A strange world

Chapter 1056 Chapter 287. The fucking truth

"Lily..."

Annan tilted his head, and Maria realized that this was a false name Annan had given herself, and she stood with Annan.

The tough, hairless rat tail slipped from her waist and wrapped around her thighs.

"She is the 'guard' sent by the clan to protect me."

Barbatos couldn't close his mouth. His subconscious refused to believe it, but who would bring a ratman guard into the dungeon...?

"You can trust him. Behind Young Olmei is Elder Ironbite of the Council of Elders."

Maria said, and Annan added: "Which faction are you from? Or do you work for the McKeon clan?"

Thanks to Gale, Annan knew everything about the Stuen clan. Even if the champion rat is in front of him, he still has to listen to him in a daze.

Barbatos had already half believed it, and said with sadness and anger: "Since you are one of our own, why would you--"

"Because you have been exposed." Annan looked pitiful. "You don't think that I, the president of the Purification Tribunal, can persuade the chairman of the parliament to investigate the dusty Princess Sayles case and let him arrest the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, do you?"

Babatado opened his mouth: "You can also remind me..."

"I reminded you." Annan said more and more smoothly: "I went to your manor to remind you not to act rashly recently, and I even left Faro... but you didn't seem to realize it."

Babatado has been deceived by Annan and is full of regret. I wanted to complain about why Annan didn’t explain it clearly at that time, but if I explained myself clearly, wouldn’t I be dragged into the water?

"Okay, you have one last chance to ask questions."

Annan made a gesture of looking at his watch. Babatado didn't understand, but he guessed that he was urging himself.

He still had many questions, but when push came to shove, the fear of death took over.

"I can still live..."

"No, the evidence of you colluding with the Saints... colluding with the rat people is conclusive, and no one can save you. But..."

Desperate, Babatado raised his head again.

"You have done so much for our Holy Clan, I can protect your descendants."

"Thank you, thank you, sir..." Babataud also had to thank Annan.

He captured the details and asked tentatively: "What are you...?"

Now that things have happened, Annan no longer pretends, he shows his cards right: "I am a rat man."

Babatord and Maria looked at him in shock.

"I am a gray-haired rat priest. I am telling you this to warn you, don't try to betray me... The saints will try their best to rescue me, but your tribe's stuff..."

"I understand, I understand..."

Annan was satisfied with Babataud's cooperation, and he said, taking out the parchment: "Tell me everything you know, and let me deal with the president.

"What should I say?" Babataud asked quickly.

"Regarding the whole process of the Princess Sayles case, why did you instruct your men to murder the princess."

Babatado was ready to die, but he didn't want to take the blame that didn't belong to him, so he quickly defended: "It wasn't me, it was the king himself who gave the order!"

"Hiss..." Annan gasped, causing the temperature of the dungeon to rise imperceptibly.

This way everything corresponds.

The divine turmoil had just begun and Annan had just arrived in another world. The two heirs of the kingdom, the eldest prince and the second prince, competed for the throne.

Behind the eldest prince are the rat men, and behind the second prince are the conservatives.

When Annan was still playing the fake King of the North and competing with old Augusta, they were evenly matched.

Then when Annan became the lord of Xingyue Bay, changes occurred in the royal capital: first, the king suddenly died of illness, and then the second prince colluded with the rat people. He and his supporters died, and they rebelled.

However, Asimov had a backup plan and sent the phylactery containing the soul of the second prince to Xingyue Bay in his remnant body.

During this period, Annan went to the royal capital to warn the king of the incoming rat-men, met Princess Seles, and led a team to investigate the rat-men.

On the other side, Crowe brought the kingdom together with the slogan "Let the ratmen break the old order and make the Kingdom of Rekaner great again", and watched the ratmen go all the way, leading to the fact that Rekaner was the only one in the north who could resist the McKean clan. Your kingdom stood idly by, killed the Holy Grail Knight, and surrendered the Snow Mountain Fortress.

In the end, he took the remaining people and hid on the west coast, which would not affect the activities of the McKean clan in the north, but also allow the kingdom to continue to be weakened, and eventually become nutrients for the ratmen.

Now, Crowe is useless, but a waste is still needed to occupy the throne to prevent the kingdom from returning to its glory, so Crowe is getting more and more lethargic, and his waking time is getting less and less...

As a king, Crowe is unqualified. As a rat-man spy, he almost maximized the profits and made the McKean clan a lot of money, making the McKean clan, which was originally ranked in the middle of the thirteen clans, almost reach the top three.

The only question is, what role does the Speaker play in this?

Skaven, kingdom, family?

"You don't know...?"

Annan's reaction made Babatado suspicious again.

Annan came back to his senses and said solemnly: "This is not the plan of the Council of Elders. You were deceived by Crowe."

"Hiss..." It was Babatund's turn to gasp.

"I suspect that one of the Steen clan is causing trouble... It's none of your business."

Annan looked like he was remembering something, leaving behind a shocked and crazy brainstorming Babatado, and Maria left the dungeon.

In fact, Annan could tell Baba Todd in the end that he was actually lying to him, but Baba Todd might not be able to bear the blow and go crazy.

He didn't offend himself very much, and he even gave Faro to himself. There was no need to do anything too cruel...

Coming out of the dungeon, Annan divided his troops into two groups: he took the parchment to the chairman of the parliament, and Maria went to find the controlled Babatado tribesmen, convicting the guilty ones and beating them up as civilians.

They have enjoyed so many blessings, and it is time for them to bear the price.

…

When Annan came to the lounge, the chairman of the parliament was playing chess with him.

No, he's playing chess with the staff.

"Senior Councilor, Senior Staff..." Annan greeted one after another.

The chairman of the parliament hesitated first and raised his head: "Are you talking to it?"

"What's wrong?" Annan blinked.

"Why do you think a staff can talk?"

"Well……"

Annan was hesitant. What happened in the lounge that day is still weird, and the staff has not spoken yet.

He made an excuse: "Because I heard a bard tell such a story, the things used by legends will be contaminated with spirituality. You are a legendary mage, and the staff you use must be very smart..."

The chairman of the parliament smiled and did not embarrass Annan any more: "Can you play chess?"

"No." Annan shook his head honestly.

He had seen Olmedo and his eldest sister play "Knight Chess" before, and he understood the rules, but it was not interesting...

The name of Knight Chess is interesting, but as a pure game, the two parties play their own chess in the early stage and face off at the end to see who has a better strategic vision and has the most flags. It is not as fun as Military Chess.
