"Why are you calling me...... Grandfather? Annan asked confusedly.

"Grandmother told us to call her that, you're her friend, of course we ......"

The "grandmother" that Faye is referring to is the puppet lady Yushi Fischer.

"Just call me by my name......"

"How can that be!" Lao Fei's attitude was fierce.

"Then add a 'sir.'"

"But ......"

Annan didn't want to continue to entangle, it was too strange to be called grandfather by an old man in his fifties and sixties: "Do you still want to get back the jade essence." ”

"You got it back!? Dragon...... Ancestors are above, how can I thank you......" Lao Fei excitedly wanted to kiss Annan's boots.

"You've already been paid."

The Fischer family's treasures hidden behind the bookshelves on the second floor went undetected by the gold diggers, and there were art collections inside, which anthropomorphic estimates were worth more than a thousand gold coins—quite a lot.

Hiring a master mercenary for a day can cost a tenth of the price at most, although they can risk it for more.

Annan felt that the lack was due to the fact that he had handled too much money and that Liberty City had spent too much money. Tatooun's Empire newspaper was not wrong at all in its assessment that "Liberty City is becoming the most expensive city-state of the new millennium."

"But I put the jade essence in Huadu, can you wait for me to go back and give it to you?"

Annan temporarily gave the magic ring to Klein and asked her to restock.

"Of course no problem!"

Lao Fei felt a little strange, but he didn't doubt it...... But some people felt that Annan was a liar.

"You're the guy commissioned by the patriarch?"

A crunchy voice of doubt came from the side, and two knight girls who looked like twin sisters walked up.

They looked at Annan carefully, and actually ignored his appearance: "I don't know what method you used to deceive the old patriarch, we are not so easy to be fooled." ”

Lao Fei's face changed greatly, and he scolded harshly: "What do you say again, hurry up and apologize to Lord Annan!" ”

He then explains that they are Nissi and Harley, two of the best people of the Fischer family's generation.

Annan didn't speak, curiously looking at the two girls who were about his age. They only differed slightly in hair color, with Nia being brown and Harley being chestnut.

"Why should I apologize to the guy who slandered Brother Monte!" Nja was unconvinced.

"Who is Monte?" Annan didn't think about it for a while.

"It's the little ghost who stole the jade essence!"

"Patriarch, how can you say that about him?" Nia anxiously argued, "Brother Monte is a knight of the Church who was received by the princess, how can you believe what this liar says, maybe he didn't-"

At this moment, a soft footstep sounded from behind

The princess came out of the passage barefoot.

Annan frowned slightly: "Why did you come out?" ”

The princess didn't speak, but just took Annan's hand. She hadn't been with Annan for several minutes.

"I'm going to take care of something, you go back first......" Annan said gently, even if she didn't react at all. Then he said to the skeleton guard, "Mr. guard, can you please take her back to her room?" ”

"Gala gala—"

The skeleton guards returned to the passage with the princess.

Annan retracted his gaze and looked at Lao Fei and them again.

Old Faye was only flattering and humble, while Nia and Hallie stared blankly, like two quails frightened and stupid.

Annan asked softly, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" ”

……

It's better to tout than to see it with your own eyes.

After seeing the princess and seeing the princess express her intimacy with Annan, Nia and Hallie closed their mouths and no longer dared to express their opinions and doubts.

Annan had no intention of settling with the two little girls, and asked, "You guys will keep it a secret, right?" ”

"Uh-huh-hmm......"

Nia, who was still a variety of "Brother Monte" just now, nodded obediently.

Annan didn't want to get involved in the private affairs of the Fischer family, but when they saw the princess, he had to take them to the Skeleton King and tell him about their sighting.

Lao Fei's "grandmother" is Skeletron's nominal subordinates, so they are also counted as Skeletron's forces.

"What do you want to do?" Skeletron asked him.

Lao Fei was still respectful, and the sisters nervously held each other's hands.

"Let them keep it a secret."

It's very simple, a five-ring spell proverb can make them keep a secret, but as soon as they finish casting the spell, the princess girl runs over again.

I always feel that the identity of the princess can't be hidden for too long......

In the lounge, Annan sat face to face with Wang Nu, Lao Fei and his sisters.

"The two of them are not simple." Annan said.

Lao Fei humbly said that if they really had potential, they would not need the jade essence to change their fate.

Her younger sister Nia pursed her mouth, while her sister Harley remained silent.

"I mean really...... Annan looked at them curiously, "can you tell me about that Monte?" ”

"Are you going to trouble him?" Nja asked.

"I just want to know who he really is......"

The relieved Nia talks about her "Brother Monte": they have played together since childhood, joined the church together, became knights and servants together, and Faye wanted Harley and Monte to marry in the first place.

As a result, Lao Fei relocated the clan to the cemetery after finding his "grandmother", and Monte, who came with him, happened to be arrested by his order. That's why as soon as Annan came back, the two of them would come to trouble him.

"Old Fei, I suggest you go and interrogate that Monte, there is something wrong with his identity."

"Really?"

"I'm just guessing, let's give it a try."

Lao Fei left with his sisters, and it didn't take long for him to come back with the result: Monte was actually emptied of his soul by a succubus half a year ago, and then the succubus dove took over the magpie's nest.

It took a lot of effort for the puppeteer to discover that there was a succubus hidden in the shell, and to her amazement, Annan was able to identify it with just a few questions......

"How did you do that?"

Annan couldn't tell him that "there is definitely a problem for the sisters to ignore my charm and still keep shouting at Brother Monte", so he had to say that he was talented.

As they prepared to go back, Annan told the princess to wait for her at Klein first, and then to say goodbye to Skeletron.

The Scorched Girl and the members of the Strange Prison are temporarily entrusted by him to the Necropolis, where Skeletron helps feed them, and by the way, he contacts the goblins in the moor.

When he returned to the surface with the servant, the fat nobleman stuck to him and wanted Annan to take him to Huadu.

However, Annan rejected him on the grounds that the commission had been completed, and in doing so, he also saved him - he wanted to return to Crimson Castle, and a human who ran to the territory of the Blood Clan would only become a blood slave, and maybe it would be even worse - because the blood slaves in Crimson Castle were all girls.

"Let's go back."

The crimson princess sitting in the carriage smiled and stretched out her hand to Annan.

Annan handed her the pot with the branches of the otherworldly tree and got into the carriage.

Princess Crimson's convoy is on its way home.
