A strange world

Chapter 1364 Section 286. Start with a dragon, end with a dragon

At night, the Lord's Mansion in Liberty City is still brightly lit.

Officials in the Lord's Mansion worked overtime to deal with the affairs at hand: the list of candidates to assist the blue dragon in governing the Broken Mountains; the propaganda tone for the interior and exterior after the change of the lord; the list of people who need to be punished and hanged.

They are almost used to their lords taking on big tasks for them every once in a while - this is almost becoming their regular program.

Annan couldn't help, so he asked the maid Abby to prepare more midnight snacks. Seeing Abby push the food cart into the hall and burst into cheers and praises, Annan came to the garden with a smile.

The thriving other world tree has gotten rid of the name of a young tree in all aspects. Its crown exceeds the Lord's Mansion and is about to compete with the completed three-story Mage Tower.

"It doesn't seem to have grown much?"

Annan stood under the tree. But compared to when he left, there was not much change.

The tree of the other world swayed in the wind, and its branches gently brushed against Annan's cheeks.

After all, he had only been out for a week.

From another perspective, it took Annan only a week to overthrow a region with ease -

Lord Raymond did not lose.

Touching the branches and thick leaves, Annan walked towards the princess who was sitting quietly under the tree.

The princess, who was as beautiful and fragile as porcelain, sat on a bench. As Annan approached, she raised her empty eyes and stretched out her only hand to him.

Annan held her white and soft palm and squatted in front of her.

The princess was like Lily who found Annan, and she became quiet, with only the snoring sound left.

It was sad that the princess who sacrificed herself for the entire Yiwen City became like this now. Annan could only support her and pin his hopes on the tiny and almost non-existent hope of waking up.

After accompanying the princess for a while, Lily came to take over his shift.

Annan held Lily in the princess' arms and stood up to return to the city lord's mansion.

Passing by Olmedo's office, the door was lit and there was a sound of pages turning.

After thinking for a while, Annan pushed the door open and walked in.

Hmm... the pile of documents that had been on Olmedo's desk for years turned into two piles.

It seems that the Broken Mountains are easier than the Kingdom of Rekanel last year, but at that time they just patted their butts and left, and now it is equivalent to taking over a territory that is several circles larger than the entire Gem Bay.

In other words, Free City has cultivated a lot of talents in this year, otherwise, in the absence of sufficient manpower, lazy politics and corruption will inevitably breed.

"Do you know you are wrong?"

Olmedo knew who was tiptoeing around the door without looking up.

"Got it..." Annan admitted his mistake first, then raised his head: "I didn't do anything."

"What haven't you done yet? You've been out for ten days, and you've destroyed another territory."

Annan looked out the window with a guilty look: "Uh... Let's take a look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance."

"What, you want to take back the North!?"

"I didn't say I wanted to..."

Olmedo raised his head from a pile of official business: "Do you know how many people worry about you when you go out? You are not a god, but in the hearts of the people of Free City, you are almost like a god. If you have any accidents, their world will fall..."

"I am safe, no one can..." Annan's voice became smaller and smaller, "Okay, I won't run around anymore."

"Be good, go out, I still have to deal with these official business all night. By the way, I saw Irene and asked her to bring me a cup of strong coffee."

"Okay."

Annan honestly retreated.

Standing outside the corridor, Annan looked up at the door in confusion.

Did he just enter Olmedo's office or his elder sister's?

…

Free City finally sorted out all the lists before dawn, but the price was that the lights in the City Lord's Mansion were on all night, and every official had dark circles under their eyes.

So much so that in the early morning, Olmedo yawned and said she wanted to catch up on her sleep, and she would not go to the trial of the nobles.

Anyway, it was enough for Annan to go alone.

Annan came to the Golden City through the portal in the square. After a night, the people of the Golden City were almost accustomed to the floating city hanging above their heads, and they all knew that the blue dragon flying in the sky like a bat would be their future lord.

Their lord changed from being as greedy as a dragon to being a real dragon?

But the Holy Son personally promised that their taxes would be lower, their salaries would be higher, their surroundings would be safer, and their lives would be better than before, which made them have to look forward to it.

Not only the Golden City, but also the Free City rushed to make a bunch of flyers, which were spread to all parts of the Broken Mountains through the blue dragon, and the dark guards who controlled the wanderers made amends and told the wanderers to go to the nearest town to obtain resident status.

At present, most people are skeptical. They are all wondering, how can there be lords who don't bully us and soldiers who don't beat and scold us?

However, as Lord Raymond and a bunch of lords and nobles are executed, they will change their views.

Annan came to the dungeon and scanned the pile of nobles in the cell who were dressed in fine clothes, but didn't see President Philen.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

It seems that I don't have to hide from Mrs. Philen.

As for Xiao Smo being bribed... Annan would rather believe that he was bribed than that Xiao Smo would be bribed.

He found Xiao Smo who was still checking and patching up the loopholes, and he told Annan that the group, including President Philen, did not commit a direct crime, but the accomplice nobles escaped the hanging by handing over all their property.

Since he was here, Annan went to see Lord Raymond for the last time.

"Do you have any last words?" Annan asked him.

Lord Raymond, who had not slept all night and had pieced together what was going to happen by listening to the bits and pieces in the dungeon, looked at Annan outside calmly: "You killed so many nobles and let the blue dragon be the lord. Do you want to bring chaos to the Broken Mountains?"

"Blue dragons are people of the Order Camp, how can they bring chaos?"

"They are not human, and the civilians you want to protect will lose more."

"I thought you would at least feel guilty about your son's death in the last moments of your life."

Annan shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.

He turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped again:

"They already have nothing, what else can they lose? Next, the only thing they will lose is the shackles."

...

There was no sunlight in the early morning, and it was even colder than yesterday.

But the residents of the Golden City spontaneously came to the streets, gathered in front of the square that became the gallows, and huddled together in the cold wind.

There were blue dragons flying in the sky. The guards took the pale nobles to the gallows, put on the noose, and sentenced them to death.

Finally, it was Lord Raymond's turn. Because of his size, he even used a special thick hemp rope.

"... He killed bishops, priests, and nuns, and killed his two sons. He is sentenced to death by hanging!"

Lord Raymond's crimes are too numerous to list, and it took three minutes to read them out.

As Little Smo pronounced the verdict, the flap under his feet suddenly opened.

The falling Lord Raymond made the entire gallows tremble.

There was no surprise. Lord Raymond died more happily than other nobles.

"Adele, did you see that..."

In a corner of the stage, Wilson looked at all this and whispered.
