Chapter 309 Section 162 Retreat


Chapter 309 162. Retreat

"Kyle! Kyle! Send me back!" Annan shouted and pushed open the door of the library: "The capital is too scary! I don't want to-"

Annan's shouting stopped abruptly because of the "outsider" in the library - or Annan was the outsider.

A quiet girl in a fluffy black lace dress sat by the window, her eyes similar to Princess Sails fell on Annan.

“You are not allowed to call me that!” the legendary mage standing opposite said angrily, holding a book.

"But you said you won't let me call you 'Kerberos'..."

"No way!" Kerberos was not as cold as when we first met. Now he is almost as cold as Agarwal. One part of the irritated: "Annan, you should remain in awe of the legendary mage."

"Awe is something you put in your heart, not say it in your mouth."

The girl because Look closely at Annan's words.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." Kerberos said to the girl who nodded, and came outside the corridor with Annan.

"Have you met the Grand Duke?"

"Well, he asked me to come up to you, after I called you Kyle." Together with the Grand Duke Babataud, he was much more enthusiastic about Annan.

Kerberos began to regret why he agreed to the Grand Duke's trip to Xingyue Bay, so he got stuck on this guy: "'Don't you do it again'?"

At this time, Qiuzhi The carved wooden door opened a gap, and the girl appeared behind the door, making a silent gesture to Annan.

Annan understood: "I don't want to stay any longer, send me back."

"Don't you have a scroll to go back to?"

"It's for danger. Now I'm safe." Annan said kindly: "You are a legendary mage, no matter the snowy mountains or the deep sea, Middle Earth or If you want to step into the void, you only need one portal."

"Okay, now?"

"I have some things to take back. I'll come find you in the afternoon!"

Kerberos choked and almost refused Annan's endless attempts to take advantage... But he was a legendary mage, and bargaining with a little warlock who was not an elite was meaningless in itself.

"Then are we done talking?" Annan said deliberately.

The girl behind the door got the hint and slipped back to the library.

Kerberos waved his hand irritably and opened a portal. On the other side was the entrance to the princess's manor.

"Go out."

"I wish you health and happiness every day." Annan stepped through the portal neatly.

Back at the manor, Annan told Princess Sails that he was planning to return to Xingyue Bay.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Because the rat people...they are getting closer."

"So you want to escape?" "It's just a temporary retreat. "Princess Sails gave Annan the few goodwill in the royal city, so he suggested that the princess also temporarily leave the royal capital for a while.

Princess Seles rejected him. Her idea is simple, if the rat people can capture the royal capital, then it doesn't matter where they are.

Annan felt that the north was safe. It is winter there for half of the year, and there is no soil for rat-men to breed. Just like that joke in the North: What are the elements of water, fire, earth, and wind called in the North? They are collectively called frozen elements.

Then Annan went to the outer courtyard of Odgers Academy, and finally got good news from Klein: She was going to go to the Koi Forest for a trial next, and the Koi Forest was in the Principality of Mullaini to the east.

Next, Annan came to the Black Gold Auction House, ready to buy some things, and invited Pola Silma: "Are you interested in opening a branch in Xingyue Bay?"

Pola Silma rejected him because the population of Xingyue Bay was too small. A city-state with a population of tens of thousands only earns a few hundred gold coins a year. If it is placed in the far north, the money may not be enough to spend. Annan had no choice but to buy some things in Sylma and some in the store, spending more than three hundred gold coins.

Annan spent the whole morning shopping and wandering around. It seemed that no one in the entire royal capital was happier than Annan. In the afternoon, Annan said goodbye to Princess Sayres and drove a rental carriage and kobold guards back to the outside of the Grand Duke's residence.

The Secretary of the Interior should not mind Annan abducting their kobolds.

"This is a gift for you and Mr. Mel."

Annan gave Kerberos a quill and Mel a book.

Kerberos's face looked better. The gift is not expensive, what is valuable is the respect of the King of the North.

After opening the portal and sending Annan, his goods, and guards back to Star-Moon Bay, Kerberos, who had regained his composure, returned to his library and picked up a Lich Manuscript.

A legend has an almost eternal lifespan in the eyes of mortals, but they sterilely think that the legend will be like in the story, wrestling with giants, arm-wrestling with tree men, and just going to hunt ratmen for some fun... Mage Won't. Nothing in the world can compare with the mystery of knowledge. They prefer to use their limited lives to learn unlimited knowledge.

When the sun rose seven times and set seven times, a knock on the door awakened Kerberos. It’s time for weekly lessons again.

Kerberos put down the manuscript without finishing, saw the pen and book on the table, and thought of the gift. Asking the princess to wait for a while, he went to the retinue of knights and handed the book to Mel.

"A gift left to you by Annan."

After Kerberos left. The Grail Knight wiped his hands with a handkerchief and opened the book.

【Mr. Mel, I'm sorry I can only tell you this way. Because we are being sucked into a huge whirlpool. You are the Knight of the Holy Grail and the person I trust most, so I decided to let you know about it:]

[There is a group of despicable existences. They were either bewitched by the Skaven, or they were planning something. In short, this group of beings allowed their enemies to rush into their homes, let their men massacre their own people, burn down their houses, and erase the memories of those who knew about it. 】

“And now, I want to tell you that these existences are the royal family, his Mage Tower, and the lackeys of Ordgers Academy. They sit back and watch the ratmen who destroyed the Violet Kingdom march in and engulf one-sixth of the land. , let the Knights of the Guard massacre villages in Elida County. Then, when I tried to call you back through death, a legendary mage erased the memory of all of us.]

[This. That's all I know. 】

[No matter why they did it, I cannot agree with this cruelty. So, they were doing what they thought was right, and I was doing what I thought was right. 】

【I can only express my dissatisfaction in this way. A guard can defend his village, but not the country. 】

【But I don’t recommend that you burn as hot as magma, because the enemy is far more powerful than you and I think. If you must do something, rally your friends and hide your ideas. Remember, don't let despicable evil defeat justice.

【This trip to the capital was not fruitless - I witnessed the hypocrisy and coldness of the upper echelons of the capital. 】
