Alien world

Chapter 1809, Section 442: The Death List
"You don't get this kind of treatment, do you?"

Annan led Prince Aidan back to his residence, where he could see the obsidian mansion directly, and said smugly.

So what if you started working for the demon earlier than me? In terms of importance, the demon clearly values ​​you more.

Prince Aidan had no idea what Annan was so proud of, but the etiquette he had been taught over the past twenty years prevented him from refuting him, and he maintained a polite smile.

Aidan inherited his father's handsomeness and his mother's beauty. After dying once and his hair turning gray, the hazy light from outside shone on Aidan's thin face, revealing more of his mother's gentle beauty.

Upon seeing this, Annan blurted out a flirtatious remark without thinking: "Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like your mother?"

Even the well-mannered Prince Aidan found it difficult to contain his emotions at this moment.

"Uh, did I say something I shouldn't have?" After a dozen seconds of silence, Annan belatedly realized.

"Ah."

"Sorry, couldn't help myself."

When the situation became a little awkward, Ruth came to the rescue, staring at the unfamiliar Aidan.

"Annamian thing, who is it?"

"Aidan, you should have heard of him."

"do not know."

Ruth's knowledge of Annan was very limited, consisting only of the magical images he had taken and recent events.

"It's a bit complicated, but in short, you two were both my enemies, but now you're both my friends."

Ruth understood: "You really do make connections wherever you go."

"Don't leave out any words!"

Prince Aidan's gaze remained fixed on the succubus until Ruth's eyebrows began to twitch, at which point he spoke: "You've gotten too close."

"What do you mean? Are you jealous?" Ruth asked provocatively, raising her head.

"I just feel that if you've ever been close to Liberty City, and the Succubus Queen has been watching you get close, maybe she's testing you for something."

"You mean the demon is clever enough to see through my identity first, and then, after discovering it, can still patiently observe my purpose in the shadows?"

It wasn't that Annan didn't trust Aidan, but what he thought didn't seem like a demon.

"You're right, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Prince Aidan stayed until late at night before leaving. Ruth didn't want to leave, and during their scuffle, Beryl walked outside.

The original intention was to create an opportunity to bump into Annan, but unexpectedly, I saw the two of them tearing each other apart.

"you……?"

"Lady Biros, you are the only one in my heart!"

"Lady Biros, my heart belongs only to An... you!"

Annan and Ruth released each other and said in unison.

In the distance, on the obsidian rooftop, bathed in the hazy glow of the aurora borealis, a figure draped in a black robe watched with a sigh of helplessness as Biros only paused at Annan's residence for a dozen seconds.

“Byros, my dear sister, it seems it’s time to lend you a hand.”

……

The day after Prince Aidan returned to camp, he and the Succubus were summoned by the six-armed serpent and sent out on a secret mission.

Annam didn't even have time to ask him to tell the empire the news.

Judging from the direction he left, it should be related to the Macken ratmen.

Annan was surprised that even the succubus was called on to carry out a mission. He wondered if Biluos had gotten jealous after seeing it last night. This was a good sign!

Later, Annan, seemingly unaffected, went to see the six-armed serpent demon. His question for the day was: "Where are the six-armed serpent demon's reproductive organs located?" "Do you want to see them?"

Birose's words made Anna blush with embarrassment.

"This...isn't good..."

"It's nothing, it's yours."

what?
While Annan was still in a daze, Biros gave him a portrait of a six-armed serpent demon.

“If you have any more questions, you don’t need to ask me,” Biros said.

Annan held the painting, unsure whether to be happy or disappointed.

The image is quite "rough"—a six-armed serpent demon standing naked in the painting, its scales clearly visible.

Snapped--

The succubus queen in the closet slapped her forehead.

In the evening, Annan secretly slipped out of the demon camp and headed southwest, avoiding the demon guards and gargoyles patrolling along the way, until he arrived at the coastline that had not yet been covered by the magic-suppressing zone.

Hidden behind a typhoon shelter formed by several giant rocks, Annan opened a portal to Free City.

"Tell the Empire that the demons are building a wonder; they want to permanently solidify the snow-capped mountains into a demonic fortress. If we don't act now, it will be too late!"

The war tax has been collected, the people have been mobilized, and hatred has been stirred up. What is the empire waiting for?
The messenger instructed Annan to remember, and as he prepared to close the portal, Lilith suddenly teleported over with Olmedo.

"Annan, it's time for you to come back."

Annan knew exactly what kind of shit Olmedo had taken the moment she bent over.

"Don't try to persuade me, I'm not going back."

Annan's expression was resolute, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "I am the Lord of Free City. The lives of my people are far greater than my own. I must stand before everyone and proclaim that I am here. My despicable enemies will not dare to cross me and harm my people!"

"News has come from the Empire that the demons know your tricks and have put you on the death list."

Annan's impassioned speech suddenly came to a halt.

"What!?"

……

The so-called death list refers to targets that demons will kill at any cost, including but not limited to seduction, curses, assassination, and assault.

The list is almost entirely made up of the devil's greatest enemies, such as the emperor of an empire, or some legend. The sudden appearance of Annam gives one the feeling of "who do you think you are to be on the same list as us?"

The intelligence was just delivered, it's still fresh. Although we don't know how Annan provoked the devil, the Empire's information is unlikely to be false.

Annan may not have been exposed, but once a clue is revealed, the devil will swarm in like a tide.

Annan hurriedly returned to the demon camp and ran into Prince Aidan and Ruth, who had returned sometime earlier and had just stepped out of the obsidian mansion.

Still wondering why they were back so quickly, Ruth grabbed Annan and hurried back to the cabin.

"Something's happened! Those rat-men are causing trouble for Lady Biros!"

"what happened?"

Prince Aidan, who had followed, recounted in detail that the six-armed serpent commander had sent them to keep an eye on the movements of the Macken ratmen in the southeast. Before long, they discovered a ratman troop heading towards the demon camp.

After interrogating one of the ratmen in the group, they learned that they had come to capture the culprit who framed the Red-Eyed Clan, namely Biros. And... they had already obtained the Demon Legion Commander's permission.

How could the Succubus Queen possibly agree? They've known each other for hundreds of years!
But the fact remains that the Mackenzie ratmen are a force to be reckoned with.

Annan immediately became anxious. He had spent so much money and was seeing progress; how could he let the ratmen interfere?

He told Prince Aidan and Ruth about the death list and made his decision: "I plan to leave first, but I will take Beros with me before I leave. Will you come with me?"
