A strange world

Chapter 245 Chapter 98. Return to the Sacred Temple

The Broken Mirror made no reply.

Annan was very interested and left it to Michael to find a way to repair it while he was studying gunpowder.

Gema returned to Glacier Port in despair, and the burnt port was rebuilt. It seems that the second lady still wants to turn around with Glacier Port.

Gema suffered a lot of setbacks.

The second heir of the Diatra family came to Xingyue Bay with pride, but Annan got there first, so he had to lie dormant outside Xingyue Bay. During this period, Annan robbed his hard labor, and was robbed by pirates. The family suffered a lot. After questioning, he finally put down his pride and cooperated with Annan. The so-called secret cache was just the secret collection place of JB and Valendo - just like a cold joke told by Bronzebeard.

Oh, and there is also a "magic mirror" that is suspected to be an artifact, playing with poor Gema in the palm of his hand.

With the thought "in case something was missed", Annan asked Bronzebeard and the Earth Elemental to expand the crypt several times. It turned out that this place was really just a secret collection place for two people with elven calendars.

After nothing was left unturned, they filled in the crypt and restored the public toilet to its original condition the next day. The biggest benefit for nearby residents is that they no longer have to run to other toilets hundreds of meters away to use the toilet.

Those shields and weapons are also decorations with no practical value, but considering the elf calendar and the identity of the forger, each one should be easily sold for a few gold coins to dozens of gold coins - and thirty-four are worth about 500 Gold coins or more.

As agreed, Annan sent the 250 gold coins from Glacier Port by sea - neither insulting nor showing off his power.

Xingyue Bay has returned to its former peace: Annan signed government documents early in the morning, went out after breakfast with Ingrid, tamed the white dragon with Ilimoyas, and occasionally ran to play in the deserted shoals when the weather was warm. , wandered around the town in the afternoon, from the factory to the tavern to the blacksmith shop and then to the library, but did not read a book. In the evening, we went to Aunt Susan's house for a family dinner.

After about a week of this kind of leisure time, the sixth issue of "Xingyue Bay News" was released. There was no "scandal" about Annan and Gema. It just mentioned in the text message "Annan and Gema are in Xingyue Bay." We jointly excavated a secret room and found thirty-four decorative weapons and shields from the Elven Calendar."

The text messages were not noticed by many people except businessmen and collectors. People still paid attention to the Snow Mountain Fortress.

After several weeks of publicity, Breeze City became the first city-state to ignore the alien order, and elves and dwarves were able to appear on the streets again. As for whether the Ratmen would take the opportunity to sneak into the city... they just destroyed the conspiracy that the Ratmen had laid out for decades last year.

Speaking of rat men, the rat man in Xingyue Bay has always been honest, and it is said that the rat god has disappeared. If the rat god is affected by the turmoil...the loss of contact between the gods may not be a bad thing for humans.

This means that the Skaven's pervasive ability has been cut by more than half.

Then, news came from the "New Initial Number": "Good news or bad news, which one do you want to listen to?"

"Fast taught you to say this? Tell me the good news first."

"After nearly ten days of sailing, we are not far from a seaport city. The magician calls this Puppet Port."

Annan asked Abby to get a map. He started from Xingyue Bay and followed the coastline with his finger, passing by Yongye Port, which had crossed out the original place name and changed it to Pirate Port. He stopped when he was about to approach the Principality of Keating.

A city-state called Louis City stood there.

Regardless of their stay at the Pirate Port, Francois and his companions, who had been sailing for about 20 days, were 2,800 nautical miles away from Xingyue Bay... If they set out from land, they would have to walk from one cold winter to the next.

"Where's the bad news?"

"The Seahawks had been following us and then suddenly passed us and came in."

"...They looted Puppet Harbor before you arrived?"

Is Puppet Port or even Louis City going to become the second Evernight Port?

"Not yet, but they are facing off at sea." Francois thought for a while, "This may be another good news... We can intervene and help one deal with the other."

The "New Initial" representing Xingyue Bay will become the weight that determines the outcome of the battle.

Annan preferred stable trade routes rather than "collaborating with pirates" - the former was much more profitable than the latter.

"We are on the side of order," Annan said. Let Francois get in touch with Louis City first.

Help the city-state deal with the invaders - this should benefit them from future trade.

"Xingyue Bay is your back-up, and I will help you when necessary."

This statement complemented Francois's confidence - how could a country pirate resist Annan's charm.

As night fell, Annan put on his raincoat before going to bed and ran to Ingrid's residence in the cool rainy night, startling Ingrid who was wearing pajamas.

"How much money do we have left in our treasury?"

"Less than 8,000 gold coins... The port and ship cost almost 3,000 gold coins, and we are still imitating those ships and spending money continuously..."

Looking forward to the third Magical Image.

Annan refused on the grounds that he had not yet found a new city.

Frankly speaking, in addition to Fenggrao City and many small city-states and territories in Planang's Gift County, Breeze City and Betar City were almost taken over by Annan. The 1 silver coin ticket is quite expensive for commoners, and the 100 gold coin magic stone is also expensive for nobles.

Telling Ingrid that Francois has arrived at the new port and is ready, Annan returns to the Lord's Mansion, washes up and falls asleep.

Half a month later, Annan was once again captured by a bizarre phantom. He didn't know whether it was falling or rising, whether it was far or near, and he followed the misty guidance to the sacred temple.

Annan's position changed somewhat, and he moved forward one row from the far corner. Annan craned his neck and counted the seats silently, until he reached the 20th one at the front...

One of the thirteen seats in the center of the hall was still vacant, and their conversation was equally vague. Annan didn't want to forget everything after waking up like last time, so he tried to imagine a pen and a notebook to write down the intermittent words.

"Dude, what are you doing?"

The figure sitting next to him asked curiously.

"I was afraid I'd forgotten what he was saying, so I wrote it down... a good memory is worse than a bad... quill."

After the words fell, the sacred temple fell into a strange silence. Then the grand whisper echoed: "That's right, new leader, a good memory is not as good as a bad quill."

Most of the outlines of the sacred temple are unknown. Only the figure next to Annan praised enviously: "Where are you from? I am Khamis VI, the monarch of a small country."

"I am a lord of Xingyue Bay at the foot of Snow Mountain Fortress."

"I know where it is, it's not very far." Khamis VI said he would send a messenger and he should arrive before the winter of 1002 - they had different ideas about distance.

Annan and Khamis VI were whispering, and the twelve thrones in the middle were conveying news. At a certain moment, an echoing whisper made him raise his head:

"The rat clan going north broke through Te Oro County, and it turned into a hell on earth..."
