A strange world

Chapter 670 Chapter 67. Aftertaste

Annan held the princess's hand and walked in the quiet Yiwen City.

The charred girl and the weird prison members who followed him were the only weird things left in the city.

The unsettling factor of the long empty streets has disappeared, leaving only a ghost town.

Perhaps as time goes by, prosperity will soon return here...

Annan saw the World Gate still standing in the square.

Or not.

The World Gate still exists, but the gods and princesses guarding the Lost City have disappeared.

Annan tilted his head and looked at the soulless princess. She was just an empty shell like her feet.

Compared to Annan, who was feeling a little sad, the weird survivors were the saddest.

"Are we going to starve to death..."

The princess who burned herself completely purified the Lost City, leaving only some weird things that had escaped from the surrounding area and the Biersa River.

"Don't worry, you are my subordinates, I won't let anything happen to you."

The main reason is that the wise Skeleton King Leonefa is still there, and he also has a small wooden box that summons merchants.

"I know the warden is the most reliable!" the personification said flatteringly, "and he will do what he promises!"

It was faster to leave the city than to enter the city. After passing through the city gate and arriving at the outer city, Annan saw the light of magic flashing over the camps of the distant southern countries.

As the strange atmosphere disappears, magic power is gradually filling the vacant Lost City.

Several other teams came out of the camp and started exploring the city.

Annan took out the gray robe from the magic ring and put it on the princess, and then sent Candlehead and the others to bring back the things in the basement of the Sphinx family manor and the material storage point of the Church of Order.

Without the weirdness, the gold diggers will probably go crazy again at the end.

Two hours later, they caught up with Annan who was about to leave the city, and then they met the Southern Nations Team and the Gold Diggers Team on the Swan Lake Trail.

The former knew that Annan was a big shot when he entered the camp that day, so he remained respectful. The latter knew that Annan was a ruthless manipulator and kept a distance.

On the way, Annan saw some buds emerging from the soil by the lake. It won't be long before the ecology around Yiwen City will be restored.

Returning to the tomb, the Skeleton King who greeted them looked at the Princess, his eyes burning with soul fire revealing a hint of nostalgia.

"Do you know her?" Annan asked curiously.

"It should be said that I know her ancestors..."

Annan said with a glimmer of hope: "Do you think the princess can come back?"

"You already know the answer..."

The two princesses, whose souls were split, eventually sacrificed themselves for Lost City...

"What are you going to do?" Skeleton King asked.

"I want to take her with me first...but please hide it for me for a while and don't let Princess Crimson know."

"good."

The Skeleton King began to pack up his things, and Annan went deep into the tomb and opened the portal.

Klein said everything was normal and asked about the changes just now: "Does that beam of light have anything to do with you?"

"Can you see?"

"The whole flower saw that beam of light, and those believers were still praying on the street."

The princess's efforts to purify the Lost City are quite impressive.

Annan was about to tell the whole story, but realized that it would be too troublesome to explain one by one, so he opened the portal in Liberty City and told Olmedo and Itilia at the same time.

From accepting the commission of the Skeleton King and the merchant to enter the Lost City, to collecting humanity for the princess, and then to accepting the commission of the Archbishop of Valencia.

"He asked me to enter January 17th and play him to make Lily have a happy day..."

"Are you calling the cat?"

Lily suddenly jumped out of the portal, grabbed Annan's mage robe and ran into his arms.

Annan hugged Lily, scratched her raised head and continued: "I was thinking, on January 17, 1998... wouldn't it mean that Augusta National was still there?"

"Annan..."

"My fault... Then I easily completed the commission through detailed planning and clever responses... and handed over the identity of the Archbishop of Valencia to the princess."

"Why are there so many girls?" Olmedo suddenly said.

"What do you mean by that?" Annan asked dissatisfied.

"I just think you have too many girls around," Olmedo said, apparently in retaliation for Annan mentioning her father.

Annan shouted angrily toward the outside of the tomb: "Mr. Leoneffa! Some people say you are a girl!"

The Skeleton King was called over by Annan, and Olmedo and the others expressed their respect to it - although they had never heard of Leonefa's name in Middle-earth.

After finally telling the story, Annan let them see the princess again. Her miserable appearance made Olmedo and Itilia express their heartache.

"You should send her back."

"I think so too."

Annan asked the princess to cross the portal and go to Liberty City to recuperate, but the princess showed resistance for the first time after following Annan and was unwilling to leave him.

The Skeleton King said that the body of the lost princess only had instincts. The first thing she saw was Annan, so she would rely on Annan like a newborn animal relies on its mother.

"Then let her follow me first..."

At this time, there was some movement outside the tomb, and the Skeleton King went to see what was going on. The portal was about to disappear, Annan handed Lily to Olmedo.

"The cat wants to follow Annan." Lily's cat paw hooked Annan's sleeve.

"Not yet, I want to follow the Skeleton King..."

"A cat is not a dog. It doesn't eat bones, meow."

"I mean, it's undead and makes you unhealthy."

"What is the undead? What is unhealthy?"

"It'll make you sick."

Olmedo took Lily and held her in his arms.

"When will you come back?" Itilia asked, "The north is not very safe recently."

"Go back after the celebration."

The portal disappeared, and Annan came out from the depths of the tomb and looked at the Skeleton King who had returned: "The southern countries invite us to come over."

"What do you think?"

"They just want to find out what happened in Lost City."

After all, they all saw Annan coming out of the city.

"But there are only ten days left before the Huadu celebration..."

"You attended the Huadu celebration just to get to know the nobles, didn't you?"

…

Annan finally decided to accept their invitation.

The southern countries are very big, and his goal is to form alliances and trade. Of course, the more nobles he knows, the better.

In the evening, Annan and the Skeleton King, who had changed into the king's cloak and scepter, came to the camps of the southern kingdoms.

No ladies, rat maids, just a bunch of old nobles trying to find out what's going on.

Annan's statement was that he knew nothing.

Of course these old foxes wouldn't believe it. After all, everyone saw Annan coming out of Lost City with a few weirdos.

They pieced together the truth through clues and Annan's behavior:

The princess who was far away in Huadu gave the ring to her most trusted knight and asked him to rush to the City of Strange Stories to activate the power left by the gods and completely purify the strangeness.

Faced with the excuses they prepared, Annan had no choice but to admit: "I just did something trivial..."
