Chapter 908 Chapter 139. The Demon Lord’s Deception
Annan and the girl held hands and danced in front of the bonfire. Young men and women gathered around him and danced to the music.
Olmedo was sitting by the bonfire, turning his head to look at Itilia who was pushed by Leila, the firelight licking their faces.
Meow meow--
Lily, who felt there were too many people here, jumped off Itilia's lap and ran outside.
Households in the street brought out their tables and filled them with prepared food for guests at the dinner party, known or unknown, to taste.
Seeing Lily running over, the store clerk quickly took out the treasured dried fish and dedicated it to "Lily Angel".
The succubus next to her leaned sideways at the door of the massage parlor, looking at the square in the distance with blurred eyes. Her graceful figure attracted the man who was swallowing his saliva. She pointed to the official business sign beside her. The customer continued to look into the distance as the customer walked away in disinterest.
Biting the dried fish, Lily jumped up to the eaves and jumped between the roofs without a trace of dust.
The Skeleton King was talking to Michael and Dumbledore in the Mushroom House about the improvement of gunpowder and golems. Even if they had not dabbled in relevant knowledge, the profound knowledge of a legendary undead was enough to benefit them both a lot.
There was also a small gathering of dwarves in front of the blacksmith shop. The dwarves were very wary, but when Bronzebeard brought out barrels of wine, they realized that they were half-brothers and sisters.
The dwarves were so drunk that they were alone. I don’t know whether the dwarf was carrying the wine barrel or the barrel was carrying the dwarf.
Several wild dogs suddenly burst out of the alley, barking and chasing after Lily.
Lily stopped walking, let go of the dried fish, raised her head and roared: "Meow-"
Lily's cry echoed in the night sky, and soon, there was a series of cat meows all around.
Liberty City is the territory of cats, and the wild dogs immediately tucked their tails and ran away.
Lily picked up the dried fish in her mouth again, looked at the "thick tree trunk" standing not far away, and continued to run away looking into the distance.
Lilith and the princess were sitting on the third floor of the mage tower where pillars had just been erected, looking at the lively square in the distance. They had no expression, and looked equally cold in the moonlight, just like a pair of sisters.
Only a shadow jumped across the roof, and Lilith's green pupils turned.
Evelin lay bored in front of the window sill, looking at the bonfire in the distance.
The excitement belongs to them, but I still have to rack my brains to think about tomorrow's newspaper...
"Meow~"
Suddenly there was a soft cry, Lily jumped from outside to the window sill, licked her mouth, and then started to lower her head to wash her face.
Evelin happily picked up Lily, holding its two front paws, and danced in front of the window to the music and laughter floating in the distance.
…
Annan left during the banquet and returned to his bedroom.
The Red Dragon Warlock is dead, and it's time for the Demon Lord to fulfill his promise.
Annan fell into sleep and came to the lava lake again.
The center of the lava lake began to boil, and the huge flaming shadow of the Demon Lord slowly rose up like a balrog.
"Demon Lord, the Red Dragon Warlock is dead!"
It is somewhat inaccurate to say that it is death. The followers of the Warlock Protection Association obviously have other uses for collecting Nanazi's body and soul, but Annan bets that the demon king does not know.
The Demon Lord looked down at Annan, cracking the corners of his mouth that was dripping with lava: "You didn't let me down..."
"It's your turn to fulfill your promise, my people's souls." Annan looked up at the Demon Lord calmly.
The Demon Lord gradually opened its lava claws, revealing the clusters of souls. Then it raised its head and stuffed all the souls into its mouth.
Accompanied by bursts of chewing sounds, the huge sadness was like a long-simmering flood, drowning Annan.
"I'm lying to you..." Seeing Annan almost losing his mind, the Demon Lord laughed lowly, "There is no soul. Maybe this will make you feel better?"
Annan remained silent, but his anger grew stronger and stronger, and finally, it was as if a thread had been snapped——
Annan woke up from his dream.
Annan regained his composure when he woke up.
He came to the window and looked at the face reflected in the glass, which had almost no flaws except for his youth. "You have prepared this for a long time, haven't you? Annan..."
Fortunately, at least implementing the Demon King's request did not cause heavy losses to Liberty City. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise that it expanded its power and brought over Tasia, Brinor Janna and their tribe.
The laughter and laughter of the people in the square gradually calmed down Annan's mood.
The hope of resurrecting the war dead was completely wiped out, and Annan had no choice but to take out the leaves of the World Tree and prepare to tell the elf mentor the cruel truth.
"Tedel, are you there?"
"I am here."
Not long after, Tedder responded.
"Is Yirelanze here?"
"She is outside the Elf King's Court. Do you have something to bring to her?"
"Well... Her friend Ymir died under the siege of the rat men for the rear during our battle with the rat men. Please tell her for me, I'm sorry, it was me who killed her..."
"I understand." Tadel felt Annan's low mood and comforted him: "You don't have to feel too guilty. Ratmen are also enemies of elves."
"I know, but after all, Irilanze believed in me and sent Ymir to me..."
"Death is not the end for elves." Tedder paused, "I will go to the World Tree with Yrilanze later to sense whether Ymir's soul has returned."
"soul?"
"After the death of all elves, their souls will return to the World Tree, didn't you know?"
"Uh... I, of course I know, but I just didn't remember it."
Annan seemed to vaguely remember that the elves liked fatalism and other things. Many elven epics have plots about ancient elves losing their spouses and then finding their spouses' reincarnations to cultivate from childhood...
Is this good news among bad news?
But anyway, this trip to the floating city made Annan realize that he seemed to have to take on some responsibilities.
So he came to Olmedo's office and asked Ingrid, who was still busy, to help introduce the recent situation of Free City.
Ingrid first talked about the shortcomings of the floating city: lack of supplies and trade, which can be collectively referred to as lack of contact with the outside world.
All their living supplies need external supplies, water, and food.
Goods are okay. At present, they can only be transported clumsily and slowly by portals, but as the Mage Tower begins to build portals in various commercial streets, it will be solved sooner or later.
Food and water sources are the big problems. They cannot be produced out of thin air, and they are necessities for maintaining life. These two things alone account for 80% of the daily cargo throughput of Free City.
Olmedo thought of a way to learn how other floating cities do it.
As for the benefits, there are too many, many of which cannot be simply quantified, and must be linked to this action. For example, the longing of ordinary people, the gratitude of the rescued, reputation, and all this...
When the bigwigs mention Liberty City, they will no longer say: "Oh, it's the floating toy of that champion boy."
