Alien world

Chapter 1446 80. The Scarlet Queen Arrives
"I haven't heard you say 'Three sentences made the Fortune Church pay twenty million guineas' for three minutes."

Idilia chuckled.

"Showing off is something that only feels good when you do it to people who don't know you."

Idilia thought it made sense, except that she happened to be there when Annan was showing off.

In front is the only embassy in Liberty City.

Two officials were walking down the street, discussing the expansion of the industrial zone, and did not notice Annan and Idilia.

But it doesn't matter, Annan noticed them.

“The spinning mills have requested that a space be reserved for them.”

“Are they going to expand again?”

Annan interrupted, "You asked me how to get the Fortune Church to pay twenty million gold nars?"

The official who was suddenly addressed looked confused.

"Ah? I didn't ask..."

……

Three minutes later, Annan stood contentedly with his elder sister in the lobby on the first floor of the embassy.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?" He noticed that Idilia was looking up at him.

"No wonder there are no secrets in the City Lord's Mansion."

"I didn't say those ugly things!"

"I didn't say who leaked the secret."

Seeing the eldest sister showing a rare hint of cunning, who would have thought that Itilia was only 23 years old.

Not long after, the saint appeared pushing Archbishop Tomac.

"You guys go play."

In her opinion, there were some things that Archbishop Tomac was not convenient to talk to Annan about, so she, his sister, would negotiate on his behalf.

Annan and the Saint, who were the "younger ones", went to the courtyard to chat.

It can be seen that the saint likes flowers and plants very much - in fact, Annan thinks she should like snow more, after all, there is almost no chance to see snow in the south.

"How's the singing practice going?" Annan was most concerned about the competition.

“I think I’m more suited to singing church songs.”

"Then sing church songs and play to your strengths."

The competition in "All People's Singer" is so fierce that Annan is a little unconfident that the Saint can win the championship.

But the top three shouldn't be a problem...right?

Continuing to stroll to the conference room, Annan saw Eli Gravestone standing on a chair, discussing the appearance of the Church of Wealth with the church bishop.

Although there is no idle person in Free City except Annan, the busiest people are undoubtedly two dwarves - Eli Stonecrush and Soruman Bronzebeard.

Saruman Bronzebeard drank wine and produced steel.

Erie Gravel is either building a house or on the way to building a house.

Even before the city expansion plan started, he had to build a house for the church. But instead of being fed up, he felt fulfilled.

The feeling of being needed was great for the half-elf, half-dwarf.

After all, in the eyes of the elves, he had the blood of the enemy of his race flowing in his veins. In the eyes of the dwarves, he was a dwarf of impure blood.

The only person in Liberty City who could relate to his feelings was Tasya.

Annan didn't want to get involved, but the words like "pure gold" and "money vault" that kept floating in his mind made him feel like a dragon and couldn't take a step forward.

"Lord Annan."

"Ah! What?" Annan shuddered.

Eli Gravel seemed not to notice Annan's abnormality: "The scope of Free City has expanded, and the sheds outside need to be cleaned up."

"Got it. I'll talk to my elder sister." With his elder sister and Eli Gravel helping to share the burden at the church, Annan turned his attention back to "Singer of the Nation".

The good news is that the Scarlet Queen readily accepted his invitation.

The bad news is that Annan has to think of an excuse to appease the Scarlet Queen.

……

As dusk permeated the spire of the City Lord's Mansion, twelve skeletal nightmare beasts crushed the setting sun and appeared in the teleportation square.

Their hooves left boiling rose-shaped scorch marks on the concrete road, and on their backs were young and handsome vampire guards, clearing the way for the Scarlet Queen behind them.

The Scarlet Queen's wheelchair can no longer be called a wheelchair; it would be more appropriate to call it a sedan chair: she sits on a coffin-shaped obsidian throne with a blood moon behind her.

But if you look closely, you can see that the blood moon is made entirely of blood vessels.

The Scarlet Queen leaned on the obsidian throne, her lead-black hair hanging down the edge of the coffin, and her long dress was like flowing red wine.

If there was an older vampire standing here at this moment, this scene would definitely evoke its old nightmares—

The Scarlet Queen was the same a thousand years ago, except that the blood moon behind her was real, and beneath her was an obsidian coffin, with an overwhelming sea of ​​blood raging at her feet.

But in Liberty City, a young city where the average age is less than 30 years old, Annan just thought it was so damn cool that he even wanted to make such a stylish appearance for himself.

Yes, the judges will appear like this in the final of "Everyone's Singer"!
"So much blood food..." The Scarlet Queen sniffed slightly.

She could not have imagined that one day she would come to a human city as a "guest".

Raise your delicate chin.

"Have you found a reason, my Dracula?" The Scarlet Queen raised her delicate chin.

To outsiders, the words sounded ambiguous, but to Annan they were chilling.

"What's the reason? Are you asking why I invited you so late?" Annan pretended not to understand. "I just don't want to delay your work. After all, the great Scarlet Queen still bears the heavy responsibility of making the blood race rise."

The Scarlet Queen pursed her bright red lips, accepting Annan's excuse.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief and went over to greet him: "Didn't Lian Na come with you?"

"She has just received the power of her ancestors and is sleeping to digest it."

"Wouldn't that mean I would have to sleep for a long time..."

"Don't worry, she will wake up on her 500th birthday."

"That's great. Please follow me. The other judges are waiting for you."

Annan led the way, followed by the floating queen's sedan chair.

The crowd on the street stood on both sides of the road, looking at Lord Annan's new guests curiously.

Among them, a silhouette of a man in a robe holding the Philosopher's Stone stands with an old man with a parrot on his shoulder.

"Why are you taking this picture?" the fishmonger Old Jack asked him.

The robed man followed the team, taking as many shots as possible: "Let's shoot a movie called 'Dracula and Elizabeth Have a One-Night Stand' and put this scene in the front."

"Are you going to die? Damn it, I can't fight with you guys anymore..."

Old Jack the fishmonger was scared. He wanted to get rich, not become blood food for vampires.

The parakeet also spread its wings and was about to rap, but the fishmonger Old Jack quickly covered his mouth.

If they are heard, they are doomed!
"What are you afraid of? If there's any trouble, it's that warlock." The robed man whispered, "Don't worry, I just got out of prison, and I know the Free City Code by heart!"

……

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, Annan led the Scarlet Queen to the lounge.

Skeleton King stood up and greeted: "It's a pleasure to meet you, the incarnation of the blood moon, the Scarlet Queen."

The Scarlet Queen responded: "I have heard of your great name, the wisest Skeleton King."

Annan then said: "The Lord of Free City who brought miracles to the world welcomes you."

Skeleton King and Scarlet Queen looked at him at the same time.
