A strange world

Chapter 1130 Chapter 52. Prince Aidan’s gift

Prince Aidan was taken away anyway.

Is there a feud between the Elven Court and the Paem Kingdom? Annan doesn't know, but the Elven Court cannot torture to extract confessions...

When the elf guard was about to leave, Annan followed him: "Do you know what the explosion over there is?"

The tall elf guard remained silent.

"It seems you know what's going on over there?"

The elf guard turned to Annan, who was approaching him, and said, "I won't tell you."

"Why? Just because I blocked you just now?"

Annan was very persistent: "It's very simple. There are three reasons why I stopped you from arresting him. First, I am your quasi-ally, and I am qualified to stop you when I see you making wrong moves. Second, Prince Aidan is not an ordinary person. He is the prince of the Paem Kingdom and the son of the Thirteenth Supreme King. It is a serious diplomatic incident for you to arrest him. Third, he was mostly with me and had an alibi when the incident occurred."

"He's human."

"Is this the reason? To doubt him because he is human is as rude as to think I am promiscuous because I am a warlock!"

"You humans are the original sin." The elf guard said in a cold tone.

"Well, I won't argue with you about this, but you should tell me what happened. Maybe I can be of some help."

The elf guard had never seen such a pestering guy before. His attitude softened a little and he told the story of the explosion just now with full indignation.

"...If Lord Jade hadn't taken action, at least one elder and hundreds of elves would have been killed or injured in that explosion."

"You mean the murderer left a death notice to provoke him?" Annan thought thoughtfully.

"Do you know the murderer?"

"I don't know, but maybe you can investigate something if you take me to the scene."

Faced with Annan's extravagance, the elf guard told him not to even think about it.

"Then you have to tell me more information, right?"

After a little hesitation, the elf guard finally told the story that Shadow had conducted a secret investigation before, which had resulted in the loss of more than a dozen warriors, and even the disappearance of the archmage who had been called for help.

Even in the Elf King's Court, the Archmage is not like a potato in the ground that can grow in one crop after another.

"It seems that the enemy is very strong... so they can screen out the envoys who are no more powerful than the master?" Annan asked.

"Doing it."

"Then why did you capture Prince Aidan?"

"He went out with you."

Unexpectedly, Prince Aidan was targeted and had something to do with him...

"I will also keep an eye on it for you." Annan said.

"Thanks……"

The words of thanks blurted out, but were suppressed by the elf guard, and he left with the remaining arrogance.

Annan looked at the direction where the mushroom cloud had risen for a while, then turned and returned to the hut.

As soon as he walked in, he remembered that this was Prince Aidan's cabin. Just take a quick glance and go out.

At this time, a broken scepter handle suddenly shot out a shadow on the table. He looked at Annan and frowned: "Who are you?"

Annan turned around and saw the projected image of the blond man, and made a slight guess: "I am Aidan's friend. He... went to talk to the elf about something, and I helped him look after his house."

The man who looked somewhat similar to Prince Aidan frowned and gave a gentle salute: "Thank you for taking care of my useless brother."

"You're too polite. We are helping each other." Annan responded in kind.

"Please tell him to contact the Kingdom when he returns."

"I will."

The image of the blond man disappeared. Annan curiously looked at the truncated scepter handle, guessing that it was a precious treasure... but Prince Aidan threw it here.

Annan arranged for a team of guardian golems to help Prince Aidan look after his house, and began to parade around the wooden house complex with the golems.

The elves took Prince Aidan away for a long time before releasing him back.

Annan rushed to the wooden house immediately - Prince Aidan was blocked from the door by the guardian.

The golem doesn't know who Prince Aidan is, and will only obey Annan's orders and prohibit everyone from approaching.

Asking the guardians to get out of the way, Annan greeted him: "Is everything okay?"

"Well, thank you for helping me look after my house."

"Nothing... By the way, your brother came here not long after you left." Annan pointed to the handle of the scepter on the table.

"Have you met him?"

"Well, your brother has a much better attitude than those elves."

After all, Annan saw a lot of bad faces in the royal court these days.

Prince Aidan smiled and activated the scepter handle in front of Annan.

Soon, the image of Brother Aidan appeared in front of the truncated scepter handle. It seemed that because of the angle, he didn't see Annan, and asked Prince Aidan: "What did you talk to the elves about?"

"Nothing. The elves were attacked, and they suspected it was related to me, so they took me to investigate."

Aidan's brother showed an angry look: "You acted without permission again!"

"I don't."

"No? You brought shame on the kingdom and bought a bunch of scrap metal that you don't have!"

Annan was puzzled for a while. He had a friendly attitude just now, so why did he treat Aidan like a villain?

"Annan is an ally of the elves, shouldn't we maintain our relationship with him?"

The image said coldly: "Aidan, you know the rules of the kingdom, this is against the rules..."

Prince Aidan lowered his eyes: "It's another rule..."

"What did you say!"

"I said..."

"The general will not accept military orders from abroad." Annan, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly said: "The meaning of this sentence is that the general needs to adapt to changes on the front line and cannot rigidly follow the kingdom's orders."

Aidan's brother looked at him in shock. Annan thought he would confront her, but he didn't expect that he paused for a few seconds and changed his tone to a gentle tone: "I'm sorry for making you look ugly between brothers."

Annan, who was ready to help Prince Aidan, instantly lost his temper. What's going on with Paem's royal family...is it in trouble? Or too educated?

Because there was an outsider like Annan, Aidan's brother stopped admonishing him and closed the communication.

"You helped me again." Prince Aidan said with a wry smile.

"Who told him that my things are scrap metal?" Annan shrugged, "But why is his attitude so...divisive?"

Annan doesn't think it's because of his identity. If the identity of a quasi-ally is so useful, the envoys of the wooden house community should be running frantically towards their residences now.

"Because of 'rules', twisted rules."

Annan remembered what Prince Aidan said that the Kingdom of Paem had so many scary rules... He thought it was mostly the common people, but didn't he expect that even the royal family was no exception?

"It's so weird... You must not become like this." Fortunately, Prince Aidan does not have this problem.

"Don't worry, I will never become like that..."

Prince Aidan holds the handle of the scepter.

"What is it? Can it be mass-produced?" Annan asked casually.

"This is a broken artifact."

Prince Aidan glanced at the scepter handle: "After the celebration is over, I will give you a gift..."
