A strange world

Chapter 732 Chapter 129. Secret

As a new city-state, Liberty City has various advantages and disadvantages. For example, there is not enough foundation, and the hands are too short——

Although Liberty City has many overseas industries, they all do business locally and are not good at exploring secrets...

Scavengers are well-informed and can help them fill in the gaps.

The centurion started digging and handed Annan a rich shovel. Annan thought her speed was too slow, so he contacted his friend the Elder Earth Elemental and temporarily borrowed some large Earth Elementals to help.

"Are you even related to the elemental plane?" the centurion asked in surprise.

"this is nothing……"

Annan couldn't hide his desire to show off. After all, when he was a scavenger recruit, he was only a first- and second-level sorcerer.

"What is your talent?"

Annan was silent for a while, never wanting to admit that his talent was charm: "Have money."

"I don't believe it unless you lend me some money."

"I don't have the desire to activate my talent right now."

Earth elements are natural miners. Hard rocks in front of them are like mud that can be shaped at will. It doesn't take long to create a spacious underground hall underground.

The underground they were in was at least a few hundred meters away from the castle, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

About ten meters away from where the scavenger dug, they found what the scavenger called a "secret passage", but due to disrepair, the passage collapsed seriously.

The earth elements cleaned up along the dark passage. The scavenger followed Annan up the steps and said that this secret passage used to belong to the owner of the castle and her lover.

"Isn't this the territory of the Morel family before?"

"It has always been the case, but the previous head of the family was a female prince." The centurion lowered his voice, "It is said that her ghost is still lingering in the castle, looking for new victims... Ah!!!"

The centurion suddenly screamed. Seeing whether it frightened Annan, she added: "You have to worry, fresh and delicious little boys like you are the most popular among women..."

Annan was noncommittal: "How are you going to instigate vampires and ratmen to continue fighting?"

"Let me hear your thoughts first."

"I have no idea."

"Aren't you a warlock?"

"Why do you have the prejudice that warlocks are good at sowing discord?"

"This is a very distant story... Once upon a time, there was a warlock..."

"I don't want to hear it." Annan interrupted the centurion, thinking that she was hurt by the scar on her head.

The centurion's solution is to pretend to be a ratman and cause a scene in the castle...No one knows the ratmen better than the scavengers, and even the ratmen don't understand themselves as well as they do. She was confident enough to make the vampires in the castle think, "There's a damn rat-man running in!".

"It's too rough." But Annan didn't think this was a good idea.

"Do you have a better idea?"

"It's just a prototype at the moment... The external environment is that the Morel family is fighting against the Stern clan, but I think the two forces should not be the same internally. As long as we exert some force, we should be able to make them fall into vampires and Ratmen fight, vampires fight vampires, ratmen fight ratmen..."

"Be more specific."

"I said I haven't thought about it yet..." Annan said helplessly, but as it was the first time someone trusted his wisdom, he thought about it seriously: "For example, if you pretend to be a rat man, you will not only cause trouble, but you can also kidnap some vampires and steal some." stuff, and then go to the Stun clan to pretend to be vampires to kidnap some ratmen and steal some stuff..."

"You also said you are not good at provocation!"

Annan remembered that in Breeze City, the centurion was still a very calm scavenger... As for why it became like this, he attributed it to the changes in the status of both parties.

It's as if the vampire servant only sees the majestic and arrogant scene of the Crimson Princess, but does not know her true temperament.

As they approached the surface, they gradually reduced the noise they made. Annan sent the earth elementals back, leaving only one earth elemental to continue clearing the secret passage.

He, Centurion, and Lemon watched the earth elemental work while listening to Centurion talk about the situation in the north.

The actual situation in the North is much worse than the news received by Liberty City. Countless villages and towns have disappeared forever on the earth, and even the city-states that have been invaded by the Skaven are countless...

The McKean clan has taken a big advantage. They rarely deal with the rat people in the north. Because of the long winter, they also have no means to deal with the plague. Therefore, when the rat people carrying the plague invade in large numbers, they are rarely besieged by the rat tide. The city could last for more than ten days - Annan had already seen the horror of the rat tide. If he hadn't escaped by pretending to be rat men, Xingyue Bay wouldn't have been able to hold out for even ten minutes.

Scavengers can only rely on experience to guerrilla on the edge of the rat tide, but it is of no use... The number difference between rat people and scavengers is not simply 1:10. Most of the time, their number difference is more than 1:100,000.

"This is why we have never established a scavenger in your city-state. Not only are we short of people, we are also short of money..."

"Don't worry about money. I will solve it for you."

"You are such a good man, Annan." The centurion said movedly, "I will let them go to Free City right now."

Annan suddenly realized that he had been putting his hand into the pockets of rich people all day long, but a centurion actually put his hand in his pocket?

In front of the secret passage, the earth element dug out a piece of moist soil.

They were not far from the ground.

…

Muffled thunder rolled in the dark clouds for several hours, and heavy rain finally fell on the Serens Mountains.

Williams set out on a rainy night and passed by the cemetery on the ground. No one noticed that a piece of soil in the cemetery was gradually loosening...

Pale lightning flashed across, and Williams landed in the abandoned manor.

The long golden hair turned dark golden after being soaked in water. Williams deliberately did not block the rain to highlight his deep feelings. But as soon as he arrived, he got bad news: the princess's knight was missing again.

Williams stared at the three viscounts and a marquis coldly: "He must have a way to leave the garden and find him!"

"Yes, sir."

The vampire in front of him turned into a black shadow and disappeared in the thunderstorm night. Williams restrained his negative emotions and walked into the mansion with a charming smile.

The Scarlet Princess came to the living room. After greetings, Williams pretended to be casual and asked: "Where is the knight?"

"My knight is resting."

Williams found some topics to talk about. His original intention was to get closer to the Scarlet Princess, but she either said "If this happened to my knight..." or "My knight told me...".

The Crimson Princess who always talks about "my knight..." irritates Williams, but he is not angry with a servant - at least not on the surface.

"Dear Lian Na, what do you think about my promise?"

This time, the Scarlet Princess did not say, "My knight asked me to think carefully before making a decision," but it was indeed Annan who asked her to say: "I think I still need to think about it..."
