A strange world

Chapter 586 Chapter 243. Evelin is attacked

Tedder agreed to help find clues in the royal court. Since the elf elders' importance depends on whether a solution can be found, Annan additionally revealed tonight's battle to Tadel.

"We have a close relationship with our ancestors, so our alliance in the future will mean that the Elf Royal Court and our ancestors have a close relationship."

"I know she... was once hailed as a legendary mage who would become a god within three hundred years."

Annan didn't expect her ancestor to be so powerful: "Then how did she get cursed by the gods?"

"It's not a curse from the gods, it's a curse tacitly approved by the gods. I can't tell you."

"Why is it always like this..." Annan complained.

"Anyone else said that?"

Annan looked at the gemstone ring on his hand boredly: "Mrs. Winter found a secret treasure. She said that knowing it would not be a good thing for me."

"She's right. The secrets are not all filled with treasures. They also contain unspeakable things or some kind of curse."

"The world sounds really dangerous..."

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far to near, and then the bedroom door rang.

Annan said goodbye to Tedder, stood up and opened the door.

"I filmed it!" Evelin excitedly held up the magic stone, "The title of this issue will be "The Assassination in the Kingdom of Rekaner Failed Miserably"!"

"Remember to add two legends, one dead and one injured."

"Um!"

Evelin is here just for the inside information. She asked for more details and ran back to the newspaper office while her inspiration was still active.

Late at night, Evelin raised her head after finishing the article.

After checking the empty newspaper office, Evelin locked the door as usual, waved goodbye to the guard outside the door, and walked towards her residence.

Magic street lights illuminate the neat roads. There are not many pedestrians on the streets in the cool night, only the coastal streets in the distance are lively.

Evelin's shadow was stretched long and narrow. At a certain moment, a shadow quietly approached Evelin's shadow, and the invisible blade she held instantly cut across her shadow...

clang--

Sparks flew into Evelin's collar, causing Evelin to jump forward.

The gray-skinned lust demon, who was blocking the shadow-like assassin, raised his head and stared at Evelin with his coquettish eyes: "Run to the City Lord's Mansion."

Evelin ran away towards the towering City Lord's Mansion in the distance without even thinking about it.

The body of the desire demon blurred for a moment, then appeared behind the shadow, and the bone blade pierced the assassin's chest.

The lifeless corpse "plopped" to the ground. The lust demon shook off the blood stains on the bone blade and followed Evelin who ran out.

A sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, followed by a "clang" sound of blocking.

"Keep running, don't stop." said the demon whose outline was clear again, and then warned the residents who appeared in front of the windows and doors due to the movement, "Don't come out!"

The patrolling guards quickly followed the sound. They knew Evelin and escorted her to the city lord's palace.

The demon of desire wanders around, looking for those who exude malice.

"The newspaper office is on fire!"

Some guards exclaimed, and the newspaper office where Evelin had just come out lit up with fire.

Evelin ignored it. She was much more important than the newspaper. It didn't matter if the article was burned. The words were all in her head...

Under the escort of the desire demon and the guards, Evelin escaped to the safety of the city lord's mansion.

Annan asked the maid Abby to support Evelin, who was almost unsteady on her feet, and put a blanket over her: "I will solve this matter."

Then he looked at the lust demon who was looking at him: "Thank you..."

"Instead of thanking me, you should find a way to protect her." The desire demon said standing on Evelin's side.

"Yagoni, don't say that, we didn't expect it." Evelin said softly.

It seems they know each other.

But Evelin's attack made Annan realize that Liberty City is no longer the same as Xingyue Bay...

The city lord's palace was guarded by knights and mages brought by Olmedo, but there were no people outside. Musketeers are also unable to fulfill their protective duties because they are not individually strong.

Olmedo and Itilia, wearing coats, also rushed over. The fire in the newspaper office had been put out, and the two Guards musketeers who were guarding the office were killed.

Thinking of the death of the two soldiers she had just said goodbye to, Evelin looked sad.

“How about you come and protect Evelin?”

Evelin raised her head again and looked at the astonished desire demon: "I am a desire demon..."

"I know." So Annan took a fancy to her ability, and he happened to know Evelin.

"I mean, you actually believe in the demon of desire?" she asked doubtfully.

This time it was Annan who was confused: "Didn't I tell you that you are all residents of Liberty City?"

"We all thought you were just talking."

It's not their fault. Hell is full of betrayal and deception, and the abyss is full of deception and betrayal. For them, they have to distinguish the authenticity of any news. Only what they see with their own eyes is true - even sometimes the eyes can deceive themselves.

"So are you interested? As for the salary... you can ask Ingrid tomorrow."

“I will protect Evelin.”

After receiving the assurance from Yagoni, the demon of desire, Annan's attention returned to the attack itself.

It is obvious who the murderer is. The Ruikaner Kingdom hated Annan the most, followed by Evelin who wrote the news.

It's just that Annan didn't expect that they would dare to send dead soldiers to sneak attack when the legends failed.

Worried that there were other assassins in Liberty City, Annan ordered martial law.

The people who were awakened did not resist, and even the tourists cooperated obediently - after all, they were witnesses to the legendary battle not long ago.

Annan then summoned Mr. Swaro, who was wearing pajamas, and cast a spell to detect the entire Free City's camp.

A green light representing friendliness and neutrality lit up, mixed with sparse yellow lights that were somewhat hostile, and a few red lights representing malice were extremely eye-catching.

Olmedo ordered the mage team to find them and deal with them.

The red light guides them to track the assassin.

This spell is really a good thing, Annan thought. Although he can't deal with those master assassins, he has advantages in dealing with guys like this who can't hide their hostility.

Such a wide range of spells requires at least epic blessings, and the cost of replacing them with magic props will not be less than 50,000 gold coins...

Spending tens of thousands of gold coins may not seem worth it, but it depends on who is spending the money.

A poor person may think that one guinea for a magic video is too expensive, but a rich person will only say that if you have the ability, you will make five more.

Annan, who dreams of building a safe and free city, can get stable public security by spending some money. What could be more cost-effective than this?

Not long after, the mages returned and brought back a succubus - they said that an assassin was killed by the succubus.

Mr. Schwaro had no intention of continuing to participate, so he released the detection spell and went back to catch up on his sleep.

"I was pretending to be happy at the time, but when I saw this guy glowing red from the camp, I sucked him up mercilessly!" The succubus with plump red lips pointed at the assassin who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, "I did this Does this count as fulfilling the obligations of a Free City citizen?"

"……Calculate."
