Alien world

Chapter 257 110. When the Sadness Fades
In the dead of night, a figure silently entered Annan's bedroom and stopped in front of the sleeping boy's bed.

The dark clouds parted, and the light of the silver moon poured in from the window, and Leila appeared beside the bed—she looked at Annan complicatedly, holding a dagger.

While still hesitating, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and a long and narrow shadow spread into the room.

"Are you Annan's sister?" the figure outside the door said softly.

Leila turned around, guarding Annan behind her, staring at the sharp-eared silhouette standing at the door: "Who are you?"

"I'm Della, the warden of Xingyue Bay, Annan's... bodyguard."

"I heard you."

Leila changed her posture, from protecting Annan to placing the dagger on Annan's neck.

"I know you won't kill him... You want to know the truth? Let's chat in another place."

The silent Laila nodded, put away the dagger, and stepped out of the room with the elf whose name somewhat resembled her own.

The closed door blocked the flickering light in the glass bottle and Annan's sleeping face.

……

"Mr. Asimov! Mr. Asimov!"

The girl who appeared in the forest couldn't see the towering tower, nor the majestic royal city. Knowing that the past was gone, she sat down on the grass and cried sadly.

Her crying attracted an uninvited guest, and the bushes behind her made a rustling sound - a pale animal figure rushed out, stopping the girl from crying.

When the pale beast shadow was about to succeed, an arrow pierced the air and nailed it to a tree, revealing the true appearance of a white wolf.

The cry froze for a moment, and then rang out more violently: "Mr. Asimov, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Stop yelling, there is no second snowfield wolf for you to lure out." The hunter in fox fur picked up his bow and arrows, pushed aside the bushes and came to the clearing.

"Is this Xingyue Bay?" The girl asked with red eyes, suppressing her crying because of the appearance of outsiders.

"Are you also the girl who wants to 'chaser the dream'?" The hunter glanced at the wooden box that the girl was holding tightly in her arms, and walked towards his prey, "No, I'll send you there, how about your reward?"

"Okay." She looked around, staring at the hunter who skillfully skinned the white wolf, "Where am I?"

"If you ask how far it is from Xingyue Bay, I will answer that you have to walk more than 2000 miles."

"what's your name?"

"Rick, people here call me the Never Give Up Hunter."

"Because you never give up your prey?"

"Almost. You look pretty when you're not crying. Let's go back."

The hunter peeled off the white wolf skin and put it on his shoulders, ignored the dead wolf without the skin, led the girl back to the town, and then rented a carriage to take her to the city. Get paid - Rick is as quick as he is skinning.

Watching the hunter go away without looking back and waving, the girl retracted the wooden box into the cart.

"You were cheated..." said an old man on the cart who was going to Xingyue Bay to try his luck.

"Why do you say that?"

"It only costs 70 silver coins from Fengrao City to Breeze City, and less than 50 silver coins from Breeze City to Xingyue Bay... I can see clearly that you gave him a bag of Jinnar."

"How do you know it's Jinnar in the purse?" The person next to him teased.

"I will never forget the wonderful sound of Kinnar's collision!" The old man stared at the wooden box in the girl's arms.

"I gave him so much money because he saved me and helped me. The teacher said honesty is a good quality—"

The old man suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch it, and the young man who was talking to him also grabbed the girl's arm cooperatively.

"Go away!"

The light blue protective cover suddenly opened, pushing out the two malicious people.The movement here attracted the attention of the caravan leader. First, he asked the caravan guards to beat up those two guys. After learning that they had robbed something, they broke their legs and threw it out.

Knowing that the girl was going to Xingyue Bay, the leader of the caravan invited her to the front carriage.A mage apprentice who can cast spells is not far from becoming an uncrowned noble mage, and he doesn't want to have any accidents with the mage apprentice...

Of course, the most important thing is the "commission" - he can get half a Jinnar for introducing a professional to Xingyue Bay!

A mage counts as two professionals, so why is a mage apprentice also counted as a professional?

"Are you from Xingyue Bay?" The girl asked the businessman who was more attentive after knowing where she was going.

"It's just a small cooperation with Xingyue Bay..." The leader of the caravan shyly rubbed his hands.

"What does the King of the North look like?"

"I haven't seen it, but his men say that the king of the North is Jack."

"Who is Jack?"

"The hero in "The Fall of the Mage Tower"."

"The Mage Tower has fallen?"

Facing the young girl who asked new questions every time she answered, the caravan leader guessed that she was a nobleman who had sneaked out from home: "The king of the North invented something called magic image, which is like a stage play... the hero The actor who plays the role is the King in the North."

The girl is not interested in stage plays, but she is curious about the King of the North: "How can I see it."

"Record the Philosopher's Stone, but it costs 20 gold coins...

"I'm out of money, this is for you." The girl took off her necklace and threw it to the businessman.

"No problem! We will also bear the expenses on your journey!"

The businessman left excitedly holding the necklace, and soon brought the Philosopher's Stone.The girl only looked at it for a while, then forgot Mr. Asimov to the back of her head, and only thought about the touching story of Jack and Rose and his handsomeness.

The caravan set off now, embarking on the long journey to Xingyue Bay.

……

"...your younger brother died from the Ratman, and Annan was mistaken for your younger brother, attacked and slandered, imprisoned in a dungeon, and coveted by the Ratman. He had no choice but to pretend to be the king of the North to repel the conspiracy and the Ratman People, saved Breeze City and avenged your brother, this is the truth."

Of course Laila knew.Annan said in the letter many times after returning home that she has no right to accuse Annan other than pretending to be her younger brother...but how should she explain to her sister?

"I... I want to be quiet," said Laila, whose head was a mess from the beginning.

"Don't leave, Annan knows you're coming..."

Watching Leila go out quietly, Daila first went to Annan and Abby's bedroom to make sure they were still fast asleep, then slipped into the shadows and went to the basement.

There was a sound of undressing in the darkness, followed by a sharp cracking sound.

In the joyful pain, Della put down the whip, knelt down with her forehead on the ground, forming a perfect arc in the darkness.

"Mistress." Della called softly.

Then she made a hoarse whisper that didn't belong to her: "That girl...is the boy's sister?"

"Yes, Matron."

"Arrange a ceremony...let them combine...the power of blasphemy will restore my strength, and become the first god to return...and you, will also become my most devout priest."

"Follow your holy word..."

Della remained in the posture for a long time.Confirming that the great being had left, she put on her clothes again and left the basement.
