The church in the early morning was silent and solemn, without the strangeness and horror of last night.

Annan never knew whether it was the Lord of the Dawn or the Church of the God of Order, and continued to set out for the third wall above Hearsi.

He was getting closer and closer to the highest level of the wall, and when the sky was about to completely brighten, the first morning light fell on the top of the palace. The hazy white façade is painted a brilliant red, like the sun rising in the royal city.

Annan continued to move forward, and when the entire royal city was completely covered in sunlight, the last wall appeared in front of him.

It took him three days to finally arrive at the royal city of Hearsi.

He looked back at the city gates, the inner and outer cities that had not yet been touched by the sun were still asleep, and the distant lakes and the gray earth outside had no life.

Annan let the charred girl appear, followed her, and entered the open gates.

The Intramuros are different from the Inner City...... Without the houses and shops, the royal city would have been like a vast academy, full of old buildings and minarets.

Towering minarets plunge straight into the clouds, shining in the dawn. A wide road with eight carriages side by side leads to the palace at the top.

The morning sun sprinkled on his body, but Annan didn't feel much temperature, and the spires of the royal city stood like silent giants.

Occasionally, a malice that Annan could clearly perceive would emerge from among the giants, and then be retracted by the scorched Maiden and the leaves of the World Tree.

Towards noon, Annan finally saw the palace of the royal city—the entrance and exit above the steps were blocked by stones, wood, and poor decoration.

"Anyone?"

Stepping up the steps, Annan came to the rudimentary wall of debris.

No response.

When Annan was about to try to break these things, a trembling shout finally came from the palace: "Who's outside!" ”

"I'm Annan Reeves, from Middle-earth, Lord of Free City."

Hiding in the palace is either a prince or a nobleman, and it is a good opportunity to earn fame.

After a while, the trembling shout sounded again: "How can you prove that what you say is true!" ”

"When I came, I passed by Huadu, met Fatima Sailor and Alison Solow, and dealt with the nine major wine merchants, do any of you know each other?"

A faint female voice sounded from behind the wall of debris: "Open the door, he knows Fatima!" ”

"How do you know it's not weird and it's lying to us......"

"I don't care, I don't want to stay here anymore......"

The clutter wall began to loosen, and then an unfamiliar shout came from within: "Please let us get out of the way first!" ”

Annan took a few steps back and said to the scorched girl, "I'm going to see the princess, don't come out yet." ”

Then take her body into her arms, so as not to be regarded as a weird by the princess.

The wall of debris, which had been removed, collapsed to reveal a gap, and Annan saw several down-and-out nobles holding weapons belonging to the guards, as well as a crossbow.

It's hard to imagine a group of nobles making themselves so miserable...... But it's normal. They can't cast spells, they're weird, and no matter how powerful and rich they are, it's useless.

The nobles also stayed there because of Annam's youth and appearance.

"You...... Is it just you? The middle-aged nobleman with messy blond curls and a fat figure asked. His gold-trimmed garment suggests that he must have been a great man.

"No matter how many people there are, it's just a drag."

Annan imitates the nobility of the crimson princess. It worked, and they all thought that Annan was a big man, and greeted him excitedly and politely

"Yes, that's right...... Are you here to save us? ”

"Sort of, is the princess okay?"

When the words fell, the nobles looked embarrassed.

The male nobleman said, "Please come in first...... There are strange wandering outside the royal city even during the day. ”

Annan followed them into the front hall, and then the others began to fill the wall of debris with great skill.

"You can come in from the outside, you must be a powerful being."

Annan wanted to say that they were just using the wrong method, but even if they did, without the leaves of the World Tree, without weirdness and charm, it might not have this effect.

Following them to the front hall, there were dozens of figures sitting in the huge lounge, and they looked equally embarrassed, many of them wearing mage robes.

"These are the only ones left in the entire royal city?"

The fat aristocrat said that there were many more in the past. There was no shortage of powerful guards and warriors, but they ventured out to keep in touch with the outside world, but they couldn't come back. They were left hiding in the front hall.

Annan looked around at the nobles who had stood up and gathered excitedly, none of these people had the same gray hair and appearance as the fake princess of Huadu.

"Can you tell me what happened to the princess?"

"The evil princess caused all this to happen!" A nobleman's pathetic speech.

"What?"

In the gossip of the survivors, Annan pieced together the truth of the matter.

In their story, the princess is a paranoid, arrogant, and arrogant woman who is the author of all the disasters. She was overconfident, and when the Weird appeared in front of the rift, she thought she could use the Weird Impact Seal to make the gods respond to the world. But she failed, the gods didn't respond, and the weirdness poured into Hearsa from the rift.

The princess wanted to escape, but was suppressed by the mages of the royal city and sent to the chasm to be sealed...... But she refused to do so, preferring to abandon the power - the brilliant light that erupted at midnight was the power that sealed the monstrous.

"No, it's not the fault of the princess......"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Annan remembered that it was the female voice who knew Fatima Saylor.

She looked a little like Fatima Sailer, but like a ripe fruit.

An old nobleman questioned her, "What are you talking about, Alyssa!" ”

"I watched her grow up, and she was just affected by the weirdness of her will, and I don't blame her......" Alyssa said sadly.

Since the princess is the initiator, how to complete Skeletron's mission?

"My lord, as long as you kill the princess, the weird will not be able to enter our world again." A mage said to Annan.

"Kill her!"

His words were echoed by others.

"Just to free her......" Alyssa was still grieving.

Annan looked at them quietly: "Then why haven't you done it yet?" ”

"We can't do it...... Magic doesn't work here. The mage said. He is an archmage and is only one step away from an epic.

"Me too."

"But you can get here."

"Brave and brave, you will definitely save Persona......" Alyssa suddenly grabbed Annan's hand and pressed it lightly on her chest. Save...... I. ”

"Who are you from Fatima Saylor?"

It is already difficult for such a noble lady to make Annan's mood fluctuate.

"She should call me Auntie."

Annan looked around at the desperate nobles: "The princess is still in control of Hearsa City, how can you kill her?" ”

Nobles, you look at me, I look at you, or the archmage took an apple out of the magic ring.

"Give this to the princess to eat, and you will be able to avert this disaster."
