A strange world

Chapter 657 Chapter 54. Leaving the city

Annan is the leader of the weirdos and a former prison inmate... The weirdos don't mind him being the warden.

The six monsters left behind are: slug, candle head, sketchpad man, slender dancing shadow, anthropomorphism, and an invisible man wearing a wide-brimmed hat of the original body.

They followed Annan out of the city. The fat noble in the team was out of place, but he felt safer than ever before.

It’s like going back to being a kid and being tucked in by your mother at night when you were sleeping.

The fat nobleman came to Annan's side, pointed to the intersection in front of him and said, "The storage point is right in front..."

"Let's leave it there first, we don't have much time to waste."

Two of the princess's seals have been removed, and it seems that only the last one remains. But the princess's mood made Anan feel like she was...saying goodbye.

Annan's talent for capturing subtle emotions has never gone wrong since he became an elite. The princess must be hiding something else from him.

The fat noble didn't know this, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you catch these weird... guys?"

"It's not me, it's Valencia..."

"The Bishop is still alive?!"

"He is already dead. I just gave his body to the princess..."

Faced with Valencia's death, Annan found it difficult to feel sad, but rather regretful... This may be because he only came into contact with the Archbishop of Valencia on "January 17" who had lost his way and returned.

The fat noble took the opportunity to ask: "Are you really going to kill the princess?"

"Isn't that what you want to do?" Annan asked deliberately.

"I don't want to!" The fat noble's voice became louder, and he quickly lowered his voice, "They said that, and I can only agree..."

"So you don't want to do this?"

"Of course! The princess is the hero who protected Lost City, how could we do such a thing!"

"What if you didn't come out with me?"

"hey-hey……"

The fat noble was just laughing.

He was a smart man and seemed to see that Annan did not want to kill the princess.

It took Annan three days to get from the outer city to the royal city, but it only took one day to return to the outer city from the royal city with a group of weirdos.

The streets in the outer city are more desolate and dilapidated than in the past few days. They have lost their control, there are more and more weird things, and there are fewer and fewer humans. Even the gold diggers are no longer willing to take risks. The remaining gold diggers are as timid as mice. Seeing Annan The group of monsters fled.

Annan followed them out of the city, and the gold diggers screamed "The weirdos are coming out" and ran to the other side of the lake.

Ignoring the group of gold diggers, Annan paid attention to the Swan Lake on both sides of the road.

The lake was quiet and deep, without a ripple in the dead evening... No one wanted to swim in this lake, even if it wasn't weird.

But Annan actually saw a figure splashing by the lake, and the splashing water caused ripples.

"Is it weird?"

Annan wasn't sure. Then, he saw a new ripple quietly approaching the figure splashing the water, joining the ripples he created.

Wow——

The same thick shadow tentacles as in the tower suddenly burst out of the water, and the tentacles were wrapped around the figure who was still screaming.

"Help first!"

The scorched girl moved the fastest. When the candle heads and others were in a daze, she turned into a shadow and melted the shadow tentacles.

The slug turns into a giant slug and jumps into the lake to rescue the figure.

The food in his mouth escaped, causing the being in the lake to let out an angry roar that shook the surface of the lake. Annan asked the members of the Weird Prison to stand in a row - they may not be very powerful, but they seem to be able to scare away a lot of weirdos.

Including the monster in the lake.

"He fainted." The candle head and the slender dancing shadow circled around the young figure.

This was a young man who looked a few years older than Annan.

"Lord Annan, he is pretending to be faint." The fat noble said firmly and even kicked him.

"Try throwing him into the lake."

After Annan finished speaking, the young man got up quickly, knelt on the ground, and pressed his forehead against the wet ground: "Master who can control weird things, I am your humblest slave..."

"I don't need a slave. Tell me who you are and why you are here."

The young man's name is Pumi, a name that makes people all over the street look back when they shout "Pumi" on the streets in the south. It is no exaggeration. Even if they are not named Pumi, they still know people named Pumi.

He is a ranger, but not a professional - it is well known that rangers and bards are most easily impersonated by non-professionals. He's here because he's a gold digger, but he spent several days in Lost City without finding anything valuable - all his luck was spent on keeping him alive.

Pumi recently heard that Swan Lake has a new weirdness, which will reflect the things people desire most...money and women. Pumi, who is crazy about poverty, wants to grab Weird... when he sees Weird appear, he grabs it and runs away.

"Did you see it?"

"No."

"Then how did you fall into the water?"

"I wanted to lure it out by the lake, but I couldn't stand firm..."

Annan continued to ask, "How much do you know about Swan Lake?"

Pumi shook his head and shook off a water stain: "But I know who knows that Old Dahl is the person who knows this lake best!"

"Who is Old Dahl?"

"He is also a gold digger. I know where he is. I will take you there...?" Pumi blinked.

"Not now, I have other things to do."

Pumi told Annan where their gold diggers gathered, and then asked:

"Are you going out of town?"

"Um."

"Then you have to hold on tight. The tentacles that grab me are everywhere, and they love to hold grudges the most."

Wow – Wow –

At this time, there was a strange tide lapping at the lakeside.

Annan looked at the lake, which was becoming increasingly unstable.

"Remember to talk first in the future."

They sped on, the waves on the lake showing unusual ripples following them.

The night is getting darker and darker, and there are fewer and fewer sunsets on the horizon. They seem ready to strike at dark...

When the night fell completely, Annan, who was chased by the waves, felt relieved... not only because he saw the land ahead, but also the Skeleton King appeared on the lakeside.

It raised its staff, and the surging magic power condensed at high altitude, turning into sharp rocks, which smashed into the boiling lake like a violent storm.

"you're free."

Annan let go of the stunned Pumi.

He swallowed his saliva and disappeared nimbly into the depths of the withered woods like a rabbit.

The Skeleton King stopped casting spells and left a turbid lake.

"they……"

The soul fire in his eyes fell on the weird people following Annan... and the funny thing was, they were like quails stuck together.

"My new subordinates." Annan patted Candlehead's shoulders and told them to relax. "They are all humans. After being killed, they became weird but not that bad... Their things are not important. I need them." your help."

"It's getting dark, let's go back first." Skeleton King said.

It's ready for a funny story.
