A strange world

Chapter 862 Section 93. Granary

Annan looked around and saw a woman in a black cloak wearing a feather mask, blocked by lemon not far away.

"How dare you come here alone, you are bolder than I thought." The purple eyes behind the mask were full of scrutiny and a hint of satisfaction.

"Did you leave the bloody words behind?"

"Hmm." The woman in the black cloak raised her chin slightly.

"how did you find me?"

"This is another thing I want to say. You are stupider than I thought...cute. You actually came here without any disguise."

Annan looked down at his robe in surprise: "I thought I was disguised very well!"

"That's just a piece of cloth, my city lord. In the eyes of some people, it's almost the same as not wearing anything."

Annan suddenly stood uneasy.

"Don't worry, you can't see through the mage's robe."

Annan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Elimoas aside.

"The clothes this Miss Blue Dragon is wearing are not real clothes. Even if you see through them, they are just her true form." The woman in the black cloak seemed to know what Annan was thinking.

"So she's not wearing any clothes?!"

"Uh..." The woman in the black cloak began to wonder if she had chosen the wrong person, "An... City Lord, I came to you for something very important."

"Would you like to talk in another place?" Annan looked at the crowded streets.

…

Evening Breeze Tavern, guest room.

As soon as Ilimoyas came in, she walked to the window. Annan looked at the woman in the black cloak: "Can you reveal your true face now?"

"Does it matter?"

Annan lifted his hood: "A person who hides his head and shows his tail says something important...is it credible?"

The woman in the black cloak was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I have a special status and cannot expose myself, but I can tell you that this is related to the safety of the entire Dimon Kingdom and even Middle-earth."

"Tell me about it." Annan was noncommittal.

"I can't say..." The woman in black cloak shook her head.

Annan frowned and was about to say something when she continued: "I need you to be a witness."

"witness?"

"That's right. I'll take you to see the truth. No one believes what I say, but if it's you, those big shots will listen."

"why me?"

"You are a good person, a noble who cares about the common people." The woman in black cloak said seriously.

The reputation Annan worked so hard to build really worked - people as far away as the north knew that he was a different kind of noble.

Maybe one day in the future the magic disappears, and all the nobles are taken out of the castle by angry civilians and hung under the street lamps, Annan will still be fine.

"I still don't know who you are or your identity." Annan's attitude relaxed.

The woman in black cloak hesitated and chose to confess: "I am a member of the Shadow Brotherhood."

"The Shadow Brotherhood... my friend's servant... I should say the elder retired from the Shadow Brotherhood."

"Retired?"

"Isn't that right?"

The woman in black cloak warned: "We are born as members of the Brotherhood, and we die as the undead of the Brotherhood. Only betrayal can separate us from the Brotherhood."

"Okay, then you pretend I didn't say anything."

"If you would bear witness."

Annan originally didn't want to get involved in this obvious conspiracy, but the woman in the black cloak confessed her identity and made her more credible - after all, she could have used other reasons and lies to deceive Annan.

Squeak, squeak, squeak—

"Oh! Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"

Suddenly there was shaking of the bed and artificial screams from the next room.

Who is so interested so early in the morning?

"I don't know your name yet." Annan changed his words.

"You can call me, Shadowsong."

Annan took out the magic stone from the magic ring: "Lead the way."

Their first stop was the slums of Gucheng. Annan took out another cloak and gave it to Elimoas. Although she doesn't look like an ordinary person, people can easily go to extremes when they lose their minds.

"Did you leave the bloody words in Evelin's newspaper?" Annan asked on the way.

"I don't know, I just asked my friends to bring the news to you."

There are people from the Shadow Brotherhood in Liberty City... Annan was not surprised. What surprised him was: "People like you still have friends?"

Before Shadow Song spoke, Annan suddenly said to himself: "It's normal for you to contact me for the sake of the people and have a friend."

Annan and the others followed Shadow Song to the slums where sewage flowed. They passed by a building that was obviously a gang station, with blood symbols painted everywhere and skeletons hanging in front of the courtyard.

The two thugs stood and stared boredly at the poor people coming and going, with numb expressions, wandering over the bodies of the women.

But when he saw Annan, especially Lemon, he quickly hid his defiance and lowered his head.

They walked around the yard and came to the back door at the back.

"Give me three minutes."

Shadowsong turned into a shadow, nimbly climbed over the high wall and disappeared behind it.

Annan's eyes fell on the closed door, and he suddenly took a step forward, reaching out to push the door open.

Ying Ge, who happened to come out of the house, was surprised: "How did you..."

"The door is unlocked."

A killer who lives in darkness but has a bright heart, a sense of justice and a bit of stupidity?

Feeling that Shadow Song was a little embarrassed, he softened and said, "The gangs here really have no professional ethics."

Shadow Song said nothing and led Annan into the house.

A bloated middle-aged man was tied to a chair. Shadow Song said to him: "Give me the key."

"I don't have the key!"

"Whose place is that?"

"Smoker! He took the keys away. He's at the casino."

Shadow Song walked out, and Annan asked, "Are we leaving like this?"

"What we want is the key."

Then Annan followed Shadow Song to the casino also located in the slums, found the smoker, and forced him to hand over the "key"-it was not a key, but a pass.

Then Shadow Song, who got the pass, went to the city hall and used the pass to get a position from an official: grain transportation officer.

Then she rented several carriages and even hired several carriage drivers to go to the granary.

Annan has been following her, and he has seen the Shadow Brotherhood's ability to infiltrate various organizations, but he can no longer understand what Shadow Song is doing.

They took the convoy to the granary on the outskirts: the wheat harvested in the entire Lesio Valley was temporarily stored here.

Shadowsong chose a coachman as their leader, drove them to load the grain, and led Annan and Elimoas to climb a hill overlooking this vast granary.

"Now can you tell me what you brought me here for?"

"This is the largest granary in Lesio Valley. Food enough for hundreds of thousands of people is sent to all parts of the kingdom every day." Shadowsong stared at the large and small granaries standing on the busy plains,

Ilimoyasi's expression was calm. Obviously "food" does not fall into Ilimoyas's judgment of "valuable things".

Annan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"You don't mean to say..."
