A strange world

Chapter 1285 Section 207. Misunderstandings are cleared

"You said the dragon didn't kill innocent people, but when we came in, we saw a pile of bones outside the cave."

"That's me..."

Joan raised her hand timidly. "Those were found by the gnolls in the mine, and I asked them to pile them outside to warn the nearby villagers..."

"There are indeed many old bones." The ranger echoed.

Captain Ryan continued: "Our people have investigated that many mine owners claim to have been robbed by evil dragons."

"Absolutely not! Ilimoyas and I have been together almost all the time. She stays in the cave all day and only goes out at night to catch jackals...wolves...people..."

Joan's tone slowed down, she was a little uncertain: "It should not be...right?"

Ilimoyas didn't want to answer this group of humans who came with malicious intent, but as Annan raised his hand and stroked her chin, Ilimoyas snorted reluctantly: "I'm not interested in the coal they dug."

Annan no longer had the last worry: "I'll guarantee that she definitely didn't rob the mine owners."

Ryan recalled that those mine owners immediately asked for tax reductions after pouring out the bitter water of being robbed, and he had a rough guess.

Compared to them, a blue dragon is more credible.

"So the village massacre was also the dirty water thrown on you by the lord of the Broken Mountains?" Captain Ryan let go of the war hammer.

The Osculus Mercenaries were not assholes who could not distinguish between good and evil, but were also smart people. When a giant dragon did not do evil and was a blue dragon with a tribe, they would not be stupid enough to cause trouble for themselves.

"Uh...Killian Territory and Boy Village belong to us..." Joan said guiltily.

Captain Ryan tightened his hammer again.

"Oh, yes, your guard told me." Annan remembered, "You were forcibly captured by Killian in the wild, but fortunately you met Ilimoyas and rescued you."

Captain Ryan's soft armor-covered palm loosened.

"But Boy Village... was it really done by you?"

Captain Ryan gradually tightened the handle of the hammer.

"We... After we escaped, we first settled near Boyi Village. I went to the foot of the mountain to buy something and found a wanted notice in the village. The villagers arrested me and wanted to hand me over to Killian... A woman asked me to hide in her house at this time..."

Joan was depressed and told the story of how she was saved, betrayed, and desperately waiting to die when Ilimoyas fell from the sky.

"The village chief said that I was more valuable dead than alive, and wanted to hang me. Ilimoyas found out that I had not returned and came out to find me... It was none of her business. It was those villagers who started it first!"

"I see, you are the victim."

Captain Ryan put the warhammer at his feet while Annan was puzzled.

"I have finished asking questions. Although the authenticity cannot be confirmed, I am more willing to believe you than the people here." Captain Ryan said.

"Thank you."

Annan felt honored to be trusted by a paladin.

"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Annan Reeves, the Lord of Liberty City."

After spending a whole day together, Annan did not use the rhetoric that he would use in front of outsiders.

"You are Annan Reeves?" Captain Ryan showed a hint of surprise.

"You know me?"

Annan had been in the Broken Mountains for several days, and no one had seen the magic video. Annan thought they should not know him either.

"I have heard of you. You killed the legendary red dragon warlock of the demon camp and became a squire of the Holy Grail Knight."

Annan said modestly: "I just helped a little..."

Captain Ryan looked at Annan with a look of kindness and respect: "But the kingdom said that you were the mastermind behind the death of the legendary red dragon warlock."

Grand Marshal Galkin was really nice. He would send him another 10,000 muskets another day!

Annan was no longer modest and continued to introduce Ilimoyas and Joan to them.

"She is Joan... Joan Montreal, the imperial princess of the Tatun Empire."

Annan did not expose Joan. Anyway, the empire would not come here to clarify.

The members of the dragon slayer team showed more intense expressions than when they learned of Annan's identity.

They had not heard of the Free City, but everyone knew the Empire... and they could not associate this girl with clean cheeks, dirty skirts, and mushrooms scattered under her feet with the Barbarian Empire...

But it seemed reasonable...

Captain Ryan knelt on one knee, leaning on his war hammer, and saluted Joan.

Joan hurriedly walked forward a few steps, realized that this was against her status, and stopped again, and explained in a panic: "No need to do this, I am working for Annan now, you can just treat me as an ordinary person..."

Their eyes were focused on Annan again.

At such a young age, he had a floating city, his subordinates were the princess of the Empire, and he was in love with a blue dragon... How come I had never heard of such a big man before?

"I'm sorry. Lord Raymond and I were both looking for Ilimoyas. When I learned that you had clues about her, I sneaked out. I couldn't let Lord Raymond find me, so I had to not disguise myself and deceive you."

"It doesn't matter. At least you prevented a misunderstanding." Captain Ryan stood up and said he didn't care.

"What about the commissions you accepted?"

"Just give up. It's just some liquidated damages."

Annan felt bad: "I'll pay for you. You still need to save money to support your hometown, right?"

"It's not a big deal."

Captain Ryan insisted on not taking it, but Annan said that he was still a temporary member of the Oscuras Mercenary Group and should share part of it. Captain Ryan stopped refusing.

"Hello, I'm Luo Fei..."

Luo Fei, holding a doll, came over.

"I just became another person, not a different person." Annan looked at her shy look: "Why do you act as if I don't know you anymore?"

Because Annan changed from the previous "heir of a noble who holds a high position and wealth" to "a noble who holds a high position and wealth".

As long as she can stick to it, Luo Fei can live a noble life of "buying two skeletons of bone dragons, summoning one, and making soup with one"...

But Annan didn't seem to be very interested in her. After a few polite words, he started talking to Joan.

Luo Fei returned to her companions dejectedly.

"Why don't you give up?" the ranger asked her.

"Why give up?"

"Look, a lord came here for the blue dragon, doesn't that prove their feelings?"

"So what?" Luo Fei looked at the blue dragon in the middle of the cave indignantly, "One of them is a human and the other is a dragon, they are destined to be unable to be together--"

Then under Luo Fei's gaze, the blue dragon put away the dazzling mountain of treasures, and turned into a beautiful girl wearing a gorgeous gemstone dress.

Luo Fei was speechless.
