A strange world

Losey piled the dried grass leaves in the barn and missed the busy residents and returned outside.

They have removed the grass blades, leaving only some dead grass stalks spread in the open space. Shiloh is squatting to pick them up and move to the cattle pen to attract the attention of the cattle.

Losey wiped the sweat from his forehead and came to his brother's side. He watched him hand a blade of grass to a cow and muttered: "Eat more. Only when you are full will you have the strength to fight. If you die, let us eat."

"Xi Luo, this is a cow." Losi said helplessly.

The cattle in the cattle pen suddenly became restless, and Losey quickly pulled his brother away.

"Layla!" he said to the goblins who were directing from a distance, "what's wrong with these cows!"

"My name is Dorai." "Our lord is welcoming the big shot."

"Big shot?"

"You don't know yet, right? It's rumored that Lord Annan raises a blue dragon..."

…

"Is this the famous 'Jack'?" The young nobleman who broke into the big house looked at the empty house with disdain, "Look, the place you live in is like a shack, like a slum, and you are still burning cow dung. You are completely embarrassed." Losing the face of the Reeves family."

Annan looked at Ingrid who brought him here: "This guy has been making comments from the beginning. Is he the crown prince from the royal capital?"

"This is Gemma Diatra of the Diatra family." Ingrid said.

Diatra family, one of the twelve kings of the North.

"Excuse me!"

The noble boy named Gema angrily yelled: "I didn't hear respect from your words, 'Jack', you let such a person serve as a housekeeper?"

"Housekeeper? She is Olmedo's assistant." Annan was worried that this was too complicated for him and explained: "Olmedo is the lord of Breeze City. Breeze City is to the east of Xingyue Bay, and the east is the direction you came from. .”

"I'm not an idiot!" The boy made a duck-like cry unique to his voice-changing stage.

The fear beast outside the house sensed the owner's anger and let out a menacing growl, but was calmed down by the servant.

Annan frowned slightly and asked Ingrid: "My status is higher or his?"

Ingrid had already had enough of this guy's arrogance along the way: "You are the true heir and one of the current twelve kings of the North. He is just the second son who has no inheritance rights. You teach him a lesson just like the old family master taught you."

Annan knew what to do and asked the cavalry who came out of fear of the hunting beast's scent to retreat.

"Ogre, I remember you haven't eaten anyone for a long time?"

"When we were still in Breeze City." The ogre stared at the boy's neck cooperatively, "I hope his head is delicious instead of rancid."

The proud boy finally took a step back out of fear.

"So you came all the way to my territory to talk nonsense. What do you want to do?"

"I think this place is good..." But he quickly stepped forward again, like a proud drake, "Transfer this land to me, and you will get my friendship."

What Gemma Diatra did successfully made the good-tempered Annan unhappy. A villain in all stories who stands in the way of the protagonist? But is it too late to show up now?

"What is this common man talking about?"

Annan showed the majesty of the King of the North - but this would only make people want to hug him and rub him: "As an elder, I won't mind your offense, but you don't want to be spanked by me taking off your pants, right? "

"Do you think I'm joking? If you refuse, I will build a prosperous port to your south-"

"I refuse." Annan interrupted.

Not long after, Gemma Diatra, who had hit a wall, walked out of the big house with his servants with an ugly expression on his face, and almost bumped into a citizen when he left the camp.

"A child is more disgusting than a rat-man."

Annan said. Moreover, he is a fool who has no meaning, is proud, arrogant, and cannot grasp the situation.

"He seems to be about the same age as you," the ogre said.

"We are different. He does not have the same experience as me of killing rat-men with my own hands... Is he a girl?" Annan suddenly asked without warning.

Ingrid, who was still looking at their retreating figures, looked back: "What are you thinking about?"

"Uh...it's not what you think."

Annan just didn't want something like Olmedo to happen again, so he changed the subject and asked: "Ogre, have you eaten people before setting off?"

"Ivan handed me the torn off dead skin to eat."

Evan is Abby's brother.

"What is the taste?"

"It doesn't feel as good as...apple pie."

"So why did this guy come back with you?"

Ingrid said: "He was a guest at the City Lord's Mansion and said he wanted to visit Xingyue Bay. The City Lord asked us to bring him over."

Annan believes Olmedo did it on purpose. She couldn't stand this idiot, so she had to make it unbearable for herself.

"By the way, didn't I ask you to stay in Sunset Plains? Why did you come back?" Annan thought of his plan.

The ogre said: "I hired some workers to collect charcoal, which takes time."

What also took time was the supplies that were still on the way, and the ogres and the others rushed back in advance.

As night fell, the citizens watched "The Fall of the Mage Tower" in the open space without fear of the cold. Annan, the ogres, and the guards came to the promontory and summoned the blue dragon in the undisturbed big house.

…

In the dense forest in the southern part of Xingyue Bay, Gema took a picture of a mirror flashing with magic runes. He is still proud now, but no longer as arrogant as a fool.

"Magic Mirror, is this here?"

"This is it." A cold echo came from the mirror.

"With all due respect, Master, the lord may not know..." the servant reminded: "Those wooden houses are like bandit camps. Levis has no plan at all. Maybe he was just forced to come here by his family..."

The servant's tone suddenly changed: "Master, the city lord is coming towards us..."

In the dark night, several figures holding torches appeared on the promontory and entered the big house.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Gema released his invisibility technique to hide his figure and quietly approached the cape. His intermittent conversation was carried by the sea breeze:

"Beautiful and... Mr. Blue Dragon... Long time no see... It's getting colder in the north... I really want... I'll prepare some edible... maids for you... Did you say there's someone outside?"

Gemma was horrified and used the Light Feather Technique and the Shield Technique at the same time, instantly slipping into the dark forest.

Annan and others who chased out only saw a shadow.

The guard captain called his subordinates: "Who is on duty tonight?"

"Captain Tedder."

"Let him lead his team to chase him. If he can't find anyone, don't come back."

"That man is Gorma Diatra," the orc said. "I smell him."

That night, Xingyue Bay was on alert for spying and attacks, but nothing happened. It was the same on the second day, until Annan received news on the third day: the second son of the Diatra family was developing territory about 200 miles south of Xingyue Bay.

Along with the news arrived a letter from Olmedo. There is only one sentence in the letter: Harvest the wheat when it is ripe.

Well, it looks like the long winter ahead won’t be boring.
