Chapter 685 82. The Crying Crimson Princess
Moreno, the commander of the city guards in Huadu, is a special guy. For example, when Annan saw him, the commander was wearing a garland of flowers, just to protect the flowers. They all have a warm and hospitable style
But when Annan said that there was a mole in the city guard who was unfavorable to the princess, the commander of the city guard bluntly assured Annan that no matter who that person was, he would Find them out, put them in a dungeon and torture them.
To some extent, this guy is scary.
His loyalty to Huadu allowed him to resolutely destroy all enemies standing in front of Huadu.
Moreno called the captain of the soldier and the captain of the guard. They were still alive, facing the commander of the city guard. The captain of the guard bluntly said that the knight captain of the knight guard told him.
The knight captain was brought, and he was actually alive, with a confused look on his face.
Unexpectedly, the knight commander was loyal - he said that a servant of a big shot came to tell him that vampires would come to the city in the next few days and asked him to strengthen patrols.
“Who is that servant?”
“I don’t know him, I have only seen him beside the princess...”
The clue leads back to the housekeeper.
Then the real situation is: the housekeeper learned that the Scarlet Princess had entered the city, and told the city guards the news, intending to borrow a knife to kill people. Unexpectedly, Annan would come to pick up the Scarlet Princess, and the plan failed...
"This I hope you can keep this a secret first."
It's useless to catch the butler. Annan wants to catch the guy behind the butler. He has no one to use, so he wants to use the city guard.
“No fifth person will know about tonight’s conversation.” Moreno said, glancing at his subordinates, “I will let them listen to you next.”
"Thank you for your help. I will inform the Queen City Guards of their cooperation." Annan expressed his gratitude to Commander Moreno.
“For Istrat.”
Moreno patted his armor and asked the retinue to lead the knight commander and the others away: “Such a young queen knight, we can talk about some private matters. Are you ready?"
"Please tell me." Annan said politely
"I haven't seen such an outstanding young man like you for a long time. Do you...have a fiancée?"
"Uh... I'm sorry, I already have... someone I like."
"That's a pity." Moreno showed a look of regret, and then hope appeared, "What do you think of Huadu?"
"Hell for people with pollen allergies."
After Annan finished speaking, he and Moreno laughed together: "A beautiful place full of life. I have never been to the Elf King's Court, but I want to This place won’t be any worse than there.”
Moreno smiled so hard that he could hardly keep his mouth shut: “I know it’s presumptuous to say this, but if the gods don’t return, Wenwen City will not be able to recover. Do you want to temporarily hold some positions in Huadu? ”
"Sorry, Mr. Moreno, I am a little lord. I will go back after the celebration."
"I know, Free City, right? What will happen to the princess when you return to Middle-earth?"
"That's the princess. She doesn't need a knight that much." Annan said humbly.
Moreno's admiration became even stronger. Apart from being a warlock, the boy in front of him had almost no shortcomings...
Annan wasted a lot of time with Moreno. After coming out, he first asked the fake princess to keep an eye on the butler. When he came back, he came to find him, and then returned to the theater to pick up the Crimson Princess.
There were still ten minutes to go until late at night. Remembering that the magic mirror had not been used today, Annan asked casually: "Magic mirror, magic mirror, when can I advance to level six?"
"One day in the future . ”
Looking on the bright side, at least Annan can survive until the day he reaches level six.
At the entrance of the theater, Annan saw the Scarlet Princess with red eyes following the crowd.
Some young people wanted to strike up a conversation, but they were scared away as soon as Annan walked over.
"Are you crying?"
"No!"
"Is the sand in the theater too strong? Or is the theater full of people spoiling it?" The Scarlet Princess couldn't find an excuse. , stamped his feet loudly angrily, and returned to the carriage.
"Did she buy it?" Annan asked the person in charge who came out in a low voice.
"No."
"How could it be?"
The person in charge hesitated: "Could it be that she didn't bring any money?"
I almost forgot about this, Crimson The princess is not human and has no habit of carrying money.
After losing six hundred gold coins, Annan returned to the carriage and pulled the reins back to the warehouse.
The car behind was always quiet, so Annan had to ask Princess Scarlet if she was okay.
“I didn’t even know you and Ruth had such a relationship, and you lied to me that she was Evelyn.” Slight sobs sounded with sadness.
"What's the relationship?" Annan held the reins and let the pedestrians in front pass first, realizing what the Scarlet Princess said: "I want to correct you, Your Highness, that is just a magic image, not real. "
"It's not true...?"
"You've read so many romance novels, aren't they all true?"
The Crimson Princess ignored Annan's comment that when she read romance novels, all she could think about was "not true."
Annan suddenly realized. No wonder the majestic Crimson Princess's eyes were swollen from crying - she regarded "The Fall of the Mage Tower" as her own personal experience.
"If you still can't accept it," let's go to another theater? There was another magical video that I acted in, "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" being screened. "
"Okay. "
After a while, Princess Crimson's voice and an outstretched hand came from the carriage: "Lend me some money." ”
"Me neither." Annan said without thinking.
Annan knew what she was going to do, buy the magic stone - if he borrowed the money, wouldn't he be spending his own money to buy his own magic stone?
"I will pay you back!"
Annan thinks that if you don't pay it back, I won't be able to ask you for it...
No one can borrow money from Annan, no one can Neither can.
They came to the first theater they acquired and took her to watch "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" again.
I was forced to follow the Scarlet Princess for an active night. When I came out of the theater, it was almost dawn.
Annan sent Princess Crimson back to the warehouse. She shut herself in the attic with the windows blocked and slept while Annan continued his investigation of the housekeeper.
He asked the city guards to quietly investigate the traces of the housekeeper who had not returned all night. As a result, an unexpected news came: the housekeeper was missing.
"Missing?"
"This is a safe statement. I would rather say that he is dead." The knight commander said.
"Have you found the body?"
"Just because his body was not found, it means he is dead..." The knight commander said confidently that the city guard wanted to find it in Huadu. A person can never be found. And since no one saw him leaving the city...it meant he was dead.
The clue that just caught the housekeeper was cut off.
Annan couldn't understand. There can't be anyone secretly trying to harm the Crimson Princess, but there are also people secretly protecting her, right?
"Then let's do this for now...I'll tell the princess." Annan sighed, unable to continue investigating who was behind the butler.
He left the station, got on the carriage, took out the magic mirror and asked: "Mirror, magic mirror, who is behind the butler?"
"Earl Turner."
“Ah…”
You actually got the answer just like that?
