Chapter 106 105. Became a prisoner
The banquet ended in failure.
This banquet hosted by the fake king turned into a complete joke. Not only because almost no one attended the banquet, but the false king actually invited: a bunch of smelly goblins, a group of dirty commoners, an upstart businessman, and the notorious shameless baron
It is said that Lawrence The old head of the Te family went to the banquet hall and exposed the fake king's ugly veil on the spot.
——The aristocratic and wealthy people laughed so much the next day.
It looks like the banquet hosted by Annan is indeed a farce.
The clamor for Annan to impersonate Levi's is getting louder and louder, and some radical nobles are even clamoring to arrest the counterfeiter quickly.
Francois admired Annan for being able to sit still at this time: "Aren't you angry?"
"Not angry."
Sitting behind the desk, Annan was slightly He tilted his head and said, "Dara, assassinate this person."
The moving shadow opened the oak door and left the study.
"Uh..." Francois realized that Annan was just joking and continued: "Annan, I know you don't want to believe that Olmedo's father is the murderer. But when a person stands like a murderer, If he acts like a murderer and behaves like a murderer, then he is the murderer."
"And Olmedo did not show up at the banquet last night..."
Annan also knew this, but. He couldn't think of a reason.
Augusta Olmedo is not a careerist. He has no reason to cooperate with the rat people, even if he covets the position of city lord - this is like a rich man who puts down all his wealth for 100 gold coins on the gambling table. .
Francois continued to say aggressively: "You will only be attacked more if you continue to remain silent."
"What can we do?"
Annan looked at Francois.
This is a battle within the rules:
Augusta Olmedo knows that Annan is a fake, so he is looking for evidence.
They suspect Augusta Olmedo of having an affair with the Rat Man and are also looking for evidence.
And Annan and his friends could not fight against the old aristocratic system represented by Augusta.
As long as Augusta Olmedo thought about it, the news that Annan was a fake could spread throughout the city in one day. And Annan's claim that Augusta Olmedo had an affair with the Rat Man would only allow Francois to spread it and possibly be suppressed.
Unless you use additional methods to break out of the rules.
Annan suddenly remembered that he had missed something, and quickly took out the letter paper and wrote to the leaders of Osulund, telling them that he was trapped in a political whirlpool and not to believe any news sent back.
Osurond Territory? Thirty days?
Does the apocalypse forecast have something to do with the Reeves family...
"The old head of the Laurence family seems to believe you. Is he willing to testify?"
"We don't. The evidence proves that I am..."
The study door was pushed open, Francois looked at the door, and Dela came back with a cup of coffee.
"Did you add sugar?" Annan asked
"Two spoons."
Francois continued to suggest: "What about us telling Olmedo about this?"
"How do you think he will react when he finds out that his father is related to the Rat Man?"
Even if Olmedo is truly fair, he should not expect that he will investigate his father's case in a fatherly manner. Father.
"Francois, I need you to help me bring Marco."
Marco is the publisher owner.
Marco, who attended the banquet, successfully convinced himself that he was just a businessman. Whether the King in the North is true or false is none of his business. Even if the King in the North is a ratman, it will not affect the publisher's business - maybe "The Law Breaks the Sky" will sell better.
“I’m going now.”
Francois stood up and said. But as soon as he opened the door, noise and bustle came from the corridor, and the maids clung to the walls in panic.
The standard plate armor indicates the identity of the intruder - a Breeze City guard.
"You are invading the sacred territory of the King of the North!"
Francois blocked the door, and the guard captain reached out to push him away, and stepped forward to stand on the desk. The chill that Della radiated made him pause.
“Not anymore.”
The captain of the guard stood in front of the desk and took out a signed order:
"The city lord's order. Apprehend the warlock Annan who is pretending to be the King of the North, Reeves Reeves."
"You guys. Is there any evidence?”
Annan sighed and put down the warm coffee.
"I am..."
The magnetic voice sounded, Annan's black eyes rippled, and Francois looked out the door in surprise.
The familiar silhouette of blond hair walked into the study.
"Olmedo?"
Francois rushed towards Olmedo and was blocked by the guards.
“You betrayed us!”
"I have not betrayed anyone, because I have always been loyal to Breeze City."
Olmedo looked at Annan calmly, and suddenly uttered a whisper that only Annan could hear.
“I need your trust.”
Annan’s eyes fell on the soldiers behind Olmedo.
They are just ordinary guards, only the guard captain is an elite.
And Olmedo knew that he could summon the blue dragon,
"What are you going to do with me?"
"You will be imprisoned in the dungeon and investigated."
Annan nodded lightly: "Lead the way."
Olmedo relaxed slightly, ignored Francois and Dela who stared at him angrily, and led Annan out of the manor.
Before being sent into the carriage, he stopped the captain of the guard who wanted to put a magic ring on Annan.
"Lord City Lord, he is a very dangerous magician..."
"But before the trial, he is still the King of the North."
Streetside The crowd threw rocks and vegetables and shouted to get out of Breeze City——
Annan could not say that they had been fooled because he was indeed a fake. He was just wondering why these civilians had prepared everything in advance and were waiting here?
After dozens of minutes of jolting, Annan didn't know where the carriage was, because a sack was put on his head when he got off the carriage. The only thing he could be sure of was that he was going down the steps.
The eerie coldness stimulated the appearance of goosebumps on the skin, and the air echoed with chains and strange murmurs——
Crash——
The sound of the iron door sounded close at hand. , Annan was pushed into the dungeon, and the sound of locking the door sounded behind him.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Annan lifted the linen cloth and looked around at the empty dungeon that looked like a hall.
The dim fluorite on the wall exudes a dim fluorescence, the cold and damp penetrate into the bone marrow pervasively, and several indescribable dark outlines lean against the depths, echoing with low hums.
A figure that was barely a human silhouette said: "...I hijacked a caravan."
And another figure next to him said: "I am the leader of that caravan. "
A ferocious and sturdy silhouette said: "I killed the short humans who did not pay me."
The silhouette of a giant bear said: "I killed a group. Mercenaries.”
The last remaining dwarf-like shadow of Stephen exuded a wild atmosphere. It didn't say anything because it didn't need words to express its ferocity.
Then, a few gleams of light in the darkness fell on Annan, who had just arrived, and there was a mocking chuckle.
"What about you, Xiaomi, your crime is to steal the cub's candy?"
