Before the man could speak, the little girl said to herself, "I'm Nia...... I have 70 copper coins, 45 copper coins for my mother, 5 copper coins for Little Jack, 5 copper coins for Hamm, 5 copper coins for my grandmother, 5 copper coins for Aunt Farin, 5 copper coins for Aunt Rama, and 5 copper coins for Uncle Rudo. ”

"My Anne to Little Linna, you have to tell her to take care of Anne, and my clothes to the other children."

"Your mom and grandma and Aunt Rama are dead." The man said.

"That'...... I'm Nia, and I have 70 copper coins, 15 copper coins for Little Jack, 15 copper coins for Hamm, 15 copper coins for Aunt Farin, and 15 copper coins for Uncle Rudo" The little girl distributed again.

"What about you?" The man asked.

"I don't want to go...... the little girl jumped, "I love it here." ”

Her shoes had worn out on the road ahead, and the shoe covers that hung from her ankles covered the soles of the little girl's feet, which had been rubbed by the gravel road.

The moss of the tundra was fluffy and sparse, and the little girl had a good dream that day for the first time in a long time...... The next day, she saw that many people did not get up again. The little girl also wants to sleep here forever, just like them.

It seems that it is the innocence of the little girl that touches the hearts of men. "I'm carrying you on my back." The man said, throwing her on his back as if he were carrying a bundle of firewood.

The little girl put her arms around the man's neck as if her father were still alive.

"What about my will?"

"You're going to die before me."

The man continued on his way, and the little girl holding the rag doll put her arms around him. Two lost souls find shelter in each other.

……

The tragedy of the Astra Tundra brought back to Liberty City, stirring up the anger of the people.

What is really unacceptable to them is that the Mad Dog Grand Duke throws the blame on Liberty City - he claims that Annan, who has encroached on Jewel Bay, is the culprit.

Many of the principality's nobles supported the Mad Dog Grand Duke and sent private soldiers to follow the team.

"Because the mad dog archduke has a louder voice than we do." Olmedo, who was sitting in the living room sipping local coffee, said, "But it doesn't matter, their voices can't reach the Tatoon Empire." ”

The only good news these days is that Olmedo has come to Liberty City to help.

Compared to Editria, who is good at finance, and Ingrid, who is good at internal affairs, Ormedo knows how to run a city.

The Tatooun Empire is Annam's stronghold – and the recognized heir to the duchy is in Liberty City. When Giraldi gets everything back, he will liquidate the nobles who are on the wrong side...... Or maybe not.

But no matter how politically ...... As a result, the civilians who were driven by the Mad Dog Grand Duke left hundreds of corpses along the way every day......

Then, Itilia began to find out that Annan had "disappeared" these days. He dragged Evelyn, Tina, and a group of residents into Liberty City, unaware of what to do.

In the evening of that day, Annan quietly came to the crystal lair with the philosopher's stone: "Elimoas, I need you to go out with me......"

Itilia and the others knew that Annan and the Blue Dragon had run out an hour later. Abby saw that the light in Annan's bedroom was still on, pushed the door in, and found that Annan was gone.

They called Evelyn, who pretended to be cowardly, and said that he was going to plant a seed for the commoners who had been forced by the Mad Dog Duke......

"Why didn't Annan tell us, for fear that we would not agree?"

"Hmmm......"

"Huh?"

Etilia's gentle voice frightened Evelyn to shrink her neck, "I mean...... He's afraid you're worried! ”

"What seed did he say?"

"It's ...... Magical Image"

Ingrid knew this, and Annan used this trick against Glacier Harbor in the first place. But this time it's a little different. Annan deliberately made a magical video.

"Do you still have the Philosopher's Stone there?"

"Uh-huh!"

Evelyn ran to fetch the Philosopher's Stone and gave it to the crowd gathered in the hall.

……

"Beautiful Liberty City, your new home!"

In the north of the tundra, the crisp sound that suddenly reverberated made the numb civilians gathered in this land, ready to rest, raise their heads.

"There—"

The little girl lying on the man's back pointed to the sky.

He and more civilians looked up at a silhouette that appeared in the sky.

It was a boy in a mage's robe. His hair was as thick, supple and shiny as the night, and the light swing was like a poetic dance. The bridge of his nose was straight, perfectly supporting his black eyes. It is like a deep night sky, full of mystery and shining like stars.

His cheeks were graceful and beautiful like elves, and his smile was like the first rays of sunlight piercing the clouds, warm and illuminating his heart

"Are you still grieving about the lack of clothing, food, and shelter? Your hope has arisen. ”

The black-haired boy opened his lips, and his soft and clear voice flowed like a poem, smooth and rhythmic: "I am Annan, the lord of Liberty City, the 'enemy' in front of you. ”

The people of the earth didn't even have the strength to speak, but just raised their heads numbly.

"I know what the Mad Dog Grand Duke has done to you...... It's infuriating. He's a bastard more chaotic than a nezumi or a demon...... I figured I should do something. ”

"For you."

The rhythm and intonation of the lord's speech were full of emotion and warmth, and his figure disappeared into the sky, replaced by a neat and delicate house and the inhabitants standing in front of it.

They were dressed cleanly, and they were not emaciated or malnourished.

"I was a refugee." A young man with a smile on his face said.

"I was rescued from my cage by Lord Annan." An old man said calmly.

"I ...... I'm from the bottom nest and I thought I'd never see the sun again......" said a middle-aged man fearfully.

"I'm overwhelmed by the Watchman's taxes." A young man said happily.

"My brother and I used to be beggars and refugees, sleeping in kennels." A little boy said in a milky voice.

"I will never forget the scene when the brave soldiers rescued me and my daughter from the rat tide." The woman with red eyes said.

At this time, the picture shows their former appearance: driven away by the villains, locked in a cage, in the underground, snuggled up in the kennel for warmth, and watching the gods descend from the sky in the rat tide.

The young man with a smile patted his chest: "Now I am the captain of the construction department. ”

The old man easily lifted his shoes with rain boots: "I followed old Zoren to act." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated, "I—I'm just a lumberjack...... But I was able to eat enough every day! ”

The young man laughed and said, "Me too, but I do a lot of work, and I can save a silver coin in a day." ”

The little boy thought seriously: "I don't know anything, I'm still in school...... But my brother is a soldier captain! ”

The woman said gently, "I work in a textile mill and my daughter goes to school. ”
