A strange world

Chapter 533 Chapter 190. Succubus Prisoner

Annan saw civilians hunching their shoulders in the sea breeze at the temporary port.

These people are mostly men, with a small number of women, but they are well protected. They looked no different from the refugees driven from the north by the Mad Dog Archduke a few days ago. At most, they seemed to have suffered no harm.

Annan's arrival made them crowd up excitedly, with a familiar light shining in their eyes - they were all residents of Breeze City.

"Losie, go call Olmedo."

Annan's second regret was that there were no Xingyue Bay residents among these people.

"I found these people on the Prey Peninsula and they weren't doing well, so I took them with me."

The Pulai Peninsula is to the east of the Tatun Empire. They have gone far enough...

Olmedo arrived soon after. The residents were stunned for a while before they recognized the girl with bright blond hair and intelligent blue eyes as their city lord.

"There's one more thing I think I should tell you..." Shepard lowered his voice deliberately, "It is said that the Pearl Harbor merchants on the Prairie Peninsula are eyeing you..."

Maritime merchants usually have two faces - they put on a disguise and do business calmly in front of the powerful, and they tear off the disguise and become pirates in front of the weak.

Annan wants to say that there is no fear of pirates. How much stronger can they be than Mad Dog Archduke? But Olmedo said that the strength of territory and the strength of maritime merchants are two parts. Even the Tatooine Empire could not prevent its merchant ships from being plundered by pirates.

Without the elemental legion, Liberty City's merchant ships have magic guns and magic artillery, which lacks deterrence.

Just like the golden dragon who likes to turn into a weak girl and go fishing in the slums.

Anyway, "Thank you for the message," Annan said.

Suddenly, Annan and Itilia raised their heads, and a clear wave of magic power came from a merchant ship that had just docked.

…

Mrs. O'Rourke's age has made it difficult for her skin to be sagging due to constant maintenance, but she still exudes a mature charm under her exquisite makeup. Her loose and gorgeous mage robes cover up her rough and dull skin.

With the help of her servants, she stepped off the merchant ship and looked around: "This is the Free City? It's as beautiful as the magic image." When she saw Annan and others not far away, she chuckled with unclear meaning.

"Why is it her..." Shepard looked at the red mage robe in the distance and frowned.

"you know?"

"Mrs. O'Rourke, a master mage, but no one knows it on the Prai Peninsula..."

When Annan asked curiously, Shepard continued hesitantly: "Because she raised an island... boy."

The woman in red robe walking towards me seemed to be transformed into a demon, and the terrifying blood smeared over the bay——

It was too late for Annan to leave. Mrs. O'Rourke came to them and greeted them elegantly.

"Well... how are you..."

Olmedo, who saw Annan's predicament, took the initiative to contact Mrs. O'Rourke, but Mrs. O'Rourke seemed to particularly like "shy boys" and looked at Annan frequently, almost burning him with heat.

"You guys chat, I'll go back with eldest sister first."

Annan pushed Itilia and hurriedly left the port.

"That Mrs. O'Rourke is not innocent to you," Itilia said as they walked back along the coastal street.

"I won't."

"I know." How could Itilia not know Annan's preferences? "I'm afraid she will."

Just as Annan was about to quibble, there was a noise at the door of the tavern not far away.

Losi ran to investigate and came back with a serious look after a while: "The succubus killed someone..."

"Can succubi get pregnant too?"

"What?"

Losey was stunned for a moment and explained the whole story: a greedy succubus overdosed while serving a guest, and the guest's dying screams attracted the attention of other succubi, who broke in and stopped her.

"Is the guest still alive?"

"Under treatment."

"Spend no effort to save him and deduct the cost from the succubus." Annan thought for a while and used the parchment to contact Belludonna and tell her what happened.

"Call me later and I will punish her myself."

Annan looked at the still-busy tavern in the distance. Fortunately, the accident did not dampen people's enthusiasm.

This is what men are.

"How are the orcs doing lately?" Annan asked Itilia.

Itilia said that the orcs didn't like to have contact with their neighbors. If it weren't for the guards to stop them, they would still want to hunt in the mountains. They didn't understand why Annan kept them but didn't let them do anything.

It has been a week since they came from Free City and they have initially integrated into the environment. Feeling that it was almost done, Annan and Itilia came to the orc's residence.

The orc leader Gal and some orcs came out to greet him. Annan looked at the female orc behind him and greeted him gentlemanly: "Are all your people as strong and beautiful as you?"

Annan thought that this kind of compliment would bring them closer to each other, but the orcs looked like "it's true" and then asked the female orcs to hide behind the male orcs.

"My lord, what can we do for you?" Garr asked roughly.

Annan broke away from the guarded silence: "Okay, I do have some work for you. What are you good at?"

"fighting."

"Skin it off."

"Behead."

The orcs answered one after another.

"I mean career..."

"We are born warriors!" Gal slapped his chest.

Annan was noncommittal. Garr was not even a professional, but he had the power of an elite warrior.

Annan said in a way they could understand: "Construction workers, blacksmith shops, ports, these places all need workers."

And these jobs apply to the entire orc race.

You can't expect female orcs to sew and spin with their skull-crushing fingers.

"Are there no mercenaries?"

Annan shook his head: "The area around Liberty City is very safe, as safe as Wilhelm."

"We are also the best soldiers!" Gal looked at Losi behind Annan and pointed at him: "Please let me fight him!"

Annan did not agree, but asked Losey and the soldiers to demonstrate a formation and walk.

"Can this fight?" Gal said disdainfully.

"It really can't, but it allows the commander to control the war."

In the end, Garr and his people had no choice but to choose several jobs given by Annan. Annan comforted them that they would need to fight in the future, but not now.

It was almost evening when Annan returned to the City Lord's Mansion. He had a routine chat with his elf mentor, but today it was a little earlier than usual.

"Annan, I want to apologize for deceiving you... I am not Yi Rulanze."

Just when Annan was wondering if this was the elf mentor's new interest, she said: "I am Tadel, the envoy of the Elf King's Court."

Annan was silent for a while: "Then why did you suddenly choose to confess?"

"Because Irelanze is on his way."

"You mean the Elf Mentor is on his way from Free City?"

"10..."

"Ten days?"

"9...8...7..."
