Chapter 509 166. Him
The golden dragon Rex quietly retreated and came to the square in front of the city lord's palace.
“Meow~”
A tabby cat passed in front of it, followed by a snow-white cat. The moment he saw the white cat, Golden Dragon Rex's pupils suddenly shrank.
Why does He appear here...
The white cat walked up to it with elegant steps and uttered a beautiful female voice like a clear spring: "Golden Dragon, why are you here?"
Golden Dragon Rex lowered his head slightly and showed respect: "I heard Something evil is happening here...but it looks like someone is trying to take advantage of me."
On the contrary, Liberty City has taken in too many refugees who don't belong to them...Where do these people come from? Golden Dragon Rex will investigate.
“Your enemy is in the north.” the noble and elegant white cat reminded.
The Golden Dragon Rex leaned over: "What happened deep in the sky? And our Father God..."
"They will come back one after another..."
"Thank you——"
"Meow~"
At this time, the tabby cat, who found that his companion had not followed, wandered around again Come back and rub the white cat.
"Lily said you should go see its owner." The white cat, who could no longer remain noble, said helplessly.
"That black-haired boy? Forget it, all the people in power will use me after they know that I am Golden Dragon Rex, such as this time..."
After the words fell, Golden Dragon Rex saw this man become The lady in the form of a cat has contempt in her eyes.
Did you say something wrong?
"What can I do for you, madam..." Golden Dragon Rex continued to be humble.
“Don’t tell anyone.”
"I will keep your secret."
In matters that have nothing to do with treasure, not even the Templars can match the credibility of the Golden Dragon.
The golden dragon Rex left Liberty City step by step. Different from when he came, no one noticed it anymore. Even though it turned into a golden dragon shining brightly in the sun, the skeleton rats were still in the wheat field. Wandering around in a daze.
"The silly cat is staring at the sky in a daze again." In front of the window on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion, a hand touched the white cat's head.
The white cat jumped out with its fur flying, and deftly jumped onto the eaves regardless of Annan's attempts to stay. He sat down gracefully and looked at the invisible golden dragon.
...
The Mad Dog Archduke brought another lot of trouble - thousands of civilians rushed towards Liberty City crying.
"Does he want to drive the entire principality's civilians here?"
Annan is not used to such a war.
If they were enemies, he could coldly let the magic guns and artillery fire at will, but they were civilians, and those civilians who were accidentally injured were wailing, praying, and rotting...
Fortunately, they were already familiar with the road, and with the help of three epic mages, they successfully received this group of civilians who were forced to leave their hometown.
“We can no longer accept new refugees.” Olmedo warned Annan.
"Do you know why human beings are great?" Annan asked and answered: "Because of our altruism."
Annan was being stubborn, he knew that the current Free City has reached its limit... Now water and food already need their own portal to relieve.
But looking on the bright side, as long as it can withstand the continuous gifts from Mad Dog Archduke, Liberty City will become a city with a population of more than 100,000 after the war.
It doesn't matter that there are very few professionals among these people. Magic guns can allow ordinary people to exert the power of professionals.
But then the area around Liberty City suddenly became much quieter.
It was the "Elven Mentor" who told Annan through the leaves of the World Tree that the passing golden dragon Rex made a big fuss in the watch territory.
"Is Rex a golden dragon?" Annan asked confusedly at that time.
Mad Dog Archduke no longer drives away civilians, but his spread of massacres of civilians in Liberty City has not stopped.
The nobles in the principality who originally favored Girardi were deceived by the false news and gradually turned to the Mad Dog Archduke. The surrounding countries, including the envoys of the Keating Principality, were also accusing Annan of his atrocities, but the Tatooine Empire remained unmoved.
Especially Srtovis. In the eyes of the locals, even the feces in Annan are golden, and there are elves dancing around it. And the Mad Dog Archduke's gold was cursed and covered in devil's urine. "We have to think of something." Girardi stopped playing and went to the city lord's mansion to cry.
If Mad Dog Archduke continues to slander him, he will truly become the official heir.
"It's time." Evelin, who followed, stared at Annan with clear eyes.
"It's time..." Annan agreed.
"It's time...?" Only Girardi was confused.
Not long after, the civilians living in the newspaper office discovered that their "home" was gone.
Guests who often went to the tavern for entertainment discovered that Ruth was missing.
Ingrid found that Annan was missing - but she was not surprised at all, and knocked on Olmedo's office with government affairs in hand.
"Deputy City Lord, Mr. Annan is going to use the magic newspaper."
"I understand. Five towns, six ports... should we be able to publish directly in eleven towns?"
"Actually, there are twelve. West is in the Principality of Keating." Ingrid handed over the government affairs, "This is Annan's new department."
Olmedo picked up the top one paper.
"Propaganda Department?"
...
The attic of the city lord’s mansion.
Annan, Evelin and Tina are plotting together.
“I want to focus on the slander and cruelty of the Mad Dog Archduke in the first issue of “The Voice of Freedom.” Do you have any ideas?
“I’ve prepared this!” Evelyn Excitedly, she took out the magic stone from her long skirt.
Annan was shown in the attic: the magical image from a bird's-eye view clearly recorded the Mad Dog Archduke's mages and knights manipulating and driving the crying civilians towards the battlefield.
“When?”
“When that mad dog smeared us, I gave a baby dragon 5 copper coins to photograph it.”
“Well done. !”
I don’t know whether Annan is praising the magical image itself or Evelin’s achievement of using 5 copper coins.
"Tina, it seems there is no need for you to provide false evidence."
"It doesn't matter." Tina shrugged.
"Now that we have physical evidence and a witness...Girardi is the perfect candidate."
"And, are our racial jokes going to continue?"
“Of course! This is our soul!”
...
After finishing the secret conversation, Annan returned to the living room. Itilia and Olmedo are waiting for him.
“Ingrid told us that you are going to publish a magic newspaper?” Itilia asked
“Well, it’s time to let the people of Middle-earth see the power of the propaganda machine.”
"So you established a new Propaganda Department...where is the candidate for the minister?"
"How are Evelin and Tina?" Annan looked at Olmedo.
"They are not suitable to be officials."
"I think so too..." Annan continued to look at Olmedo without blinking.
"Okay... I will take over temporarily. What are you going to call the magic newspaper, or the "Free City News"?"
"How about the "Voice of Liberty"?"
