A strange world

Chapter 1094 Section 16. The most approachable Ellie

"You jump, I jump too."

When Jack on the curtain said this long-standing words to Rose, a figure sat next to Ellie, the wood elf elder who was immersed in the story.

"Do you still like it?"

"I like it too much... I know it's fake... But how did you find so many mice to cooperate with you?" Ellie, who was already watching it for the second time, was puzzled.

"We have an illusionist."

Ellie looked surprised.

"Don't you want to see other magic images?" Annan, who was sitting next to him, asked again.

The purpose of his coming here is simple-to get close to the elf elder.

Compared with the arrogant Kailanzhuo and the cold Fioria, the lively Ellie looks the most approachable.

It's definitely not because she is shorter than Annan.

Annan stroked his hair. He was confident in his charm. He thought that the wood elf elder who had watched "The Mage's Tower Fall" twice was already addicted to it.

"Because I am very curious about these mice... I am not curious anymore after knowing that they are fake." Ellie stood up: "Let's go see other magic images!"

Annan followed the wood elf out awkwardly and introduced: "What kind of stories do you like. Love, humans, life, war, or fables?"

"Life?"

"It's "When Freedom Knocks on the Door", which tells the story of an orc father and son living in human society."

"Hmm... like "The Adventures of Tarot Man"? I am a little interested."

Annan took Ellie to the hall where "When Freedom Knocks on the Door" was being screened, while looking for a topic: "What is "The Adventures of Tarot Man"?"

"It's also about underground people accidentally running into human towns and experiencing many adventures."

"I think there are some differences."

They were lucky. The magic image had just started, and the audience seats were about 30% full. Annan led Ellie to sit in the front row. The light and shadow reflected Ellie's delicate face. She stared at the picture and gradually immersed herself in it.

When she saw the orc father and son curled up in the cubicle of the public toilet, leaning against the door, covering the ears of their sleeping son, silently suffering, Ellie couldn't help but let out a girlish cry: "What happened to them in the end? Don't tell me yet... I want to see it myself."

Two hours later, Ellie breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

The emotions of "When Freedom Comes Knocking on the Door" are not passionate, like a piece of cake that is not too sweet, but this light warmth just fits the taste of the immortal species such as elves.

Annan took the opportunity to say: "Chris and his son are in Liberty City, do you want to go and see them?"

Ellie was a little tempted, but still refused: "They are also fake, right? Let me keep a little beautiful fantasy."

Annan wanted to lie to her and say that it was adapted from a true story, but that pouting face made it difficult for him to lie.

"I've been in the theater all morning, let's go out and take a look."

"Okay."

Annan accompanied Ellie out of the door. Just as they walked to the open space outside the theater where the catering trucks were parked, a woman's angry shout suddenly sounded in the distance.

"Olaya, die!"

Annan looked up in the direction where the voice came from, but was blocked by the crowd and couldn't see anything clearly. Then the guards and enthusiastic residents rushed over there.

From the chatter of the crowd in front, it was learned that a noble was assassinated and the murderer had been caught.

Annan frowned. Liberty City has always regarded itself as safe, and the prison has not detained serious criminals for 190 consecutive days... How could a murder suddenly appear, and in front of the distinguished guests.

It was impossible to hide, Annan said to the curious Ellie: "Let's go and take a look."

There were several layers of people surrounding the scene, and Annan saw Ingrid with Sigma and others standing not far away.

The guards who maintained order evacuated the crowd, and after seeing Annan, they led him into the middle.

Annan saw the assassin—an ordinary girl with hatred in her eyes, staring at the well-dressed man lying in a pool of blood.

She did not resist, but let the guards kill her.

"What happened?"

The guards stationed at the theater and the murderer did not expect to alarm Annan. She felt a little guilty in her revenge: "Olaya collected heavy taxes and killed my parents, and hung up and whipped my brother who went to ask for justice, and ran to Liberty City for refuge... I... I can't help it..."

"Actually, I support justice and revenge..."

The girl looked up in surprise, but Annan shook her head with regret and said: "But the Liberty City Code cannot be violated. You killed someone, which is a serious crime..."

"I know... I don't want to live..." The girl murmured.

"Why can't she live?" Ellie suddenly spoke.

The guards and the crowd around her turned their eyes away from Annan and gathered on the petite elf with buds growing under her feet.

"Isn't it normal to fight back?"

Elves have their own moral standards. Don't think they love peace - it's true on the surface, they like art, music, literature... But how can a peace-loving race rule Wilhelm for 40,000 years?

The root cause is not only the powerful gods of the elven pantheon, but also the elves' eye-for-an-eye and tooth-for-a-tooth principle: you provoked us, we believe in peace and will not argue with you. But if you try again, the elves will turn your home into a forest and you into fertilizer for the forest.

No one can violate the "Free City Code", not even Annan, but if it is an elf messenger...

"You are right. If the law cannot protect the victim, then lynching is just from this moment on." Annan said to the girl with a righteous attitude: "If you can get the victim's family to forgive, I can consider-"

"It hurts... "

At this time, the noble who fell in a pool of blood suddenly cried out in pain.

"The victim is not dead yet!"

Annan changed his words and said: "If you get the victim's forgiveness, I can consider reducing your guilt."

Tearing open a magic scroll to help the noble heal his wound, the girl stiffened her neck and pursed her lips.

Annan couldn't do anything with her, looking at the noble who was pale due to excessive blood loss.

For some reason, the noble suddenly felt a shadow like facing Olmer Shao, and his fat body trembled: "I... don't blame her, I should repent, I have done many wrong things in the past... I am willing to compensate her..."

At this point, he didn't dare to say anything else.

Annan was very satisfied with the noble's response, and signaled the guards to take the two to the prison, and followed with Ellie who showed strong interest.

"Sorry, I showed you the bad side."

"Don't say that. You are already better than many human towns."

"But it's not the best."

Following them to the Liberty City Prison, Ellie suddenly stopped at the door.

"What's wrong?" Annan looked back at her and looked in the direction she was looking: another group of guards came over with a man dressed as a refugee.

The high elf elder Kairandra quickly lowered his head to avoid their gazes.

"Nothing." Ellie turned her head.

"Oh... By the way, I'm letting the team rehearse the new rules you suggested. It should be ready in a few days..."
