Chapter 597 Simmons's Madness
The sea enchantress Hedrin has returned to the Storm Sea.
According to the hunter Xize, the kingdom of Atlantis will reappear on the continent.
Anno had heard this name several times before.
Today, the only natural barrier between the Kingdom of Nigar and the Storm Sea is the Ai'er Mountains.
Although the fighting power of sea creatures will be weakened when they go ashore.
But there's no guarantee that the sea creatures of Atlantis might cross the Aier Mountains and attack the Kingdom of Nigar.
Therefore, when Anno left, he left behind ten high-level summons in Gruul Town: the Frost Emperor Crocodile, two Dragon Scorpions, and seven other Tier 7 magical beasts.
Meanwhile, Anno also had Ella take Athena, Adelaide, the octopus-man Diul, the pig-headed man Samoro, and Elena back to Khalkha.
This time, Anno brought Troy and the others back to the royal city via the teleportation array.
Accompanying them were Xue Feibai and others, as well as the "Investigator" team led by Steinbeck.
With Kuro dead, Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang will definitely return to the royal city to mourn him.
When they learned that Anno also possessed a small teleportation array, they were all shocked.
Only then did they understand why Anno had been able to arrive so quickly.
The fact that Anno was able to lead them along this path shows that Anno has completely accepted Troy and the others as his own people.
When the group returned to the royal city, they were immediately detected by Leimens, the royal guard in the palace.
When Anno returned to the royal city, the first thing he saw was Leimens waiting above the palace.
"Your eyes?"
Leimens frowned as he looked at Anno's somewhat strange left and right eyes.
"It's alright!"
Anno offered no explanation.
Lemens didn't press further, but gestured with his right hand, saying, "His Majesty the King has been waiting for your news."
Led by Lemons, Anno and his group arrived at the council hall.
Meanwhile, Simmons, Tester, and Selena all received messages from their subordinates.
Tester and Selena immediately headed towards the council chamber.
"Anno's back? Tester went to see his father too?"
Simmons' eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at the void creatures in the room, a maniacal smile spreading across his lips. "Perfect," he said, "the opportunity has arrived!"
When the Void creature Drese saw Simmons looking over, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, didn't you say before that your father always had a powerful eighth-tier warrior guarding him every step of the way?"
As a mere sixth-tier cultivator, the chances of me succeeding in assassination are extremely low.
Why not wait a while? We'll find an opportunity eventually!
When hunting, you must be patient!
"You're afraid of Lemons, but aren't you afraid of my guards?"
Simmons snorted coldly, and a figure shrouded in black robes instantly appeared behind Dreiser, a dagger pressed against the latter's neck.
Simmons was afraid of dying, so he always kept a level 7 thief by his side to protect him.
If it weren't for this guard, Simmons would have been killed by Dreiser when he opened Pandora.
Seeing the fear on Dreiser's face, Simmons said coldly, "You are the one I released from this box."
I know you have the ability to appear and disappear without a trace, but you seem unable to leave this box.
Either leave the box behind, and you take advantage of Anno's visit to my father to kill him and frame Anno.
"Or I'll kill you right now."
Pandora cannot be stored in storage equipment, nor can she enter the void like Draiser.
So Dreiser has been with Pandora ever since he came out.
Simmons assigned a high-ranking guard, Dreiser, or rather, a guard over Pandora.
Therefore, Dracer had no chance of escaping at all—of course, if it were willing to abandon Pandora, it could easily escape by entering the void alone.
But Pandora is not just a magical artifact, it is even better than one!
Dreiser will not abandon Pandora unless absolutely necessary.
This has resulted in the sixth-order Draiser currently obeying Simmons's orders.
The king was previously corrupted by the Void, and it was Draese who secretly did it.
However, ever since the king's accident, Lemens has stayed by his side.
When Lemons was resting, he would have two seventh-rank confidants take his place.
Dreiser had absolutely no chance.
But today, Simmons couldn't wait any longer.
He planned to have Dreiser assassinate the king while Anno was meeting with him.
If successful, Simmons will immediately brand Anno as a traitor to the monarchy.
If Dreiser fails... Simmons could also say that Dreiser is Anno's summoned creature, wanting to assassinate the king.
Anyway, Anno is a monster.
His subordinates are monsters too!
Anno couldn't deny that Dreiser wasn't his summoned creature.
In any case, with the king assassinated, Anno, who was present at the scene, will be suspected.
"Father, are you becoming increasingly dissatisfied with me?"
As the heir to the throne, why don't you just pass the position to me?
So don't blame me, you forced me to do this!
Simmons watched as Dreiser reluctantly handed Pandora to him and then vanished into thin air, a slightly manic smile appearing on his face.
Meanwhile, the seventh-tier peak thief beside Simmons also disappeared the moment Drese vanished into the void.
However, he remained vigilant, wary of any potential backstabbing from Dreiser.
Virtual space.
Dreiser looked at the unsuspecting Simmons and wished he could rush over and kill him right then and there.
However, when he thought about the high-level thief in the main space, he had no choice but to give up.
"Pandora must not be left to the human race; we must complete this human task first."
"If I prepare in advance, even if I fail, as long as I'm fast enough to enter the void before the eighth-order being can react, I can survive!"
......
Council Chamber!
After Anno met the king, he bowed and got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I have good news and bad news."
