A strange world

Chapter 269 Chapter 122. Wilhelm

Annan woke up from the bed with a start, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

A question sounded in the quiet bedroom.

Annan trembled slightly, raised his head and saw Della leaning against the wall.

"...Why are you in my room?"

"Your assistant asked me to protect you personally." Della replied.

"Well, a horrible nightmare..." The desperate dream still lingers in Annan's mind, "I saw the earth is cracking, the snow mountains are collapsing, countless rats and demons are surging, and all life is wailing in boundless pain. …”

Lingling dim light suddenly appeared, Della pulled out the dagger and looked out the window - a black raven landed on the windowsill.

"That was no dream, young lord."

Sigh: "Sorry for the intrusive visit, but we're leaving."

"Are you a druid?"

"I am the leader of the druids. You can call me Prophet."

"What happened?" Annan lifted the sheet and put on the mage's robe to cover up his white shirt. "Only half of the druids are in Xingyue Bay, and some are in the old soil of the Violet Kingdom to remove pollution..."

"The leader there will tell them." The raven spread its wings, "Goodbye..."

"Wait a moment!"

There are still endless forests in the north that have not been restored, and the druid's suddenness made him smell an unusual smell.

Annan didn't bother to put on his shoes and ran to the window. The dark ravens merged into the dark night, and the druids flew to the east like migrating birds.

At this time, Da De's whisper suddenly sounded in Annan's ears:

"Young lord, the North is no longer a safe harbor. Leave here and go to Wilhelm..."

The lingering dream and the druid's warning were superimposed on each other, and Annan was suddenly out of breath, as if his heart was grabbed by invisible hands.

"What's wrong with you?" Della noticed Annan's unnatural breathing and cold sweat.

Annan forced a smile: "It's nothing...can you still work during the day if you stay vigil at night?"

"I can punish the prisoner while resting," Della said.

Annan nodded gently: "I won't sleep anymore, you go and rest."

Leaving the bedroom, the quiet corridor with magic lights on made Annan relax a little. Come to the study and open the portal to Breeze City.

"I had a dream……"

Anyway, Olmedo said that she liked to communicate, so Annan simply used Olmedo as a diary.

"...I can't escape the influence of the hateful monsters and the corrupted earth now. After I woke up, a Druid leader visited me, and he told me..."

After talking about his dreams and experiences, Annan exhaled a depressed breath: "Something must have happened in the south of the kingdom."

"But the Holy Grail Knight personally leads the team..."

"Can the Knights of the Holy Grail compete with a clan of ratmen?" Annan does not have the belief that people in this world have that the "Knights of the Holy Grail" are immortal. On the contrary, Annan is of the group that believes that "a farmer stabbed the legendary mage to death with a manure fork."

Throwing all the Grail Knights into the Rat's Nest might solve a clan of ratmen, but they can't face a real rat tide...even if almost all the Grail Knights are legends, they can swim in lava and use poison as a drink , the power of blood can feed a swarm of vampires.

"Of course not, but the Holy Grail Knights want to escape... want to retreat, and the Ratmen can't stop them." Olmedo told Annan that the Holy Grail Knights have a lifespan comparable to that of mixed elves, and they have been fighting against the Ratmen for hundreds of years. Fighting against demons, vampires, wars, plagues, famines, and deaths, they have seen countless things.

"I hope what you said is right..." Annan sighed, "Where is Wilhelm?"

"The Old World, the birthplace of mankind, where our ancestors migrated, has another better-known name..." Olmedo pronounced the sacred word: "Middle Earth."

"I still don't know where."

But Annan was illiterate.

As the portal was about to disappear, Olmedo rushed Annan to let him find the map by himself.

After returning to the silent study, Annan looked out the window at the darkness of the sky.

Are you going to see Mr. Victor at this time? Even if he was asking for knowledge, he wouldn't be happy...

Annan planned to wait. The bedroom and study room made him feel dull. He randomly picked a popular novel from the bookshelf and went to the spacious living room. He huddled on the sofa beside the extinguished fireplace and opened the pages.

The time when the attention was focused was very fast, and the eastern sky was filled with mist and light. Not long after, Annan heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Layla rubbed her eyes and walked downstairs, realizing that she was not the first to wake up. She stood on tiptoes and tiptoed close to the sofa. When she was about to pounce on her, she suddenly stopped and asked instead: "What are you doing sitting here?"

"Wait until the library opens." Annan continued to read with his head down.

The sofa cushion shook, and Leila turned over and let out a light sigh: "Why are you so depressed?"

"Is there any?" Annan touched his cheek that looked pale due to lack of rest, "Because I am bearing the pain for you."

"Oh, just take it slow."

Leila stood up, took her fishing gear and straw hat and went out.

"Why don't you wash up before going out?"

"No, no one can be seen on the sea!"

Leila waved her hand without looking back, closed the door, and the figures in the flower field outside the window gradually faded away.

Annan lowered his head and continued reading, thinking that Leila had tanned a bit these days.

The clouds glowed with glow, and the early sun rose, shining on Annan's cheek. Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his suppressed emotions melted away in the morning light.

Annan closed his books and came to the library.

Mr. Victor, who had just arrived, was sitting in the sunny corner, while Soren was sweeping the non-existent dust on the shelves with his feet up. This moment is exactly like that moment.

"Lord!" Sauron's voice became louder, disturbing the napping old man.

"Our lord still has time to come to the library?" Mr. Victor raised his eyelids.

"Just take a look..." Annan didn't see Lindy, but after Sauron came, the library wouldn't need her. "I want to see the map of Allen Continent."

Mr. Victor raised his cane, and Annan followed the direction to find the map of Allen's continent hanging on the wooden frame, took it and spread it on the table.

First look at the top of the map. From the rolling snow-capped mountains all the way down, all the provinces and city-states are hidden, leaving only pieces of territory representing different countries.

Go south from the Kingdom of Ruikan, from the Chaos City-State to the Violet Kingdom, then to the tail of the Principality of Scythia, and then to the Obiris Strait. This strait runs from east to west and is wide enough to easily cover the long and narrow kingdom of Rekaner, dividing the north and the south into two. In other words, humanity is divided into two sides with the Obiris Strait as the boundary.

In the center of Allen's continent, in the center of Obiris Strait, a world island surrounded by land is formed.

There is Middle-earth, the birthplace of mankind, Wilhelm.
