Alien world

Chapter 1815, Section 448: Return to the Loyal City of Freedom
"Also, I really am Annan."

Annan guessed that Black Pearl wouldn't be so easily trusted, so he then revealed his identity to divert Black Pearl's attention.

"Don't insult my Annan!"

The black pearl's dragon roar made Anan's cheeks tremble and his hair blown back.

No one can insult Annan Reeves, not even Annan Reeves himself!

Annan remained silent. After the turmoil subsided, he simply peeled off the pieces of flesh from his face and waved his hand to open a portal.

Just as the guards on the other side of the portal were about to speak, they saw a black dragon grabbing its lord: "Lord Annan, you... uh... is this the new princess?"

"Besides me, no one else should be able to open the portal to Liberty City so easily, right?"

Although Annan couldn't even use a mage's hand, even epic-level characters couldn't open a portal as easily as he did.

Black Pearl remained silent, but her vertical pupils, large enough to contain Annam, and her dragon claws trembled slightly.

She recalled her bold declaration of love to Annan, the words she had spoken to him, and her rude manner...

"It's alright, I won't hate you because of this." Annan stroked the black pearl's dragon claw, comforting her in return.

As he touched her, he sensed that Black Pearl's gaze was becoming increasingly strange.

This is not good; her gentleness has made Black Pearl want to play the role of the evil dragon who kidnaps the prince.

Annan, oblivious to being caught in the dragon's claws, pulled out a summoning crystal and fiddled with it: "Black Pearl, there's no magic-suppressing field here."

Black Pearl was caught in a dilemma. Because whether in the past or in the future, she would hardly have another opportunity as good as the one before her—to have Annan firmly in her grasp.

Annan's tempting whisper rang out: "Would you like to come back to Liberty City with me? My Liberty City is big and fun."

Black Pearl refused Annan's invitation and abandoned her plan to kidnap him and force him into marriage.

That way you can only get Annan's body, but not his money!
Black Pearl put Annan down, took off into the air, and quickly turned into a black shadow in the night, leaving only a roar of unwillingness.

"I'll be back!"

Annan withdrew his gaze, thinking that he should tell Beldona when he got back that he should keep the matter of the ratman city-state tavern to himself and not mention it to anyone.

After Black Pearl left, their escape was unimpeded, and three hours later, without any surprises, they met up with the Hellfire Legion that was waiting for them.

Prince Aidan left the party; he had other matters to attend to. Annan led the rest of the group back to Outpost Island by boat, using the portal there to return to Free City.

It felt like going from winter back to summer; the sudden change in temperature made Anan feel a little uncomfortable, and he sneezed several times in a row.

“Your Majesty Annan, please take care of yourself…” Peterson approached with a blanket, but was deterred by Annan’s glare.

Why didn't you bring a cape or a coat, and instead of asking Lilith to turn up the temperature a few degrees, you brought a blanket? What are you trying to do?
Besides Peterson, Dumbledore, who had learned from Ellie Moyas that Annan had returned with the six-armed serpent demon, also rushed over. The look in his eyes sent a chill down Biros's spine.

Annan walked toward her. At this point, there was no need to hide anything anymore—besides, Biros probably already guessed what was going on.

"Is this the good place you were talking about?" Biluos lowered her head, her snake-like eyes locked onto Annan.

Ruth was a little nervous, worried that Annan and Lady Biros would clash.

On the left is Lady Biros, whom he is loyal to. If it is Annan, who has given him new meaning, and if they start fighting, he can only desperately stop them, sacrificing himself to bring peace. In the end, he will fall into Annan's arms, looking at Lady Biros, pleading for an end to the war between demons and humans...

As Russ's mind was filled with poignant stories, Annan spoke up: "Free City is open and inclusive. Whether you are a dark elf or a demon, as long as you abide by the local laws, you can have a place here."

The six-armed serpent demon sighed. Even though Lady Lilith had trained her for several hours, teaching her how to feign shock, confusion, sadness, and betrayal, she was simply not good at acting.

Finally, Biros reverted to her true self, slightly raising her head to display the pride of a six-armed serpent demon: "Who exactly are you?" Peterson, sensing his opportunity, jumped forward and said, "Standing before you is—"

"Get back."

"Oh."

Annan said softly, "I am Annan Reeves."

Biros paused for a few seconds: "I need some peace and quiet."

She worried that if she stood in front of Annan again, she would give herself away because she couldn't make an expression.

Annan interpreted Biros's composure as "a wise person who remains calm in the face of adversity" and saw nothing wrong with it.

"Your accommodations have been arranged. Let me take you there."

"unnecessary."

The six-armed snake demon had a stern face.

She must be very disappointed in herself... Annan thought, and had the guards lead Biros to her residence—a guest room on the third floor of the city lord's mansion, instead of the embassy outside.

"I'll go and comfort Lady Biros!" Ruth quickly followed.

Watching the six-armed serpent demon leave, Annan turned his head and called out, "Lilith?"

Lilith's phantom appeared and said, "There is some malice, but not much. Besides that, she is also entangled in some obscure curses."

Annan nodded. Having deceived Biros for so long by impersonating a succubus, it was perfectly normal for him to feel some emotion upon learning the truth. But the curse…

"What kind of curse?"

"Unable to determine, but the source is most likely a demon."

Then we can send out the Stoun Ratmen, the demon... could it be the Succubus Queen?

Can you remove it?

"Once the fifth floor is completed, we can give it a try."

Annan looked out the window. The mage tower, which was under construction for its fifth floor, was already the tallest in Free City. It echoed the otherworldly tree, which was also over thirty meters tall, making Free City transform from a flat city into a three-dimensional one.

As the workers become more familiar with the Mage Tower, the construction speed is also accelerating, and the fifth floor will be completed in about three months.

It seems we can wait a bit.

“Lord Annan, my laboratory is ready and can begin at any time!” Dumbledore’s eyes gleamed with a Griffin-like fervor.

"Even prostitutes have to take their skirts off first, right?"

After Annan finished speaking, the room fell silent.

“Uh… I mean, let Biros get familiar with Liberty City first before starting the experiment. Dumbledore, you can take this for now.”

Realizing he might have inadvertently damaged his dignified image, Annan handed the notebook containing Birose's various physical data to Dumbledore, then suddenly covered his left eye, his right eye becoming bloodshot.
"Damn it, the chaos in this body is affecting my consciousness again."

"Lord Annan, you should take a rest," Deng Buli said with concern.

As for how much of it is genuine, only he himself knows.
