A strange world

Chapter 872 Section 103. City on the Mountain

"I didn't expect it to be... so soon."

What Shadow Song actually wants is that she will die on the front line and never be able to see Annan again...

This is not the place to reminisce. The criminals saw the warden talking to a boy riding a dragon and took the opportunity to be lazy. Shadowsong responded by releasing the whip collar, drawing out a loud crack.

"If you don't want to go back to the dark dungeon to wait for death, just continue training with me!"

The prisoners trembled at the sound of the whip and continued to stab the scarecrow in front of them with their spears.

"That's right, I thought you'd be a little jerky for a while."

Annan even saw the shadow of Dela in Shadow Song... To a certain extent, their life trajectories were similar. They are all in deep darkness, they all change their destiny when they meet Annan, and they all become the warden.

"Prisoners are similar to beasts. If you act tougher and more ferocious than them, they will be afraid of you." Shadow Song said, looking behind Annan.

Several guards stationed outside the camp arrived.

"Lord Annan!" They saluted Annan.

"Who are you?" Annan guessed from their armors that they were soldiers from Gucheng.

Shadow Song said: "The people sent by Gucheng to keep an eye on me."

"Your Majesty the Warden, we are not keeping an eye on you, but we are ordered to keep an eye on those restless prisoners!" the guard captain said seriously.

Shadowsong was noncommittal, she would not let the prisoners escape.

"Where are de la Torre and Navin?"

"Two Lord Holy Grail Knights are in the city right now!"

"What about the rest?"

"Some of them have entered the city with the Holy Grail Knight, and the rest are scattered at the foot of the mountain like the Warden!"

This is the west side of the city on the mountain. Unless the demons surround this place, they don't have to worry about being attacked by demons.

"Go tell them...forget it, just do your own thing. I will go to the city to find them in a moment."

Annan waved his hand, and after the guards saluted and retreated, he asked Shadow Song: "By the way, I don't know what happened to you and the Shadow Brotherhood?"

“They ‘retired’ me.”

Only then did Shadow Song understand what Annan meant by 'retirement'.

Actively expelled from the Brotherhood of Shadow.

"Have you ever thought about looking for them again?"

"I do not understand."

Annan said: "I don't know about the Shadow Brotherhood, but judging from how they asked you to retire, they are not only stupid, but also very smart. They may be used as gray gloves for the nobles... Are you interested in inviting them? Come here and fight against the devil together?"

"Maybe we can also make the Brotherhood of Shadows walk from the shadows into the sunshine, and be rewarded with something. Then you will be the light of the shadows!"

Annan gave her advice.

He originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs here. After all, the rat infestation in the north still caused him a lot of damage. But after the Demon Lord, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared and still held the souls of Ymir and others, he became the most eager person to solve the demons.

The Kingdom of Dimon is suffering from a plague of rat tides, and its vitality has been severely damaged. Maybe it just wants to drive the demons out and recuperate. But Annan wanted to eliminate all these demons.

"I……"

Shadow Song was still hesitating, and Annan continued to confuse: "Are you worried that they don't think so? But how do you know without asking? Maybe there are other kind-hearted killers in the Brotherhood who yearn for the light like you and want to save their homeland. …”

"Can……"

"If you are worried that they won't listen to you, just mention me and ask them to come to me for an interview. A King of the North, Lord of the Floating City, and Champion Warlock can always make them think about it."

"good……"

Shadow Song was not a person who would be easily persuaded, but he still accepted Annan's suggestion in a daze.

"Then I'll go to the city first and come to you after I've settled other matters."

Annan returned to Ilimoyas, climbed on the dragon's back, and left in a hurry.

Flying towards the mountain city, Ilimayas suddenly whispered: "Are you very optimistic about her?"

"She's different from other girls."

To put it harshly, many of the girls Annan came into contact with would lose their sense of normalcy due to Annan's works and charm, but Shadow Song did not. This was very characteristic of the other people around Annan.

It shows that she will not be easily influenced and knows what she should do.

Annan is very optimistic about her future.

"You rarely care about external things." Annan was a little surprised.

"She is indeed different, much like you."

"like me?"

"When you first met me, you weren't afraid of me at all." Ilimayas narrowed her majestic and beautiful vertical pupils, "otherwise I wouldn't believe what you said about trials and guardians."

"Indeed, maybe she, like me, has justice flowing in her blood."

They were getting closer and closer to the mountain city, so close that Annan could vaguely see a transparent magic shield covering the entire city.

As the blue dragon approached, a group of knights riding griffins greeted them.

"He who comes is stopped!"

"I am the King of the North, the Lord of the Free City, the Champion Warlock, the Retinue of the Holy Grail Knight, Annan Levis."

As a result, the sound was too low, and the Griffin Knight, who was hundreds of meters away and still facing the wind, couldn't hear it at all.

Annan patted Illymoas on the back, and she let out a dragon roar: "I am the blue dragon Illymoas, and I am here with the King of the North, the Lord of the Free City, the Champion Warlock, the Retinue of the Holy Grail Knight, Annan Reeves. Here, resist the devil!"

The gryphon knights looked at each other, one knight went back to investigate, and the rest continued to block Annan.

Not long after, the departing gryphon knight came back and said loudly: "Your Excellency, King of the North, please come in!" and made way for an air passage.

Ilimoyas passed through the magic shield that enveloped the city, and then fell into a square paved with white bricks in the city.

The mountain city is much bigger than imagined... This size is not the actual vastness. For example, Montreal Mountain is so huge that it has a mountain, but those mountain roads and buildings make people feel crowded. However, the planning here is very good, the neat houses are neither messy nor dense, and the wide roads and squares even make people's legs hurt.

Moreover, the magical atmosphere is rich, and many passers-by are wearing wizard robes.

After all, those tall towers that stand in the city are not chimneys.

In addition, Annan also saw other dragons flying in the city.

Not to mention the blue dragon, at a glance, there are almost all five-color dragons and metal dragons, as well as various sub-dragons.

"Maybe you can find relatives here." Annan joked.

Ilimayas, who was landing, suddenly stopped, and then flipped her body more than ten meters in the air.

Annan didn't react at all and instantly fell off the dragon's back.

"I don't know how to levitate -"

Annan fell with a tail sound and was caught by De La Torre who was waiting for him.

"Why are you so careless?" The gray-haired old Holy Grail Knight put down Annan with a smile.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief and watched helplessly as Ilimoyas disappeared in the sky: "I accidentally made a woman angry. They always do this."
