A strange world

Chapter 996 Section 227. I am Rose the Spider Queen

Inner city of the new capital, Purification Court.

The magic lamps emit a hazy halo, and a depressing atmosphere shrouds the hall.

The Inquisitor stared at his silent subordinates and said in a rough voice colder than a snowy mountain: "So, you want me to believe that you let a group of carefully trained undercovers be killed one by one by a sentry who misremembered the password?"

The key is that their plan has been exposed, from the dark to the light, and the group of free blades hidden in the city guards must know that they have been discovered.

The subordinate answered with a stiff face: "Mr. Inquisitor, in order to infiltrate the City Guard, we arranged non-professionals, but unexpectedly something went wrong... We later found out that the sentry on the watchtower was the nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs."

The Inquisitor, who didn't want to listen to his subordinate's explanation, gradually calmed down after hearing this: "Reinado's nephew? How come I didn't know he had a nephew, and he let his nephew serve as a sentinel in the City Guard."

Or did Renato know about the actions of the Purification Court and warn them in this way?

The Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom stood on the side of the Free Blade...?

The Inquisitor was shocked by his own conjecture.

If even such a big shot was won over, wouldn't the entire kingdom be corrupted! ?

"Don't tell anyone what happened today, leave."

The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, no one would publicize their failure. It was great that those who survived were neither killed by the sentinels nor punished.

They left, leaving the Inquisitor to think: Is it too late to join the Free Blade now...

...

"Madam, your voice is very nice."

"Really? Then do you want to listen to my call all night?" The noble and plump lady looked at him seductively.

"Uh... my uncle asked me to go back early." Annan pretended not to understand the lady's hint.

"It doesn't matter, just give me a few minutes."

"My uncle is calling me!"

Annan used the excuse of leaving, bypassing the enthusiastic lady's "My skirt seems to be untied, can you help me?" and ran back to Renato who was talking to his friend.

"The food from the south will become... sorry." Renato apologized to his friend first, and asked with a kind look at the younger generation: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a little tired."

Annan, who played the nephew of the military minister, said.

Renaldo felt a little offended when Annan proposed this, but he didn't care. This made Renato grateful and relieved at the same time, and it seemed that he would not be liquidated after the war.

"Is this your nephew? I have a daughter who is about the same age as her..."

"He's already engaged." The military minister, who knew what Sir Smalov was going to say, said in advance.

Sir Smalov expressed regret and picked up the wine glass beside him: "Let's talk later."

"See you later."

Sir Smalov walked away, and Annan looked at his back: "Is he one of ours?"

"It's difficult. He is in the grain business and has made a lot of money because of your blockade."

"Got it, a vested interest?"

The military minister chewed on the word and nodded: "His business relies on the kingdom. Unless it's the last moment, I'm afraid he won't stand on our side."

He changed the subject and asked Annan how the banquet went.

"Very boring."

The banquet not only invited nobles who joined the Free Blade, but also acquaintances that Renato was going to win over, but had not won over, and were not worth winning over. This made Annan, who was "Reinado's nephew", unable to promote Liberty City and Magic Image.

Due to the vigilance of the Minister of Military Affairs, only those who knew Annan's true identity were those who were loyal to the Free Blade.

"The nobles cannot be trusted. They can betray us at any time just like they betrayed the kingdom. It is best not to let them know your existence."

"Sir, can I invite you to dance?" A female voice sounded from the side.

"No... of course." Annan, who heard Maria's voice, changed his words, smiled at the Minister of Military Affairs, held Maria's hand, and walked into the dance floor facing the jealous eyes.

As if the hero and heroine in the story appeared, the musicians beside him changed to soothing music, which seemed to be a variation of "The Fall of the Mage Tower".

"At that time, I always imagined this scene..."

Because of the height difference, Maria could only lower her head and whisper in Annan's ear.

"I thought we were enemies at that time." Annan said with a smile.

"Indeed, but because of this, it is impressive, isn't it?"

"Yes..."

How could a strange princess from a foreign country be more attractive than a witch who was both an enemy and a friend?

Of course, it would be better if the witch had some dragon blood or other alien blood...

Maria is a ratman, she is destined not to be dominated by emotions for too long. After dancing a song, she lowered her head and whispered the purpose of inviting the dance.

"I met a tribe member on the way here. It seemed to misunderstand my purpose and warned me not to interfere in the palace."

"It seems that the Stun clan is really related to the king?"

"Even if not, they will have to take action recently."

"I know... How did they sneak in, just like you did at the beginning?"

"Well, we will be assigned different identities. Guard, lady, scout..."

"You were the lady at the beginning?"

"Well, I am the lady, and Dela is the guard."

Dela...

This name touched Annan's heart.

A month after Della lost contact, they discovered that the succubus had taken her away. The only known news so far is that succubi do not kill so indiscriminately, and have the habit of transforming captured women into succubi.

Thinking on the bright side, maybe they will meet again, and by then Della might also be a succubus...

It's a bit emotional to think about this. Della, who is half-elf, transformed into a half-elf as a rat-man, and then from a half-elf to a dark elf. She might even become a succubus in the future.

At this time, a figure hurriedly broke into the dance floor and separated Annan and Maria in the happy eyes of the ladies.

"Sir, the city guards..."

He leaned into Annan's ear and whispered something, which shocked Annan and made him pale from morning to night.

"What's wrong?" Maria asked.

"follow me."

There was no time to explain, Annan led Maria to speak a few words with the Minister of Military Affairs, and then followed the messenger into the room outside the banquet.

"Tell me the details." Annan said.

The messenger recounted what happened to the city guard not long ago.

Annan's eyes changed from worried to nervous to weird.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but Martin... shoots arrows, kills people, or a dozen?"

"Um!"

"I am Rose, the Spider Queen. Believe in me. When I return from the bottomless abyss, I will turn you into a dark elf and become a priestess."

"Stop joking..."

"You drove first."
