Chapter 630 27. Annan’s Daughter
“I want to think about it…”
Annan temporarily refuses the request of the businessman from another world.
He is just an elite warlock. On top of that, Annan is just the lord of a small town.
It shouldn’t be his turn to enter the Lost City and investigate the source of the strangeness, at least it shouldn’t be the turn of a foreigner from northern China.
Annan only bought three leaves of the tree from another world for the time being and formed two teams. The Skeleton King made an appointment with the merchant to trade again in a week, and Annan would give him an answer then.
The traces of the merchant disappeared as the gray fog converged, and the tomb returned to normal.
"You are right..." Skeleton King commented on Annan's previous answer, "The rules of Lost City are completely different from ours, and everything we know does not work there."
"Didn't you want me to go to Lost City to find the princess before?" Annan deliberately teased.
“We were not familiar with each other at that time, but now I know you are a unique human being.”
The Skeleton King's soul fire swayed, and Annan also smiled.
It is really interesting to make friends with other races.
"Shall we go back now?" Annan asked.
“The strange smell zone at night is very dangerous, let’s set off during the day.”
“Then here…”
"It's safe underground."
Annan has nothing to worry about. Next to it is the Skeleton King who appears to be an epic but is actually a legend, two epic amulets, and the portal can lead to the ancestor's bedroom at any time.
If this can't even solve the weirdness on the edge of Lost City, I might as well join the weird camp.
The whole evening was uneventful. Annan was meditating, and Skeleton King was doing some simple experiments using purchased materials. They set out early in the morning and returned the same way.
When passing by a wooden house in the forest, Annan was lying in front of the window, waving to the wooden house in the distance.
In the nearby cemetery, wild flowers are blooming.
......
When Annan returned to the necropolis, the tomb of the Crimson Princess was filled with joy and laughter.
“You didn’t see how proud it was when it thought I believed it. It’s really funny——” Princess Crimson held her belly and laughed non-stop.
"What's wrong?" Annan has never seen her so happy.
Princess Crimson quickly regained her ladylike demeanor and gently smoothed her hair from her forehead: "I met a monster who called himself Queen Mother. He said that you were a human being lurking around me and that there was a terrible conspiracy..."
As she spoke, the Scarlet Princess laughed again, while Annan tried hard to keep a smile that did not reveal his secrets.
"Does it think I will believe it? How can humans be kind enough to help us!"
"Indeed...and it doesn't matter even if I am a human. It doesn't know that you are not so resistant to humans. "
"No!" Unexpectedly, the Scarlet Princess denied Annan's statement, "I will never allow humans to be around me! Don't make such a joke, David..."
Is this the arrogance of the vampires?
"I thought you didn't hate humans that much..." Annan didn't say anything about "Seventh Night".
Crimson Princess said softly: "That is also as our servant. Human beings cannot be trusted, and all short-lived species cannot be trusted... If humans dare to put their hands into my power... I will chop them off. He cut off their limbs and turned them into blood slaves."
Annan thought that the Scarlet Princess would be very close to humans and would not even mind falling in love. It seems that he imagined the alliance with the Scarlet Princess too simply...< br>
“…tell me about the guy pretending to be your mother, how did it appear?”
The Scarlet Princess described in detail the outline and dialogue of the mother figure she saw in her scarlet dream.
"What if it is really your mother?" "This is impossible."
Crimson Princess denied and said: "It said that it had been watching me silently, but I can’t even tell you what I have experienced in the past. And my family is the oldest blood clan. She should call herself ‘I’. The most important thing is..."
A touch of crimson. On the cheeks of the Crimson Princess.
"I know you can't be human."
Annan changed the topic: "I caught a vampire, do you want to interrogate it?"
"You did a good job, David!”
Crimson Princess took Lucy and asked the skeleton servant to lead them to the dungeon in the necropolis.
In the cold dungeon where will-o'-the-wisps were floating, the Scarlet Princess saw the vampire who had caused trouble for her at the banquet the day before yesterday.
She originally wanted to exile the guy who attacked David to the territory of the rat people after the interrogation was over - this was a punishment more terrible than death for a vampire. But after approaching the cell, she heard the vampire lying on the ground in a panic, muttering something like "Odris... this is impossible...".
"You..."
Lucy interrupted the Scarlet Princess and asked the vampire: "What did you say?"
The vampire raised his head, his scarlet eyes full of fear: "Princess Crimson... Your Highness, I never thought that the Prince would be by your side all the time."
Princess Crimson suddenly became excited: "Did you see my father!?"
"I saw it, he has been protecting you..."
...
Four leaves of a tree from another world. Annan gave three slices to Olmedo and one to Irelanze.
He didn’t dare to give it to Tedder. As the elder of the Elf Royal Court, she knows many secrets, and maybe also knows the knowledge about the World Tree, but just because she is an elder, she will give priority to the ethnic group...
Let a ethnic group that owns the World Tree know News of another Yggdrasil...can't be a good thing.
You can't tell the elves, at least not before forming an alliance.
Irilanze has no problem. Her long life made her realize that apart from love, there was nothing worth caring about.
The three tablets given to Olmedo allow her to test distance and time, and the tablet given to Irelanze allows her to conduct research.
"I'm going to see how the interrogation went."
Then Annan followed Maggot to the dungeon.
Annan was worried about the dream of the Scarlet Princess...
It would be fine if that dream was the same conspiracy as the vampire attacking him, but if that dream was really the Scarlet Queen... wouldn't she know about herself? Sneaking into your daughter for a purpose?
The key is the attitude of the Crimson Princess.
At first Annan thought that the Scarlet Princess knew something. "Seventh Night" and the name David were both hints... but it turned out that the Scarlet Princess really didn't know and only liked her superficially.
She is just willing to watch this kind of love story between vampires and humans, but she doesn’t want it to happen to herself.
She does not lack the arrogance of the ancient vampires compared to other vampires.
Annan's original plan to confess to the Scarlet Princess when he found an opportunity in a few days came to nothing.
The sound of Annan’s footsteps echoed in the dungeon. Scarlet and Lucy looked at Annan emerging from the darkness, and then a scene that shocked them appeared: the vampire in the cell knelt on the ground and expressed his surrender to Annan: "Lord Odris, I, Francoise Gallego, swore a blood oath and was willing to be loyal to the Stuart family forever..."
The Scarlet Princess looked at Annan blankly.
"Father...?"
