A strange world

The appearance of the scavenger still brought some trouble to Annan.

For example, the banquet broke up unhappy again, and there were rumors about Annan defecting to the rat people.

Fortunately, Annan came out of the Scavenger Park not long after and was seen by many scouts observing the place.

On the way back, Annan told Francois that he had also joined the scavengers. Then asked him to help buy a Neutrud.

Annan first went back to the bedroom to look at the little spider, and then came to the study room with the spider bottle in hand.

The fire crow was lying outside the window preening its feathers. As Annan opened the window, it jumped up on the desk skillfully and poked the glass bottle with its beak.

The pleasant night breeze flowed into the study. Annan returned to the desk and opened the crow. He subconsciously picked up the letter and stopped.

It seems that he should keep his distance from the Reeves family. This way when the truth is revealed, there will be no pain for each other.

Let’s start by reducing daily communication…

Annan thought about telling the two distant sisters that the banquet failed again and that the scavenger took him away in the name of investigation but actually wanted to cooperate.

Then at the end of the letter, Annan wrote: After this incident is over, I will leave the North for a while, so don’t worry about me...

Knock knock knock——

A knock on the door interrupted Annan, and the head maid said that Michael was here.

Annan told the head maid that in the future, when friends come, they can let him in directly without notifying them. But Michael just confirmed that he was fine and left in a hurry.

After Michael left, Annan looked at the written letter, balled it up and threw it into the wastebasket at his feet.

Writing like this will make the eldest sister worried, and the second sister comes to Breeze City.

Picking up a new piece of letter paper, Annan rewrote the beginning, but changed the tone at the end: "I am not a child anymore, you don't always have to teach me how to do things."

This tone made Annan a little intolerable, but a subtle alienation was better than a devastating collapse.

He had a feeling that with the addition of the scavengers, the real murderer wouldn't be hidden for long.

After stuffing the letter into the mailbox and witnessing the fire crow turning into a flowing arrow and blending into the night, Annan closed the window, picked up the glass bottle and returned to the bedroom, preparing to meditate to end the tumultuous day.

Knock knock knock——

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Annan opened the door.

Della stood outside the door, under the dim lighting of the oil lamp, her bare feet reflected faint lines and luster, and her gauze-like corset skirt outlined her slender waist and navel.

The female elf closed the door and approached Annan without saying a word.

"Dara?"

Annan didn't know whether he should continue to take off his mage robe.

"I'm worried about you." Della approached Annan who kept retreating.

"Uh...thank you?"

Annan's legs hit the edge of the bed, and after a moment of weightlessness, he fell onto the bed.

Della leaned over and wanted to climb onto the bed——

Knock knock knock——

The knock on the door at this time stopped Della and Annan.

Della jumped into the shadow of the corner and merged with the darkness.

Annan opened the door in confusion and unexpectedly saw the wine lady standing outside the door. She was still wearing the dress she wore at the banquet, but her hair was pulled up into long wavy hair.

"Francois just came to my place to tell me that you were back, so I rushed over to check on you. Just hope you are okay." The wine lady said, "Sweetheart, don't get too close to the scavenger, or you will be tainted with misfortune..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Don't you want to invite me in?"

"Um...of course."

The Wine Lady walked into the bedroom with a gust of fragrance.

"While you are looking at the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you. The entanglement between the Scavengers and Chaos is too deep, and most of their ends are corrupted by Chaos..." The wine lady curiously observed the spider bottle next to the oil lamp, "Why do you want to Keep a spider?”

"Because all spiders are children of the Spider Mother Goddess..." Annan said casually.

Annan closed the door. He doesn't mind chatting with the wine lady. But Della was wearing thin clothes at this time and she didn't know which shadow she was standing in. It made him feel strangely nervous about being stared at.

He deliberately yawned and asked, "Is it okay for Ms. Wine to come here so late?"

"of course not……"

Knock knock knock——

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the wine lady's words and Annan's yawn.

"Master Annan, are you asleep?"

came the voice of maid Abby.

The wine lady looked at Annan in surprise, and her low hoarse voice carried a strange charm: "Knocking on the door late at night, it seems like something happened between you and my little maid..."

"We have nothing."

"Oh?" The wine lady walked towards the terrace, "Then I'll avoid it and don't tell her I'm here."

Seeing that the terrace door was open for eavesdropping, Annan opened the door for the third time tonight. He originally wanted to say it outside the door, but Abby ducked in eagerly.

"Master Annan, I have something very important to tell you." Abby seemed to have made some kind of decision and mustered up the courage to say: "I actually want to tell you..."

Knock knock knock——

A sudden knock on the door startled Abby. She covered her mouth in panic, not knowing what to do.

"Who's out there?"

"Master Annan, have you seen Abby?" the head maid's voice came into the room.

Annan signaled Abby to hide under the bed, opened the door and said doubtfully: "I didn't see it either. Could it be at her brother's place?"

"Okay, have a good rest."

Annan watched the head maid walk away, and then fell towards the beautiful figure that appeared in the corridor.

"Countess?"

Annan wanted to leave the bedroom, but the countess pushed him forcefully into the bedroom.

"Annan, I don't want to hide my hot feelings for you anymore..." The countess's hot breath almost melted Annan.

"We shouldn't be like this..."

"I know, but after you were taken away by the scavengers, my heart was filled with worry... We are the only ones here, no one knows what happened..."

Annan couldn't tell that almost half of Breeze was here.

Knock knock knock——

Fortunately, the new visitor saved Annan.

"The wardrobe is still empty now." Annan pointed the direction for the countess.

Soon, Annan, who had closed the closet door, opened the door again.

Francois' handsome, tired face appeared outside the door.

"...You want to join too?"

"Join what?"

"Nothing...why are you back again?"

Francois walked into the room: "I forgot to give you this. Those nobles who transformed into rat men at tonight's banquet... although they have nothing to do with you, do you want to go and greet them tomorrow?"

Annan didn't want to close the door, but then a strong gust of wind rushed into the house through the gap of the terrace door and slammed the door.

Knock knock knock——

Just in time for a new knock on the door.

Annan calmly asked the puzzled Francois to hide under the quilt, and opened the door out of pure curiosity of "who will be next?"

A cold figure in a crow mask stood outside the door.

"why you?"

The appearance of the centurion surprised Annan even more than Olmedo.

"It's so lively."

The Centurion looked around the empty bedroom. He said playfully: "You are indeed different from other warlocks."

"Compared to you, other warlocks are as pure as ascetics."
