Chapter 862 93. Granary
Annan looked around and saw a woman in a black cloak wearing a feather mask, blocked by lemons not far away.
"How dare you come alone, you are bolder than I thought." The purple eyes behind the mask were full of scrutiny and a hint of satisfaction.
"Did you leave the bloody words behind?"
"Hmm." The woman in the black cloak raised her chin slightly.
"How did you find me?"
"This is another thing I want to say. You are stupider than I thought...cute. You actually came here without any disguise."
Annan looked down at his robe in surprise: "I thought I was well disguised!"
"That's just a piece of cloth, my city lord. In the eyes of some people, it's almost the same as not wearing anything."
Annan suddenly stood uneasy.
"Don't worry, you can't see through the mage's robe."
Annan breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ilimoyas aside.
"The clothes on this Miss Blue Dragon are not real clothes. Even if you see through them, they are just her true form." The woman in the black cloak seemed to know what Annan was thinking.
"So she's not wearing any clothes?!"
"Uh..." the woman in the black cloak began to wonder if she had chosen the wrong person, "An... City Lord, I came to you for some reason. Very important thing.”
"Would you like to talk in another place?" Annan looked at the crowded streets.
……
Evening Breeze Tavern, guest room.
Elimayas walked to the window as soon as she came in. Annan looked at the woman in the black cloak: "Can you reveal your true face now?"
"Is this important?"
Annan lifted his hood: "Is it credible to say important things from a person who hides his head and tail?"
The woman in the black cloak was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, my identity is special and I can't expose myself. But I can tell you that this is related to the entire Kingdom of Dimon, and even the safety of Middle-earth.”
“Let’s talk about it.” Annan was noncommittal.
"I can't say..." The woman in black cloak shook her head.
Annan frowned and was about to say something when she continued: "I need you to be a witness."
"Witness?"
"Yes. I will take you to see the truth. No one believes what I say, but if it is you, those big shots will listen."
"Why is that? Me?”
“You are a good person, a noble who cares about the common people,” the woman in black cloak said seriously.
The reputation Annan worked so hard to build really worked - people as far away as the north knew that he was a different kind of noble.
Maybe one day in the future the magic disappears, and all the nobles are taken out of the castle by angry civilians and hung under the street lamps, Annan will still be fine.
"I still don't know who you are and your identity." Annan's attitude relaxed.
The woman in black cloak hesitated and chose to confess: "I am a member of the Shadow Brotherhood."
"The Shadow Brotherhood... my friend's servant... I should say elder, He just retired from the Brotherhood of Shadows."
"Retired?"
"Isn't that right?"
The woman in black cloak warned: "We are born as members of the Brotherhood, and when we die, we are the undead of the Brotherhood. Only betrayal can separate us from the Brotherhood."
"Okay, then you think I didn't say anything."
"If you are willing to witness."
Annan originally didn't want to get involved in this obvious conspiracy, but Black The cloaked woman's confession of her identity made her more credible - after all, she could have used other reasons and lies to deceive Annan.
Squeak, squeak - "Oh! Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"
At this moment, the bed board shaking and artificial screams suddenly came from the next room.
Who is so interested so early in the morning?
“I don’t know your name yet.” Annan changed his words
"You can call me, Shadow Song."
Annan took out the magic stone from the magic ring: "Lead the way."
Their first stop was the slums of Gucheng. Annan took out another cloak and gave it to Elimoas. Although she doesn't look like an ordinary person, people can easily go to extremes when they lose their minds.
"Did you leave the bloody words in Evelin's newspaper?" Annan asked on the way.
“I don’t know, I just asked my friends to bring the news to you.”
There are people from the Shadow Brotherhood in Liberty City... Annan was not surprised. What surprised him was: "People like you still have friends?"
Before Shadow Song spoke, Annan suddenly said to himself: "You can contact me for the sake of the people. It's normal to have a friend."
Annan and the others followed Shadow Song to the slums where sewage flowed. They passed a building that was obviously a gang station, with blood symbols painted everywhere. In front of the yard where the skeletons are hanging.
Two thugs stood and stared boredly at the poor people coming and going with numb expressions, wandering over the bodies of the women.
But when he saw Annan, especially Lemon, he quickly hid his defiance and lowered his head.
They walked around the yard and came to the back door at the back.
“Give me three minutes.”
Shadow Song turned into a shadow, nimbly climbed over the high wall and disappeared behind the wall.
Annan's eyes fell on the closed door, and he suddenly took a step forward, reaching out to push the door open.
Yingge, who happened to come out of the house, was surprised: "How did you..."
"The door is unlocked."
A killer who is in darkness but has a bright heart, a sense of justice and a bit stupid?
Feeling that Shadow Song was a little embarrassed, he softened and said: "The gangs here really have no professional ethics."
Shadow Song didn't say anything and walked into the house with Annan.
A bloated middle-aged man was tied to a chair. Shadow Song said to him: "Give me the key."
"The key is not in my hand!"
"Whose place is it?"
"Smoker! He took the key away, he is in the casino."
Shadow Ge walked out, and Annan asked: "Are we leaving like this?"
"What we want is the key."
Then Annan followed Shadow Song to the casino also located in the slums, found the smoker, and forced him to hand over the "key"-it was not a key, but a pass.
Then Shadow Song, who got the pass, went to the city hall and used the pass to get a position from an official: grain transportation officer.
Then she rented several carriages and even hired several carriage drivers to go to the granary.
Annan has been following her, and he has seen the Shadow Brotherhood's ability to infiltrate various organizations, but he can no longer understand what Shadow Song is doing.
They took the convoy to the granary in the suburbs: the wheat harvested in the entire Lesio Valley was temporarily stored here.
Shadowsong chose a coachman as their leader, drove them to load the grain, and led Annan and Elimoas to climb a hill overlooking the vast granary.
“Now can you tell me what you brought me here for?”
“The largest granary in the Lesio Valley here, enough food for hundreds of thousands of people is delivered every day. Everywhere in the kingdom." Shadow Song stared at the busy plains where large and small granaries stood,
Ilimoyasi's expression was calm. Obviously "food" does not fall into Ilimoyas's judgment of "valuable things".
Annan suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"You don't mean to say..."
