A strange world

Chapter 270 Chapter 123. The buried truth

Annan failed to take away the library map.

Sauron admired Annan immensely and was willing to sacrifice his life for the lord, but on the other side was his teacher - he could only kneel at the door and beg Annan not to take away the library's property.

The number of visitors to the library was increasing, and the shameless Annan had no choice but to put down the map and go out empty-handed.

The city wall in the distance was in full swing, and the second batch of reserve guards were training under the leadership of the Cavaliers. Annan raised his head at this moment and looked at the white dragon leaping into the water in the bay. He responded to the greetings of the residents on the street and came to the beach.

There is a bucket full of sea fish at the boy's feet, and he is taming the white dragon according to the method taught by Annan.

"Your method is very useful, they like it very much!" the boy said excitedly.

Hunting is the nature of living things, but it feels better to get something for nothing.

"Where's the necklace for you?"

"Here it is!" The boy took out a magic necklace from his pocket. It was inscribed with defensive spells and teleportation spells. It was valuable, but it could save him when the white dragon lost control.

"Wear it, it protects you."

Annan "helped" the boy throw a few fish, returned to the street, and met Ingrid who came to find him.

"Where are you going?"

"Uh... dungeon." Actually, he was just wandering around without any purpose.

"You want to go to Della's place? Then ask her what she is doing and why the recently released prisoners are always looking for trouble and letting the guards catch them."

"Also, they previously arrested a person who was transformed into a dog by transfiguration. The dog was proven innocent. Please bring him out too."

"All right."

The dungeon is a place that people don't like, it is naturally full of chaos and blood. However, because of the just laws of Xingyue Bay, no one dislikes dungeons - but there is no reason for people to fall in love with dungeons.

Turning a street, the high walls of the dungeon came into view - strictly speaking, the dungeon of Xingyue Bay should be called a prison, because it was completely built on the surface, exactly like the dungeon in "Betal City Redemption". As for prisoners escaping...the jailer's large earth elemental will knock them out and drag them back to the dungeon.

Annan wondered if this was the reason why the prisoners always came back? They want to "tour the Holy Land"?

The human jailer, who looked like a rooster with his chest puffed out, opened the door and led Annan to Della who was punishing the prisoner: the innocent dog had its limbs tied with ropes and was covered in bruises, while Della held the long whip and looked arrogant. And cool.

"Ingrid said that many prisoners have gone out and come back recently. Do you have any clues?"

"I don't know." Della said.

Annan had no choice but to ask Della to stop: "It's innocent."

"It? You think I'm not human? You eggless-"

Snapped--

The loud sound of the whip echoed in the execution chamber, and Della whipped the air and said, "He is Annan."

"——Women love Jack so much." The tied dog screamed: "Let me be your dog!"

Annan asked the jailer to release Mr. Dog and express his apology: "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. You can go to the political officer to ask for compensation."

"Compensation? Can you give me ten more lashes?"

Well, Annan already has the answer, and then asks Della to stop "punishing" the prisoner.

"No! Mr. Annan, even if I admire you very much, I still want to object to your statement! If the warden is not allowed to carry out the execution, who will be willing to come to the dungeon!"

"Where is your dungeon?"

Annan had no choice but to tell Dela tactfully that the warden did not need to do it personally, she could promote the deputy warden, or do nothing.

Annan, who came out with the bald dog and completed what Ingrit told him, continued to wander confidently, on the pretext of getting rid of the shadow of nightmares and druid warnings. This leisurely state lasted until the evening, when it was shattered by the discovery of the New Initial.

"You won't believe what we saw..." Fast said with an unprecedented seriousness.

…

In the candlelit basement, naked Della knelt down devoutly. A hideous and terrifying shadow slowly emerged - but it was bloated as if covered with a layer of down.

"What is this..." A hoarse whisper came from Dara's mouth.

"What?"

A force prevented Della from raising her head.

"Why haven't you performed a sacrilegious ceremony yet..."

"Mother, I arranged the ceremony according to your oracle, but nothing happened. I think it's because the King of the North is fake..."

"Fake……"

"Yes, there have been rumors in Breeze City that the real Levi's is dead and an impostor is pretending to be him."

"Prepare a new blasphemous ritual... Let the impostor have sex with his sister and let everyone know, or let her and her sister serve the King of the North together..."

"That will take a long time, Mistress."

"It won't be long... The end of the North is approaching, and they will be forced to reunite. You continue to stay here, I want to leave temporarily..."

"Where are you going?"

After asking the question, a dull groan of pain suddenly escaped from Dara's lips.

"This body no longer suits me..."

The bloated shadows and hoarse whispers disappeared at the same time.

…

"Everyone here, every soldier, every noble, all of them don't know that the Skaven are heading north, and they don't know that the Violet Kingdom has been destroyed."

The New Initial followed up with the McKenna Skaven and overtook them, only to find that the town ahead was still quiet.

"You haven't had time to tell them about the approaching rat plague?"

"No... the cavalry from the royal capital came here. They said it was just a group of rat men running around."

Annan frowned: "Have you told them the truth?"

"This is very dangerous..." Francois reminded, "We'd better not get involved in the conspiracy easily..."

Annan was silent. And even if you say it, they may not believe it.

A sailboat of unknown origin docked at the shore, warning of doomsday and disaster when everything was quiet... People would only think it was them who were suspicious.

An invisible force is at work preventing the truth from reaching the kingdom's rightful center. A clan of ratmen has swallowed up the Violet Kingdom and is encroaching on the Rekaner Kingdom, but the dignitaries in the royal capital thought it was just a slightly larger group of rats...

Annan suddenly glimpsed a huge web of conspiracy: the hole under Breeze City, the loss of contact with the gods, the escape of the druid and the prophetic nightmare...

The Skaven have spent hundreds of years laying out their plot, and now, it's time to put it into effect.

"I understand...you stay away from the coast and stay safe."

During the Holy Temple Council, the High King asked the surrounding forces to notify the Kingdom of Rekaner. Now it seems that they failed, and the news was not successfully sent to the royal capital.

The solution Annan thought of was to leave it to a more powerful person: enter the sacred temple and tell the news to the kings. However, the palace can only be opened when a major event occurs, such as the fall of the entire kingdom of Ruikaner - but Xingyue Bay is also within the kingdom.

Then there is only one way left - to take the initiative to cause a major incident.
