A strange world

Chapter 512 Chapter 169. Sad girl

After the release of "The Voice of Liberty", many professionals came to Liberty City for its reputation.

They came by sea or from the empire and wanted to help, but they inadvertently caused a lot of trouble in the city.

For example, the rudeness of the warrior, the arrogance of the mage, the ranger who likes to climb over walls, and the thief who can't control his hands.

Dean Blehim, who sits in the Free City, has eliminated many troubles, including crime, trouble, theft, gathering people to defecate... the most dangerous one was the almost outbreak of plague. Fortunately, the sanitation tradition of Liberty City nipped the plague in the bud immediately.

Although I don't want to admit it, in the magical world where power belongs to itself, the deterrence of the Musketeers depends on the deterrence of Liberty City - they are the dogs that have to look at their masters when beating a dog.

Although some veterans have killed more Skaven than they have ever seen.

Annan had no choice but to ask Ingrid to make some manuals and distribute them to every professional and mercenary who set foot on the temporary port. At least let them know to maintain personal hygiene and public health.

In the final analysis, there are not many things that require professionals to do in Free City - Annan wants warriors to carry wood, mages to stir cement, and bards to help, but they refuse. Only when the rangers and thieves were entrusted to harass the Mad Dog Archduke, they happily agreed.

If only the Elemental Legion were still here...

"Bronzebeard! How long will my Orichalcum last?" Annan ran to the blacksmith shop and asked the female dwarf.

"Do you think orichalcum is easy to shape?" Bronzebeard complained about how the strongest material is difficult to deform -

“Why not have our sellers just send us a bouquet of orichalcum flowers?”

Bronzebeard was stunned for a moment: "Why..."

Knowing what to do, Bronzebeard ran back to prepare. Annan thought that these days of hard work would finally bear fruit.

Liberty City, which was crowded with people from Mad Dog Archduke, barely returned to normal. When the war ends in the future, Ingrid predicts that there will be 30,000 to 40,000 residents in the city. One Annan is not enough, but Olmedo thinks it is just the right number.

Moreover, Olmedo also believes that it is better to add some barriers to the status of residents - free things will only be not cherished, and it is unfair to those who followed from the north to Middle-earth but left in the typhoon shelter town.

Don’t forget that Xingyue Bay and Breeze City originally evacuated hundreds of thousands of residents scattered across Middle-earth. With the promotion of magical newspapers, they will eventually know the news about Liberty City and come.

Annan adopted the suggestion. Just because of the war, Liberty City had not had time to plan many things.

For example, there is an obvious problem: so far, no street in Liberty City has a name. Even the most prestigious seaside streets are modest "coastal streets".

But naming is not something Annan is good at. He only perfunctorily named the street in front of the city lord's palace "Xingyue Street" to commemorate the loss of his first territory to Ingrid.

With Liberty City on track, their counterattack is also on the agenda.

The Mad Dog Archduke rebelled, and his mages and knights all withdrew to the south of the principality. The nobles behind him withdrew their support, and the heirs who were cowed by the Mad Dog Archduke also jumped out. Among them, Giraldi was the loudest. The most supporters.

Magical newspapers have an impact on people far beyond a bard in a tavern.

When the rangers and thieves brought back the news that the Mad Dog Archduke was in the Watch Territory and there were not many guards around him, Olmedo summoned Fermi's Hellfire and asked them to attack the Watch Territory.

Before setting off, they went to the place where heroic spirits sleep for good luck, and unexpectedly learned that the cemetery has been haunted recently...

The first people to notice were the refugees who found themselves dissatisfied with the crowds on the streets and went to the cemetery to rest. They encounter all kinds of mischief, which at first they thought were naughty children, but turned out to be naughty ghosts...

On the night when Hellfire set off, Annan and Alice quietly came to the cemetery and saw a group of pale silhouettes that looked like smoke and bubbles floating in the cemetery.

"Their souls went to hell, and their bones were purified so much that even dogs chased them. Why are there still ghosts?" Annan said with doubts.

Alice said that it was their will that formed this haunted place.

"Do they still know me?"

"probably not……"

Annan has entered the cemetery, and as a result... he is also on the prank list.

Alice watched Annan being chased around by ghosts. They stopped chasing him after running out of the cemetery and returned to their usual laziness.

"It's easy to evict them."

"No, don't evict."

Who would be afraid of the heroic spirits who protected this city?

At this time, Annan saw Lily walking towards her from a distance, followed by Silly Cat.

The ghosts who chased away living people when they saw them gathered around Lily and Silly Cat, guarding them as if they were treasures.

But Lily and Silly Cat can because they are cute.

Annan and Alice did not interrupt their play time and returned to the city lord's mansion.

The next day, an unexpected guest visited the city lord's mansion - the witch Claire was back.

"Where's your brother?" Annan joked.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Claire became taciturn and her complexion became much paler. Her dark gray eyes stared at Annan emotionlessly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Annan guessed that she had a dispute with her brother?

The maid Abby came in with Silly Cat in her arms. Annan turned around and said, "Prepare some hot soup for our guests."

"Meow-!"

The silly cat suddenly jumped out of the arms of the maid Abby, and confronted Claire with its fur.

Annan has never seen Shamao so fierce...

"Where's your cat?" Annan suddenly realized something.

Claire loves cats and her white cat has never left her side, but now the white cat is gone...

"my cat……"

Claire's lifeless eyes reflected Silly Cat, and suddenly there was a flash of struggle: "Kill... me."

Della, who was the first to notice something was wrong, jumped out from the shadows behind her and slid the sharp dagger towards her neck, which was close at hand.

"That's too late……"

A helpless sigh suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

A gap opened on Claire's forehead, and as a crystal fell, the once beautiful cheek opened to both sides, filled with red, and a scarlet devil's eye emerged.

"Quick, look outside!"

Amid maid Abby's exclamation, Annan and the others looked out the window.

The world outside the window was suddenly shrouded in a wild and strange scarlet color. The blood color seemed to come from the depths of the sky. People on the street stopped what they were doing and raised their heads, and then their hearts were gripped by an indescribable throbbing.

Deep in the sky, a huge and deep scarlet eye looked down at the entire city, exuding an evil aura that made people crazy.
