A strange world

Chapter 1432 66. Olmedo's Confession

"Congratulations on the great success of the upcoming "Everyone Singer". Cheers!"

In the banquet hall, Annan raised his glass.

Officials from Liberty City, Annan's friends, Aunt Susan's family, and Renato and others were all at the New Year's party.

“May the final championship belong to us!”

"May Liberty City prosper!"

"I hope Annan can grow taller!"

Annan glared at Luoxi instantly.

Crash——

A figure was thrown out of the open window.

Luo Xi climbed up from the nursery, picked up the helmet that had rolled to the side, and muttered, "If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Why do you have to do anything..."

The guards guarding the city lord's palace rushed over upon hearing the noise, but they only saw their own legion commander brushing the dirt off his armor.

"Lord Losey, what are you doing?"

"Oh, act out where you would escape if the murderer were to assassinate you." Luo Xi pointed around and said, "Don't worry about me."

"Yes, sir."

…

Annan is spending his fifth year in Allen's world.

It's a pity that he just came to this world five years ago and was still a person from another world who couldn't even speak the common language...

The banquet was very lively with guests toasting each other.

But Annan always felt that something was missing.

Friend?

The elf mentor was looking after the princess with a sullen face, and Dad was nowhere to be seen. The wine lady was talking to the winter lady who had returned for the festival...

Why are they all women?

Annan looked for Francois and saw him dressed as a woman dancing with Cathy.

Looking away, I saw Suni and Xianna pulling Siren to drink... huh?

Annan confirmed that he was not mistaken. It was indeed Suni and the Siren who were feeding Xianna with wine, distilled liquor.

He was very happy that the Siren found friends here, and he was also happy that Suni found a second hobby besides sleeping.

Elder?

Mr. Victor and Archbishop Tomac sat together, seemingly talking about something related to themselves, and glanced at him from time to time.

Or family?

Aunt Susan held Idyllia's hand, as if praising her elder sister's skin. Laila was nowhere to be seen, and it was easy to guess where she went...

Annan remembered what was missing.

He walked out of the banquet hall.

Coming to the slightly cool outdoors, Annan took the magic musket from the guard.

Luo Xi, who had just reached the main entrance, suddenly widened his eyes and tiptoed to the corner.

Although he didn't think Lord Annan would be so angry as to kill him...but what if?

Bang--

Gunshots rang out above the City Lord's Mansion. Annan was shrouded in smoke. He took a deep breath. The familiar smell made him smile with satisfaction.

That's right.

Returning to the banquet, the gunshots did not interrupt the lively atmosphere.

But there is one person missing.

Annan looked around, lifted the tablecloth in confusion, looked at his feet again, confirmed that Olmedo was really missing, and went to ask a maid who was passing by.

"Master Olmedo seems to be on the terrace..."

Annan looked over and saw a looming figure.

He put down the juice and said, "Got it, get busy."

…

Olmedo looked at the starry sky, the sparkling sea, the bustling streets, leaned against the guardrail alone, enjoying the evening breeze, tranquility, and solitude.

"Do you miss your father?"

A voice broke the atmosphere from behind.

"I……"

Olmedo gave up lying: "Yeah."

Annan walked up to her and found that even if he stood up straight, he was still shorter than Olmedo who was leaning against the guardrail...

"It doesn't matter, you still have me."

"Are you addicted to being a father?" Olmedo glanced at Annan who was standing on tiptoe.

Annan couldn't help but look back at Colette, who was sitting in a corner of the banquet like a good girl, and said helplessly: "You know that's not what I meant."

"I'm fine, I just want some quiet time."

"It is impossible for a person to be quiet if he wants to be quiet."

Olmedo was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Everything that happened in Liberty City is impacting my understanding of the past twenty years. I have to try to get used to it and keep up with it."

Annan heard a strong sense of loss in Olmedo's tone.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Don't be silly. We are where we are today thanks to you. Liberty City can't do without you, just like Montreal can't do without the emperor."

Olmedo chuckled and stood up straight.

Now Annan's tiptoeing was of no use.

She lowered her head, and looked into the pair of mysterious black eyes under the moonlight: "...Annan, my dream is to turn Liberty City into a magnificent city."

"You'll help me, won't you?"

Annan responded: “Isn’t that what we built it for?”

Olmedo's disappointment at the beginning of the new year was resolved by Annan.

After returning to the banquet, Olmedo went to find Ingrid. No doubt they were going to talk about serious matters again.

Annan went back to get the juice and found that the cup was still there, but the juice inside was gone, and there was an obvious lip mark on the rim of the cup.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the guests - especially pausing on the elf mentor, the Black Widow.

At this time, Saint Leia, who pushed Archbishop Tomac over, left him no time to pursue the matter.

They performed the church ceremony and Annan returned the ceremony.

"Holy Son, the church has announced to the believers that you are the spokesperson for the lady. Now all that remains is the baptism under witness."

After talking with Archbishop Tomac for half a month, Annan knew what baptism was: at that time, bishops of the Fortune Church from all over the world would come to Liberty City, and then the baptism would be performed under their witness, officially announcing the identity of the Son of God.

"Let's wait until after the competition is over."

It is obvious that "All People's Singer" will take up a lot of Annan's time in the next month.

Archbishop Tomac nodded: "As the Son sees."

"Annan, are you there?"

Annan was startled by the sudden sound in his ear. He apologized to the archbishop: "I'm going to answer a phone call, uh...communication."

He hurried to the terrace and took out the leaf of the World Tree that had been silent for almost a year.

"Teddle..."

"Happy New Year." Taidel's voice rang out.

"Thank you, you too."

Both sides of the World Tree's leaves fell silent at the same time - mainly because Annan didn't know what to say.

"I have something to ask you."

It seems that Tedal contacted me for a purpose, but it seems that I am always like this?

"Will the learned elf elder actually ask me questions?"

Annan pretended to be relaxed, but Taidel had no desire to chat: "Why do the leaves of the Liberty City deposit slips look like the leaves of the World Tree?"

Even though he was well prepared, Annan's heart still skipped a beat.

He kept his voice steady so that Taidel wouldn't notice anything unusual.

"It's just that I happened to find a sapling of an ancient tree in the wild, so I brought it back to Liberty City to plant it."

"But it's very much like..."

"Are there always coincidences in this world? Or do the elves think that there is a second world tree on the continent of Allen, and I am using it as a consumable?" Annan said in a deliberately joking tone.

The elves discovered it faster than we thought... No matter what, we have to delay it as long as possible.
