A strange world

Chapter 485 Section 142. The floating city is just a lie

"I'm so angry!"

In the castle hall, the Mad Dog Archduke's face was twisted with anger, like an enraged beast, and he was banging on the armrest of his throne, making the murals in the hall seem to tremble.

"Why didn't the elemental destroy the realm he stole? Why didn't the Druid Avenger take revenge on him!"

The gray-robed mage standing aside said quietly: "We may have thought wrong. That champion warlock is not simple. Grand Duke, we should try to contact him."

"A stray dog ​​driven out by rats from the north is worthy of being mine?" Mad Dog Archduke gradually became quiet, his eyes flashing dangerously like red-hot coals, "A warlock boy... is not impossible."

"Then I'll go prepare to send out invitations."

When the gray-robed mage was about to exit the hall, Mad Dog Archduke said thoughtfully: "You said... is his city-state really a floating city?"

The Tatooine Empire awarded him the Champion Warlock, and he should be eligible for an arcane core.

"I do not believe."

Mad Dog Archduke's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Warlocks are all guys who like to show off. If he really has a floating city, why not make it float? So there is only one possibility... he has nothing!"

"So, Grand Duke Gilles, what are you going to do?"

The Mad Dog Archduke regained his former composure and leaned back in the king's chair. The beautiful maid came over to serve.

"How about we give our future slaves a little trouble?"

…

"What else could there be trouble with?"

Annan looked at Francois who hurried in and said puzzled.

"We're running out of water."

There is no shortage of water in Liberty City. The fresh water produced by thirty large water elements is enough for more than 6,000 people. But now, the only small water elements are in public restrooms.

“Can we dig a well?”

"I'm afraid not. Liberty City is too close to the coast."

The well will also be bitter and astringent.

Annan thought for a moment and said, "I remember there is a river in the forest mountains?"

"It's just a small stream, and it's seven or eight miles away from us."

"Try to see if you can lure him here... Remember to ask Da De for his advice first."

Ingrid is a talented and hard-working person and serves as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture-mainly teaching Minister Da De what to do.

Da De is a seed, she represents the friendship between Annan and the Druid. When a strange druid approaches Liberty City in the future, it will easily blend in due to Daad's presence.

Treebeard must have seen this scene, so he let Da De stay.

Ingrid has special confidence in Annan. She said that it is much easier for you to please the water element than for us to dig rivers.

But Annan really couldn't think of what to give to the water element, so he had to urge Bronzebeard to smelt the copper flowers quickly, and then asked the sailors on the Initial to go to the port to find out what the sea tribe liked.

"Three merchant ships just arrived this morning. You can go to the tavern to try your luck."

Annan was about to set off when he suddenly remembered something: "Shouldn't my subordinates do this kind of thing and then send the results to my desk?"

"Then you want to stay?"

"I'm leaving."

Picking up Lily, Annan ran out of the city lord's palace and put Lily down on the street.

"Have you seen the silly cat?" Annan asked it.

"No."

It seems that Silly Cat has disappeared since last night... Could it be that he ran away with the Druid Avenger?

While taking a walk, Annan asked the residents along the way if they had seen the silly cat, and asked them some suggestions about the church.

The residents without exception supported the idea of ​​placing all the gods in one church.

Annan was too lazy to take a detour, so he entrusted a resident to bring the news to Eli Gravel, and he and Lily came to the tavern.

The taverns in Liberty City are always full of people. There are many reasons. For example, there are only two taverns in Liberty City. For example, most of the residents have savings. For example, the guests who got off the boat have no other place to go but the tavern.

Therefore, the messy tavern did not attract anyone's attention until Annan sat down with Lily.

"...The witch holding the white cat invited me to her room. I thought it was going to be an affair, but do you know what she did?"

In the nearby tavern, two guests didn't know whether they were telling the truth or bragging.

"Isn't that great? The city is full of men..." Another person said with envy.

"What the heck! She's actually going to cook for me! Mushrooms, octopus tentacles, things I don't recognize, a pot of purple paste, and fucking frogs!"

"And fucking frogs!" Lily echoed.

Annan picked up Lily at her feet and said, "That's a dirty word, and little cats are not allowed to say it."

"Fuck yeah."

“Dirty words are not frogs.”

"The cat knows."

Annan left his seat and came to the table of two guests: "Are you talking about witches?"

"An, Mr. Annan——"

They were about to stumble and shout when Annan signaled them to be silent and sat down.

"She is a witch, she must be to your taste!" The guest misunderstood something.

"You said she was holding a white cat?"

"Hmm! A white tabby cat... ah no, white cat, the witch is in the guest room upstairs!"

"Please take me there."

Annan and Evelin behind the counter, who raised their heads and expressed surprise, waved and followed the excited guests to the second floor of the tavern.

Bang bang bang——

The guest knocked on the door. After a while, the wooden door opened, and a quiet girl with an exquisite appearance appeared behind the door.

Her black cloak was stained with a lot of white cat hair. "Meow~" an instigator came and squatted next to her, but it was not a stupid cat.

"My people said that a witch and a white cat came to the tavern. I thought it was my cat." Annan apologized, "Sorry to bother you."

"Are you the city lord's heir?" Her dark gray eyes stared at Annan quietly.

"I am the city lord." Annan said to the surprised young witch: "There is a theater on the street behind the tavern. You will know it after you watch a magic video."

…

"I think we don't know yet... Lord, do we want to test it out?"

"How do you want to test it?" The Lord Watcher on horseback looked at the wheat fields in the distance complicatedly.

The knight captain replied: "We rush over directly. Even if they react, we will have time to retreat."

The lord was expressionless: "Good idea, then go ahead."

"Uh...what about you?"

"I shouldn't steal the limelight from... Grand Duke Gilles' most 'loyal' knight." His tone was sarcastic.

The knight captain paused, then suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at the weeds on the roadside.

Three days later, the knight captain returned to the castle dusty.

"Grand Duke, my sword beheaded countless peasants and burned large wheat fields, while he and his militia could only hide behind the low wall and tremble!"

Mad Dog Duke is in a good mood today. So much so that he just cut out the tongue of the maid who made him angry.

Finally, he no longer had to worry about having a bad guest at home. The most important thing is that he saw through the warlock's lies: the floating city is just a lie.
