Chapter 578 Chapter 235. Counterattack Development
In the magnificent and luxurious new palace, King Crow of the Kingdom of Ruikanle reclined on the throne, listening to his prime minister whisper.
"We don't need to pay attention to those rumors, and we should prove it with actions. We hide here, and they will say that we are demons. When we defeat the rat people, all criticism will turn into praises. When we regain the old land, that is The great Montreal family returns to the north. "
"This world belongs to the winner!"
Claude stood up and walked down the steps on the velvet carpet to the ring outside the palace. Terrace.
Hundreds of thousands of eyes looked at this place from the streets of the city. The king raised the sword symbolizing royal power and shouted: "Go north!"
Their cheers were like a mountain and a tsunami.
……
Old Wheat City
The basin turned into a black ocean, surging with waves.
The cloaked rat priests and elders climbed onto the high wall, overlooking the queue of rat men passing by on the street.
Tens of thousands of elite ratmen raised their spears, exuding a fierce aura. He was close to an orc in stature, holding a shield, and was followed closely by a cloaked rat guard.
The ground began to tremble, and hundreds of rats wearing sewn leather armor walked randomly, with low rat assassins holding double daggers quietly following behind them.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of uniform shouting, getting closer and closer.
A huge wriggling mountain of flesh that resembled a rat man rose from the end of the street, being carried by thousands of slave rats. The abominable shapes all over the caves are squirming, giving birth to rat babies all the time.
The tenth mother rat passed by, and the last few hundred groups of different ethnic groups corroded by Chaos appeared in the queue.
They include elves, dragons, spellcasters, and druids. Exuding a dead atmosphere of ominousness and plague, it followed the rats as they headed south.
......
"Are you Ivana Ser?"
Annan and Olmedo looked at the little girl who was only taller than one end of the desk.
"Master Annan, Master Olmedo, what's wrong with me..." The little girl who had never seen such a battle was a little uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, the professor at school said you are very smart, and we are very curious."
Annan's whisper eased the little girl's uneasiness, and she raised her head proudly: "Everyone is like this Said."
"But you are not modest."
"I am just a child, and modesty is an adult's business."
Good, it seems the "smartest man in Liberty City" isn't an introvert.
"Have you tested your magic affinity?" Annan asked.
Ivana shook her head, and Annan asked the maid Abby to bring a test magic stone.
"Put your hand on it. The brighter the magic stone, the higher your magic affinity." Annan stood up and drew the curtains.
Ivana rubbed her hands on her clothes and covered her little hands on the magic stone.
The magic stone is dark and dull. Although the room is not a dark room, it already shows that Ivana has no affinity with magic...
"It doesn't matter, maybe you are a warlock like me." Annan comforted, letting the wizard tower The mage comes for a visit.
Olmedo shook his head slightly. Warlocks are scarcer than mages... How can there be gold in a silver mine that doesn't even have a few pieces of silver?
The mage then confirmed Olmedo’s conjecture that Ivana was just an ordinary person.
Ivana, who knew the news, also lowered her head in disappointment.
Annan patted her head: "Don't be sad, this is Liberty City, your talent doesn't determine anything. How about I treat you to a lemon soda?"
"Okay."
At this time, Annan noticed that Ivana had a bald patch on her head: "Did anyone bully you in the orphanage?"
"No, I am the eldest sister's military advisor."
Annan often visits Cathy. She likes to sit on the beach and build castles... Does a sand sculpture also need a strategist?
"How come I don't know?"
"The eldest sister said that the children in the orphanage should unite to fight against the enemy."
"Who is the enemy?" "The guard of the orphanage——" He made a mistake Ivana’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth.
No matter how smart you are, you are still just a child.
The maid Abby brought lemon soda, and Ivana held the water glass and sipped it.
Annan asked Ivana some more questions. She is indeed very smart and sensitive to numbers. With the basic knowledge taught in school, she can easily calculate the four arithmetic operations of five digits... She is just ten years old.
Anyway, Ivana Seer is a smart child, if not the smartest person in Liberty City.
Annan plans to let Ingrid train her.
Liberty City has passed the stage of shortage of manpower. Annan cannot name many serving officials at the moment, but they must prepare for the future.
Twenty years later, many people except Annan have grown old, but Ivana Ser, who has just turned thirty, is in her prime.
Ingrid had no objection, but Ivana hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Boys always bully us. If we didn't have the eldest sister, we would be bullied all the time..." Ivana bravely looked directly at Annan, but she concealed Cowardly: "I...I want my sisters to be like me."
Olmedo pursed her lips slightly, and Ingrid stared at Annan, wondering what answer he would give.
"Just do it if you want to." Annan gently touched Ivana's head, "But you have to know that rights are always linked to responsibilities. Rights without responsibilities are just castles in the air..."
He said The famous saying came out: "If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight."
"I understand."
Ivana seems to understand but not understand.
A few years later, Ivana Ser, who is the Finance Minister of the Free City, will definitely remember the rainy season in the year 1000 of the Saint Laurent calendar when Annan told her, "If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight."
"Ingrid, please send her back, and cultivate a relationship by the way."
"...Okay."
Ingrid feels like she has gotten to know her "boss" again ", took Ivana's hand and walked outside.
"By the way, let the guards of the orphanage pay attention, the little guys want to 'escape'." Annan and the dejected Ivana blinked.
“She is really smart.” Olmedo commented after they left.
Just as Annan was about to speak, he suddenly took out the devil's parchment.
No change, as if the heat I felt just now was just an illusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“Berudona said some time ago that she wanted to surprise me.”
“Maybe you have a group of devil fans in hell. Olmedo said with a smile.
"Maybe we have the whereabouts of your father." Annan joked.
Olmedo smiled, with an imperceptible sadness flashing in his eyes: "He was eroded by Chaos... Even if his soul is still there, it is controlled by Chaos, not in hell."
< br>"It doesn't matter, maybe you will have a chance to kill him again in the future...Why are you staring at me, did I say the wrong thing?"
......
Ivana Ser Back to the orphanage.
Ivana let go of Ingrid's hand, said goodbye to her politely and ran back to Cathy.
"Master Annan summoned me and praised me for being smart."
"Did father mention me?" Cathy asked happily.
"No...but I hinted to Mr. Annan that we are going to sneak out...Mr. Caretaker will make those boys who run out tonight suffer."
Orphanage From the corner came two girls' "Jie Jie Jie" grins.
