Chapter 512 169. Sad Girl
After the release of "The Voice of Freedom", many professionals came to Liberty City for its reputation.
They came from the sea or from the empire and wanted to help, but they inadvertently caused a lot of trouble in the city.
For example, the rudeness of the warrior, the arrogance of the mage, the ranger who likes to climb over the wall, and the thief who can't control his hands.
Dean Blehim, who is in charge of Free City, has eliminated many troubles, including crimes, troubles, thefts, gatherings of people to defecate... the most dangerous one was the almost outbreak of plague. Fortunately, the sanitation tradition of Liberty City nipped the plague in the bud immediately.
Although I don't want to admit it, in the magical world where power belongs to itself, the deterrence of the Musketeers depends on the deterrence of Liberty City - they are dogs that have to look at their masters when beating a dog.
Although some veterans have killed more Skaven than they have ever seen.
Annan had no choice but to ask Ingrid to make some manuals and distribute them to every professional and mercenary who set foot on the temporary port. At least let them know to maintain personal hygiene and public health.
In the final analysis, there are not many things that professionals need to do in Liberty City - Annan wanted warriors to carry wood, mages to stir cement, and bards to cheer them up, but they refused. Only when the rangers and thieves were entrusted to harass the Mad Dog Archduke, they happily agreed.
If only the Elemental Legion were still here...
"Bronzebeard! How long will my Orichalcum last?" Annan ran to the blacksmith shop and asked the female dwarf.
“Do you think orichalcum is easy to shape?” Bronzebeard complained about how the strongest substance is difficult to deform——
“Why don’t you ask our seller to send us a bunch directly? Where is Orichalcum? "
Bronzebeard was stunned for a moment: "Why..."
Bronzebeard, who knew what to do, ran back to prepare. Annan thought, these days of hard work are finally coming. The results have been harvested.
Liberty City, which was crowded with people from Mad Dog Archduke, barely returned to normal. When the war ends in the future, Ingrid predicts that there will be 30,000 to 40,000 residents in the city. One Annan is not enough, but Olmedo feels that the number is just right.
And Olmedo also believes that it is best to add some thresholds to the status of residents-free things will only be not cherished, and this will be a problem for those who follow from the north to Middle-earth, but in the typhoon shelter town It’s not fair to those who leave.
Don’t forget that Xingyue Bay and Breeze City originally evacuated hundreds of thousands of residents scattered across Middle-earth. With the promotion of magical newspapers, they will eventually know the news about Liberty City and come.
Annan adopted the suggestion. Just because of the war, Liberty City had not had time to plan many things.
For example, there is an obvious problem: so far, no street in Liberty City has a name. Even the most prestigious seaside streets are modest "coastal streets".
But naming is not something Annan is good at. He only perfunctorily named the street in front of the city lord's palace "Xingyue Street" to commemorate the loss of his first territory to Ingrid.
With Liberty City on track, their counterattack is also on the agenda.
The Mad Dog Archduke rebelled, and his mages and knights all withdrew to the south of the principality. The nobles behind him withdrew their support, and the heirs who were cowed by the Mad Dog Archduke also jumped out - among them, Gila Erdi has the loudest voice and the most supporters.
The magic newspaper has an influence on people far beyond the bard in the tavern.
When the rangers and thieves brought back the news that the Mad Dog Archduke was in the Watch Territory and there were not many guards around him, Olmedo summoned Fermi's Hellfire and asked them to attack the Watch Territory.
Before setting off, they went to the place where heroic spirits sleep for good luck, and unexpectedly learned that the cemetery has been frequently haunted recently...
The first people to discover it were refugees who ran to the cemetery to rest because they found the streets too crowded. They encountered all kinds of pranks. At first they thought they were naughty children, but they turned out to be naughty ghosts...
On the night when Hellfire set off, Annan and Alice quietly came to the cemetery and saw a group of Pale outlines like smoke and bubbles drifted across the cemetery.
"Their souls went to hell, and their bones were purified so much that even dogs chased them. Why are there still ghosts?" Annan said with doubts.
Alice said that it was their will that formed this haunted place.
"Do they still know me?"
"Probably not..."
Annan has entered the cemetery, and it turns out...even he is on the prank list. Alice watched Annan being chased around by ghosts. They stopped chasing him after he ran out of the cemetery and returned to his usual laziness.
“It’s easy to expel them.”
"No, don't expel."
Who would be afraid of the heroic spirits who protected this city?
At this time, Annan saw Lily walking over with cat steps from not far away, followed by Silly Cat.
Those ghosts who chased away living people when they saw them gathered around Lily and Silly Cat, guarding them as carefully as if they were treasures.
But Lily and Silly Cat can, because they are cute.
Annan and Alice did not interrupt their play time and returned to the city lord's mansion.
The next day, an unexpected guest visited the city lord's mansion - the witch Claire was back.
“Where is your brother?” Annan joked.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Claire became taciturn and her complexion became much paler. Her dark gray eyes stared at Annan emotionlessly.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Annan guessed that she had a dispute with her brother?
The maid Abby came in with the silly cat in her arms. Annan turned around and said, "Prepare some hot soup for our guests."
"Meow--!"
The silly cat suddenly jumped out of the maid Abby's arms, and confronted Claire with its fur blowing.
Annan has never seen Shamao be so fierce...
"Where's your cat?" Annan suddenly realized something.
Claire likes cats, her white cat has never left her, but now the white cat is gone...
"My...cat..."
Claire's lifeless eyes reflected the silly cat, and suddenly there was a flash of struggle: "Kill... me."
Dara, who was the first to notice something was wrong, jumped out of the shadows behind her, holding a sharp dagger. Sliding towards the neck that is close at hand.
"It's too late..."
A helpless sigh suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Claire's forehead cracked with a crack, and as a crystal fell down, the once beautiful cheek opened to both sides, filled with red, and a scarlet devil's eye emerged.
“Quick, look outside!”
As the maid Abby exclaimed, Annan and the others looked out the window.
The world outside the window was suddenly shrouded in a wild and strange scarlet color. The blood color seemed to come from the depths of the sky. People on the street stopped what they were doing and raised their heads, and then their hearts were gripped by an indescribable throbbing.
Deep in the sky, a huge and deep scarlet eye looked down at the entire city, exuding an evil aura that made people crazy.
