A strange world

Chapter 253 Chapter 106. Approaching

The magnificent black stone castle stands on the wheat field hills.

Itilia looked away from the window and looked at Layla who was sitting in her wheelchair: "Do you want to go to Xingyue Bay?"

Leila suddenly sat up straight, her face changing between surprise, suspicion, joy, and worry.

"Annan's territory has surpassed ours. He trusts others too easily. I'm worried that he will make wedding clothes for others... Having a family around will help him discover many details that he has never noticed." Itilia explained.

"Shall we go together?"

"I want to stay in the fire dragon habitat." Itilia said, "I need someone at home..."

Leila hesitated, but still said reluctantly: "Then you go, I'll stay."

"Okay, you will sign today's government affairs." Itilia agreed easily.

"I'd better go!"

Leila jumped out of the wheelchair and ran out of the bedroom with brisk steps: "I'm going to pack my things first!"

With a gentle smile on her face, Itilia took out a piece of writing paper and wrote with a swinging quill:

[Dear Annan:

Leila has been thinking about wanting to go there all day long, and I just agreed to her. Because you have been away from home for too long, I don’t want us to become strangers in the future... Layla is still very innocent, take good care of her.

——Your sister Itilia]

Itilia read the letter again and suddenly crumpled it into a ball.

"Why did you tear it off again?" A disembodied whisper sounded in the room.

"Annan is a smart boy, he will see my other meanings..."

"You seem to want to sell Layla."

"It's hard for my brother to come back here. I need to continue the bloodline of the Reeves family..." Itilia said softly, "That person should have been me, but my legs..."

"Whatever you want, my contract with your ancestors only has one year left."

"That's enough. Annan is very good...he may no longer need asylum in a year."

…

Early the next morning, Annan and Druidad went to the temporary camp north of the Glacier River.

Yesterday evening, they brought back a total of five hundred and fourteen people from the castle. Most of them were soldiers, and only a few residents fled into the castle before the Skaven arrived.

"Your Majesty the King of the North, I am Ulmit, the Earl of the Violet Kingdom." said a strong man who looked like a bear.

Annan thought he could give Aunt Susan a try.

"I am Annan, the lord of Xingyue Bay."

The conversation between lords and lords was too formal, and Annan was not used to it. Fortunately, Ingrid answered on his behalf and did not do anything inconsistent with the interests of the nobles.

As a result, when Annan asked what happened a few days ago, Ulmit broke his disguise and revealed his true nature: "Those nobles raised by dwarfs lied to me! They said that the Ratmen were blocked by the strait in the southeast and couldn't cross. I took it seriously, but the Ratmen crossed the strait from the southwest and attacked my territory!"

"If you hadn't taken action, I would have gone to hell and started fighting with the ancestors of those son-of-a-bitch nobles."

Annan gave the earl two choices:

Join Xingyue Bay and pay to send them back to the Violet Kingdom.

But the McKeons are spreading north along the west coast. The place where they docked was also a fallen area or an area that would fall sooner or later.

There is really no choice, and those in power will not give up their rights. It's just that Ulmit is a lord with a rough appearance and a delicate heart. He hopes to rest in Xingyue Bay for a while and pay Annan a box of gold coins first.

"If the north was not too far away, I would really like to introduce you to my brothers...forget it, they should have almost all fallen into the Rat Man's belly by now."

Ulmit shook his head regretfully, but not regretfully that his brothers had met with misfortune...

Annan and Urmit got along quite well. When he was about to go back, Farias saw him out and thanked him again for his help on behalf of the lord: "The count was a veteran, so he was a little rude..."

"It's nothing. If he is the same as before, I won't be able to adapt to it."

Augusta's way of talking like riddles cast a shadow on Annan. Fortunately, Olmedo did not fall into this bad habit.

"The Druid said that the plague you carried has been eliminated. You are welcome to come to the town and have a look."

"The soldiers are exhausted. We will visit you at the Lord's Mansion after rest."

Urmit still has lingering fears when talking about the rat tide. After teleporting the people in the castle, he and the heavy-duty Wanma teleported back to the deck, where they fully witnessed the collapse of the castle. Just a little bit… Just a little bit…

After being sent to Annan and the others to cross the river, Farias returned to the felt tent in the forest glade and saw the count holding a magic newspaper and reading it with relish: "This thing is actually an invention invented in the north... What is this called? We Can you learn it?"

"They call it the Magic Newspaper, and it sells for 10 copper coins."

"Such a thin piece of paper costs 10 copper coins? No wonder the King of the North's territory is so rich."

Farias had the same idea as the count at first, but then he suddenly discovered something: "It seems to be a magic prop..."

"What?"

Farias picked up the magic newspaper and carefully sensed the weak magic power... After a few minutes, he found the logo torn off in the lower right corner and tore off the corners in embarrassment.

"Welcome back, reader, you are reading: Saint Laurent Calendar... The McKeon Ratmen have invaded the Violet Kingdom, not far from the southern border of the Rekaner Kingdom..."

The crisp sound of a girl reading came out.

Ulmit's expression was like that of a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time: "Did you just say how much it cost?"

"10 copper coins."

"The Goddess of Wealth...are they...are they enemies of the Goddess of Wealth!?"

…

The McKeons are heading north.

News of the McKean Skaven heading north is coming south.

Breeze City, Betar City, Plenty City, Osulonde Territory, Pinglin Town... This issue of the magic newspaper spread throughout Planang's Gift County.

After a few days of rest, Count Ulmit went to the Lord's Mansion to visit Annan, and then wandered around Xingyue Bay - he and his men particularly liked the theater, while Farias liked school, and Annan also invited him to teach the students. a lesson.

When he came out, Annan, who found that Mr. Victor was not there, learned the news of his illness.

"It wasn't me who infected it..."

"No, he just suffered from a disease that everyone encounters...aging."

Annan, who rushed outside Mr. Victor's house, heard crying. He showed worry and foreboding and broke into the house without knocking.

"Mr. Victor!"

What makes Annan sad is that the crying Martin slumped aside, and Mr. Victor sat quietly in the wheelchair, tilting his head and closing his eyes...

He came late...

"What are you doing!" Lindy angrily scolded Annan who broke in, "The teacher is taking a break..."

"Rest? But Martin is crying..."

"Because the teacher's cane hit his toe."
