Section 24
When Annan burrowed into the bedroom, Lily leaned back on the bed, stretching her hind legs, which looked like chicken legs, to clean her hair. It looked up and saw Annan limping slightly.
"You're learning how to walk with a cat!"
Lily jumped out of bed and tried to pounce on her, but thinking about the reason for being abandoned, her movements became slower and slower.
Annan waited for Lily to pounce into her arms and found it stop: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Lily took a few steps back: "The cat is afraid of being thrown away by you." ”
Annan, holding Lily's armpit in his arms, said softly: "No, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Can the cat play with you?"
"Of course."
Lily lifted her fluffy cat's paw and patted Annan on the cheek.
Annan thinks that Lily is not only able to speak, but also smarter than many cats, almost like a white dragon.
Annan was playing with Lily in the bedroom when footsteps rang out from the living room.
Martin, with his messy brown hair on top of a chicken coop, stood in front of the door: "Cousin, I'm hungry." ”
Looking at Lily, whose cat's eye team can do a lot for Annan, and looking at Martin, who is useless and only knows how to eat, Annan made a decision: "I'm going to the imperial capital tomorrow, and I'll send you back in a while!" ”
"Don't do it, cousin!"
But Annan, who has Lily, no longer needs Martin's company.
"We will only pour our love on one person...... "Martin lamented the dejected soul.
Annan frowned: "Where did you hear that?" ”
"On the book."
"What book?"
"It's the books that make us cry and make us laugh."
Annan was not worried about Martin's mouth and reminded him: "Remember, if you dare to tell others about last night, I will dare to let Aunt Susan beat you eight times a day." ”
Martin's lips twitched: "Aren't we brothers?" ”
"Of course." Annan put Lily down, smiled and walked to the door and hugged Martin, then whispered coldly on the side of his face, "Before you tell you about last night." ”
Letting go of Martin, he looked silly: "Last night? Didn't we eat apple pie all the time last night? ”
"That's right, I'll buy you some delicious food for you to take home later."
Annan carried Lily to the adjacent restaurant and asked Martin to eat whatever he wanted.
Annan did not prepare gifts for relatives and friends in the town. There was still a month left before the first day of the first millennium of the Saint Laurent calendar, and tomorrow he was leaving for the imperial capital, where he could pick a better one.
Holding Martin to the point where he couldn't bend over, Annan led him to the beach, rented a boat and went out to sea like last time, and opened the portal after leaving Sertovis.
Annan saw Lela, and was puzzled that the second sister ran away when she saw him.
There was no time to wonder about Layla's reaction, and Annan stared at the reluctant Martin as she climbed into the portal, and then Rela went and returned, holding the fishing rod.
"Regardless of you, I know you're not here to pick me up, let me fish!"
Annan didn't stop Lela from fishing, and told Martin to call out to Olmedo and the nobles.
After a while, a group of nobles gathered outside the portal, and these nobles who had been relocated and divided and remained with Olmedo were trustworthy, but they seemed to be a little sluggish because they had been staying in the town.
"I'm going to go to the imperial capital next, do you know any relatives and friends there? I can drop by and deliver letters. ”
The aristocrats gossiped. They say theirs, and Leila fishes her own.
For the Tatooan Empire, they are all hillbillies in the countryside, and even if they have relatives and friends, it was hundreds of years ago.
"Chirp O'Brien! My ancestors knew Jiu O'Brien. A tall and thin nobleman said suddenly.
"Is that a griffin or an owl?" Annan thought it was an owl because of his big eyes.
"Jiu Jiu O'Brien is a great elven sorcerer, and my ancestors said she went to the imperial capital of Tatun two hundred years ago."
An elf? Annan was still hopeless about her, but he wrote down the name.
Annan didn't close the portal, let Leila continue fishing, picked up the oars and returned to the beach.
The fisherman looked at the two of them and one cat when Annan went out to sea, and when he came back, there was only one man and one cat left, and hesitated to inform the guards.
Annan worries about whether Lily can get through the portal, and the good news is that it can, and the bad news is that it can - Lily is really just an ordinary flower cat.
Of course, Annan will not lose any love for Lily because of this.
On a new day, Annan came to the academy with Lily in his arms. He arrived a little early, and the students hadn't arrived yet.
Annan saw Xena with a girl. They were somewhat similar, except that the girl was taller than Xanna and her expression was much colder.
She was also observing Annan. There is no kindness and no malice, which is better than her mother in this regard.
Annan thought that the mother and daughter of the Waters family were all different, Xianna liked herself, Ai Xue didn't feel it, and her mother hated herself.
Alice touched Lily, but all she could hear was a cat meow.
Ten minutes later, the last contestant arrived.
Dean Blahem leads them to the director's chambers, where they open the portal. The blurred vision gradually became clear, and a magnificent city-state built on a mountain appeared on the other side of the portal.
"I await your good news."
Deputy Boris stepped in first, followed by Annan's teammates. They passed a little fast, as if they were afraid that the portal would suddenly close and cut them in two.
The portal closed behind him, and Annan looked up at the city-state deep into the clouds.
If Xingyue Bay is like a small fishing village in front of the royal capital of Rikaner, then the king of Rikaner is a big fishing village in front of the imperial capital of Tatunn...... Even the palace garden around the mountain, which once shook Annam, looks like a clumsy imitation in front of the real palace garden.
The imperial capital is too big...... It is built on a high mountain that rises from the ground, and the highest palace garden is hidden in the clouds, occasionally revealing a miraculous ring, like a real heaven on earth.
Annan originally thought that the kingdom of Rikanr was similar to the Tatunn Empire...... After all, Sertovis doesn't have a mage tower.
Xenna's sister wants to visit the elders first. Vice President Boris agreed, and there were still two days left before the registration time of the Ministry of Etiquette. They rented a carriage, and the excited contestants prepared to go to the imperial capital, but after Ai Xue finished saying the address, the carriage drove away from the imperial capital.
"They think the imperial capital is too noisy." Ai Xue explained.
Annan leaned closer, panicking what would happen next.
"Xena."
"What?"
"Did the vampires drain your blood when you were taken by them?"
"Hmmm......"
Annan had to conspire to think that the vampires were collecting Montreal's blood...... What exactly are they going to do?
Fortunately, Annan was not a subject of the Tatunn Empire, so he would run to Wilhelm or the south, or ...... Starting from Nova Star-Moon Bay to Floating City?
In any case, Nova Moon Bay is better off staying away from the Tatunn Empire, and preferably not within the territory.
