A strange world

Chapter 861 Section 92. Lesio Valley

It looks like things are going well in the Raisio Valley.

Annan thought of Tasia. She had retreated to the fortress of the Kingdom of Dimon to continue fighting against the demons... If the Snow Mountain Fortress retreated, maybe he could see her in Lesio Valley.

Annan wanted to give the man money, but he waved his hand and refused. He raised his glass and said, "You have already paid me."

Annan liked the man's character, thought about it, and put a gold nard on the table.

"I don't--"

"This is another reward. I will continue my adventure. You can go to Liberty City for me and tell me the story of what you met there after I go to Liberty City."

Kinnar was valuable, but keeping a warrior in Liberty City was even more valuable.

The man wanted to scold Annan loudly for insulting his character, but that was a gold nugget——

The consequence of a large number of mercenaries crowding into Gray Silver Castle is that prices collapse, food prices rise, and commission fees decrease. There are even some damn mercenaries who offer free employment as long as they take care of food.

His eyes fell on the yellow gold coin, and his Adam's apple squirmed. At this moment, a slender white hand pressed the gold coin and took it back.

The man raised his head and looked at Ilimoyas who was putting away the money with Annan.

She put the money back on the table, but it turned into a silver coin.

"you……"

"This is enough!"

The man shouted and took back the silver coin. I don’t know if I am really satisfied or if I am afraid of exchanging it for another copper coin.

Well, one silver coin in Liberty City would be enough for two days.

Annan paid the bill, walked out of the tavern under the regretful eyes of the girls, and prepared to go straight to Lesio Valley.

On the way out of the city, he happened to encounter a motorcade leaving the castle. The carriage slowed down. Olmedo opened the curtain and talked to Annan: "This is a bit unlike you."

"Should I always be like this?" Annan asked confused.

"I'm talking about your mood. It's rare for you to go shopping like this without thinking about anything."

Annan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Olmedo to see it. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, he said, "Well...actually, I just want to come out and relax."

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, but I can't face their faces..." Annan recalled the Hellfire soldiers and the mercenaries of the foreign aid corps: "The smiling faces filled with joy and eagerness to try. They loved me and admired me, because Love and trust me in coming to Liberty City.”

"In the end, I was sent to the battlefield with my own hands..."

"you……"

Olmedo was speechless, and she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only say: "Then just take a walk outside. Don't worry about things at home..."

The curtain fell and the convoy sped away.

From the beginning to the end, Ilimoyas remained silent. When Annan glanced at her for the thirteenth time, she finally said: "Do you think I will comfort you?"

"Well……"

"You are too afraid of death. In fact, it is not terrible." Ilimoyasi's cheeks were only calm. "You laugh at the evil dragon who would rather die than abandon the treasure, but in our eyes, the evil dragon who sacrifices himself to protect the treasure is a hero."

Annan could understand what Ilimoyasi wanted to express: warriors believe that glory is greater than death, mages believe that knowledge is greater than death, and dragons believe that treasure is far greater than death——

So Ilimoyas is still comforting herself, in her own way?

After leaving the city gate, Annan and Elimayas walked to the deserted suburbs. Under the cover of night, Ilimoyas canceled the transformation spell, and Annan and Lemon climbed onto the back of the blue dragon and rushed to Lesio Valley.

The caravan needed three days to travel, and Ilimoyas arrived at Lesio Valley, which is located in a hilly area, at dawn.

The sun has not yet fully risen, and only a faint golden light is visible on the horizon. The endless wheat fields are bathed in the soft morning light, as if covered by a layer of golden gauze. The river meanders across the land, and the huge windmill rotates slowly, like a peaceful oil painting.

The Lesau Valley has not yet been invaded by war in the north - as these unharvested wheat fields prove.

Annan and Ilimoyas, who were high in the sky, looked like falcons from the ground, traveling deep into the Lesio Valley and landing on the outskirts of Valley City.

Compared to the tranquility in the south, Valley City is much more lively. A large number of caravans are transporting food out of the city gate, and workers are riding on the walls to build the city walls to meet the incoming enemies.

At this time, there were many soldiers and mercenaries gathered in Gucheng, and the arrival of Annan and Elimoas did not attract attention.

Words in Scarlet doesn’t reveal much more, so where to begin the investigation?

Annan walked into the Evening Breeze Tavern—a tavern with a poetic name that corresponded to the Dawn Tavern.

Normal people would not go to the pub early in the morning, but it would save Annan the trouble of identifying who the intelligence dealer is.

"Who knows the situation in the north, especially the dynamics of rat people and demons?" Annan sat on the seat next to the door and asked the group of people huddled in the corner early in the morning.

Soon a silhouette dressed similarly to Annan came over and sat at the table.

"What do you want to know?"

"The Dynamics of Skaven and Demons."

"Then I could talk all day. It's too general. Be more detailed." The intelligence merchant said with a touch of sarcasm. If Annan were a soldier, he would have cursed him out loud.

"Okay, what's going on in Lethio Valley, and what are the Skaven doing now?"

"These two count as one question, 50 silver coins."

"5 silver coins." It was Ilimoyas who spoke.

"No, ma'am. The information is new today, but I promise it will be worth your money."

Annan waved his hand, and fifty silver coins fell onto the table, making a crisp collision sound second only to gold coins.

"It better be this way."

Anyone with a bit of discernment can see that Annan is wearing a magic ring. Knowing that this is a major customer, the intelligence dealer immediately put on a smile: "My nickname is Fox, and my intelligence is never wrong!"

The fox said that Lesio Valley was facing a threat. A tribe of rat people from the north, the Broken Ridge Tribe, was threatening it. However, the Holy Grail Knights led the soldiers of the Snow Mountain Fortress to block the tide of rats at the border.

"You mean the rat tribe is blocked?" Annan frowned.

"This is not worth 50 silver coins." Ilimoyas said again.

She already talked more than she could on the road!

"We haven't finished yet. It is reported that the Holy Grail Knight will persist in the Lesio Valley until the autumn harvest is completed and all the food will be sent out."

"Can they stop it?"

Fox's professional ethics prevented him from taunting his client: "Why can't you stop him? That's the elite of the Snow Mountain Fortress and the Holy Grail Knight!"

With the news he had learned, Annan walked out of the Wanfeng Tavern thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" a voice asked from the side.

"The Great Wall of the North is in danger due to the attack of the rat tribe. How can the Kingdom of Dimon stop it?"

Are the Skaven tribe different from the Horde, or are the two empires being lazy, or are the intelligence traders lying?

"Huh? Who are you?"

Annan suddenly realized that that was not Ilimoyasi's voice.
