A strange world

Chapter 439 Chapter 96. Receive the inheritance of the Violet Kingdom

Wherever the dirty, insidious, and gluttonous rat tide passes, there is complete desolation.

The most brutal wars are like a poor imitation in the land where ratmen are infested. It seems that everything except sand and gravel is within the gnawing range of their rodents, leaving only a desolation and filth.

There were also the circling crows that never dispersed.

Annan couldn't help but think about what would happen if the McKeon clan went upstream and attacked the Middle-earth east of the strait... Was the McKeon clan wiped out by the human coalition?

The New Initial sailed out of the strait and began to sail north, and the old violet soil emerged on the land.

The same devastation and decay, the rotting fur and feces attracted mosquitoes like a black mist. Annan remembered that this scene was recorded in the New Initial's logbook.

Ironically, the devastated land doesn't feel like purgatory because all the corpses have been eaten by the Skaven.

On the left is the increasingly deep sea, and on the right are the hopeless gray ruins. They are in this kind of situation that makes people even less interested in playing cards, and the same human emotions linger around them, until Count Ulmit's special camp appears. On the horizon.

It was a bunch of floating platforms connected by various sailboats, fishing boats, and sampans, with animal bladders tied to them filled with air as buoyancy.

Ratmen hate water. As long as there are no radical ratmen elders leading the team, the rats will not pay attention to this floating platform hundreds of meters away from the land.

The appearance of the New Initial was quickly discovered by the people on the pontoon, who guided the three-masted sailboat to dock on a solid wooden board.

Count Ulmit, dressed in bearskin, arrived surrounded by servants and laughed loudly: "Have you changed your mind?"

Annan appeared on the side of the ship: "Are you recruiting my people in front of me?"

"Annan! My little friend, have you come to join me too!" Count Ulmit shouted in surprise.

The chief mage who was following him calmly greeted: "Hello, Annan."

"Hello, Farias," Annan replied.

"Congratulations on standing firm in Middle-earth. This is not an easy task."

"Thanks."

Although Annan did not encounter any setbacks.

As the crew pushed up the stairs, Annan talked to Count Ulmit: "They rushed to my new territory and said they met you, so I came and brought some seeds you will need."

Annan did not discuss remuneration, and now is not the time.

"My brother, you have done me a great favor."

Count Ulmit embraced Annan warmly and patted him on the back after he stood on the shaky floor.

"I'm going to prepare a great banquet for my friends!"

Annan followed to the felt tent at the core of the floating platform. Not surprisingly, Count Ulmit's "banquet" was very simple, only containing fish and shellfish, but Annan and Count Ulmit were very happy - these were two lords who had escaped from the rat tide and knew each other. The joy of being alive.

Count Ulmit, who looked like he was about to become an old man, complained bitterly that his camp was destroyed several times by rat tides and he had to hide on the sea.

"Didn't you use cement?" Annan remembered that she initially delivered a large amount of cement to him.

"The high walls of your Xingyue Bay don't stop them..." Earl Ulmit opened the curtain and pointed to a row of low walls on the land in the distance: "The speed of killing rats is not enough, no matter how high they are, Walls are useless.”

Annan understands this very well.

Count Ulmit continued to complain. For example, it took him so long to find more than a hundred survivors, such as shortage of food, shortage of clothing, and shortage of resources.

"It doesn't matter, my route will go back and forth here. As long as there is Jinnar, anything can be sent here."

Now it’s time to properly talk about some compensation.

"Don't worry, I still have a lot of treasures, and I will bring them to you soon!" But this Earl of Ulmit, who has a rough appearance and a delicate heart, has been avoiding him.

Annan guessed that he had guessed his purpose.

In the end, it was the chief mage who solved the riddle: "Your Majesty, King of the North, let us be honest with each other. Why are you here?"

"The legacy of the Violet Kingdom..."

Count Ulmit was not a woman, so Annan simply got straight to the point.

"I can't do it...Annan." Count Ulmit put down his last bottle of wine and said seriously: "I can't betray my kingdom, my surname..."

"You don't need to betray them."

“I am handing over the possessions of the kingdom to others.”

Annan decided to make up a story: "I have a friend, his name is Fast."

"The tavern owner?"

Count Ulmit still remembered Fast. He always beat him in the tavern.

"That's him. He is an elite warrior with a story. He and his companions fought together and finally stood in front of the treasure that belonged to the brave. But they had a dispute over who owned the treasure, and were finally robbed by the hidden ranger. The treasure was taken away, and they had nothing left... Earl, do you want to share the kingdom's legacy with your allies, or do you want the Skaven and the Gold Diggers to take everything away?"

"The rat men are looking for living people, and the gold diggers are looking for dead things." Farias said suddenly.

Even the chief mage sided with Annan, and Count Ulmit changed his mind - or maybe he was just bargaining: "You convinced me. But I want nine shares."

"I can accept it, but this is not the price an ally should have."

"Then eight shares." Count Ulmit said cheerfully, fearing that Annan would be dissatisfied and said: "I only know the treasure locations of many nobles. I have the map, and you have the people."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Annan stopped bargaining and shook hands with Count Ulmit who was smiling.

At the next banquet, Count Ulmit asked the Gem City and learned that Annan had a floating city. He revealed Annan's same longing and then asked Annan to buy him an arcane energy core. He was willing to spend 60 Buy 10,000 gold coins.

The price of a low-level... high-level arcane energy core is 500,000 gold coins, but the previous arcane energy core used Oulin's qualifications, and Annan also had the qualifications to buy arcane energy cores for 400,000 gold coins.

But it's not cost-effective to sell your precious qualifications just for two hundred thousand gold coins.

"I will try to help you contact the seller." Annan said.

Late at night, Annan returned to the New Initial, which was anchored by the pontoon, and began to meditate as usual.

But tonight the magic whirlpool became unusually restless, like waves surging. When the meditation ended, Annan found that his head was much clearer.

Annan stood in front of the mirror, her skin became delicate and her face became softer? Or do your eyes become brighter? He couldn't tell the difference.

He picked up Lily at his feet and touched its head. After studying the magic vortex for a while, I found that I still couldn't do anything except summoning, so I lay down on the bed to rest.

When Annan had just fallen asleep, a snow-white head popped up in the corner. As if attracted by Annan's changes, the white cat jumped on the bed and stretched out its paws to stroke his head.
