A strange world

Chapter 436 Section 94. New Holy Temple Conference

Waters Manor.

In front of the long classical table, there are several candlesticks emitting dim light, which show traces of temporary movement - silent evidence of the sumptuous dinner.

Xian Na, mother and daughter, ate quietly. At a certain moment, a mature female voice sounded: "Ai Xue, I am going to let you transfer to Solz Magic Academy."

Ai Xue, who looked like a snowman, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, raised her head and said, "I don't want it. My friends and partners are all at Syltovis Magic Academy."

"It's meaningless. Syltovis Magic Academy will no longer be number one soon." Their mother, Mrs. Germanie's toughness did not diminish because of the long wavy hair hanging on her shoulders.

Xian Na grasped the silver fork and rubbed it uneasily, then suddenly stood up and said: "I agree with sister's decision!"

The calm Mrs. Germanie and the surprised Ai Xue looked at the same time.

"reason."

"One of us used to be at Syltovis Magic Academy, and the other was at Solz Magic Academy, and it's still like this now..." Finding that her sister, who had always been suppressing her, recognized her, Xana's nervousness quietly faded: "And you let Ai Xue's transfer will make our family's reputation worse!"

"Who dares to talk about the Montreal family?"

"But our last name is Waters." It was as if the dark environment gave Xana courage.

"...Tonight's guests didn't come." Mrs. Germanie said something else.

"He said he would come tonight." The courage this time was given by Annan. "It should be because you were so harsh before and scared him..."

"Really?" As a result, she saw that her always strict mother rarely agreed with her words, "Take me to your college tomorrow."

"Uh... ok."

…

After finishing his meditation, Annan fell asleep. He felt his body getting heavier and heavier, sinking into this earth... When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting in the sacred hall for the first time in a long time.

Moreover, not only did Annan not return to the outermost row due to the loss of Xingyue Bay, but he progressed to the fifth row from the bottom - separated from his former tablemate Khamis VI by two thick walls.

"Your progress is so fast." Khamis VI said resentfully, "Will I see you on the Thirteenth Throne in a while?"

"probably not."

That means Annan has gone from accepting asylum to protecting others... This is not a good thing, at least not now.

"What a confident 'should'." Khamis VI said angrily.

The sacred temple was noisy everywhere, and no one paid attention to their conversation except the lord who was sandwiched between them. Because this sacred church meeting has taken too long...

Annan first looked at the King of Gold in the center of the hall, and then at the King of Bones in several adjacent seats, Emperor Tatooine.

He sat on a seat made of countless skulls, and like other high kings, his figure was shrouded in mist.

The Seat of Mud remains empty.

This meeting of the Sacred Temple revolves around the expeditionary force to clean up the rat plague and resist the demonic tide. The High Kings of the North, Middle Earth, and South unanimously agreed to send troops. As for their potential leaders, they only need to provide some supplies and allow the expeditionary force to pass.

The King of Gold didn't look for Annan, and the King of Bones didn't seem to recognize Annan. After the notice, they mentioned "merit" and "reward" and hurriedly ended the meeting.

Annan opened his eyes, and his consciousness returned to the wooden house in Gem City.

"Meritors" and "rewards"... Annanchai is related to contributions to the expeditionary force. But they didn't say what the reward would be, or even when the expeditionary force would be called up.

There should be a second Holy Temple meeting.

Annan, who thought so, sat up and turned on the magic lamp. After thinking for a while, he actually put on the mage's robe and came to the pile of official business in the living room.

Annan picked up a book and opened it. It was the flight log of the New Initial. After flipping through a few pages of short records, I unexpectedly found an old friend in a particularly long record - Count Ulmit who had returned to his hometown.

After the Violet Kingdom was destroyed by the McKeon Ratmen, the unsustainable Earl Ulmit took refuge in Star-Moon Bay for a period of time, and then returned to the old land to rebuild his home——

Of course Annan would not forget him, only Martin's memory could be so bad!

The time in the logbook is December 21st. At that time, Annan had not yet obtained Gemstone Bay. The New Initial and others were still a wandering fleet, and Count Ulmit was still trying to recruit them.

It was much closer to the old land of the Violet Kingdom from Gem City than from Xingyue Bay. Annan remembered that Earl Ulmit had a lot of treasures... and that the rat tide might not discover the belongings put away by the nobles of the kingdom.

That is the legacy of a kingdom.

Annan had a new idea and asked the maid Abby to call Ingrid. After listening to Annan's plan, the sleepy girl said disdainfully: "You don't even know about the gold diggers."

"Of course I know! I also worked as a gold digger for a while! At that time, I only had black bread and salty peas, but there was endless work..."

After sighing for a while, Annan realized that the gold diggers she was talking about were not the same miners she was talking about.

"I was just kidding." Annan smiled awkwardly.

Ingrid ignored him: "Gold diggers are the kind of people you mentioned. They go in and out of wiped out countries and towns, searching for the relics of the dead like vultures."

"Are we still in time?" Annan thought that the Violet Kingdom was big enough, and there was also the Ruikaner Kingdom that also fell next door, so the gold diggers shouldn't be that fast.

"You could try working with Count Ulmit, a local is more useful than a vulture's sense of smell."

"I understand, I'll leave this matter to you."

Facing Ingrid's disdain, Annan coughed lightly and picked up a ledger: "I'm going to continue to handle official business!"

Annan is not a person who gets sleepy when he sees words. There are many reasons why he is tired at the moment, such as being woken up while resting, running a lot today, the food cooked by Aunt Susan is so delicious, entering the sacred temple may consume his energy, and it is too quiet late at night——

So Annan rummaged around distractedly and found the magic mirror in the drawer. He said in a low voice: "Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in this empire?"

The magic mirror trembled and a line of text appeared that was definitely not written in Common Language.

We have to find a way to let the magic mirror have a picture...

"Aren't you dealing with official business?"

Annan was awakened by the sudden appearance of Ingrid.

"Hmm... I suspect that the magic mirror has some secrets... Why does it know so many things?"

"If you have nothing to do, go and rest."

"I'm just...not good at handling these official duties. I can't handle the same official duties as you and Olmedo did for a day." Annan felt that he should say something, "Those wild things are more suitable for me."

"I have no doubts about that," Ingrid agreed.

"You are such a considerate person." Annan showed a relaxed smile, closed the painful account book, and fell asleep peacefully in a peaceful night.
