A strange world

Chapter 639 Chapter 36. Royal City

The church in the early morning was silent and solemn, without the weirdness and terror of last night.

Annan came out of the church of the Lord of Dawn or the God of Order, and continued to the third city wall above the Lost City.

He was getting closer and closer to the highest level of the city wall. When the sky was about to get completely bright, the first ray of morning light shone on the highest level of the palace. The hazy white exterior wall was painted with brilliant red, like the sun rising in the royal city.

Annan continued to move forward, and when the entire royal city was completely enveloped in sunlight, the last city wall appeared in front of him.

After three days, he finally arrived at the royal city of Yiwen City.

He turned back in front of the city gate. The inner city and the outer city, which had not yet been illuminated by the sun, were still sleeping, while the lake in the distance and the gray land outside had no life at all.

Annan asked the Burnt Girl to appear, followed him, and stepped into the open city gate.

The royal city is different from the inner city...without those houses and shops, the royal city is like a vast academy, full of ancient buildings and spiers.

The towering spiers reach straight into the clouds, gleaming in the dawn light. A wide road with eight carriages running side by side leads to the palace at the top.

The morning sun shone on his body, but Annan couldn't feel much warmth. The towering spiers of the royal city were like silent giants.

Occasionally, malice that Annan could clearly perceive would appear among these giants, and then he would take it back because he burned the girl and the leaves of the World Tree.

Near noon, Annan finally saw the palace in the royal city - the entrance and exit above the steps were blocked by stones, wood and simple decorations.

"anyone there?"

Annan stepped up the steps and came to the simple debris wall.

no respond.

When Annan was about to try to open these things, a trembling shout finally came from the palace: "Who is outside!"

"I am Annan Reeves, from Middle-earth, Lord of the Free City."

Hiding in the palace is either a prince or a noble, and it is a good opportunity to earn fame.

After a while, the trembling shouts came again: "How do you prove that what you said is true!"

"I passed by Huadu when I came here. I met Fatima Sailer and Alison Solo, and I also dealt with the nine major wine merchants. Do any of you know them?"

A faint female voice sounded from behind the wall of debris: "Open the door quickly, he knows Fatima!"

"How do you know it's not weird that's lying to us..."

"I don't care, I don't want to stay here anymore..."

The debris wall began to loosen, and then a strange cry came from inside: "Please let us move these debris first!"

Annan took a few steps back and said to the burnt girl, "I'm going to see the princess, so don't show up yet."

Then he put her body into his arms to avoid being thought of as weird by the princess.

The wall of debris that had been moved away collapsed and revealed a gap. Annan saw several down-and-out nobles holding weapons belonging to the guards and a crossbow.

It's unimaginable that a group of nobles would make themselves so miserable... but it's normal. Unable to cast spells and surrounded by strange things, it doesn't matter how much power and wealth they have.

The nobles also stayed there because of Annan's youth and appearance.

"You...are you alone?" asked the fat middle-aged nobleman with messy golden curly hair. His gold-trimmed clothing showed that he must be a big shot.

“No matter how many people there are, it’s just a drag.”

Annan imitates the nobility of the Crimson Princess. This worked very well. They all thought Annan was some kind of big shot and greeted him excitedly and politely.

"That's right...are you here to save us?"

"That's right. How is the princess?"

After the words fell, the nobles looked embarrassed.

It was the male noble who said, "Please come in first... There are weird things wandering outside the royal city even during the day."

Annan followed them into the front hall, and then the others began to fill the debris wall with quick movements.

"You can come in from the outside, you must be a powerful being."

Annan wanted to say that they just used the wrong method, but even if they used it correctly, without the leaves of the World Tree, without the weirdness and charm, they may not have this effect.

Following them to the front hall, there were dozens of figures sitting in the huge lounge. They looked equally embarrassed, including many figures wearing mage robes.

"Are these the only people left in the entire royal city?"

The fat nobleman said there used to be many more. There are many powerful guards and warriors, but in order to contact the outside world, they ventured out, but there is no way they can come back. They were left hiding in the front hall.

Annan looked around at the nobles who stood up one after another and gathered around excitedly. None of these people had the same gray hair and appearance as the fake princess from Huadu.

"Can you tell me what happened to the princess now?"

"The evil princess caused all this to happen!" A nobleman spoke sadly.

"What?"

Among the survivors' chatter, Annan pieced together the truth of the matter.

In their stories, the princess is paranoid, arrogant, and arrogant, and is the initiator of all disasters. She was overconfident. When the weirdness appeared in front of the rift, she thought she could use the weirdness to impact the seal and let the gods respond to the human world. But she failed, the gods did not respond, and strange things poured into the Lost City from the cracks.

The princess wanted to escape, but was suppressed by the mage of the royal city and sent to the rift to be sealed... But she refused to do so, preferring to abandon her power - the brilliant light that broke out at midnight was the power to seal the strangeness.

"No, this is not the princess's fault..."

Suddenly a voice sounded, and Annan remembered that it was the female voice who knew Fatima Sailor.

She looks a bit like Fatima Sailer, but like a ripe fruit.

An old noble asked her: "What are you talking about, Alyssa!"

"I watched her grow up. She was just weird and affected her will. It's not her fault..." Alyssa said sadly.

Since the princess is the initiator, how should we complete the Skeleton King's mission?

"Sir, as long as you kill the princess, weirdness will no longer be able to enter our world." A mage said to Annan.

"Kill her!"

His words were echoed by others.

"Just to free her..." Alyssa was still sad.

Annan watched them quietly: "Then why haven't you done this yet?"

"We can't...magic doesn't work here," the mage said. He is an archmage, just one step away from being epic.

"me too."

"But you were able to come here."

"Brave warrior, you will definitely save the city of Wenwen..." Alyssa suddenly grabbed Annan's hand and gently pressed it on her chest. "save me."

“Who are you Fatima Sailer?”

It is difficult for such a noble lady to make Annan's mood fluctuate anymore.

"She should call me aunt."

Annan looked around at this group of desperate nobles: "The princess is still in control of Wenwen City, how can you kill her?"

Nobles, you look at me and I look at you. The same archmage took out an apple from the magic ring.

"Give this to the princess to eat, and this disaster will be averted."
