Section 54. Out of the city

Is Annan the leader of the Weirdos and a former cellmate...... He was the warden, and the weirdos didn't mind.

The six monsters left behind are: a slug, a candle head, a sketchpad man, a slender dancing shadow, an anthropomorphic, and an invisible man wearing a wide-brimmed hat of the main body.

They followed Annan out of the city, the fat nobleman in the group out of place, but he felt more secure than ever.

It's like going back to being tucked up by my mother when I was a kid when I went to bed at night.

The fat aristocrat leaned next to Annan, pointed to the intersection in front of him and said, "The storage point is in front and ...... to the right."

"Let's put it there first, we don't have much time to waste."

The seal of the princess is gone, and it seems that only the last one remains. But the princess's emotions made Annan feel like she was ...... Farewell.

After Annan became an elite, this talent for capturing subtle emotions never went wrong, and the princess must have something to hide from him.

The fat nobleman didn't know this, so he lowered his voice and asked, "These strange ...... Guy, where did you get that? ”

"It's not me, it's Valencia......"

"The Bishop is still alive?!"

"It's dead, I just handed over his body to the princess......"

In the face of Valencia's death, Annan could not feel grief, but regretted...... This may be due to the fact that he was only in contact with the lost Archbishop of Valencia on the 17th of January.

The fat nobleman took the opportunity to ask, "Are you really going to kill the princess?" ”

"Isn't that what you want to do?" Annan asked deliberately.

"I don't want to!" The fat nobleman's voice was a little louder, and he hurriedly lowered his voice, "They say so, I can only echo ......"

"So you don't want to do that?"

"Of course! The princess is the hero of Persona, how can we do such a thing! ”

"What if you don't come out with me?"

"Hey......

The fat aristocracy was just laughing.

He was a smart man, and it seemed that Annan did not want to kill the princess.

It took three days for Annan to ascend from the outer city to the royal city, and it only took one day to return to the outer city with a group of strange monsters.

The streets of the outer city are more desolate and dilapidated than the previous days, they have lost their oppression, there are more and more weirdness, there are fewer and fewer human beings, even the gold diggers are not willing to take any more risks, and the only remaining gold diggers are as timid as rats, and they flee when they see the monsters of Annan.

Annan followed them out of the city, and the gold diggers screamed "The weirdos are out" and ran across the lake.

Ignoring the group of gold diggers, Annan focused on Swan Lake on both sides of the road.

The lake is secluded and deep, and there is no wave in the dead evening...... No one wants to swim in this lake, even if it's not weird.

But Annan actually saw a figure fluttering by the lake, and the splash of water caused ripples.

"Is it weird?"

Annan was not sure, and then he saw a new ripple creeping towards the figure of the person who was clapping in the water, merging into the ripple that he was churning.

Whoop -

The same thick shadow tentacles as in the tower burst out of the water, and the tentacles were wrapped around the figures who were still screaming.

"Help first!"

The scorched girl moved the fastest, and when the candle heads were in a daze, she turned into a shadow, dissolving the tentacles of the shadows.

The slug turns into a big slug and jumps into the lake to rescue the figure.

The escape of the food in the mouth made the existence of the lake let out a low, angry roar that shook the surface of the lake. Annan had the members of the Weird Prison stand in a row - they might not be very strong, but they seemed to scare off a lot of weirdness.

Including the water monsters in the lake.

"He fainted." The candle head and the slender dancing shadow circled the young figure.

This is a young man who looks a few years older than Annan.

"Lord Annan, he's pretending to be dizzy." The fat nobleman was so convincing that he kicked him.

"Try throwing him in the lake."

Annan's voice fell, and the young man got up neatly, knelt on the ground, and pressed his forehead against the wet ground: "I can drive strange adults, I am your most humble slave......"

"I don't need a slave to tell me who you are and why you're here."

The young man's name is Pumi, a name that people who shout 'Pumi' on the streets of the south will look back at the whole street, and it is not an exaggeration at all, even if they don't call Pumi, they know the person who is called Pumi.

He's a ranger, but not a professional – rangers and bards are known to be the easiest to impersonate by non-professionals. He's here because he's a gold digger, but he's been in Persona for days and hasn't found anything of value - his luck has been spent keeping him alive.

Boumi recently heard that there is a new weirdness in Swan Lake, which will reflect the things that people crave the most...... Money, woman. The poor and crazy Pumi wants to rob the weird...... When you see a strange thing appear, you grab it and run.

"You see it?"

"Nope."

"And how did you end up overboard?"

"I wanted to lure it out by the lake, but I didn't stand ......"

Annan went on to ask, "How much else do you know about Swan Lake?" ”

Pumi shook his head and shook off a water stain: "But I know who knows, Old Dahl is the one who knows this lake best!" ”

"Who's Old Dahl?"

"He's also a gold digger, I know where he is, ...... I'll take you?" Pumi blinked.

"Not right now, I have other things to do."

Pumi told Annan where their gold prospectors were gathering, and then asked:

"Are you going out of town?"

"Hmm."

"Then you have to hurry, the tentacles that grabbed me are everywhere, and they love to hold grudges the most."

Whoa-whoa-whoa

At this moment, there was an eerie tide on the surface of the lake that lapped on the shore of the lake.

Annan looked at the lake that was gradually becoming uncalm.

"Remember to talk about it later."

They hastened to their way, and the waves on the lake showed unusual ripples that followed them.

The night is getting darker, and the sunset is falling less and less on the horizon. They seem to be preparing to attack when it gets dark......

When he was completely caught in the night, Annan, who was chased by the waves, was relieved...... Not only did he see the land in front of him, but Skeletron also appeared on the shore of the lake.

It raised its staff, and the surging magic condensed in the air, turning into sharp rocks that smashed into the boiling lake like a raging storm.

"You're free."

Annan let go of the stunned Pumi.

He swallowed his saliva, and like a rabbit, he nimbly disappeared into the depths of the withered woods.

Skeletron stopped casting spells and left the murky lake.

"They ......"

The soul fire in his eyes fell on the weirdos who followed Annan...... And the funny thing is that they look like quails stuck together.

"My new subordinate." Annan patted the candle heads on the shoulder to tell them not to be nervous, "They are all human, and they became weird but not so bad after being killed...... Their business doesn't matter, I need your help. ”

"It's getting dark, let's go back first." Skeletron said.

It's ready to hear an interesting story.
