A strange world

Chapter 671 Chapter 68. Return

The opposite is true for banquets.

The Skeleton King chatted happily with the big shots, while Annan stood in front of the window bored, standing with Volna who had a brief conversation.

"You don't seem to like parties." she asked.

"Because it's not interesting."

Either exchanging benefits or exchanging body fluids, the social attribute of the banquet is just that.

"I think it's okay..." Volna crossed her arms, "It's really not interesting here, but the banquet in Venetian City is quite fun."

"Have you ever heard of magic images?"

"what is that?"

"The new thing I invented... is more lifelike than a stage play, and I'm going to make it public during the Huadu celebration."

"The Flower Capital Celebration...? I don't know if I have time to go there..." Volna glanced at the clan leader standing with the Skeleton King: "Our family is in the Pablice River, and we will go back after this time. .”

Annan didn't know where the Pablice River was, but he knew it was far away: "If you go to Huadu, come find me. We should leave now."

"Okay." Volna hesitated, looking at Annan's cheek, "Aren't you going to stay for a while?"

"The princess is still waiting for me in Huadu."

"All right."

Volna leaned forward, as if she wanted to kiss her face to face to say goodbye, but Annan avoided her and returned to the Skeleton King with the girl's resentful eyes.

"Go back?" Skeleton King lowered his head and said.

"Um."

If you set off now, you should be able to reach the Necropolis by dawn.

At that time, the Scarlet Princess had just entered the coffin and fell asleep, so he had enough time to weave lies.

The Skeleton King said goodbye to the nobles one by one, and then returned to the cemetery with Annan. In Annan's envy, it used magic to restore the tomb to its original state and summoned two skeleton carriages.

They and the princess took the first one, and the weirdos took the second one.

"I...I haven't left Lost City yet."

"Can we come back?"

"The princess is following the warden, of course she can!"

The sad words of the weirdos reached Annan's ears in front.

"Mr. Leoneffa, I want to entrust you with something."

"About the food for the weirdos?" It lowered its skull and looked at Annan who was sitting with the princess.

The princess wore the large gray robe given to her by Annan to cover her missing right arm. Gray hair spreads around him like a silver blanket. Since she didn't have a blindfold, Annan temporarily tore off a piece of black ribbon and covered her eyes.

This way she looks like a normal person...just lacking in life.

"Um."

"My necropolis holds a few weirdos. I will try to study them when I go back... You don't have to worry about it for now."

The strangeness in Lost City has disappeared, but there are still strange things running out, and the surrounding towns will be in chaos for a while. The Burnt Girl and the others are not short of food for the time being.

"One more thing..." Annan touched the smooth arc seat of the skeleton carriage, "Can you give this car to me?"

"You like it?"

Annan shook his head: "I want to give it to the Tatooine Empire."

Free City and the Empire did not send envoys to each other, and Annan had not met the emperor. However, because of Annan's relationship with his ancestors and what he did in the north, they formed a subtle relationship.

Not allies and partners, but there is some kind of connection.

After all, the Tatooine Empire is too powerful. As one of the thirteen supreme kings of mankind, the size difference between it and Liberty City is like a legendary female dragon standing next to a country boy.

And some suitable gifts will be like country gifts that see shiny things placed in front of the legendary female dragon's cave. When the time is right, it will give some surprises in return.

"One last thing, about everything that happened in Lost City..."

Annan and the Skeleton King colluded to make a good excuse. When he meets the Crimson Princess, he will be able to say...

…

"As soon as I entered the Lost City, I was drawn into a terrifying whirlpool... The Lost City has long been occupied by weirdos. I was chased by the weird ones and fled deeper and deeper. Unexpectedly, I saw the princess... She gave me a ring and let me I went out to find other people for help... I tried to ask for help from the southern countries but was rejected by them. The disappointed princess had to release her accumulated power to seal all the weirdness, but she also fell into a deep sleep..."

Now Crimson Castle will not find any flaws if it asks the human nobles.

"How could they do this!" Princess Crimson was actually angry about the princess's situation: "Those nobles are not even as good as lowly blood slaves..."

The head maid Lucy's attention was on another thing: "You mean the princess is still alive?"

The crimson princess' attention was drawn away by her, and she looked at Annan as he spoke: "Yes, but she has fallen into a deep sleep. No one knows her existence except me."

"But it's still not safe..." Lucy said, and the Crimson Princess nodded in agreement.

"How long are you going to pretend?" As Annan spoke, the crimson princess looked at him again.

"You should have said 'we'," Lucy corrected, and the Crimson Princess nodded in agreement.

"Okay, how long are we going to pretend?"

"After the Flower Capital celebration."

"Then it's too late. The princess will have to sleep for at least a few months, or even longer...Do you...we still want to pretend to be the princess all the time?"

"No?"

"When Lost City returns to normal, the original residents will go back, and the princess is no exception."

"What should we do?"

"After the end of the Flower Capital, we made the fake princess disappear, and then as the queen's knight, I announced that the princess fell into a deep sleep because she released too much power..."

"Then as you said, we will give up our identity as the fake princess after the celebration."

Princess Crimson looked at Annan and Lucy and said something to each other. She wanted to say, "If you decide like this, doesn't it make you very useless?" But she didn't know what to say...

"Your Highness, what do you think of your plan?" Annan suddenly asked.

"my plan?"

"I am your knight and Lucy is your head maid. This is of course your plan."

"Yes, that's it!" Princess Crimson raised her delicate cheeks, "Just follow this plan, so we will go back to Huadu whenever."

Before Annan could think about it, a servant knocked on the door and said that an old man wanted to see Annan.

"It should be Fischer...the descendant of the Puppet Lady I rescued in Lost City. I'll go there first."

"My knight is about to become the subordinate of the Skeleton King..."

Looking at Annan's leaving figure, the Scarlet Princess pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

…

In the cemetery hall, Annan saw Lao Fei waiting in front of the passage.

After getting rid of the depressed and crazy appearance in Lost City, Lao Fei returned to his former aristocratic etiquette and demeanor, until he spoke.

"Grandpa Annan..."

Annan looked at the skeleton guard beside him in confusion: "Your name is Annan too?"

"Gala gala——"

The skeleton guard's jaw clashed.

Lao Fei looked at Annan with uncomfortable reverence: "I'm talking to you, Grandfather Annan..."
