A strange world

Chapter 259 Chapter 112. Wanted criminal Annan

The fire crow stood on the bird stand, and his pupils reflected the figures lying on the desk and standing beside him.

Annan, who followed Leila to the study, took a sneak peek:

[Sister, I arrived at Annan’s territory. I am fine and my brother is fine too. Don’t worry about us! 】

Leila suddenly covered the letter: "What are you looking at! Your handwriting is very beautiful!"

Annan answered with action. He opened the notebook, took the quill with Leila's warmth and wrote a neat and standardized line of text.

"It smells like mastering the common language! It has no soul!" Layla pointed at her crooked letters home and said, "What I write is much more emotional!"

"Okay, but at least the eldest sister won't nag me about my ugly handwriting."

Leila, who was always ordered to practice calligraphy, was stunned as to why she hadn't thought of it earlier... Forget it, the eldest sister couldn't control her now anyway.

Putting the letter into the mailbox on Fire Crow's leg, Leila opened the window and watched Fire Crow blend into the night, then she lay in front of the window and stared at Xingyue Bay at night.

This appearance made Annan unable to drive Leila back to the room, so he had to acquiesce that she stay here and continue working.

Opening the portal to the New Initial, Annan tried to show his majestic side: "Have you arrived in Louis City?"

"Didn't you say last night that it would take two more days?" Fast appeared on the other side of the portal, which made Annan feel uneasy: "Huh? You have a new love?"

"She is my second sister, Layla."

"Oh, you want to see what fish I caught today?"

Before Annan asked Fast, he took it upon himself to hold up a half-length marlin: "It's really rare to see. Look, its head is as sharp as a spear..."

"It's not as big as what I caught in the morning." Layla glanced at it and said.

Annan felt that the atmosphere seemed to have changed.

“The fish here are harder to catch than in Xingyue Bay,” Fast said.

"But I caught 50 pounds this morning."

"I caught fish much bigger than that when I was in Xingyue Bay,"

"I haven't seen it."

"Annan knew, he even snatched a fish from me."

Annan didn't know whether Michael was a disgrace to the mage, but Fast must be a disgrace to the warrior.

Annan closed the portal, and in order to regain the lost majesty, he opened the portal to Breeze City.

"Lord of Olmedo, report on the recent developments of the McCann Ratman."

Olmedo had not yet adapted to Annan's formality, and saw a girl standing next to Annan. His light blue eyes swept over the long black hair that was the same as Annan's:

"Hello Leila Reeves, I'm Jeffrey Olmedo."

"Olmedo...the person who killed...attacked my brother was your father?" Leila's liveliness faded.

Annan felt that the atmosphere seemed to have changed again, and he was ready to close the portal while they argued.

"...I'm sorry, my father had been contaminated by rat men at that time..."

Leila stopped asking and turned her attention to the portal.

"Is this a portal?" Leila narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why don't you use it to contact home?"

"The portal needs anchor points, I don't have any extra anchor points..."

Layla said sadly: "But my sister is alone in Osurund and is lonely..."

"Olmedo, is there a new anchor point in Breeze City?" Annan asked her softly.

If the rat people continue to move north, the probability of Star Moon Bay and Osu Lund Territory being attacked by rat people is 50-50. An anchor point placed in Osu Lund Territory will make it easier for him to transfer his family and people there.

Xingyue Bay is enough to accommodate them. Moreover, after deceiving the second sister Leila, it would be no big deal to deceive the eldest sister Itilia.

"Yes or no?" Olmedo asked rhetorically.

"...find a way to find it."

Annan closed the portal and looked at Leila who was still in the study: "I'm going to bed, aren't you going to rest?"

"oh."

Leila finally returned to her room honestly - just next door to Annan's bedroom. The scenery outside the window is equally outstanding.

After saying good night to each other, Annan cleaned the little spider's glass bottle, took off his mage robe, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.

A familiar feeling captured Annan who fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting in the sacred church. After the thirteen rat clans went south, the meetings in the Sacred Temple seemed to become more frequent.

Dang——dang——dang——

The sudden echo of the throbbing bell brought Annan almost back to reality, and a solemn whisper floated from the Thirteen Thrones in the center:

"The entire Violet Kingdom has fallen, and the king and his bloodline have fallen..."

Ulmit is homeless... Annan thought, looking at the front row of the hall - there seemed to be one more vacant seat in the first row.

"The McKean clan is still heading north, and they are not far from the Kingdom of Ruikan... King Ruikan, be prepared."

The echoing words received no response, but another loud voice sounded: "The Kingdom of Ruikan'er has not yet selected a new king."

"Puff, puff, puff—"

A strange noise caught Annan's attention, and he looked at the source of the sound. Khamis VI, who was sitting one seat away from Annan, waved to him.

Annan leaned a little, attracting the attention of the figure in the middle.

"Feel sorry……"

As Annan spoke, the fog that filled his face dissipated.

"It's nothing..." the mysterious leader who appeared to be a woman said, "Are you tired like this? You can lie down."

"No need..." Annan replied shyly and asked Khamis VI what was going on.

"Don't you know yet? Something happened in the capital, and Crowe is looking for you."

"Who is Crowe?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Crowe is the eldest prince of the Ruikaner Kingdom and the acting king..." Hamis VI lowered his voice and said anxiously.

"The North is a remote place..." Annan made excuses to cover up the fact that he never cared about politics: "Arrest me? Why?"

"They said that you colluded with the second prince Vitalig with the intention of treason. You don't even know this. It seems that you were wrongly accused." Khamis VI muttered, "The second prince committed suicide by taking poison, and it won't be long." Your wanted order will arrive in the north in a few months, and maybe the soldiers who captured you will arrive with the wanted order."

"Do you need help? You're such a good-looking person." The female leader spoke again and hugged Annan, but because it was just a dream, she passed through it.

"Uh...thank you...no need..."

Annan straightened up and heard the words of the High King echoing: "Lords near the Kingdom of Rekaner, please stand up."

A few figures stood up sporadically in the sacred hall. They were shrouded in mist. Annan couldn't help but wonder, are there any familiar faces among these figures?

"Please inform the acting king to keep the Ratmen out of the north..."

In addition to concern and indifference, the people around them looked at them with some schadenfreude - don't think they would be too united. Even the Thirteen High Kings don't mind losing one of the Thirteen Skaven clans at the expense of the Kingdom of Rikaner.

The Holy Temple Council ended, and Annan emerged from the dream.
