the guard captain turned around and left on the pretext of checking the store. Not long after, Annan, who was holding hot food, also walked out of the restaurant, wandered around, and walked into the Black Reef Tavern on a sunny morning when the fog dissipated.

As soon as he came in, Annan saw the joy on Wilson's face.

"Found it?"

"Well, a team of dragon slayers came outside the city last night. As soon as they arrived, they went to the mercenary guild to take over the crusade. It is suspected that they have the location of your friend!"

"I see...how much do you know about that team?"

"The outsiders are from Middle-earth. There are at least three great swordsmen and two great mages in the team, a standard adventure team. Oh, by the way, one of the mages is holding a scepter made of dragon bones."

Five masters, and most likely have the experience of successfully slaying dragons... That is indeed a bit troublesome. After being fully prepared, they were enough to pose a fatal threat to the lone Ilimayas.

Annan couldn't help but become anxious.

"Also, the evidence of the great lord is related to the survivors of Boyi Village. Our people are inquiring about where they are..."

"You did a great job."

Meeting Wilson's expectations, Annan did not disappoint him: "Your spirit is right, but your philosophy is still too immature."

"Childish?" Wilson was stunned.

"Do you want the people around you to be stronger, form a cohesive secret society, and then wreak havoc everywhere in the Golden City?" Annan put an end to Wilson's thoughts.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide it from you."

"You are wrong. Such a small fight will never overthrow the big lord. If you want to change, you must let those who are suffering stand on your side, just like Adele."

"Adele...but she was betrayed..."

Annan lamented: "She is an excellent leader, but she doesn't understand people's hearts well enough. She thinks that her ideas alone will bring people together. But she forgets how fragile human nature is. Just a few gold coins can turn father and son against each other, brothers and sisters. "Cannibalism."

These were among the countless setbacks the Free Blades experienced in the Kingdom. It is this blood and fire that tempers the blade of freedom, making it stronger and sharper.

“So you have to let them see that the future will be built by themselves.”

Annan waved his hand gently, and a portal opened in the tavern.

"Tell Little Smalls that they have something to do." Annan said to the messenger on the other side, and told Wilson: "I will send the backbone of the Free Blade to help you."

"But don't worry, they are just assisting you as instructors, the resistance organization still belongs to you... and Adele."

"Thank you..."

Wilson was about to say something gratefully, and suddenly a whistle sounded outside the tavern.

"The spy is coming in, Wilson, let your people do it!"

Wilson didn't need to repeat it, the resistance behind the door had already picked up the stool and threw it out, giving the stool to the one who pushed the door in.

It's hard to say that this guy didn't do it on purpose.

"Oh, damn."

"You're in trouble! Charlie, you're finished!"

They shouted and tried hard not to laugh.

"I didn't... it's okay..."

A line of blood flowed from Yanxian's nose, and he didn't bother to wipe it off. He was dizzy and wanted to get up: "I want to buy some wine..."

"Do you have the habit of drinking in the morning?"

At this time, a voice with a smile came from above his head.

Yanxian raised his head and saw the target who must not appear in front of him standing in front of him.

He wanted to say something to deny it, but he opened his mouth and hesitated.

Annan looked down at him, chuckled and said: "I'm going to the mercenary guild, will you come with me?"
