A strange world

Chapter 1290 Section 212. Old "acquaintance"

"I am Annan."

"I am Annan."

Outside the Golden City, a portal was opened in the tent, and two Annans were arguing in front of the portal.

Annan sneered behind the portal, and his eyes fell on Joan beside him: "Dear, why are you so unfamiliar with me."

Joan blushed immediately and said stutteringly: "I..."

Annan blinked at her: "You what?"

"You are Annan..."

Annan won the second place in the role-playing Annan segment.

"Don't make such a disgusting expression with my face." Annan said helplessly.

"When will you come back?"

"I'm going to the Black Reef Tavern later."

The Black Widow told him about the banquet, and Annan pondered and said: "I know, you will attend it for me first, and be careful not to be seen."

"Don't worry, even the people around you think I am Annan."

Annan closed the portal silently, transformed into Olmedo again, and returned to the Golden City with them.

The members of the Osculus Mercenary Group acted dejected, deliberately showing it to the eyes hidden in the dark.

Annan, who was riding on horseback and talking in a low voice with Luo Fei, suddenly looked back at a black-robed man who passed by.

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to smell a familiar smell..."

Annan, who was thinking, pulled the reins, turned over and got off the horse, and said to the team members who stopped to look at him: "You go first, I'll go out for a while."

Annan chased the black-robed man who was about to disappear in the crowd.

He didn't intend to hide himself. The black-robed man soon found that someone was following him. His steps became faster and faster, and he frequently went into the crowd and alleys.

But it didn't expect that Annan was not tracking it by vision, but by the smell left along the way.

Annan bit the black-robed man's ass and walked through the alleys.

Just after walking out of the dark alley filled with the smell of urine, a carriage rushed towards him and forced him to retreat.

The galloping carriage made passers-by retreat, and dared not speak.

But Annan saw an anxious face behind the fluttering curtains.

That person seemed to be Killian...?

Where was he going in such a hurry?

Putting Killian's matter behind his mind, Annan continued to chase the black-robed man.

The guy he was chasing was more important than Killian...

...

Killian woke up from the bed with cold sweat on his forehead.

I remember, I remember...!

He lifted his clothes and stroked the ugly centipede scar in a daze.

Why did I forget such an important thing! ?

He has been protecting me and us, and I actually forgot about him?

Killian rushed out of the room and ran outside.

The guard at the door woke up and shouted behind him: "Master, I was just about to wake you up...Master, where are you going!"

"He's waiting for me..."

"Master, the banquet is about to start!"

Killian turned around suddenly: "Prepare a carriage for me, I want to go to the inner city!"

There was something he couldn't understand.

Why did the face in his memory look so much like Annan...

The bumpy carriage stopped, and the guard opened the door: "Lord Killian, we're here."

Killian took a deep breath and stepped out of the car: "Where is this?"

"It's where you want to go. The Wild Wolf Gang used to be here."

What Killian saw was not an abandoned house or a burnt ruin, but a somewhat old shop.

It had been more than ten years since he was taken back to the family...Everything at the beginning had long disappeared in the long river of time.

Also disappeared was the dilapidated house where the children lived.

"Let's go back to the family."

Killian rushed back to the Raymond family's residence and found an old man reading in the library.

"Uncle Fox..."

Killian was gentle and docile in front of the old man, not as arrogant and domineering as he was outside.

Because it was Uncle Fox who brought him back to the family...

Fox raised his head from the book and smiled lovingly: "Master Killian, how come you have time to come back and see?"

"Where are those children?"

"What children?"

"The children who were with me."

The old man showed a confused expression, and Killian became anxious: "Didn't you pick me up from the street? Where are those children who were with me!"

Fox suddenly realized and said after recalling: "They are all dead..."

"Dead...?"

Killian was stunned: "But...didn't you get there?"

Fox smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Raymond was very angry and demanded that there could not be even a living dog..."

"The children who were with me..."

"Master Killian, I sent you back to the family at that time. As for your companions...I'm afraid they all died there."

Killian covered his wound. After more than ten years, it was actually aching again.

"Master, what happened?" Fox asked.

"I just remembered what happened in the past... How did you know I was there?"

"That pendant was... a gift from your father to your mother. There is an anchor hidden in it. After you got lost, we have been sensing whether the anchor has been activated every day. On that snowy night thirteen years ago, we finally felt it..."

Killian calmed down and continued to ask: "How did I get lost?"

"Master Killian... the maid who lost you at that time has been executed by the master. I'm afraid no one can explain what happened..."

"I know, Mr. Fox."

Killian had expected it.

Who has the ability to avoid the maids and guards and take himself away from the heavily guarded family...

Fox watched Killian hurried away. Master Killian suddenly cared about that matter, which was not good news.

But... why did the master suddenly dream about the past?

...

Annan chased the black-robed man into an alley.

The wall blocked the black-robed man's way, so he had to turn around and face Annan standing at the entrance of the alley.

"Do you want to die..."

Annan was hurt: "This is the first thing you said to me?"

"...Annan?"

The black-robed man was stunned: "Why are you here?"

"Don't act like you just found out. I don't believe you don't have any information. Tell me first why you, the Stuhn Ratmen, are also here!"

That's right, the black-robed man in front of him was Annan's old acquaintance, the Ratman elder of the Stuhn clan.

Two cold scarlet lights lit up in the black robe: "How did you recognize me..."

"I can smell the emotions and unique breath of everyone, and you are no exception."

"You still say you are not a succubus?"

"We are talking about you now..." Annan suddenly realized: "What happened in the Broken Mountains is your fault again!?"

"No..."

"What is that?"

"I can't tell you. Annan, don't get in the way. You do your thing, and the Saints do their thing."

Annan stared at the rat elder for a moment, and suddenly let go: "Okay, I'll trust you this time, but do me a favor."

The rat elder thought he had heard it wrong: "You want us to help you?"

"Just say whether you will help or not."

"... Tell me what you want first."
