The vast rancid moor is dotted with thirty-four interconnected goblin villages.

Humans are not interested in running here to hunt goblins - a goblin skin is only a few dozen copper coins, and the terrain here and the goblins here are a headache, so there is no need to make a big fuss.

However, goblins who run out are usually not so lucky. The mercenaries are all people who are short of money, and there is no reason not to pick up dozens of copper coins lying on the ground.

So the people outside don't know yet that the goblins of the rancid moor have been divided.

The next day, Annan, who had a deep understanding of the goblins, confirmed that they didn't know anything, and that the phrase "as long as we have the resources, we can make it again" was also a lie to Annan.

Again, how can a remote village have lost ancient technology?

But it is not excluded that they really have what ancient drawings they have. Annan left the quest to Dolai, and he prepared to set out on his way home.

Annan is different. Others could come and go through the portal at any time, and he could only slowly leave footprints on the map. Most of the tasks of the trip to the south were completed, and it was time for him to go back.

As a result, just as Annan was about to set off, the goblins of the other village chiefs wanted to run and plunder.

The musketeers fired a few shots into the air, and the echoing sound of gunfire scared the surging goblins back. Then they slandered Chief Mark and Dorai as traitors.

Dorai, who deals with the goblins of the rancid moor, ignores these voices, and spreads the word that cooperation can be exchanged for supplies, as long as it is not a joke of "cooperate today, rebel tomorrow, and continue to cooperate the day after tomorrow". Goblin golems can also be exchanged.

On the first day, a village volunteered to carry the goblin golem and returned with a pile of food, clothes, and tools.

It shouldn't take long for Freetown to get thirty goblin golems.

Annan they left the rancid moor. I didn't feel it when I stayed in the swamp, but when I came out, I smelled the stench on each other's bodies.

They washed by a stream for half a day and spent three days returning to the edge of Locksey.

Annan paid a gold coin to the rangers who followed them all the way. They got along fairly well all the way. Annan doesn't look down on people, and the ranger is also a competent mercenary who never asks about his employer's private affairs. He rubbed his hands flatteringly: "Give more." ”

"Don't even think about it."

However, Annan still told him that when he was not alive, he could go to the Rancid Swamp to find Dorai and them.

"Ten silver coins a day?"

"I said don't even think about it."

The rejuvenated crowd continued on their way, but Annan still felt that rancid smell on his body...... Fortunately, you can't smell them in the next place—the realm of the dead.

The nest of sleeping bone dragons, the bone giants passing by, and the hordes of banshees...... The realm of the dead is especially lively at night.

Annan met Skeletron in the Necropolis, and he told Annan that the Crimson Castle people were empty.

"Where's Princess Crimson?"

"My people say they ended up going south."

South? You can't just hide from yourself......

Annan had no choice but to give up and explain to Princess Crimson first. He visited the charred maidens - they lived a very nourishing life, spending time in the necropolis and playing with the undead at night, and eating their mouths.

Annan was entangled in whether to take them back or not. The Weird is only found around Whispers, and they will starve to death if they follow them.

Annan decided to put them here first, and their mission was to be studied by Skeletron. When Skeletron finds a substitute for the weird food and brings them back.

Then there is the World Branch. Annan walked for about two weeks, and its growth rate was faster than that of flowers for half a month, and now it has bloomed more than a dozen leaves.

In a few days, even the pot will not be able to hold its roots.

Annan wanted to leave the branches of the otherworldly tree here, but it had been cloudy for several days, and the rainy season in the south was coming.

At the time of parting, Annan took a strange fertilizer enough to last for a month, and took one of the ribs of a giant skeleton - it would henceforth be the medium between Annan and the realm of the dead.

Annan and Skeletron have no covenant, and their relationship is more like a friend than a cooperation. No one will get an extra "friend card" on their friendship.

They just agreed to tell Skeletron about a new discovery, and Annan told Skeletron when he encountered some interesting undead. This reminded Annan of the Heroic Spirit of Freetown, and made him meet Skeletron through the portal.

"A rare undead." Skeletron said.

What distinguishes undead from undead creatures is whether they inherit and possess wisdom.

On his way home, Annan deliberately passed by the Crimson Castle, where there were only a few caretakers and human villages. Interestingly, they did not yet know about the contradictions between the princess and Annan.

The princess would not take the initiative to tell the servants this, and Lucy and Dracula did not say anything because they hoped that Annan would return.

The servants left behind knew no more than Skeletron, and Annan thought about it and left a letter for Princess Crimson. The letter was not an apology, but a funny description of his trip to the Rancid Moor.

Leaving the castle, Annan went to the flower capital next door.

Tavern, Annan hesitated to bring back the rat hole weirdness.

After being fed a piece of flower cake, Annan gave up. Its home is here, so let's stay in the flower capital to cultivate feelings first.

But the Scarlet Witch is going to be taken away - and kept in the Liberty City dungeon.

Annan did not hide his traces, and soon the people from the City Lord's Mansion came to the tavern and invited Annan to the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan declined the invitation, saying that they were just passing through and would return to Middle-earth with the princess.

This trip to the flower capital allowed Annam to have more than a dozen theater properties in the north of the southern countries, and the rest was left to the merchants.

As soon as they left Haidu, they encountered the first rain of the year in the south.

It took about a week for Huadu to reach the Gang Duo Collar, but it took Annan almost half a month to reach the Gang Duo Collar Basin.

If it hadn't been raining for a week, they would have wasted more time on the muddy road.

The South needed cement more than Middle-earth—and Annam realized this when he arrived at the Gundo, and told the owners of the fifteen theaters the news.

In addition to managing the theater, they also have to add a piece of propaganda cement.

Annan was warmly entertained at the Steeldoer, and after realizing what he had done in Huadu, the Steeldoer found his place. The next day, Annan continued north, finally returning to the port of Tuos after a two-month hiatus.

In the afternoon, Annan and the others stepped on the deck, Annan thought that the shadow would attack him, and on the way back they encountered more than ten attacks, and they did not know if there was any trace of the shadow behind them.

But until the merchant ship left port, the shadow of Rikanr that he was waiting for never appeared......

It seems that he is still frightened by the old ancestor.

……

In mid-May 1001 Saint Laurent calendar, merchant ships that had been sailing for a month finally approached the long coastline.

Blue and white dragons soar in the sky, and a new city-state rises in front of the bay.

Annan returned to Liberty City, where he was loyal.
