A strange world

Chapter 781 Section 12. Holy Temple Council

After several months, the Seat of Mud is still vacant.

Annan looked around and found that he had advanced one row further, reaching the sixth row from the bottom... or the seventh row from the bottom.

He saw Khamis VI who raised his head and looked around for him. He discovered Annan, and then showed a mixed emotion. He seemed happy that Annan's potential was beyond imagination, but disappointed that the gap between him and Annan was further widened.

So Khamis VI just waved and didn't talk to him again.

On the contrary, the surrounding lords and monarchs who noticed Annan made a sound of surprise.

"Jack?"

"Annan Potter?"

"Dracula?"

He just didn't tell Annan's real name.

After surprise comes shock. They remembered that Annan was just the lord of a city-state... and that was how he ranked among them?

"Hello, Annan. I am Yunus Makha, and you have a theater in my capital."

The middle-aged man beside him stretched out his hand to Annan.

"I know you, the Principality of Maca, right?"

An Nan's smile suddenly became distant.

Grand Duke Yunus Maca is a careful person. He guessed what happened instantly: "I understand...you were deceived by people from the principality, right..."

"You don't know?" His tone made Annan confused.

Grand Duke Yunus Makha sighed: "There was a crisis in the Principality. In order to survive the crisis, my ancestors allowed merchants to trade in the name of the country and wrote it into the law. We protect their safety and they pay taxes normally... Although the principality has successfully survived the crisis, some cunning businessmen have also emerged..."

Annan said nonchalantly: "Well, it's actually nothing. It's just that a few stupid guys came and asked for a batch of Fast Pants and broke the contract for hundreds of gold coins."

In fact, Liberty City still made a profit - it made a deposit of dozens of gold coins.

Grand Duke Yunus Makha pondered for a moment: "I will send the remaining money to your theater..."

Annan did not refuse: "Then I will send the goods over."

"No, just think of it as my apology." Grand Duke Yunus Maca refused.

The Grand Duke may not be as innocent as he says, but his overtures are genuine.

Annan readily accepted and met several other people one after another. One of them happened to not be radiated by the theater. He and Annan agreed to open a theater in his territory after the parliament.

Not too many MPs know Annan or chat with him, but as long as Annan moves forward a few more and reaches the front row, he will receive real attention if he shows potential.

However, Annan remembered that some rat spies often appeared in the Holy Council... and it was estimated that assassinations would also appear one after another.

"Due to the changes in the McKean clan in the north this time, I propose that the countries in Middle-earth and the north form a coalition to stop the tide of rat people and demons at the border."

The person who opened the sacred temple was indeed the King of Bones, the Emperor of the Tatooine Empire.

While the council was busy discussing, Annan suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.

"Kingdom of Ruikanl~"

Annan called softly, and the back moved, suppressing the urge to turn his head.

It seemed that he knew Annan was sitting behind him.

Annan couldn't help but remember that when Crow first became king, he sat in the front three rows of the sacred hall with great glory, and he was the last one. But now, he advanced to the seventh row, and he fell to the fifth row.

It won't be long before they can sit together...

"Sorry." Annan lay on the table, apologized to the lord in the front row who had chatted with him before, and stretched out his hand to poke Crowe's back.

"You seem familiar..."

Several nobles around were watching the fun - of course they knew the grudges between Annan and the Kingdom of Ruikan'er.

However, Crowe didn't look back, and the fog that shrouded his figure even appeared.

Annan sat back in his seat and deliberately said to Grand Duke Yunus Maca in a voice that Crowe could hear: "Grand Duke Yunus, it's still early for me to come to the Holy Council. Do you know that you can kill people here?"

Grand Duke Yunus Maca narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The sacred eye connects us through dreams, and we can't hurt each other."

"That's a shame..."

But if the Divine Eye was so powerful, it would have started killing people long ago when it was in the hands of the Skaven.

"Do you know?" But Annan continued, "He sent two legends to destroy Liberty City. But he didn't expect that the ancestors of the Montreal Golden Family were guests at the city lord's mansion. One of the two legends was killed and the other was injured..."

"That's really asking for death..." Grand Duke Yunus Maca said cooperatively.

His territory is in the south, and he is not afraid of the Kingdom of Rekaner at all.

The irony is that if it weren't for Annan, many of their countries and territories would have never heard of the Kingdom of Rekaner.

Thanks to Annan's continuous insinuations for two consecutive years, most of the Middle-earth knew that there was an evil Kingdom of Rekaner in the north - also named Montreal.

"You must be curious why Crowe hates me so much, right? Because I am a survivor... That was three years ago..."

Annan slowly told the secrets of the past to the MPs around him who looked like they were listening.

The Thirteenth Supreme King said it in front, and he said it in the back.

With the end of the Parliament and the plan of the coalition led by the Empire finalized, Annan returned to Liberty City with unfinished business.

Annan knocked on Olmedo's door and went to Itilia's room with her to tell them about the parliament.

To be honest, Liberty City was relieved that the Empire stepped up.

The McKeon clan has made Liberty City nervous, but the Empire may not care at all... In the long history of the Golden Family and the thousands of years since the Empire was established, what kind of crisis have they not encountered?

New day, new everything.

When Evelin ran to the City Lord's Mansion, Annan was dining in the restaurant.

"This is today's "Glory of Rekaner"!" Evelin handed the newspaper to Annan.

"What did they say?"

Annan thought of last night's experience and picked up the newspaper.

[We are invincible, our kingdom is strong and just, our people are wise and calm, beware of the lies of rat spies! 】

"What do they mean?" Annan raised his head.

“We were worried that we would accuse them of something, so we lied to our own people first.” Evelin kept laughing.

They tell so many lies that they themselves believe them.

Annan shook his head, and then Evelin stuffed a notebook into his hand.

"Where's our new joke?" His bright eyes stared at Annan.

Annan lived up to Evelin's expectations and took the quill.

"In a college in the new capital of the Kingdom of Rikaner, a professor taught his students: 'The Kingdom of Rikaner is the most powerful country in the north, with sufficient supplies, fair laws, no corruption and crime, and people don't need to be afraid of rat men. 'The students in the audience cried loudly: 'Professor, we don't want to stay in the new capital anymore, we want to go to the Kingdom of Ruikan'er!'"
