A strange world

Chapter 466 Section 123. The leaves of the World Tree will also explode

"What’s wrong with you?"

It seems that since Annan came back, Della has become a little strange...for example, she is always very close to herself.

Annan has seen Della standing behind him more than once when he turned around, or when he woke up late at night, he saw her standing in front of the bed.

Although Della is Annan's nominal bodyguard, the distance is still too close.

While bathing, Annan secretly asked the elf mentor when the elf's estrus period was.

"...Elves don't have estrus."

Annan seemed to hear Elimoas saying that she didn't like money, Martin didn't like eating apple pie, and Layla didn't like fishing jokes: "Then how do you... how do you find a partner?"

“Feel with your soul.”

"Wow."

"We are going back to the Elf Court. Are you ready to talk to your Elf Mentor?"

"I think it's good for you to be like this..." Annan said this first, but felt timid. The elf mentor could not crawl out of the leaves of the World Tree and eat himself. "What you become will not affect our friendship."

"I'm very happy that you can say that..."

After finishing the conversation with the elf mentor, Annan put on the mage robe and let Della in from the door.

Della misunderstood something, so she came in and started taking off her leather armor.

"That's not what I meant!" Annan said frankly before Dai La took off her clothes: "Dela, you have been acting strange recently."

"...That Leaf of the World Tree is attracting me."

"Is this it? I can't give it to you..." Annan took out the leaf of the World Tree belatedly, and seeing Della's eyes fixed on it, he asked tentatively: "But can I let you hold it? "

"Thank you for your trust, but holding the leaves of the World Tree is useless."

"What about soaking in water to drink?"

Della's head, which didn't hold much, stagnated for a moment: "I don't know..."

Annan asked the elf mentor again how he could distinguish the power of the leaves of the world tree.

"The power of nature only exists in the leaves of the World Tree itself. Water soaked in the leaves of the World Tree is useless... right?" The Elf Tutor's hesitation only lasted for a moment, "But I don't recommend you do this. If you use it incorrectly, the power of nature will be destroyed." Give way."

"What will happen?"

"...Your territory will turn into a forest."

"That doesn't seem to be a big deal?" Annan was thinking about how to green Gem City.

"...You will turn into nourishment."

The scene of saplings growing from their flesh and blood appeared in Annan's mind, and the leaf of the world tree instantly became hot to the touch. This is much more dangerous than an explosion...

Putting away the leaves of the World Tree, Annan raised his head: "You heard it all."

Annan came to the second floor, where Ingrid was giving advice to Itilia.

In addition to Annan, who is the city lord, and deputy city lord Itilia, Ingrid is the assistant to the city lord and also serves as the Ministry of Interior, handling internal affairs together with Francois. Yili Rubble Construction Department, Soruman Bronzebeard Equipment Department, Losi served as the Guards Captain, and Fermi commanded the Hellfire.

The structure of Xingyue Bay was basically maintained, and Olmedo's cronies were filled into these departments.

But Ingrid thought they had an important vacancy: "We still lack an envoy."

"What will the messenger do?"

"Receive and visit monarchs and lords of other countries, maintain contact with them, convey news, and conduct war negotiations and trade negotiations when necessary."

"Sounds like something I've been doing."

Ingrid said "Hmm": "So you didn't look like a city lord before."

Annan thought for a while: "I have a suitable candidate, but he hasn't come back yet."

It's the bard.

Thanks to "Betal's Redemption", the bard was only one step away from the elite when they evacuated the North, and he should already be an elite after the flowering of Middle-earth.

It is not a big problem to let an elite bard serve as the envoy of Gem City, but his unreliability is the same as Mr. Fast - who knows where he has traveled?

"I'll ask Francois." Annan walked out.

Itilia planned to ask the guards to call Francois over, but Ingrid stopped her: "If you don't let Mr. Annan go out, he will really have nothing to do."

North of Gem City, the vast wasteland here is being loosened by earth elements pulling plows. Annan found Francois at the wooden shed built by the roadside. The necromancers were also there, learning farming techniques from him.

Annan asked him: "Didn't you meet the bard outside?"

"No, but I think the bard is coming back soon."

"Why?"

"Remember when we were mistaken for Andy earlier? That guy would soon be welcomed as a 'big celebrity' and then come over knowing what we were doing here."

"Or are you addicted to it?"

The necromancers reminded Annan of something: "You met bandits when you came here, right?"

"I was frightened by them..." the female necromancer with black lips said aggrievedly.

Annan ignored the fact that the necromancers who worked with dead bodies were afraid of living people and asked for details.

Francois followed and suddenly said: "They may not be bandits."

"Why do you say that?"

"Those bandits have nothing, how dare they come near Gem Bay? I looked through the exploration records of Gem City and found that we had a bit of a conflict with the 'Mad Dog Archduke'... Don't you know?"

"Well...of course I know." Annan skipped the awkward topic, "So you suspect that they are the informants of Mad Dog Archduke?"

"I can't think of any other reason."

"Then let the Musketeers test it out first."

After all, the Musketeers' opponents have always been rats, and they have never fought against human forces.

Annan originally wanted Losey to go there. He and Femi happened to be fighting wits with the Ratmen in the Violet Old Land, and the other was fighting against the enemy in Gem Bay, but they couldn't get past Ingrid.

"I want to go too!" When Losi shouted, Ingrid said expressionlessly: "You are Lord Annan's personal guard now."

Losey just shrank back like a quail.

Fermi took away most of the main force of the Musketeers, leaving only a few new recruits, which was an opportunity to train them. The captain was replaced by a young man named Jack - one of the thirty-four Jacks of Xingyue Bay.

Now there are only eleven left.

Annan was still uneasy and asked ten earth elements to follow them quietly. As a result, in the evening, Annan got the news that this group of recruits had solved a group of "bandits" and captured the leader of the bandits.

When Annan arrived at the camp, the faces of the recruits were filled with the joy of victory.

"You still took the risk."

"We didn't, sir. We were just watching from a distance. When they saw that we were not even professionals, they rushed over..."

Jack proudly dragged his prisoner out from behind.

"We finally found one that wasn't sieved."
