Alien world

Chapter 1670, Section 303: Arranging the Ratmen
How could the succubus not know that the Spider Queen Rose is... according to Liberty City, her idol!

In the Abyss, there is no ambitious female who does not worship the Spider Queen, Lolth. Powerful, cunning, treacherous... a deity who rose to power through intrigue and slaughter.

If it weren't for the fact that His Spider Queen Church only accepts dark elves, and the mortality rate for non-elves transforming into dark elves is too high, even succubi would want to...

This is not true!
The lust demon screamed inwardly at the thought that the Spider Queen had also picked up Anan.

She absolutely could not accept that Annan had actually... no, she absolutely could not accept that the Spider Queen had actually had sex with a man!
However, the establishment of the Spider Queen's Church is an undeniable fact. What lord would build a sect of the Abyss within his own territory?

The next day, the lustful demon slunk to the dock.

Her coworkers patted her on the shoulder and gave her a knowing smile.

……

While the succubus returned to the docks she had been loyal to, Annan was still trying to figure out how to deal with Evelyn's problem.

We can't let her suffer like me, by not sleeping, can we?
Annan thought of the Conch Sage and asked Ivana to set aside a day to ask her questions.

He had only one requirement: the answer had to be specific.

Ivana understood, and holding the evil chess piece, asked, "Mysterious conch shell, please tell me, who is the being that has been watching Evelyn in my dreams?"

Soon, a reply came from within the Conch Sage: "Lilith."

"Lilith?"

Annan and Ivana spoke in unison.

"You mean, the eyes staring at me in my dream were Lilith's?" Evelyn, who had been summoned from the newspaper office by Annan, exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes."

“This isn’t right…”

"Something's not right. Did those eyes hurt you?"

"That's not true."

It just prevented Evelyn from getting enough rest... After all, the moment those lecherous eyes appeared, she realized she was dreaming and couldn't help but start working.

I work at the newspaper during the day and in my dreams at night. The worst part is that everything I painstakingly write in my dreams is gone when I wake up.

As for why Evelyn dreamed of Lilith, Annan attributed it to the fact that she was, after all, a succubus, whose intuition far surpassed that of ordinary people, thus enabling her to sense Lilith's gaze upon Liberty City.

Annan summoned Lilith to confirm, and then asked Evelyn when she started dreaming about eyes. It happened to be shortly after the fourth floor of the mage tower was completed, and everything matched up.

"Lilith, can you avoid the newspaper office?"

Annan had barely opened his mouth when Evelyn refused. She explained that the newspaper had so many important items; what if they got stolen without Lilith's help?
"What will you do if you need to rest?"

"Try to get used to it. If you really can't, just come sleep here at the World Tree. You won't be unhappy about that, will you?"

"That's not true..."

It seems like more and more people are coming to sleep here; besides the princess, there's now Evelyn.

Anyway, after finally resolving Evelyn's troubles, Annan hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when Losi ran in and said that the ratman elder had arrived.

"If you have any news articles that can be published, remember to leave them for me." Evelyn waved and left.

Annan got up and went with Losi to the council hall to see the rat-man elder.

Besides it, Maria and Gale are also there.

“Annan bastards, we need your help…” the ratman elder said directly.

“No problem, we’re allies. If Liberty City can do it, we’ll definitely help you.”

The rat-man elders stated that the council of elders had approved Annan's proposal to send a clan to the far north, but they were stopped at the gates by demons who had anticipated this. Even with threats, you didn't want the McKenna rats to know that the destruction of the Red-Eyed Clan was a demonic conspiracy, yet the demons remained unmoved.

Stunn Rats couldn't actually tell McKenne Rats that they wanted to take over McKenne Rats' territory, rather than causing conflict between the demons and McKenne Rats.

After the rat-man elder finished speaking, Annan changed his expression again: "What do you want from me? You don't think I have any influence with the demons, do you?" "You have no way?"

Annan shook his head, but said, "You won't even tell me your clan name. I overestimated your sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rat-man elder stared at Annan without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Maria raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered, "The elders already said that we are the Bloodthirsty Clan. Didn't you hear me?"

"Oh……"

Having developed a thick skin, Annan didn't feel ashamed and changed his tune, saying, "What I mean is, your clan hasn't opened up to me yet, which puts me in a difficult position."

"Annan bastard, how do you expect to win me over?" the rat-man elder asked hoarsely.

"Maria, tell me about our current cooperation with the Stunn Rat." Annan didn't know what his older sister had discussed, so to avoid losing face again, he asked Maria to give a brief summary.

Currently, the collaborations between Liberty City and the Stoan Rats include: a three-way partnership in the Broken Mountains, a program to temporarily transfer Skaven artisans, and intelligence sharing with the North.

The main ones were the Bloodthirsty Clan.

Fortunately, Annam knew all of this.

Annan couldn't think of any other way to exploit the Bloodthirst Clan, so he simply said, "We've been cooperating for so long, but Free City hasn't visited your clan yet. How about sending a team of envoys to visit the Bloodthirst Clan?"

"No!" the rat-man elder refused outright.

Annan’s tone was unfriendly: “Your ratman artisans have gone to Free City in the hundreds and thousands, and I’m only sending a small delegation there.”

The rat-man elder sneered: "Weren't the rat-man craftsmen the ones you demanded from Annam?"

“Alright, the Bloodthirst Clan can figure out what to do in the far north yourselves. Maria, Gale, take your elders back.” Annan stood up and walked outside.

"The delegation can only stay in the clan for three days."

Just as they were about to reach the gate, the rat-man elder's hiss came from behind.

Annan stopped, turned around, and held up one finger: "Ten days. It's almost impossible to negotiate anything in three days."

"I promised..."

"This is the right thing to do."

"So, what about the north..."

Annan shrugged: "Didn't I already say I can't help?"

"Annam bastards!" The ratman elder suddenly stood up, his scarlet eyes filled with rage at being mocked and fooled.

Maria instantly stepped in front of Annan, while Gale stood still, unsure which side to help.

Annan stepped out from behind Maria. "Don't worry, I really can't do anything about the demons, but I can secretly send you to the far north."

The rat-man elder remained silent, ignoring Maria's offense, and stared intently at Annan.

"Don't look at me like that. Have you forgotten how my soldiers got to the far north?"

The rat-man elder recalled, "It seems to have come from the sea?"

"Does the devil allow you to do this?"

"It's as if they're allowing it right now."

The rat-man elder was dissatisfied with Annan's perfunctory response, but he did provide a solution nonetheless.

"The demons will definitely target you, and you probably know that. Whether you can gain a foothold in the far north depends on you Stunn ratmen."
