A strange world

Chapter 1269 Section 191. Father-in-law

While the God of Magic Misgema popularized magic, he also firmly controlled the magicians in his own hands - this made him one of the most powerful gods.

Any magician who wants to cast a spell cannot avoid the magic net. Unless he learns from ancient wizards or arcane masters and communicates with the magic elements himself.

Annan sometimes feels that he can't cast a spell. Is it because of the magic net that doesn't let him go?

How can an eighth-level warlock not even learn a trick?

It can be seen that the core driving the magic revolution is that the mages are getting lazier.

It makes sense. After all, many mages have thought: I had to work hard before I became a mage, and I have to work hard after I became a mage. Isn't it a waste of time!

As for the fact that the power of spells is getting weaker and weaker, that is another topic.

Annan and Black Widow strolled on the street, followed by a shadow that seemed to appear and disappear behind them.

"Let me ask you a question first. Do you think what Wilson said is true?"

"Which one?"

"The dead Adele came back to find him."

"The human heart is far more complicated than magic." The Black Widow said ambiguously.

"So don't care what they think, but look at what they do."

At least Annan could feel that Wilson regarded Adele as everything to him.

They believed in Adele's ideas and implemented her will, so it didn't matter whether Adele could return.

It would be too conspicuous if Annan didn't return to the Golden Palace immediately after handing the investigation to Wilson. He pretended to look for clues and wandered around the city.

If he passed by a tavern, he would go in and take a look. If he passed by the Explorers' Association, he would go in and take a look, except for the Mercenary Guild.

Annan stood at the door and asked the Black Widow to go in and issue a reward for finding the "evil dragon".

"Aren't you going in?"

"No..."

Annan shook his head, the shadow was still there.

The Black Widow went in, and Annan stayed at the door. Soon, several big men with terrified faces escaped.

Annan looked curiously, but retracted his gaze when he heard footsteps.

"They messed with someone they shouldn't mess with."

Annan guessed that they saw the black widow in a white dress and did something frivolous.

As Annan looked at her, the coldness of the black widow quickly faded, and she turned back into "Lucia": "There is no news about your blue dragon."

Come to think of it, if the location of Ilimoas was so easy to find, the great lord would not have secretly stared at him.

Annan, who continued to stroll in the Golden City, unknowingly followed the crowd to the Church of the Lady of Fortune.

Compared to other places, the Church of Fortune in the Golden City actually still maintains a considerable amount of faith. Countless believers gathered in front of the church and prayed devoutly to the gods who had disappeared for several years.

Annan and the black widow also went in for a stroll.

What came into view was a pure gold statue that was much shorter than the Golden Palace and more than three meters high.

If it were outside, Annan would have thought that He was gilded, but this is the Broken Mountains. When you go out, you can see a palace built of gold. Gilding is too shabby.

"Do you know that the first church I entered when I came to this world was the Church of Wealth."

"You didn't become a believer because of this?" Black Widow thought Annan was talking about his childhood.

"I didn't understand anything at that time, and when I understood, the gods had disappeared." Annan said, and saw Black Widow in a daze with a blurred smile.

"What's wrong?"

"You are so cute now. If I saw you when you were a child, I would burst out on the spot..."

"You are not allowed to burst out!"

Annan was ashamed and annoyed to accuse Black Widow of being too much. A priest in a priestly robe walked up to them.

"Hello, both of you." He saluted.

Annan recovered his mood and returned the salute: "Hello."

"You two are strangers. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The pastor's attitude was refreshing, just like... a clerk in a jewelry store on a luxurious commercial street.

"No, I just want to come in and take a look."

"If you don't mind, how about I lead you on a tour?" the pastor said enthusiastically.

"That's troublesome."

Passing the crowd kneeling in the hall to pray, the pastor led Annan and Black Widow to stroll in the magnificent Goddess of Wealth Church, which was like a banquet hall.

Annan tested his identity: "It is said that Lord Raymond is your believer?"

The pastor said proudly: "The Lord is one of the bishops of the church."

It seems that the church is behind everything that the Lord does...

After following the pastor for a while, he led Annan to the donation room and said that donations would be blessed.

Annan pretended not to hear. He managed his territory into such a shitty state, and still wanted him to donate money - Annan was restrained by not taking money out of it.

With the pastor's unwillingness and resentment, Annan, who kept a close eye on his purse, walked out of the Wealth Church without taking a penny.

In this way, Annan wandered around the Golden City for a whole day, and also wandered around for a day with his spies.

Later, Annan returned to the Golden Palace.

"Thank you, today is the happiest day I've ever had..." Black Widow confessed affectionately.

"Have you said this to every boy?"

"Not every boy."

...

"You mean, Annan Reeves and his guards played in the city all day and did nothing?"

Killian frowned at the spy who came back to report.

"Uncle" handed over the relevant matters of Annan to himself, and Killian, who didn't want to disappoint him again, did his best.

"They went to many taverns and mercenary guilds and posted bounties."

Killian didn't believe that Annan would do such a simple thing, but without evidence, he could only say: "Then double the taxes on all the places he visited!"

"But……"

"But what?"

"They also went to church..."

"Get out!"

After driving away his men, Killian hurried to his uncle's palace.

"...He went to the tavern, the mercenary guild, the adventurer's guild and the church."

On the golden throne, Lord Raymond, who looked like a puddle of flesh, said in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

"I don't think we should be careless or nervous. Even the empire can't make waves in our territory, let alone just a boy..."

"Then go ahead and do what you want. Maura will help you."

Maura…

Killian's eyes flashed with disgust, and as he lowered his head, the emotion was hidden.

…

Back at the palace, Annan, who had done nothing all day, couldn't wait to share the story of Wilson and Adele with Olmedo.

"Annan, the Dragon Mother is looking for you."

Olmedo said before Annan could speak: "And he's very anxious."

The mother of dragons usually refers to the mother of Ilimayas.

"I know, I'll contact them right away."

Temporarily closing the portal, Annan took out the dragon mother's scales and released the summoning spell.

The portal opened, and a majestic blue dragon appeared at the other end.

"Uncle..." Annan realized that he had picked up the wrong scale.

The blue dragon lowered his head, staring at Annan with his vertical pupils that almost filled the portal: "...you call me uncle?"

"Uh...father-in-law."
