A strange world

Chapter 705 Chapter 102. Go home

Thirty-four connected goblin villages are scattered across the vast putrid swamp.

Humans have no interest in hunting goblins here - a goblin skin only costs a few dozen copper coins. The terrain here and the goblins here are both a headache, so there is no need to go to war.

However, goblins who escape are usually not so lucky. Mercenaries are all short of money. There is no reason not to pick up dozens of copper coins lying on the ground.

So people outside don't know yet, but the goblins of the Putrid Swamp have split.

The next day, Annan, who had an in-depth understanding of this group of goblins, confirmed that they knew nothing. The phrase "we can make it again as long as we have the resources" was also a lie to Annan.

To put it bluntly, how could a remote village have lost ancient technology?

But it cannot be ruled out that they do possess some ancient drawings. Annan left the quest to Dole, and he prepared to return home.

Annan is different. Others can come and go through the portal at any time, and he can only slowly leave footprints on the map. Most of the tasks of the southern trip were completed, and it was time for him to go back.

As a result, just when Annan was about to set off, the goblins of other village chiefs wanted to come and plunder.

The Musketeers fired several shots into the air, and the reverberating sound of the gunfire frightened the oncoming goblins back. Then they slandered the village chief Mark and Dorai as local traitors.

Dorai, who is responsible for dealing with the goblins in the putrid swamp, ignores these voices and spreads the word: Cooperation can be exchanged for supplies, as long as it is not a joke of "cooperate today, rebel tomorrow, and continue to cooperate the day after tomorrow." You can also exchange it with Goblin Golem.

On the first day, a village took the initiative to carry the goblin golem over and returned with a pile of food, clothes and tools.

It shouldn't take long for Liberty City to get thirty goblin golems.

Annan and the others left the putrid swamp. I didn't feel it when I stayed in the swamp, but when I came out, I smelled the stench on each of them.

They spent half a day washing in a stream and spent three days back at the edge of Roxy Province.

Annan paid a gold coin to the ranger who had followed them all the way. They got along quite happily along the way. Annan doesn't look down on others, and the ranger is also a competent mercenary who never gets involved in his employer's personal affairs. He rubbed his hands flatteringly: "Give me more."

"Don't even think about it."

However, Annan still told him that when he was not alive, he could go to the Rotting Swamp to find Dorai and the others.

"Ten silver coins a day?"

"I said don't even think about it."

The newly refreshed people continued on their way, but Annan still felt that there was still that rotten smell on his body... Fortunately, they couldn't smell their smell in the next place - the Kingdom of the Undead.

The nest of the sleeping bone dragon, the passing skeletal giant, the hordes of banshees... the kingdom of the undead is particularly lively at night.

Annan saw the Skeleton King in the cemetery. It told Annan that the Crimson Castle was empty.

"Where is the Crimson Princess?"

"My people say they ended up south."

South? You can't be hiding from yourself...

Annan had no choice but to give up explaining to Princess Crimson. He visited the Burnt Girls - their lives were quite nourishing. They stayed in the necropolis during the day and played with the undead at night to eat.

I was in a dilemma about whether to take them back to Annan. The weird ones are only distributed around the Wenwen City. If they follow him back, they will starve to death.

Annan decided to put them here first, and their mission was to be studied by the Skeleton King. When will Skeleton King find food that can replace the weird ones and bring them back?

Then there are the branches of the world. Annan has been away for about two weeks. It grows faster every day than a flower does for half a month, and now it has bloomed more than a dozen leaves.

In a few days, even the flowerpot won't be able to hold its roots.

Annan wanted to leave the branches of the other world here, but it had been cloudy here for several days in a row, and the rainy season in the south was coming.

At the time of separation, Annan took a month's worth of strange fertilizer and took away a rib of a giant skeleton - which would become the medium between Annan and the Kingdom of the Dead.

Annan and Skeleton King have no covenant, and their relationship is more like friends than cooperation. No one would get an extra "friend card" for their friendship.

They just agreed that Skeleton King would tell Annan if he made new discoveries, and Annan would tell Skeleton King if he encountered some interesting undead. This reminded Annan of the heroic spirit in Liberty City, which caused him to meet the Skeleton King through the portal.

"A rare undead." Skeleton King said.

What distinguishes the undead from undead creatures is whether they inherit and possess wisdom.

Annan, who was on his way back, purposely passed by the Crimson Castle. As expected, there were only a few watchers and human villages left there. What's interesting is that they still don't know about the conflict between the princess and Annan.

The princess would not take the initiative to tell the servants this, and Lucy and Dracula said nothing because they hoped that Annan would come back.

The remaining servants knew no more than the Skeleton King. Annan thought for a moment and left a letter for Princess Crimson. The letter wasn't an apology, it was just an interesting description of his trip to the Fetid Swamp.

After leaving the castle, Annan went to Huadu next door.

In the tavern, Annan hesitated whether to take the Rathole Weird back.

Annan gave up after feeding him a piece of flower cake. Its home is here, so let’s stay in Huadu to cultivate feelings.

But the Scarlet Witch will be taken away - and kept in the Liberty City dungeon.

Annan did not hide his traces, and soon the people from the City Lord's Mansion came outside the tavern and invited Annan to the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan declined the invitation, saying that they were just passing through and would return to China with the princess.

This trip to Huadu allowed Annan to build more than a dozen theater properties in the northern parts of the southern countries. The rest will be left to the businessmen.

As soon as they left Haidu, they encountered the first rainy season in the south this year.

It was about a week's journey from Huadu to Gangduo Territory, but it took Annan and the others almost half a month to reach the Gangduo Territory Basin.

If the rain hadn't lasted "only" a week, they would have wasted even more time on the muddy road.

The South needs more cement than the Middle Earth - Annan, who realized this, told the owners of fifteen theaters the news as soon as he arrived in Gangduo Territory.

In addition to managing the theater, what they have to do is to provide publicity cement.

Annan received warm hospitality in Gangduoling. After realizing what he had done in Huadu, Gangduoling found his own position. The next day, Annan continued north and finally returned to Tuos Port again after two months.

In the afternoon, Annan and the others stepped onto the deck. Annan thought that the shadows would attack them. On the way back, they encountered more than ten attacks. They didn't know if there was any trace of the shadows behind them.

But until the merchant ship left the port, the shadow of Rekaner he was waiting for never appeared...

It seems that he was still frightened by his ancestors.

…

In mid-May of the year 1001 of the Saint Laurent calendar, the merchant ship that had been sailing for a month finally arrived at the long coastline.

Blue dragons and white dragons soar in the sky, and a new city-state stands in front of the bay.

Annan returned to his loyal home of Free City.
