Chapter 865 Section 96. Infiltration
"Are you sure? This is a serious incident and... accusation, no jokes allowed." The old councillor worried that Annan might miscalculate due to his youth, and warned: "Even if you are the King of the North and the Lord of Free City."
"You will know if you bring the priest with you to check."
"Well, I really hope this is just a lame joke of a young man..." The old councillor asked the guards to prepare the carriage and sighed.
"I hope this is the case more than you do."
-Otherwise, it means that Annan has once again destroyed the conspiracy of the ratmen and become a thorn in their eyes.
This is inconsistent with the original intention of Free City to develop the economy and climb the alchemy technology.
"Where is the priest?"
Annan saw that the councillor only brought a team of guards.
"I am." The old councillor stretched out his hand, revealing the wheat ear bracelet on his wrist, "I have always been a believer of the goddess of harvest."
Annan took Yingge, who had been silent since seeing the old councillor, back to the barn first.
Not long after, the councillor arrived late. In addition to him, there was also a knight leader and councillor with a scrutinizing look.
"Uh... adults, this person said he wants to open the barn for inspection." Seeing so many important people, the guard who was blocking Annan did not give in. This was his last strength.
"Do as he says." The Knight Commander said, continuing to stare at Annan with scrutiny.
The guard asked the grain officer who came to open the barn, and the light outside illuminated the grain bags piled in the corner that had not been transported away.
The old councillor approached the grain bags and gently stroked the wheat ear bracelet on his wrist: "Old man, I thought I could take you to the grave... Come on, send back the residual heat again."
The divine art that had been absent for nearly three years appeared in the barn as the old councillor cast a spell, and the purifying light that made people feel comfortable physically and mentally sprinkled on the grain bags-diffused for a few seconds and then dissipated.
Annan frowned, it didn't look like he had discovered something...
The old councillor seemed to be relieved and looked back at Annan.
"Who was here just now?" Annan did not give up.
"Uh... it seems not!"
"Gucheng is leaking everywhere, the rats probably know we know. We have to get ahead of the ratmen..." Annan shouted outside: "Ilimoyas, find a barn at random, guard there, and don't let any creatures get close!"
The sound of wings flapping followed.
"Let's go over."
The old council leader didn't say anything, and followed Annan with the silent crowd.
Ilimoyas chose the most basic barn, where the door was open and the grain had not yet been put into sacks. When they arrived, there was a figure lying under Ilimoyas's claws.
"Who is he?"
"A sneaky rat."
Annan's eyes lit up, and the surprise of catching the rat was greater than the shock.
The guard who followed him looked very ugly, and stuttered: "Guard... Guard Captain, what are you doing here?"
"Isn't it clear yet? Clean up the pollution before us."
"Ah? The guard captain is also a priest?" The guard said in surprise.
The old councillor, the Knight Commander, the councillors, Annan and the captain of the guards who was held under the claws of Ilimoyas all looked at him at the same time.
Does Martin have a lost brother? Do Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin have blood relatives left outside?
"Come here, arrest him and keep him under strict guard." The Knight Commander tilted his head and said.
Annan and the others bypassed Ilimoyas, walked into the barn, and stood in front of the pile of wheat grains.
"Use the magic quickly!"
"I know, I know, don't rush me..." The old councillor walked over like an ordinary old man complaining and stopped in front of the grain pile.
"Oh, damn, I've used up my last bit of divine power."
"How could this happen?" Annan frowned and said to Yingge, "Are there any priests in Gucheng... Forget it, I'll go find them myself."
"No, I'm just joking." The old councillor muttered, "Young people nowadays are really impatient..."
"...You know this crisis concerns the entire Dimon Kingdom, right?"
"You're going to be hanged tomorrow, so can't you laugh today?" As a councillor who has been in this position for decades, Watts's eloquence is not much worse than his skills.
He muttered while releasing divine magic: "You are still young, there are still many things in this world that are worth your stopping and savoring, that can be a bee, a group of ants, a flower..."
The only thing that can stop his life perception is the faint black mist that escapes from the grain pile with the purification spell.
"You're telling the truth..."
Even with speculation, seeing it with his own eyes still made the old councillor, who was still in the lively atmosphere just now, sigh, and the age spots on his forehead became more eye-catching.
The Knight Commander's face was livid: "We just sent a batch of food to the front line... I hope they are not in a hurry to eat the newly arrived food."
Annan also sighed that the ratmen were really "smart"... Just like no one thought that there was a ratman nest under Breeze City at the beginning, humans might guess that the food would be tampered with, but in the turbulent years, the gods lost contact, and their plague became a blind spot.
"Stanley..." The old councillor who had aged a lot raised his head.
"Please go." The councillor who followed answered.
"You go and notify the meeting hall that Valley City is under martial law, and all the knights and wizards will be dispatched to dig out the rats hiding in the city."
A series of orders proved that the old councillor was not old yet.
"Also, what's wrong with this guy?" Annan pointed at the Knight Commander who had been staring at him with strange eyes: "He has been hostile to me from the beginning, I suspect he-"
"I think this is a misunderstanding, little Annan." The old senator interrupted Annan, "Deri thinks so about you because... he is from the Velasquez family."
"The Velasquez family?"
Annan dug out this family from his long-standing memory... one of the twelve kings of the North, and the head of the North King.
So the Velasquez family and the Reeves family have hatred? Conflict? Or...
"You were engaged to my sister."
The Knight Commander interrupted Annan's wild thoughts and raised the issue to another bizarre level.
"Uh..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." The old senator helped Annan out of the siege, "King of the North, I need to entrust you with an important matter. The soldiers on the front line may have eaten these contaminated food, but it may not be too late. Can you and your blue dragon rush to the front line immediately to warn them?"
"Since you call me the King of the North..."
Annan really has no reason to stand idly by - otherwise he would not have come to the Dimon Kingdom because of a bloody word.
The old councillor took off his wheat bracelet and handed it to Annan: "Take it, he will make the soldiers on the front line listen to you."
"Please, if the front line is lost, the kingdom will be finished..."
"I will eat something, take a shower, and sleep, and then set off." Annan said deliberately.
The old councillor smiled: "I know a good restaurant."
Annan smiled and climbed onto the dragon's back.
"Ilimoyas, full speed ahead."
I hope it's not too late...
