A strange world

Chapter 640 Chapter 37. Princess

The nobles were in such bad shape that they were being driven crazy.

They didn't have to worry about food, but being trapped in the front hall and sharing a room with the princess tortured them all the time.

The same goes for mages. They can't cast spells or meditate. The only thing they can use is the magic ring, but they don't dare to use it too much for fear of being noticed by the weird.

The Archmage handed the poisoned apple to Annan: "We only have this one chance. If we fail, it will be difficult for us to kill the princess... Please don't show hostility."

Annan looked at the red apples with a rosy and plump appearance, thinking that a new story could be added to "Annan's Fables".

He didn't pick up the poisoned apple: "How do I make her eat it?"

"When the princess seals the rift, the rift is also sealing her. She can't stop you from approaching, she can only release weirdness to hurt you... We can't get close, but you can." "Please restore the Lost City to its original state, You will become a new hero for saving Lost City, and your statue will be carved and placed where everyone can see it."

This was the only way for Weird to leave Lost City, but the sad Alyssa couldn't bear their conversation and left sobbing.

"I will give it a try, but I can't guarantee it." Annan took the poisoned apple.

"Even if you fail, you are braver than the rest of us." The Archmage laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Please be careful……"

The nobles clumsily moved the debris wall leading to the depths of the palace, and watched Annan enter the depths with awe and hope.

"Let's return to the original position and wait for the good news from the Lord of Liberty City." The Archmage took a deep breath and arranged for them.

…

Annan held the magic lamp and moved forward in the dark palace.

The Burnt Girl hides in his shadow, ensuring that when danger arises, she will appear as soon as possible.

Moving forward along the blood-red carpet, Annan felt that he was getting deeper and deeper into the palace...but nothing strange ever appeared, and the surrounding silence was scary.

Wow——

I don't know how much time passed before Annan climbed up the stairs, and two magic lamps suddenly lit up in front of him.

Annan paused for a moment, then moved on.

There was no red carpet under his feet, and the sound of footsteps on the brick and stone floor echoed in the empty corridor.

The magic lamps on both sides lit up as Annan walked by, and then went out as he walked by. I don't know if it was magic, or the princess already knew of his arrival.

Annan continued to move forward boringly for another ten minutes, but no weirdness appeared.

When Annan felt that the palace was almost as big as Liberty City, a faint light finally lit up in front of him.

There were no more magic lamps on both sides. Annan put away his own magic lamp at the same time, walking in the darkness, gradually approaching the only light deep in the palace.

It was the light that shone in from the outside. It shone exactly in the center of the circular square at noon, and fell on a gray-haired beauty entangled in thorns.

Covered in light and carrying shadows, she sat paralyzed in front of a stone door. The thorns sticking out of the door wrapped around her and dug into her hands and feet. There was a pool of brown blood around him.

Annan's arrival made the dead princess raise her drooped head, and she saw that beautiful and terrifying face... even more beautiful.

Even though there were maggots crawling in her left eye and one arm turned gray, the beauty bursting out from this firm will and fragile body was completely beyond the reach of the fake princess in Huadu... The fake princess in the capital The princess is just a puppet with her appearance.

A weak whisper sounded in the square: "A warlock blessed by the World Tree, entangled by the Tree of the Other World, and followed by weirdness... The Lost City welcomes you."

Annan stood at the edge of the square, looked at her, and said softly: "That's not the truth... right?"

After being promoted to an elite warlock, Annan has more than just immersive eyes, an irresistible affinity, the ability to smell and manipulate other people's emotions, and the ability to tell whether a person is good or bad...

The moment he saw the princess, Annan knew that she was not the bad person they thought she was - not because of her appearance.

The princess showed sadness and shed a tear from her right eye, which was not occupied by maggots.

"I am their princess..."

The gray-haired princess slowly told a story that was different from the nobles outside.

That was a month before Annan was still sailing south on a merchant ship, when a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from the rift. In order to protect the Lost City, which had lost the protection of the gods, the princess sacrificed herself to seal the rift and slow down the speed of the strange atmosphere seeping into their world.

Without the elements of betrayal and revenge, it's just a simple story.

Annan already knows what happened later: Crimson Castle asked the fake princess to go to Huadu to show off and deceive. The Skeleton King, who knew the plan, asked Annan to come to Yiwen City to find the real princess. The southern countries outside want to solve the crisis in Yiwen City, but they are not so serious. After all, the "Prince Daughter" has come out.

The nobles who had not had time to leave wanted to kill the princess in order to leave.

"My people..."

All the emotions turned into a sigh that echoed in the empty palace.

"But they were right about one thing..."

The princess looked at Annan calmly: "The passage of the strange world has merged with me. Kill me and the passage will be closed."

"What if it's not closed?" Annan asked her.

A smile appeared on the haggard face of the princess, who was still stunningly beautiful: "I grew up here."

The Lost City is the Princess's Lost City.

"I want to eat an apple, have you brought it?" the princess asked softly.

She knew everything... She watched with her own eyes as the people trapped in the front hall plotted to kill her.

The princess tried hard to protect her people, but was betrayed by her people.

"I think this is a bad plan." Annan looked seriously at the princess who was entangled in thorns, "both for the people who want you to go back, and for the nobles outside who want to kill the princess who protects them."

"but……"

"Maybe there is another way."

The princess was silent for a long time: "You need to get your humanity..."

"What is human nature?"

"Driving those weird 'things'..."

"Weird identity?"

Annan thoughtfully took out the burnt blanket.

The burnt girl emerged from Annan's shadow and stared at him silently with her dark eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you."

The princess has known about its existence for a long time, "It is it, but its humanity is still weak..."

"Can the leaves of the tree from another world help you?" Annan took out the elm leaves again.

"no……"

Annan didn't know what else had to do with "human nature"... He suddenly thought of the flute left by the siren.

"what about this?"

The princess looked at the bone flute in Annan's hand: "Are you willing to give it to me?"

"This is not my thing. If she knew that what she left behind could help you, I think she would be happy."
