Alien world

Chapter 1364 Chapter 286. Start with a dragon and end with a dragon
At night, the Lord's Mansion in Liberty City is still brightly lit.

Officials in the City Lord's Mansion worked overtime to deal with the matters at hand: the list of candidates to assist the Blue Dragon in governing the Broken Mountains; the internal and external propaganda tone after the change of lords; the list of people who needed to be punished and hanged.

They were almost accustomed to their lord giving them big tasks every once in a while - it was almost becoming a regular routine for them.

Annan couldn't help, so he asked the head maid Abby to prepare some more midnight snacks. Seeing Abby pushing the dining cart into the hall and bursting into cheers and praises, Annan came to the garden with a smile.

The thriving Otherworldly Tree has gotten rid of the title of a sapling in every way. Its crown exceeds that of the City Lord's Mansion and is about to compete with the three-story Mage Tower.

"It seems like he hasn't grown much taller?"

Annan stood under the tree, but not much had changed since he left.

The tree in the other world swayed in the wind, and its branches gently brushed Annan's cheek.

After all, he had only been out for a week.

From another perspective, it took Annan only a week to bring about a coup in a region.

Lord Raymond's loss was not a loss.

Touching the branches and broad leaves, Annan walked towards the princess who was sitting quietly under the tree.

The princess, who was as beautiful yet fragile as porcelain, sat on a bench. As Annan approached, she raised her empty eyes and stretched out her only hand to him.

Annan held her fair and soft palm and squatted in front of her.

The princess became as quiet as if she had found Lily in Annan, except for the snoring.

It was a pity that the princess who sacrificed herself for the entire Yiwen City had become like this. Annan could only support her and pin his hopes on her waking up.

After spending some time with the princess, Lily came over to take over his shift.

Annan held Lily in the princess' arms, then stood up and returned to the city lord's mansion.

Passing by Olmedo's office, there was a light on inside the door and the sound of pages turning could be heard.

After thinking for a while, Annan pushed the door and walked in.

Hmm…the pile of documents that always sat on Olmedo’s desk has become two piles.

It seems that the Broken Mountains are easier than the Kingdom of Rekhan last year, but at that time they just had to walk away, but now it is equivalent to taking over a territory that is several circles larger than the entire Gem Bay.

In other words, Liberty City has trained a lot of talents in this year. Otherwise, if there is a shortage of manpower, lazy governance and corruption will inevitably arise.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

Without looking up, Olmedo knew who was tiptoeing around the door.

"I know..." Annan admitted his mistake first, then raised his head and said, "I didn't do anything."

"You haven't done anything yet? You've been out for ten days and you've already destroyed another territory."

Annan looked out the window with a guilty look on his face: "Uh... let's take a look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance."

"What, you want to take back the North!?"

"I didn't say I wanted to..."

Olmedo raised his head from his work and said, "Do you know how many people worry about you when you go out? You are not a god, but in the hearts of the people of Liberty City, you are almost like a god. If something happens to you, their world will fall."

"I'm safe. No one can..." Annan's voice became smaller and smaller. "Okay, I won't run around anymore."

"Be good, go out now. I still have to stay up all night to finish these official tasks. By the way, when I see Irene, ask her to bring me a cup of strong coffee."

"Ok."

Annan retreated obediently.

Standing outside the corridor, Annan looked up at the door in confusion.

Did I just enter Olmedo's office or my eldest sister's? ...

Liberty City finally compiled all the lists before dawn, but the price was that the lights in the City Lord's Mansion were on all night, and every official had dark circles under their eyes.

So much so that in the early morning, Olmedo yawned and said she wanted to catch up on some sleep, so she decided not to go to the trial of the nobles.

Anyway, it’s enough for Annan to go alone.

Annan came to the Golden City through the portal in the square. After a night, the people of the Golden City were almost used to the floating city hanging above their heads, and they all knew that the blue dragon flying in the sky like a bat would be their future lord.

Their lord went from being greedy like a dragon to being an actual dragon?

But the Holy Son personally assured them that their taxes would be lower, their salaries would be higher, their surroundings would be safer, and their lives would be better than before, which made them secretly look forward to it.

Not only the Golden City, but also the Liberty City rushed to produce a bunch of leaflets, which were spread throughout the Broken Mountains through the Blue Dragon. The dark guards who controlled the wanderers also made amends by telling the wanderers to go to the nearest town to obtain resident status.

At present, most people hold a skeptical attitude. They all wonder, how is it that there are lords who don’t bully us and soldiers who don’t beat and scold us?
However, as Lord Raymond and a group of lords and nobles are executed, they will change their views.

Annan came to the dungeon and glanced at the group of well-dressed nobles in the cells, but did not see President Philen.

It looked like he didn't have to hide from Mrs. Phelan anymore.

As for Little Smo being bribed...Annan would rather believe that he was bribed than believe that Little Smo could be bribed.

They found Little Smo, who was still checking and patching up the loopholes. He told Annan that the group of people, including President Philen, had not committed any direct crime, but the accomplice nobles escaped the hanging by handing over all their property.

Now that he was here, Annan went to see Lord Raymond for the last time.

"Do you have any last words?" Annan asked him.

Lord Raymond, who had not slept all night and had pieced together what was going to happen by listening to bits of talk in the dungeon, looked calmly at Annan outside and said, "You killed so many nobles and made the blue dragon the lord. Do you want to bring chaos to the Broken Mountains?"

"The blue dragon is from the Order camp, how could it bring chaos?"

"They are not human, and the civilians you are trying to protect have more to lose."

"I thought that in your last moments, you would at least feel remorse for your son's death."

Annan shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.

After turning around and walking a few steps, he stopped again:
"They already have nothing. What else do they have to lose? The only thing they will lose next is their chains."

……

There was no sunshine in the early morning and it was a little colder than yesterday.

But the residents of the Golden City spontaneously came to the streets, gathered in front of the square that had been turned into a gallows, and huddled together in the cold wind.

There were blue dragons flying in the sky. The guards took the pale nobles to the gallows, put on the ropes, and sentenced them to death.

Finally, it was Lord Raymond's turn. Because of his size, he even used a specially made thick hemp rope for the noose.

"…He murdered bishops, priests, and nuns, and killed his own two sons. He was sentenced to death by hanging!"

Lord Raymond's crimes were so numerous that it took three minutes just to read them out.

As Little Smoker pronounced the verdict, the flap under his feet suddenly opened.

The fall of Lord Raymond made the entire gallows tremble.

Not surprisingly, Lord Raymond died more easily than other nobles.

"Adele, did you see that..."

In a corner of the stage, Wilson watched all this and murmured.
