A strange world

Chapter 471 Chapter 128. Liberty City

At the evening party, Annan told everyone the bad news.

Mr. Fast is also invited to participate - in the form of a portal. Annan has never been a person who is arrogant in the front and respectful in the back. His change in attitude stems from the fact that "a warrior Fast who used his muscles more than his brain and recently fell in love with fishing" suddenly turned into "someone who has traveled across countless planes and has a past." Mr. Fast, a member of the organization.”

"You should try to contact Franning. That elf minister values ​​you." Ingrid suggested from the perspective of Gem City.

"I agree." Olmedo agreed.

The Principality of Keating is a purely commercial country, and maintaining friendly relations with them will allow Gem City to make more money.

"I hope the more friends the better." The contempt the envoys showed before leaving made Annan change his mind: "But only some friends are suitable to be partners."

"What? Don't say such complicated things." Fast squatted on the pier without raising his head: "I must keep my body and soul quiet and integrate into nature..."

"I said I changed my mind. We need to be careful about our allies."

"Sorry, I'm late."

At this time, Andrew Luna and Martin, who was working in his tavern, walked in, "Where are our new allies?"

"already left."

"No results? I thought it was a celebration party." Andrew Luna said with a frown.

"The nobles couldn't see Annan giving gold coins to untouchables." Francois complained.

"Just like I thought."

Everyone looked at Martin who spoke. When the envoys arrived, he was the only one ordered to stay at home. At least the goblin knows what to do and what not to do, but who knows what Martin will say...

Continuing the previous discussion, Francois said: "The attitude of the envoys is not surprising. What Annan did is simply unreasonable in the eyes of those rigid nobles."

There is no church, no nobility, let the untouchables go to school, a group of aliens...

Of course, Annan was also confident: the church in the turbulent years was not as practical as the tavern, the newly established Gem City certainly had no nobles, only commoners with knowledge would feed back the territory, and the alien order could be freely implemented a few days ago.

"What do you think of the name 'Free City'?" Annan thought of something.

"What's the meaning?"

"No race, no class, no war. I'm ready to change the Declaration of Race into a Declaration of Liberty."

"Racial declaration?"

"My speech at Xingyue Bay." Annan recalled the enthusiasm at that time... When the Free City was built, he could still speak the polished "Declaration of Freedom" again.

And before the residents have a sense of belonging to the "Gem City", it's not too late to change.

Everyone agreed that the name of Liberty City sounded much better than Gem City.

Only Ilimoyas didn’t think so.

…

In the southern part of the Principality of Montabullock, in the Mage Association, an elemental calling ceremony is about to begin.

"Before the ceremony begins, Grand Duke, have you thought about it? We should not make new enemies at this time." The vicissitudes of the gray-robed mage looked at the crazy Grand Duke Gilles.

"Enemy? A bandit worthy of it? Without the elements he stole, my cavalry would crush his city!"

"Follow your orders..."

The gray-robed mage held the staff, came to the hall where the magic circle was drawn, and personally presided over the ceremony.

"Lord of the Fire Element in the Blazing Land, we call for your will to come..."

The majestic shout echoed in the hall, the surging magic power awakened the magic circle, and the scorching ancient shadow slowly emerged on the magic circle.

The hall of the Mage Association was filled with heat as the phantom appeared. Standing outside the ceremony, Mad Dog Archduke shouted to the phantom on the magic circle: "A group of robbers have robbed your elements!"

The gray-robed mage faced the phantom of flames that shrouded him and said respectfully: "Great elder of the fire element, we found a group of abnormal numbers of eternal fire elements. They seem to be driven and enslaved by a warlock..."

The flame shadow made a burning roar.

The gray-robed mage continued: "Use this place as an anchor point and head to Gemstone Bay, 900 miles south."

The blazing flame shadow disappeared from the teleportation array, followed by the second elemental elder - the moist water vapor gradually cooled the furnace-like hall.

After communicating with the fire element elders, water element elders, earth element elders and wind element elders one after another, the tired mages ended the ceremony.

Mad Dog Archduke walked into the hall and came to the gray-robed mage: "I can't wait to see the four elemental elders destroy that bandit."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy..." the gray-robed mage said, "If Annan reaches an agreement with the elements, the elemental elders won't interfere..."

"Can't you destroy it?" Mad Dog Archduke frowned again.

"They are the pure elements beneath the legend...Deceit and lies only make them angry."

"I remember that bastard also got a lot of skeleton farmers?" Mad Dog Archduke decided to give Annan some more surprises, "Lure me the Druid Avengers from the Yalong Mountains..."

…

In the dark hours before dawn, Annan was awakened by the noise outside the window.

"Della, what's going on outside?"

The sleepy Annan raised his head. Something seemed to disappear in the bedroom. Soon, a shadow appeared in front of the bed.

"The elements are gone."

Annan has not yet woken up from the dream: "What does it mean that the elements are missing?"

The noise outside was getting closer. Annan put on the mage's robe and found that the panicked people had already ran to the living room.

From their mixed narratives, Annan pieced together a fragmented truth: All elements of the city had disappeared.

"Without warning or any attack, one resident who ran to the bathroom late at night said the element was there when he went in and was gone when he came out."

"What about the other elements?"

"All the elements are...the water element in the bathroom, the earth element in the farmland, the fire element in the bathroom, and the air element wandering in the sky, all gone."

Inexplicable fear suddenly gripped everyone. The Elemental Legion formed the strongest shield to protect Liberty City, like a bonfire that drove away wolves. But now, the bonfire went out without any warning, and all those who kept warm were forced to face the darkness...

"Let the Musketeers—"

"I have put Liberty City under martial law."

The door opened again, and Layla pushed Itilia in. A pair of majestic vertical pupils lit up behind her.

Ilimoyas also climbed out of the crystal nest and guarded outside the city lord's palace.

“Are the elements from other places still there?”

"I'll open the portal now."

Annan opened three portals one after another: the one on the merchant ship, the one at Fermi's place, and the one at the mining site. As a result, all the elements that Annan pulled from the elemental plane disappeared silently.

Even the three water elements accompanying Leila disappeared, and his three copper coins were also lost in the sea.
