A strange world

Chapter 788 Section 19. Quartermaster

[Beautiful Miss Quartermaster:

When I first saw you, I had a strange feeling, as if we had known each other for a long time.

It's a pity that at the banquet, our every move was in the eyes of the officials and we didn't have time to talk to you or even get your name. But your presence has been etched deeply into my heart...I can’t help but want to share many stories with you. The life of the aliens in Liberty City, the football festival...

I would also like to talk about what I have experienced since arriving at the Great Wall, but my space is limited and I cannot discuss it in detail in your letter.

Because I have to be stationed at the Northern Great Wall, I cannot leave freely. I hope you can come to the Northern Great Wall and talk to you...

——Annan Levis, July 30 at the Great Wall of the North]

"What does this mean?" Olin, who was holding the letter, raised her head and looked at the strange woman knocking on the office door.

"Annan wrote to me," the quartermaster said.

"I mean..." Olin put down the letter, "Why do you want to show it to me?"

"There are rumors outside that Annan is yours..."

"We are just ordinary friends." Ou Lin interrupted her, remembering that it was a bit unconvincing to say so, and added: "Annan has a better relationship with his ancestors."

"Then this letter..." The quartermaster showed obvious confusion.

"You don't have to think about me, just do what you want."

"I understand, thank you, Sir Orin." The quartermaster took back the letter.

Out of a certain mentality that she didn't want to see Annan cheating too many women, Ou Lin reminded: "Annan won't just be chatting with you, there should be something else that needs your help..."

"OK."

The Quartermaster left the Knights' station and returned to the mansion.

She stared blankly at the poster of Annan reaching forward with "I need you" written on the bottom on the wall of the bedroom. The quartermaster put the letter into his breast pocket and ran to find an old servant.

"I'm going to meet someone..."

"Miss, do you have someone you like?" the old servant said in surprise.

The quartermaster pursed his lips: "Many people like him."

After finishing her makeup, she ran to the coalition camp without stopping. Even with her status as quartermaster of the Ministry of Military Affairs and Annan's invitation, she still passed through the portal and came to the Northern Great Wall after strict scrutiny.

Not long after, Annan, who learned of the arrival of the quartermaster, rushed to the portal camp.

Annan was amazed by the appearance of the quartermaster, but that was all... He spent two months living with the mother and daughter of the Stuart family day and night.

He led her up the steps to the city wall. When he stepped on the top of the city wall, Annan pretended to accidentally mention the issue of material distribution on the city wall: "We have 600 more soldiers than the empire, but the food we receive is only five cents." One... We don’t want to go to war, but we must think of ways to fill the gap.”

But the keen quartermaster was still aware of Annan's purpose. She suddenly stopped where she was: "You're just using me, aren't you?"

Her long hair was fluttering in the wind on the city wall. Facing those determined eyes, Annan couldn't lie: "Well... I really need your help..."

"I understand." The quartermaster put on a businesslike expression, "Please arrange a room for me. I need to prepare it."

"Okay... please follow me."

Annan led her to an empty room next door: "You can stay here first..."

The Quartermaster had already stepped into the house.

boom.

The quartermaster who had locked herself in the room leaned her back against the door and suddenly wiped off the makeup she had put on carefully for several hours. When she was about to continue taking off her skirt——

Knock knock knock…

The quartermaster paused, turned around and opened the door.

Annan stood outside the door with an apology on his face: "Sorry, I just suddenly realized that treating a lady like this is too ungentlemanly, so can you give me a chance to make up for it?"

Noticing the quartermaster's red cheeks and disappearing makeup, Annan said softly: "At least I didn't lie about one thing. I did notice you at the banquet."

The quartermaster didn't speak. Annan vaguely caught something and said nonchalantly: "When we appreciate a person, we appreciate her appearance and heart, not the cosmetics."

"You look even more beautiful now and at the banquet than you did just now."

Finally inviting the quartermaster out, Annan took her for a walk on the wide city wall into the distance.

"Do you see magic images?" Annan asked.

The Quartermaster paused slightly: "I have watched "Betal's Redemption" and "When Freedom Knocks."

She hadn't seen Jack and Potter, which surprised Annan: "Which one is your favorite?"

"'Freedom Knocks on the Door'." The quartermaster said, with some curiosity: "Using orcs as the protagonists... Is this what you thought of when you were filming "Betal's Redemption"?"

"What if I say this is based on real events?"

"Really Chris and Christopher?"

"I just condensed the story of a tribe into a pair of father and son." Annan said the story of the Timberwolf tribe migrating from a distant place. "As for the orc father and son... they did become father and son through this movie in reality. He worked as a porter in Freeport and is now a big celebrity in Freeport, with hordes of fans looking for him every day."

People will always infuse their feelings for the character into his actor, which is why people love Annan. The Quartermaster was no exception - she was a little happy to learn that "Chris" was in good condition and that he and "Christopher" had become a real father and son.

"Do you know how long the coalition forces will be stationed here?" Annan asked casually, looking at the distant northern horizon.

The Quartermaster followed him and said, "Until the Skaven no longer threaten Middle-earth."

"That's really a long time... But I remember that we are just the first batch of coalition forces. More forces will come to the Northern Great Wall in the future. Maybe we will be replaced by then."

These topics made the quartermaster relax... It was difficult for her to talk about boys and jewelry like other noble girls.

In this atmosphere, the quartermaster took the initiative to ask: "The empire has heard that you are the inventor of 'cement'?"

"I just accidentally discovered a stone that can be broken and then solidified into rock." Annan said modestly.

At this time, a group of soldiers hurriedly ran from a distance.

"What's wrong?"

"The empire has issued an order!" the centurion shouted.

Annan nodded and looked at the quartermaster: "Let's go back."

"I can't go through." The quartermaster shook his head, "The Imperial Military Department prohibits us from getting too close to the coalition forces."

Annan frowned slightly: "So my offensive invitation may affect you?"

The Quartermaster shook his head: "You are a bit special. When I contact the Military Department with you, you will only ask me about the process."

"That's good."

Annan did not say hypocritically, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you," but he still showed corresponding concerns.

"Don't worry about me... I will tell the Military Department what happened to you, and the Empire will give you an answer."

"Thanks."

Asking the centurion to send the quartermaster back to the portal, Annan returned to the defense line and learned about the first phase of the plan promulgated by the headquarters: take the initiative to attack.
