Chapter 726 123. Before entering the mountains

Francois returned to Liberty City with good news: they lit up another area on the southern map.

Annan returned to the rancid swamp. Thinking of the stench there, he couldn't help but resist, but the little spider and the silly cat were still in the goblin village...

He had no choice but to get into the stinking swamp that was as hot as a furnace, summon Jack and Dorai to the big house, and get there as soon as possible Deal with the goblin golem thing.

"Lord Annan, leave this to me." Dorai, who was not taller than the table, volunteered.

"Are you confident?"

"I am also a goblin, and I understand the weaknesses of goblins..."

No matter the harsh environment of the swamp or the destination of Annan's trip, there is no way to stay here. Too long.

"Okay, Jack, please cooperate with Dole." Annan asked, lest Jack despise Dole because he is a goblin, and reminded Dole: "The sooner you return to Liberty City, the sooner you will be reinstated."

The old glory of the goblin empire made Annan see the potential of goblins, and as the smartest goblin he has encountered so far, maybe Dorai can regain the glory of goblins.

Dorai is grateful for Annan's trust in it.

It is already night, but Annan has no intention of staying one night before leaving. Staying here for one more minute will be torture... No wonder the Roxi Province is unwilling to set foot in the rancid swamp. I'm afraid there are only goblins and kobolds. This creature can survive in fetid swamps for long periods of time.

Escaped from the putrid swamp as if on the run, Annan, Lemon, and Klein hurried on a bright full moon night, and camped in an open space when dark clouds filled the air in the distance.

......

The continuous drizzle hits the treetops, the bushes on the roadside, and the soil.

The morning air carries the aroma of earth, but no matter what the weather is, it will always lose its freshness after five or six days.

Leaving the town is a muddy country road that is difficult to walk. The caravans passing by have deep ruts. They say that this is nothing. In the real rainy season, epics and legends are even needed to drive away the storm. .

It seems that the south needs cement more.

Fortunately, the Wan horses provided by Huadu had the blood of griffons. Apart from some bumps, their speed did not slow down much, and they were not far from Tate City.

"Robbery! Hand over your money!" A dozen robbers blocked the road ahead.

"Robbery?"

Annan poked his head out of the carriage. The highway robbers saw him and changed their words: "People can do it too!"

A few minutes later, Lemon and Klein teamed up to solve the group of robbers.

Annan stepped in front of them on wet mud mixed with blood: "Do you have anything valuable?"

"You damn aristocratic prostitute! The one who was being ridden——"

Klein swung his sword sideways, and the yelling bandit was knocked over several times by the sword and fainted.

The leather armor of this group of bandits is tattered, and their weapons are rusty. After a dozen bandits searched, they only had about twenty silver coins. After tying them to a tree, Annan continued to set off, and soon encountered another group of bandits.

As they approached Tate City, they encountered more and more attacks... The bandits didn't know how difficult Annan was to provoke with Lemon and Klein. They only knew that there was only one carriage and two Guard.

Annan had to borrow some more knights to expand his team, and he did not encounter any more indifferent bandits on the rest of the journey.

On a long-lost sunny day, Annan saw Tate City in front of him and the steep peaks looming on the horizon in the distance.

The distance between Tate City and the Sirens Mountains is much closer than that between Breeze City and the Northern Snow Mountains, so unrest in the mountains is more likely to affect the outside world.

For example, when Annan arrived, there were many more convoys leaving the city than entering the city, and the chaos was even more obvious after entering Tate City.

Some of them were brought from the south, and some were brought by the orcs. Even though Tate City went through some screening and only allowed orc mercenaries to enter the city, the thousands of orcs swarming in still posed severe challenges to public security.

But the orcs knew what they could and could not provoke, and they cleverly avoided Annan's convoy.

The street was full of the smell of spices, but it was not real spices...

Annan saw an old orc selling scones on the roadside: he handed the dusty dough to the orc in front of him. Guests, whoever has the cake will hold it under their armpits, and then spread it on the hot pan. Soon, a fragrant spice-flavored scone will be freshly baked.

The price is affordable, no need to sprinkle salt, the orcs produce and sell it themselves.

The motorcade, which kept passersby away, came to the theater. The soldiers on guard recognized them and called to the theater owner.

They were surprised how Lord Annan could come to such a place. Vampires and ratmen were fighting in the Serens Mountains, and Tate City would be ignited by the flames of war at any time. They all thought that if the situation was more serious, they would go with him. Lord Olmedo said to evacuate Tate City for the time being.

"I'm going to enter the Serens Mountains. Please help me ask the locals for a relatively safe road." Annan handed the theater owner a map with the destination of the trip.

"At this time?"

"I have a reason to go." Annan lowered his head and looked at the little spider in the glass bottle,

The theater owner went with a grimace. To do things, Annan went back to the lounge first, leaving Little Spider and Silly Cat here, and got into the theater.

Peering in secretly from outside the door, just like the rumors, there are at least a dozen orcs sitting in the theater...

Annan deliberately appeared in front of them after the screening, but not many orcs knew him - they liked "Freedom Knocks" the most, and Annan did not star in this magical film.

On the contrary, he recognized Annan and praised him in clumsy common language. He also hoped to meet Freeman and Chris and his son...

Annan did not have much contact with the orcs in the city. , has nothing to do with aesthetics...at least it doesn't have much to do with it.

Because he is no longer needed.

"Freedom Knocks on the Door" will plant a seed in the hearts of the orcs. As for that seed, whether "Free City will become my home" or "Free City will be stepped on by me" I don’t know...

But it can be expected that a lot of orcs named Freeman, Chris and Christopher will appear around the Serens Mountains.

In the evening, the theater owner came back with a map of the route and asked Annan: "Are you going to see the Lord of Tate City?"

"The Lord of Tate City...Blay Is it good?" Annan remembered that the Lord of Huadu brought it over at the banquet. "No, I will leave tomorrow."

Annan will stay in the theater lounge tonight.

Late at night, when Annan was meditating, the silly cat jumped on the table. "When are you going to tell him the truth?" He asked the Spider Queen.

Four eyes lit up in the spiderweb-woven nest: "What truth?"

"Your true identity and purpose."

"You don't understand humans... I just need to give him enough "

"But I understand Annan." "He went south for you and went into the abyss. He will be angry when he knows you are cheating."

"You seem to have forgotten. "The Spider Queen stared at the cat and the midnight girl with a look of indifference, "We are gods"

"So what about the gods..." Shamao rarely became sentimental.

His divine fire is ignited by faith. When faith disappears, God will also return to mortals...
