A strange world

Chapter 898 Section 129. The Origin of Shadow Song

No matter how many demons are killed, it is not as good as cutting off the claws of the demon king... Of course the Kingdom of Dimon understands this truth, but the vitality of the red dragon warlock exceeds their imagination.

"It has been seriously injured. Can't we let the legend of the mountain city pursue it?"

"Don't underestimate the legacy of legends. Even if they are seriously injured, they still pose a terrible threat..." Grand Marshal Galkin said seriously.

Well, Annan lacks a clear understanding of the legend. Two legends can definitely kill one legend, and the one like the ancestors is also a legend.

"...No matter what, this is the best chance to kill it. If you don't dare, then I will do it!"

Marshal Galkin looked at Annan with a complicated attitude: "You shouldn't take risks."

"Where did Nanazi escape to?"

"...the frozen soil in the north is a dangerous place. Frost giants, white dragons, ratmen, and demons are everywhere. You want to kill the red dragon warlock, unless-"

"You want to say that there is a powerful rune sword in the northern frozen soil. After I picked it up, I gained power but was also cursed. I killed everyone around me. Although I killed Nanazi, I was still corrupted by the rune sword. Finally, at the celebration banquet Come back to assassinate the king and be crowned king?" Annan interrupted him.

"No……"

Marshal Galkin opened his mouth and changed his attention, "You have a chance, Annan."

"The king will hold a celebration dinner tonight. As the biggest contributor to this operation, you will have the opportunity to speak on stage... It depends on you whether you can convince the king and ministers.

Annan smiled and said, "It seems that you are not willing to accept it either."

Marshal Galkin revealed a hint of reminiscence: "I was just like you when I was young."

"What!?"

Marshal Galkin glanced at the shocked Annan expressionlessly: "I mean this kind of determination that once you make a decision, you must do it."

"oh……"

"Young people are like this, regardless of the consequences, without knowing the cost, and they won't stop until their faces are covered in blood."

Annan was wondering whether Grand Marshal Galkin was praising himself or scolding himself...or perhaps just remembering his past self.

But since Grand Marshal Galkin is also the main combatant, it is best to tie him to the chariot: "I am not enough on my own. I will need your help when the time comes."

"Look at your performance."

Annan frowned: "Performance?"

"You have to prove your worth and have us on your side."

us?

Does anyone else stand with Generalissimo Galkin?

Annan's attention first returned to the words of Marshal Galkin. Even if he killed Nanazi to achieve his goal, he was still dissatisfied: "You seem to have forgotten that the devil is threatening you, and I am just a kind lord passing by."

"In addition to the king, the nobles also think so."

Marshal Galkin walked out while Annan was stunned, and suddenly stopped behind the door.

"Oh, I forgot, this is my home."

…

"These nobles... just destroyed some demons and couldn't wait to hold a banquet."

On the way out, Annan became increasingly angry as he thought about it.

They use the rise of the country to gain benefits for themselves, block other people's opportunities to come forward, and then walk away when the country encounters a crisis...

"Olmedo, you and eldest sister must be careful of guys like this coming out of Liberty City, otherwise I wouldn't mind hanging them from the street lamp."

Olmedo knew that he was complaining, but he still explained a few words: "Annan, you have to consider that the Kingdom of Dimon has been retreating steadily and has lost nearly half of its territory. This is a rare victory."

"Are you coming? I guess you will see a lot of familiar people..."

Olmedo smiled: "I am destined to offend people tonight, so I won't go."

If Annan makes things too stiff, there is still a chance for Olmedo to step in and ease the situation.

"up to you."

There was still some time before evening, and Annan tried to summon Della to no avail, so he returned to Liberty City to visit Shadowsong.

Itilia was right, there was something wrong with Shadow Song... When Annan came, she was talking to a skeleton.

Even though it was a skeleton soldier wearing plate armor, it was still weird for a living person to talk to a skeleton.

Della wore a feather mask, and there was no sign of affection, but looking at her gentle whisper, Annan thought of a possibility: "Do you know him?"

"He's my brother."

"Feel sorry……"

Annan observed the skeleton. His pale bones were still tall, and he should have been a tall young man in his lifetime. He was wearing fine plate armor with a faded sun pattern, and the long sword beside him was an ordinary knight's sword.

Shadow Song gently touched the mark on the skull's forehead: "This was accidentally left by me when I was a child. The arrow almost killed him..."

Shadow Song, whose identity is mysterious, talks about his past for the first time.

It's more common than expected. After all, not everyone has a magnificent experience: Shadow Song's father is a small lord - different from lords like Annan. That kind of small lord usually refers to someone who has the status of a mage or a knight and has jurisdiction over a place. A minor nobleman with a small piece of land or estate.

As a son, Shadowsong's brother will effectively inherit his father's estate, while the daughter will be married off or become a mistress to a powerful noble.

Then it was a cliche development. Shadowsong refused to marry, she ran away, and her talent was discovered and absorbed by the Brotherhood of Shadows.

Frankly speaking, Shadowsong didn't have any fond memories of that home, with the exception of her brother who took care of her.

And now, they thought their runaway daughter was dead, and the runaway daughter thought her family was still alive...

A sad story.

"Do you want to go home and take a look?" Annan's tone became gentle.

Shadow Ge shook his head: "My home is in the north..."

Now there are only demons and rat-men there... It's even sadder.

Annan comforted: "Don't give up. Many people in the north have fled to the south. There are many refugees in the mountain city. Maybe your family is here."

Shadow Song was still hesitant, but Annan decided for her: "I'm going to attend a banquet held by the king tonight. What is your family's last name? Let me ask for you."

"…Filham."

Shadowsong looked at her brother sadly and decided to reconcile with her family.

Annan returned to the city lord's palace and took a look around, and found that they had already done many things that he had not mentioned, such as sending people to search for survivors along the Anna River.

But so far, the daughter of Durikan and three other people have not been found. It seems that only Annan, Brinor Janna, and the Black Widow are not lost in the underground river.

This credit should belong to the daughter of Durikan...

There are still some things that they have not taken the initiative to do, such as the people of Janna's family, the Forgotten, and Tasia's people who have not yet taken over in the mountain city.

"Give you half a day to bring them all back!"

Luo Xi quickly stood up straight: "I'm going now!"
