A strange world

Chapter 360 Section 18. Annan’s sincerity

In the dark and damp dungeon, painful wails and whispers echoed in the depths.

Xian Na was sitting on the cold rock wall, her raised right hand was shackled on the wall, and her head was lowered.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but the torches on the wall cast a long and narrow shadow outside the dungeon corridor.

Xana raised her head due to the sound of footsteps, her eyes in the messy hair staring coldly at the figure outside the dungeon.

"How much do you want?"

A hoarse, magnetic female voice sounded: "How did you know we wanted money?"

"You letting Suni go shows that you know that the groom has no money." Xian Na raised her head, her downfall and situation did not cover her pride: "Let me go, and then prepare the room and food, so that the Waters family can Consider giving you more money."

Wow——

The cell door opened, and the figure walked into the dungeon. The face cannot be seen clearly, only the graceful outline outlined by the firelight behind it.

She squatted in front of Xian Na, held her chin, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Are you the daughter of that bitch? They are exactly the same..."

"Don't say that about my mother!"

"Look, even when he's angry, he looks so... making you want to bully him."

Xian Na shook off the hand pinching her face and realized that the other party was not just for money.

"Who are you?"

"Don't be so cold. I'm your mother's friend."

Xian Na responded coldly: "She has no friends who would kidnap her daughter."

"Xianna said that, I'm really sad..."

Xian Na stopped talking. The woman in front of her was worse than Annan's finger.

No matter how much he fiddled with, there was no response. The disinterested woman stood up and said, "Just stay here. You can go out then."

Watching her step out of the cell, Xian Na suddenly said: "Who are you?"

"Just an old friend of your mother's."

…

Annan, who felt heavy in his heart, came to the flower bed and looked down at the tabby cat lying in the flower bed.

It seemed that because the sun was blocked, the sleeping tabby cat turned over, revealing its dirty belly, and opened its eyes.

"...Are you okay?"

"If the sun makes you feel comfortable, just go to sleep."

The tabby cat stretched out in the flower bed and began to roll around.

"I saw you in the alley." Annan asked casually, "Do you have a large range of activities?"

Annan was still suspicious of this talking cat. The golden dragon of the human city-state in the game, or the henchman of the King of Sin?

"This is all cats' territory, meow."

Annan couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub the tabby cat's belly. After a while, the tabby cat turned over and sat upright: "Do you have anything to eat?"

"I'll bring it to you later."

Annan asked the tabby cat to wait for him here, got up and returned to the mansion, and said to the waiter who was looking over here: "Stop chasing that cat away. If your boss questions you, tell him that I asked you to do this. "

"Uh...good guest."

Back in the room, Martin was still sleeping soundly. Annan did not wake him up, washed his hands with water, took out two bottles of magic potion from under the bed and went out again.

I bought some pieces of dried meat for the tabby cat, and let it hide on the eaves to eat so as not to be snatched away by the greedy children, and rushed to the tavern to join Suni and the others.

Black Gold Tavern, it was in this tavern that Xana and Suni were captured.

Annan rushed to the street and saw Luther King and others looking confused. They should have gained nothing.

The result was exactly the opposite. They faced Annan and talked in a hurry: These students actually investigated some information, but the problem lies in the tavern.

"The tavern owner should know something, but he won't tell us."

These non-heirs and second sons of wealthy aristocrats will at most be treated politely by the tavern, but they will not give in.

Annan's eyes fell into the distance, where a suspicious-looking guy was looking over.

"Take me there." Annan looked back.

…

Bang!

The door of the tavern was almost opened, and young students crowded around Annan and walked into the tavern, which was deserted during the day.

"You are in trouble." Luther King, who was arrogant one moment, stepped aside the next moment, "Your Highness, this is it."

The bartender was so frightened that he couldn't hold his glass, and the thugs who rushed to the hall because of the noise were also silent.

"you……"

Luther King hid his freckles and showed them his nostrils: "Call your boss!"

Seeing the handsome and noble boys surrounded, the bartender believed it and hurried upstairs.

Annan took advantage of the gap to look around the tavern. This place should be able to fill up his elemental army and give the local local snakes a bit of a sorcerer shock.

Not long after, the well-built tavern owner ran down.

"It turns out to be Mr. Annan."

"you know me?"

"You defeated the genius of Syltovis Academy by yourself. The guests have been talking about you for the past two days."

"Then you should know why we are here."

Annan's directness made the tavern owner freeze. Annan didn't give him time to find a reason, and continued: "We are investigating privately just because we don't want to alarm the college. But if you refuse again, it won't be us students who appear next..."

The tavern owner's expression changed, and Annan's tone softened: "You don't have to suffer for a group of vampires, right?"

The tavern owner had no choice but to tell the truth: vampires and succubi were indeed active in the tavern.

But these guys who live in human city-states don't dare to kill people, they just pick some food. And many customers just like this one, so the tavern and them each take what they need.

Despite the alien decrees and curfews, this is Syltovis, the city of innocence—the sin that many years ago was deeply rooted in everyone's soul.

Inertia is a terrible thing. Before it collides with an immovable giant, we cannot expect that there will be no gray areas in such a place.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of changing you. We just want to find the vampire who kidnapped our friends."

As long as they didn't hurt innocent people, Annan had no interest in meddling. "Tell me who they are?"

"Black butterfly..."

The tavern owner lowered his voice and said that they did not come often and that the entire tavern in Sltovis was a hunting ground for these nocturnal creatures. As for where their lair is... no one knows.

Staring at all the pubs? This is impractical.

After coming out of the tavern, Xina's sisters asked: "Is there nothing we can do?"

"There is another way."

…

The curfew in Srtoves discouraged civilians from going out at night. If you are caught by a guard, you will be fined, if you are caught by an evil creature, you will die.

But when you open the door of the pub from the deserted street, you will be surrounded by a hustle and bustle. The noisy mercenaries, the exposed girls, and the bard's lute are like walking into another world.

That night, the door of the Shark Tavern was pushed open, and two unfamiliar faces walked into the tavern. The eyes of the women and some men fell on one of the figures, their eyes glowing.

Annan and Alice sat down at an empty table and looked around the tavern and the guests who were looking at them and giving them flirtatious looks.

This was Annan's plan: to use himself as bait.

Alice is responsible for protecting Annan during battle.

"Have you wanted to do this for a long time?" Alice's tone was meaningful.

"I just want to get paid for rescuing Xian Na." Annan said sincerely.
