A strange world

Chapter 634 Chapter 31. Bandits from another world

"I...I know where the family's treasures are hidden! As long as you find the stolen things, I'll give them all to you!"

On the empty streets of Lost City, the old patriarch, holding on to the faint hope, begged.

"Let's talk in another place."

Annan looked up at the deserted streets.

"Can you... make it..." The old patriarch observed the burned girl with his peripheral vision.

The burnt girl returned to Annan's shadow. Annan hugged the blanket, looked at his own shadow curiously, and followed the old patriarch to his hiding place: a shop selling tools.

Passing through the room with boarded up windows and doors, we came to the attic of the shop, where some old tools were piled up. There was only a gap in the attic window - it was here that the old patriarch saw Annan.

"I stay here during the day and hide in the basement at night." said the old patriarch.

"Why don't you leave?"

"I didn't find what was stolen..." His old face was filled with regret. Both to the thief and to my cowardly self.

"Why would any family let the patriarch come in and take risks?" Annan asked puzzled.

The old patriarch said in embarrassment that the Fischer family was cursed by the devil, and their descendants would always die from various accidents. He could not bear to let the children be in danger, so he came in on behalf of the clan.

"Fischer...Fischer family?" Annan suddenly remembered something, "Your family was betrayed more than two hundred years ago, and the enemy was suddenly exterminated a hundred years ago, right?"

"What...what's wrong? Do you know us?"

"Ok, I know……"

Annan never imagined that he would meet Mrs. Puppet’s tribe here. As for the "curse"... it should be that the devil angered Mrs. Puppet's offspring after she left.

"The Fischer family believes in the dragon god, because it was the passing golden dragon that killed those bad guys..." the old patriarch sighed.

"That's not a golden dragon, it's your ancestor." Annan shook his head.

"Isn't this... right? Our ancestors did not have powerful professionals..."

"This is what your ancestors told me. Her name is..." Annan recalled the name of the puppet lady, "Yoshi Fischer..."

"The Dragon God is... oh my god. That's my great-grandmother's great-grandmother!" "But I remember that this ancestor is dead..."

"She is dead, but became undead."

The Fischer family was completely unaware of this, especially since Mrs. Puppet gave up on reviving the family after her revenge, so much so that the entire family believed that the Golden Dragon was lending a helping hand and believed in the Dragon God for two hundred years - and never received a response.

The old patriarch thought that Annan was also an old guy, so he asked with humility and awe: "Excuse me, where is Mr. Youxi now?"

"Skeleton Duke's territory, do you want to see her?"

"Of course I do, but..."

"A commission? I'll take it."

"How……"

"It doesn't matter. You will pay me, right? Tell me the things you lost and the location of the treasure."

"I...I don't know where the things are." The old patriarch lowered his head in shame, "The treasure is behind the bookshelf on the second floor of the family mansion..."

"Old patriarch..."

"Just call me Lao Fei."

"Okay Fei, what did you lose?"

"A bottle of emerald essence."

"what is that?"

The old patriarch said that the emerald essence can allow a spellcaster with an affinity for magic to gain a touch of spirituality and change his profession to become a clergyman. The value can hardly be measured in gold.

This was an opportunity that the descendants of the family were lucky enough to get, but he, the old patriarch, personally lost it.

No wonder the old clan leader ran in on his own... He faced the clan members silently, wanting to atone for his sins.

The old patriarch himself couldn't figure out where the jade essence was stolen, but Annan had some clues: he took out the magic mirror from the magic ring.

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, where is the jade essence that Lao Fei lost now?"

After a brief silence, the magic mirror answered: "The basement of the Sphinx family manor."

"It's them! Follow Nissi and the kid next to Harry!" Lao Fei suddenly shouted.

"Who is that?"

Lao Fei said that Nisi and Harley were the outstanding members of Fischer's generation. Harley was the one who got the jade essence, and the kid was Monte. They had played together since childhood.

Lao Fei originally wanted Harley and Monte to get married... but now it seems that they are really blind.

"Draw me a road map," Annan said.

The old patriarch responded, taking out the charcoal from the stove and tearing open the corners of his clothes.

He drew two road maps, and one to the Fischer family, which was the reward he promised to Annan.

"Do you know the source of the weirdness?"

"Crack!"

No need for Lao Fei to tell Annan to know. It seems that only the princess knows where they come from.

While Lao Fei was drawing the route, Annan asked some precautions. He has been here for two days. Even if he has been hiding and not moving, he must know something.

Lao Fei said it was safe during the day but dangerous at night. Also be careful of the Diggers, they are just as dangerous as the weird ones.

There are actually "gold diggers"...

There is never a shortage of people here who are willing to sacrifice their lives for wealth, not to mention that the princess is still protecting Yiwen City.

Thinking on the bright side, the appearance of the gold diggers here means that Wenwen City is not that dangerous, at least not during the day.

Lao Fei handed the drawn route map to Annan and asked worriedly: "If you go to find my things, what will happen to the princess..."

"It's okay. I like taking on several tasks at the same time and completing them together." Annan said, "But I have to find the princess first, and then maybe find the jade essence along the way."

"Sir, no one knows what the princess is doing, we'd better go out first..."

At this time, Lao Fei no longer wanted to retrieve the jade essence.

He learned from Annan that his ancestors were still alive and could defeat their enemies a hundred years ago. The Fischer family no longer had to rely on a bottle of jade essence to change their destiny. They could embrace their ancestors and Annan...

"Why do you think I came to Wenwen City?" Annan asked.

Lao Fei guessed: "...you have fallen in love with something weird?"

He is a descendant of Mrs. Puppet, and now he is a little crazy. He is still an old man, and it is normal to have deep-rooted stereotypes... Annan told himself this.

"You go out first, I want to enter the royal city."

"I……"

Annan interrupted him and took the initiative to walk outside: "You have stayed in Wenwen City for two days. If you stay any longer, you will become that kind of monster."

Back on the street, Annan sprinkled bone powder, summoned a skeleton horse, and asked Lao Fei to climb on it: "After leaving the city, enter the woods and shout my name. There will be an existence to help you."

"Thank you, sir... you must find the princess successfully! Princess... are you the princess's--"

"Take him away quickly."

The skeleton horse drove away Lao Fei, who was shouting something. Annan withdrew his gaze and continued to set off.
