A strange world

Chapter 294 Chapter 147. What happened in the capital

Annan guessed that Kerberos deliberately landed here, hoping to shock the northern country bumpkins who had never seen the world - and he did it. Annan was indeed briefly immersed in that magnificent and fantastic kingdom of God on earth. Compared with the royal capital, the prosperous Xingyue Bay is like a small fishing village.

But Annan firmly believes that Wangdu has the present and Xingyue Bay has the future.

After entering the Royal Capital, the traces and defects of chisels and axes on the city wall, the bumpy gravel roads on the streets, and the old houses on both sides corroborate Annan's thoughts... In other words, the walls, streets, and buildings of the Royal Capital are full of traces of time. .

The Holy Grail Knight Mel was recognized by the city guards when he entered the city, "Sir!" The officer saw the Holy Grail Knight just like the Xingyue Bay guards saw Annan.

"Tell the garden that Annan Reeves, King of the North, is here to visit."

"Okay sir!"

The city guard hurried to the inner city on horseback. Annan asked a little strangely: "Faru Barros, the king of the north in the royal capital, said that the rat people were blocked outside the city. Why are there no traces of war here?"

This was what the eldest prince said in the Holy Temple Council, but Annan did not reveal that he was also a member of the Holy Temple.

"Because the royal capital is very big."

Mel said that the scope of the royal capital is comparable to a county. The Ratmen were just approaching the border, not approaching the city as imagined.

The crowds of people coming and going showed that the royal city was still prosperous and that the people were not affected by the war - I would have believed it if I hadn't seen the rat tide in the southern border all over the mountains and fields of Annan through the portal.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded from deep in the street, and the city guard came to the city gate with a group of welcoming knights and a carriage.

The welcoming knights dismounted and caressed their chests. The Holy Grail Knight said to them as if looking at his own children: "I leave the King of the North to you."

"Aren't you coming with me?" Annan said in surprise.

In the envy of the knights, Mel stretched out his hand and put it on Annan's head, blessing him. The overflowing golden light did not disappear on Annan. He said: "The golden soul will make no one hurt you. I still have some Things need to be done. But divine magic can only block attacks on the body, soul, and mind, as well as verbal attacks..."

"I know what to do. If someone hits me on the left cheek, hold out my right cheek and let him hit me!"

"Young king, you don't have to be like this."

"It's very necessary." Annan said seriously.

Who knows what is going on in the capital, whether the people in the palace garden are humans or rat people... So don't offend anyone, it's better to collude with the rat people - when the disaster strikes, Annan has time to shout "I am my own rat" !”

Mel began to wonder if it was the right thing to bring this excellent king to the capital.

Annan looked at Kerberos again. "I also have something to do. Aren't you holding my scroll? Just leave if you don't want to stay." The legendary mage said impatiently.

Why are legendary spellcasters so bad-tempered? It’s okay, be nice and start with Kel Bellows.

"Where do you live? I can visit you."

"You..." Kerberos turned into the twisted shadow he had when he first met, and melted into the sunlight.

The legendary mage ran away, and Annan looked at the Holy Grail Knight.

"You can meet me on the lake island." Mel said kindly.

"Where's Kerberos?"

"Little Bat is the contract mage of Grand Duke Babataud. You can meet him at the Grand Duke's manor."

"Little Bat?"

"Because he liked to wear a cloak when he was young. From the back, he looked like a little bat." The Holy Grail Knight smiled.

Saying goodbye to Mr. Meier, Annan got into the messenger carriage and headed for his residence along the bustling street.

The attitude of the welcoming knights was a bit subtle. They kept quiet during the march, treating Annan as a guest, but with a hint of rejection.

The outer city is where the common people live, and the inner city at the foot of the highlands is where the nobles and rich people live. After passing another city wall, the welcoming knight escorted the carriage to a secluded place in the northern city. Some elderly maids were pruning shrubs and grass in the garden.

The knight captain said that this was once the residence of Princess Seles...

"You want me to live with the princess?" Annan suspected that the royal family had impure motives.

"This is the minister's idea, and it has been almost twenty years since His Highness Seles left the king's capital," the knight captain hesitated... The king's authority obviously wanted to humiliate him by placing the king of the north in a woman's place, and the Holy Grail Knight's The introduction means that the King of the North is half one of our own...

"I'm OK."

Annan dismissed the knight captain's problem and took the initiative to get out of the carriage.

The servants here are all old. An old maid led Annan to the bedroom on the third floor: "This is His Highness's previous room. The bedding is all brand new."

The terrace faces the palace garden surrounding the mountain, and the mage tower of the royal capital can be seen from the window.

Annan is satisfied with this temporary residence. Wandered around the garden and came to the street. Even Xingyue Bay can't compare to the exquisite and luxurious buildings. The number of professionals is much less than that in the outer city, replaced by frequent patrolling soldiers.

What surprised Annan was that he actually saw the Susan spinning machine - it was still a spinning machine with an authentic logo printed on the lower right corner, coming from Xingyue Bay.

It was placed in the middle of the clothing store. The clerk had just finished wiping the spinning machine and then knelt in front of the machine to pray. Annan couldn't help but ask him what he was doing.

The clerk replied that the spinning machine always broke down for no reason. Later, the spinners discovered that after cleaning and appeasing them on time, the spinning machine was no longer so easy to break and the cotton yarn produced was better, so it was passed down.

Annan felt a certain emotion well up and suppressed it again.

Never mind, this is the wizarding world.

A pile of earth, a pool of water, a ball of fire, and a stream of wind can all become elemental beings. Why can't a spinning machine become a spinner or a cotton element?

Annan continued to wander and casually walked into a restaurant when he was a little hungry. Sitting by the window of the elegantly decorated hall, Annan ordered a lamb soup and white bread, watching the people passing by on the street and thinking.

The Kingdom of Ruikan'er has not yet decayed. As a royal capital with a population of millions, it is still vibrant and prosperous.

Therefore, Annan couldn't understand even more. How could the royal capital not even react when the Ratmen attacked the Extreme North County, three counties away? If the rat man hadn't been clever and wanted to use Faru Barros to catch him so that he could declare it, the royal capital would have become the rat man's nest.

So what are the Skaven plotting?

The current royal capital is like a large breeze city. He was looking for clues of the rat-men in Breeze City a year ago, and he was looking for clues of the rat-men in the capital a year later. And coincidentally, the scavengers in both places were not of much use.

Annan, who was waiting for the meal, couldn't help but mutter: "Destroy countless rat people and uncover the rat people's conspiracy. I should be the centurion."

"Being a centurion is not that easy."

A figure sat opposite Annan.
