Alien world

Chapter 1498 132. Shocked, the Demon Lord is still pestering Annan

Annan opened his eyes, and the distorted red turned into a blue sky and a concerned face.

"I'm fine..."

Annan exhaled, sat up, and found himself still on the street.

In addition to the Skeleton King and Captain Biglit, Lilith and Mr. Swarovski also rushed over.

Seeing Annan looking at him, Mr. Swarovski snorted coldly and threw his wizard robe, and then he collapsed and disappeared like a pool of black mist.

Annan grinned, a smile that seemed a little silly to everyone.

Lilith glanced at the badge in Annan's hand. It was the culprit.

"I'll go find him."

"No need, it's none of Girardi's business." Annan called Lilith.

Maybe Girardi himself doesn't know what's going on.

The Demon Lord influenced Girardi through the demon blood, thus tricking Annan.

Demon's Blood...

Annan realized that his neighbor was always an invisible bomb.

He can rely on the different world tree to hide himself, but Girardi next door cannot. He will only be exposed to the sight of the Demon Lord, and his descendants and his descendants' descendants will not be able to escape.

Through him, the Demon Lord can influence the main plane at any time and attack him again.

Annan regretted his last act of pretending. If he had kept the Philosopher's Stone and said a few nice words to please her, maybe they would have something to talk about next time they met...

Annan followed Lilith back to the Mage Tower and went to the embassy for a comprehensive inspection to prevent the Reeves family from becoming like the Montamblelock family.

Fortunately, everyone arrived in time, or perhaps trapping Annan into a nightmare was already the best they could do. Annan was so clean that he didn't look like he had ever come into contact with a demon.

"Since you are here, why not get baptized?" Archbishop Tomac said Annan's lines.

"Now?"

Annan looked around. The church in the east had just started laying the foundation and not all the people were there yet.

"We can baptize first and add the testimony later. It's just a ceremony anyway."

Archbishop Tomac showed an urgency that he had not shown before. Annan realized something and became silent.

"Archbishop, you——"

Archbishop Tomac smiled and said, "This day will come, son."

This was the first time the Archbishop called Annan "child", and Annan sighed inwardly.

"Okay, now then. Should I prepare anything?"

"No, baptism is just to make you known to the lady."

Didn't the lady already know this?
Annan didn't ask, he knew that he got on the bus first and bought the ticket later, and being baptized now was equivalent to "buying the ticket".

He put on the pure gold badge given by the lady, and the one dropped by Girardi was taken away by several bishops for purification through exorcism ritual.

Annan followed Archbishop Tomac to the auditorium.

This baptism was just a formality, so everything was kept simple: Archbishop Tomac, Saint Laya, and Captain Biglit stood in a triangle around Annan, and the Saint on the opposite side said in a clear voice: "Holy Son, please follow us."

Annan is familiar with this. He followed this process when he joined the Holy Grail Knights.

But as soon as the saint opened her mouth, he became a Muggle... The syllables of her whisper were not in any language Annan knew, and they sounded a bit like elven.

"This is ancient human language. Focus."

The Archbishop's reminder came from the side.

Annan concentrated his attention and repeated every word the saint said.

The baptismal prayer was longer than expected. Annan recited it for almost ten minutes before he uttered the last syllable along with the saint.

The saint raised her head, and so did Archbishop Tomac and Captain Biglit. Annan also looked up, and saw nothing but the dome of the auditorium.

"Nothing seems to have changed."

The disappointment on Archbishop Tomac's face flashed away: "In the turbulent years, the plane where the gods are located is getting farther and farther away from Allen's world. Apart from you, I have not heard of anyone who can attract the attention of the gods."

No wonder the Church of Wealth clings to this lifeline so tightly that it won’t let go.

"Okay, Annan, do what you have to do."

"Please take some rest."

Annan and Archbishop Tomac, who looked a few years older, said this and left the hall.

……

"We need to solve this problem of the Girardi family."

Annan, who had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, was surprised because it was not Fermi who said such radical words, but his eldest sister Idilia.

"I don't support your idea." It was Olmedo who spoke in a soothing tone.

"why?"

Everything in Liberty City and the Reeves family depends on Annan. If something happens to him, everything will fall apart - this is the common understanding of everyone who understands Liberty City.

"Girardi is the last bloodline of the Montamblelock family. With his death, the Montamblelock bloodline will be completely cut off."

The real point is that Montamblelock was once a golden family, and even though it is now in decline, it is still remembered by many people.

Liberty City cannot afford to exterminate the descendants of the Golden Family.

"Don't they still have Claire?"

"The secular world will not accept a devil ruling a country."

They could still turn a blind eye when Claire hid behind Girardi, but if Claire stood on the stage...

Your allies are either ratmen or blue dragons, and now you support the devil in establishing a nation. Annan, what do you want to do!
"But the devil will not give up on contacting Annan." When it comes to Annan, Idilia refuses to give in.

"Don't worry, sister. Liberty City will become stronger and stronger in the future," Annan comforted.

"Stronger than the Golden Family?"

Montabrelock used to be a golden family like Montreal. Although their decline was not directly related to the Demon Lord, it was definitely related.

"At least we are prepared."

Just in case, Idyllia sent people to keep an eye on Girardi. If he made any unusual movements, the patrol team could directly control him.

The previous idle move paid off: it changed the patrol from patrolling within the principality to "protecting" Girardi.

In fact, there is a permanent solution: kill the Demon Lord.

However, given Liberty City's current strength, saying this will only lead to ridicule.

"How about we ask the devil?"

When it comes to dealing with demons, the profiteers in hell are the professionals. Steamed demon lamb, steamed demon palm, steamed demon tail, roasted demon, sauced demon, steamed demon...

As he was thinking about it, Annan felt a little hungry.

The two deputy city lords had no objection. They believed that everyone has his or her own expertise and maybe the devil really had a way to help Annan get rid of the entanglement of the Demon Lord.

"By the way, I think I saw Evelyn when I came back. Send someone to tell her that the matter of the Demon Lord must be kept secret."

……

"How could I say such nonsense? I'm a journalist, and journalists have the most professional ethics!"

Evelyn said, quietly tearing off a page of notes.

On the other side, Girardi was forcibly "protected" by the patrol team as soon as he returned to the Watch Territory. He really didn't know anything and was still loudly promising that he would never run around.
