Section 67
Annan took the princess and walked in the quiet Persona City.
The charred girl and the weird prison members who follow her are the only weird ones left in the city.
The unsettling element of the long empty street has disappeared, and only an empty city remains.
Perhaps over time, it will soon be bustling again......
Annan saw the Gate of the World, which still stood in the square.
Or maybe not.
The World Gate still exists, but the gods and princesses who guard Persona City are gone.
Annan turned his head to look at the soulless princess. She's just an empty shell, just like her feet.
Compared with Annan, who is smeared with a touch of sadness, the strange survivors are the saddest.
"Are we going to starve to death......"
The princess who burned herself completely purified Persona City, leaving only some weirdness that ran out of the surrounding and the Bersa River before,
"Don't worry, you're my subordinates, and I won't let you have anything to do."
The main thing is that the wise Skeletron Leonefa is still there, and he also has a small wooden box to summon merchants.
"I knew the Warden was the most reliable!" The anthropomorphic flattered him, "And what was promised will be done!" β
It was quicker to get out of the city than to enter it, and after passing through the gates to the outer city, Annan saw the light of magic flashing over the camp of the distant southern kingdoms.
As the strange aura wears off, magic is gradually filling the vacant Persona City.
Several more squads came out of the camp and headed into the city to begin exploring.
Annan took out the gray robe from the magic ring and draped it over the princess, and sent candle heads to bring back the contents of the basement of the Sphinx family manor and the material storage point of the Order Church.
Without the weirdness, the gold diggers are probably going crazy at the end.
Two hours later, they caught up with Annam, who was about to leave the city, and then they met the Southern Nation and Gold Diggers on the Swan Lake Trail.
The former knew that Annan was a big man when he entered the camp that day, and kept his respect. The latter knew that Annan was a ruthless character who manipulated weirdly and kept his distance.
On the way, Annan saw some young shoots emerging from the dirt on the shore of the lake. It won't be long before the ecology around Persona City recovers.
Back in front of the tomb, Skeletron who greeted them looked at the princess, his eyes burning with soul fire showing a hint of remembrance.
"You know her?" Annan asked curiously.
"It should be said that I know her ancestors......"
Annan had a glimmer of hope: "Do you think the princess can come back?" β
"You already know the answer......"
The two princesses who split their souls ended up sacrificing themselves for Hearsi......
"What are you going to do?" Skeletron asked.
"I want to take her first...... But please hide it for me for a while, and don't let Princess Crimson know. β
"Okay."
Skeletron begins to pack his things, and Annan goes to the depths of the tomb to open the portal.
Klein said that everything was normal, and asked about the change just now: "Is that pillar of light related to you?" β
"Can you see?"
"The whole flower saw the pillar of light, and the congregants were still praying in the streets."
The princess's purification of Hearsay City is not small.
Annan was about to tell the whole story, but remembering that it would be too troublesome to explain them one by one, he opened the portal to Liberty City again, and told Ormedo and Itilia at the same time.
From accepting commissions from Skeletrons and merchants to enter Persona, to collecting humanity for the princesses, to accepting commissions from the Archbishop of Valencia.
"He put me on January 17th and played him to make Lily have a fun day......"
"Are you calling a cat?"
Lily suddenly leapt out of the portal and grabbed Annan's mage robe and rubbed into his arms.
Annan hugged Lily, scratched its upturned head and continued, "I was thinking, January 17, 998...... Isn't that Augusta still there? β
"Annan ......"
"My bad...... Then I easily completed the commission with detailed planning and clever response...... Give the Archbishop of Valencia the body to the royal daughter. β
"Why are there so many girls?" Olmedo spoke suddenly.
"What do you mean by that?" Annan dissatisfied.
"I just think there are too many girls around you." Olmedo said, but apparently in retaliation for Annan for mentioning her father.
Annan shouted angrily outside the tomb, "Mr. Leonifa! Some say you're a girl! β
Skeletron was summoned by Annan, and the Olmedo and the others paid homage to himβthough they had never heard of Leonefer's name in Middle-earth.
At the end of the story, Annan let them see the princess again, and her miserable appearance made Ormedo and Itilia feel distressed.
"You should send her back."
"That's what I thought too."
Annan asked the princess to cross the portal to Frety City to recuperate, but the princess resisted for the first time after following Annan and was unwilling to leave him.
Skeletron said that the soulless princess's body was only instinctual, and the first thing she saw was Annan, so she would rely on Annan in the same way that a newborn animal depends on its mother.
"Then let her follow me first......"
At this time, there was some movement outside the tomb, and Skeletron went to see what was going on. The portal was about to disappear, and Annan handed Lily to Olmedo.
"The cat wants to follow Annan." Lily's cat's claws hooked Annan's cuffs.
"Not yet, I'm going to follow Skeletron......"
"Cats are not dogs, they don't eat bone meows."
"I mean, it's undead, and it's going to make you unhealthy."
"What are the undead? What is unhealthy? β
"It's going to make you sick."
Olmedo took Lily and held her in her arms.
"When are you coming back?" Itilia asked, "The north hasn't been safe lately. β
"I'll go back after the celebration."
The portal disappeared, and Annan came out of the depths of the tomb and looked at Skeletron who had returned: "The southern kingdoms invite us to come over. β
"What do you think?"
"They just want to find out what's going on in Hearsi."
After all, they all saw Annan coming out of the city.
"But there are only ten days left before the Huadu celebration......"
"You came to the Huadu Celebration to get acquainted with nobles, didn't you?"
β¦β¦
Annan finally decided to accept their invitation.
The southern kingdoms were large, and his purpose was to forge alliances and trade, and of course the more nobles he knew, the better.
In the evening, Annam and Skeletron, dressed in the king's cloak and scepter, arrived at the camp of the southern kingdoms.
There were no ladies, nezumi maids, just a group of old nobles who wanted to inquire what was going on.
Annan's statement is that he knows nothing.
Of course, these old foxes won't believe it, after all, everyone saw Annan coming out of Persona City, and a few weird ones.
They pieced together a truth through clues and Annan's actions:
Far away in Huadu, the princess gives the ring to her most trusted knight and asks him to rush to Persona City to activate the power left by the gods and completely purify the weird.
Faced with the excuse they prepared, Annan had to reluctantly admit: "I just did something insignificant......"
