Verse 120
After Lily, Annan could hear the little spider again.
"Do you remember the past? Who taught you, Lily? Is that dream you......"
The spider queen responded to Annan's enthusiasm with silence.
Annan thought that maybe the little spider had just learned to speak and couldn't express her emotions yet.
His eyes fell on the silly cat on the windowsill, walked towards it, and jumped out as soon as he got close to it.
Annan extinguished the delusion that a stupid cat could also talk because it was too stupid.
It was late at night, and it was not good to call the eldest sister and Olmedo out of bed again, so Annan had to continue meditating first.
The bedroom was quiet, and at some point, the silly cat went and returned, staring at the glass bottle with unkind eyes.
"Tricking him into going to the Dark Realm?"
"It's good for him too......"
"What benefits? What good can a human run into the Endless Abyss do? ”
"My help...... And my people. The little spider said calmly, "I will make all the disciples his servants and let him choose." ”
"You're just as disgusting as he is!"
……
"Wake up......
Early in the morning, Annan, who had finished meditating, approached the little spider and called softly. As if I was afraid that last night was just my hallucination.
It didn't take long for the spider to emerge from its nest. "The other side of the sea......" it repeated last night's words.
"Do you remember me?"
"...... on the other side of the sea"
"Do you want to eat anything?"
"...... on the other side of the sea"
Annan left for a while, and when he returned, he held a map of the south: "Where?" ”
The cloudy eyes returned to clarity, and the spider stuck to the wall of the glass bottle.
In case the spider was illiterate, Annan opened the glass bottle, poured it on the map, and asked it to point where.
Then Annan saw that the little spider was descending from the Obiris Strait at the edge of the map, passing through the Steeldoer, Huadu, and Strange Stories in the north of the southern countries, and burrowing into a mountain range...... It was near the depths of the southern kingdoms.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Annan picked up the spider and placed it on the edge of the map.
This time it was still resolutely climbing into the mountains.
"I see."
Putting the spider back in the glass bottle, Annan walked into Olmedo's office with the newspaper: "I'm going to the south again." ”
Olmedo looked up, then continued to busy: "Yes. ”
"So ...... simply?"
"There's not much you can do in the city, and the current progress in the south is to open a theater a week, and you can speed it up a little bit when you get there." Olmedo is like a cold profit machine.
Annan's character is rebellious, and if Ormedo doesn't let him go to the south, he will use the excuses he has prepared. But when Olmedo agreed, he hesitated: "But I still have to train soldiers......"
"You don't have to really teach them."
Annan defended: "My presence will inspire them!" ”
"Let Yili make a statue of you and put it there, and the effect should be about the same."
Annan was unwilling to say: "That goblin golem ......"
Olmedo looked up: "How much do you know about 'how the diamond structure makes the joints flexible'?" ”
"What's that?"
"You see, you don't even know how to make a golem."
"I can know."
Olmedo leaned back in his chair and gestured to the stack of books to the left of his desk: "There they are." ”
It's just twenty or thirty books......
As soon as Annan was about to say, "I can try," Olmedo said, "These are the catalogs." ”
"I think professional things should be done by professional people." Annan said seriously.
Olmedo raised a light smile and continued to bow his head to deal with his official business: "Unless you shoot the fifth magic video now, the value you make outside is even greater." ”
"But aren't you curious what I'm doing in the past......?"
Olmedo inhaled, then exhaled, as if sighing: "You always come up with ideas, I can't guess...... Okay, so where are you going? ”
Annan came to the desk, and Olmedo grumbled and opened the official report on the desk, spread out the map and pointed to the middle.
"Here."
"The eastern part of the southern kingdoms...... ...... of the Celence Mountains"
Olmedo's expression gradually became solemn: "Do you want to change places?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"As far as I know, it's hollowed out by vampires and nezumi ......"
"I'll leave today!"
……
Annan and Olmedo told the truth, and Itilia was afraid that she would worry, so Annan only said that he would go back to the south to deal with some things.
However, he does plan to do other things along the way, such as bringing the freaks back, forming an alliance with Skeletron, and replenishing the freak fertilizer. Go to Huadu and take a turn and tell them that everything is okay with the princess. Go to Crimson Castle to see if Princess Scarlet has returned, and go to the Rancid Swamp, only 11 Goblin Golems have been shipped in the past few days, and he has to ask the goblins to hurry up and send the remaining 19 over.
This time, Annan didn't want to spend a lot of time on the road again. Too much time is wasted crossing the strait...... He was going to have Dean Brehim take him there.
If only he had a legend, Annan only needed three steps to get there: open the portal, let the legend pass, and let the legend open the portal.
Now it's an epic, and Annan needs to repeat it three times: they teleport first to Maple Island, then from Maple Island to Puerto Tuos, and finally from Puerto Tuos to Huadu.
Mr. Svarro is a little faster, he should do it twice...... But if you ask him to take you on the road, you might be thrown into the rat's nest by him.
In any case, Annan should be able to catch the Liberty Cup when he returns.
Before setting off again, Annan made a brief arrangement.
The saplings of the Otherworldly Tree were left in the care of Druidad and the maid Abby, and the princess went from being dependent on Annan to relying on Annan and Itilia these days, and it was nothing to be away for a while.
On the barracks side, Losey promised to be imprisoned in a dungeon if none of the elites were professional.
Annan admired Lotsi's spirit and praised him, and when he left the camp, he suddenly remembered, isn't there a Morris in the elite team?
Finally, Annan went to the dungeon and told the Red Witch, "I'm going to leave here for a while, the time is undecided...... If you refuse, you won't know when the sun will be in the sun again......"
The Red Witch expressed her willingness to surrender in frustration on the surface, but in her heart she wanted to go out and hijack Annan to escape from Liberty City-
As if he knew she would do this, Annan summoned the devil Beludona in the dungeon and asked her to sign a contract: the Red Witch would work for Liberty City for the next ten years, and could not disobey any orders from the city lord and deputy city lord.
In the process of signing the contract, Annan greeted Beludona, whom he hadn't seen for a long time: "Aren't my gifts ready yet?" ”
"The transformation is not so fast...... Don't ask me, keep it secret. ”
The devil's pact is complete, and Annan retrieves the magic runes that shackled the Scarlet Witch.
After the elven mentor and Deng Xianshao, Liberty City has a third master.
Beludona hurried back to hell as if she was busy with something, and Annan took the Red Witch out of prison and left her alone, returning to the City Lord's Mansion to prepare for departure.
