Chapter 112 111. New Situation
Annan stood in front of the steps of the trial court, his eyes narrowed by the dazzling sunlight.
The companions stood in front of the steps in the sun.
“Welcome back.”
Francois squeezed to the front and extended the ancient and unique courtesy to Annan. Then he was ignored by Annan, who didn't know him.
"I'm sorry that I had to arrest you in a hurry. They had already taken action when I received the information, so I had to get ahead of them." There were footsteps behind him, and Olmedo walked out with a warm smile, "Thank you. Trust."
"Who are they?"
"Go back to your manor first."
Olmedo sat in the palace of the city lord and Olmedo. In a carriage with the common emblems of many families, Annan got into the carriage belonging to the Twelve Kings of the North.
Two carriages drove away from the steps of the trial court.
"We did misunderstand Olmedo..."
Michael, who followed Annan up, first told Annan what happened these days.
Not long after Olmedo ordered the arrest of Annan, Viscount Brio Reagan jumped out and declared that the real Levis was dead and Annan was a fake. Fortunately, Olmedo had already asked his men to capture Annan in advance and place him in the dungeon.
They therefore realized that Olmedo had another reason for arresting Annan, and began to cooperate with Olmedo's arrangements.
The countess was also involved and tried to contact them. However, considering that it was not appropriate for a woman whose husband had just died to appear, the countess did not wait for him outside the court.
"Viscount Brio Regan..."
Annan knew this man and had passed by his viscounty when he first came to Breeze City.
“He and I have conflicts?” Annan asked guessing, “For example, the territory’s business is mainly spinning.”
Francois shook his head: “Not at all. He I have no grudge against you, nor against the Levis family. The city lord said... the usurper said..."
"You can call him Olmedo."
"...Olmedo said that Viscount Reagan was just pushed out and stood in front of the stage."
"Then the murderer was found?"
"No, but let a viscount become A pawn of temptation..." Francois hesitated.
Annan didn’t know whether he should lament the depth of this whirlpool: “I didn’t see the Viscount in the courtroom.”
“Because before the trial Olmedo was Brio Reagan was arrested for tax fraud."
"Protection?"
"I guess so. Brio Regan is most likely to know the truth."
Annan thought of the female prisoner he met when he came out of the dungeon: "That Blay O. Regan can't be a woman..."
"Of course not." Francois wondered why Annan said that.
“So she’s a woman disguised as a man?”
"It's not..."
"He has a female substitute?"
"Bryo Regan is an old aristocrat who is almost fifty years old."
That's it Dispel Annan's suspicion.
In any case, this trip to the dungeon not only allowed Annan to get rid of his identity as a "fake", so that the enemy could no longer use this to attack and slander Annan, but also recovered two giants and ogres who could not be lower than An elite subordinate can extract 5,000 gold coins by the way.
The latter was just a coincidence, but the former might have been intentional on Olmedo's part.
Annan's attention was focused along the way, because he saw many scavengers appearing on the streets, disposing of the rat-man corpses covered with bristles, and many houses showed signs of burning and destruction.
"I was just about to say. A group of ratmen who wandered near Breeze City got out of the sewers and attacked here last night..."
Annan did not see the injured, but the scavenger's The number and covered rat-man corpses and burned-out houses silently spoke of the scale and destruction.
“This is not a good phenomenon, right?”
"Yes..."
Francois is worried about his hometown.
"The Skaven have never been in the northern towns...never..." And there's no plot in this destruction, just pure catharsis.
Although not many residents were killed or injured, it still cast a shadow over the people of Breeze City. There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets, and many shops are not open...
It was only after we were far away from the attack area that the surrounding area became prosperous.
Ten minutes later, two carriages turned into Annan's manor.
Annan rushed into the study after getting off the car, and soon there was a nervous cry.
“Where is my little spider!”
“I put it in your bedroom.” Abby appeared outside the door like Dela, “I have been feeding it these days.”
Annan breathed a sigh of relief.
Abby hadn't left yet and asked hesitantly: "Master Annan, is there anything special about this spider?"
The answer is nothing except giving Annan weird dreams, but of course Annan doesn't Will say:
"Do you know the Spider Mother Goddess? All spiders are the children of the Spider Mother Goddess."
"Spiders...Mother Goddess..."
Abby showed disgust and fear.
"Okay, don't scare the servants."
Olmedo and Francois followed.
"Where are Michael and Bronzebeard?"
"I will go back after picking you up."
Annan asked the pouty Abby to prepare three cups of coffee and a cup of juice, and then sat on the sofa.
Olmedo sat opposite: "Those who falsely accuse you will be punished."
"I care more about Catalina and my new men than this. "When can we come out?"
"It won't be long." Olmedo sighed, "Breeze City is in chaos, and you need enough guards."
Annan thought of something: " By the way, that guy named Black Tierres betrayed me.”
Francois faithfully played the role of a thug: "Do I need to make him disappear silently in the dungeon?"
"No, I promised to take him out of the dungeon." It is not a good behavior to break a promise, so Annan said: " Let him change a cell."
"One more thing, Annan."
The maid Abby walked into the study with coffee and juice, and Olmedo waited for her to close the door and leave. Then he looked at Annan solemnly: "My father didn't mean to target you."
Annan said nothing and looked at him quietly.
"I know the misunderstanding between you... Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. He once thought that behind you were the rat men who brought chaos, but now it has been proved that you have nothing to do with the rat men."
" This is his apology.”
Olmedo placed a dragon skin scroll in front of Annan.
Eight-ring spell scroll, Omlado Ray.
Annan did doubt Augusta Olmedo, because there were not many people in Breeze City who could make a viscount a pawn.
But the value of the eighth-level spell scroll far exceeds the IOU of 5,000 gold coins.
In any case...the viscount and his viscount will have the answer.
At this time, Annan suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.
"Where is Martin?"
"We were about to talk to you. Martin...Martin..." Francois faltered and was speechless.
"Where was he when the rat men attacked?" Annan felt a strong sense of uncertainty in his heart.
"That's not true." Olmedo took over the topic helplessly, "Martin just ran to my father again."
