Chapter 333 Going South
Annan's smuggling process went very smoothly.
This time the stowaway was temporarily arranged by Roderick, but for the sake of his allies, he carried out the most advanced configuration, and because it was not far from the Republic of Solbia, he successfully arrived in one night. destination.
Annan advanced by sea, and the smuggling and smuggling channels related to the Nares Gang were basically at sea.
"It's a quiet, small coastal city."
Annan got off the boat at a deserted stone beach just before the sun was about to rise.
Here, Roderick has also made arrangements. Someone has come to welcome Annan's arrival and arrange his future residence.
After that, Annan will act alone, and other helpers arranged by Roderick will be on standby at any time.
Annan decided on a suitable place to stay, a small hotel that was not high-end but was located in a good security area. He probably wouldn't live here too often, but the girl he brought needed to be well protected.
It’s true that Beatrice has a certain ability to protect herself. She can escape into the other world when faced with enemies she really can’t handle. But that is the worst situation that must be avoided, so it is better to place this girl in a safe place. place, which will also facilitate your future actions.
Annan didn't sleep much when he came over on the smuggling boat at sea. He rested in the hotel until noon, and then went out alone.
The Republic of Solbia, like Matatek, was a colony conquered by the Banxi Empire, which was the maritime overlord at the time. Therefore, the main language used here is also Banxi. There is no problem in communication. One person There will be no obstacles to getting out.
Annan naturally did some research before coming to this small seaside city. He did not forcefully pretend to be a tourist. This was not a famous tourist attraction. Considering what he had to do in the future, he still tried his best. It's better to be more natural.
"So, can we find someone?"
If things don't go well next for Annan, he will consider whether to contact the underground forces here through Roderick's channels, and then pay them to work for him.
Of course, this is not the best choice. If possible, don't alert others and don't let anyone know that you have been here.
Annan's current identity on the surface is very clean, rather, he has a bright future. Matatek and Solbia are visa-free, so he doesn't actually need to come here secretly.
The reason why he chose to cross the border illegally instead of coming here through normal procedures was to distance himself from the relationship and avoid attracting attention to himself.
Something big might happen here, or he might cause some problems. It would be bad if someone found out that he had traveled abroad and came here.
The white knight is right next to him. Those white knights who are a little bit suspicious might really notice.
"Last time, we failed to hold a black magic course about the abyss. Now that I think about it, it's actually a good thing."
Annan had a fever and wanted to imitate the sound of the abyss, but failed in the end.
If he had succeeded then, his real-life identity might have been discovered.
After all, there are members of the White Knights in the academy. Things related to the Abyss have happened before in reality. Soon after, someone in the academy gave a lecture on black magic about the Abyss. If there is no relationship between the two sides, there is indeed no evidence. It does matter, but the White Knight might actually react.
If those white knights investigate seriously and really interrogate Annan in all aspects, they may accidentally expose their secrets.
"Someone told me, don't underestimate the White Knight think tanks. Those extremely suspicious guys will sometimes resort to any means to directly attack. Once it is related to black magic, even if the target is the head of state, there is evidence. Next, the White Knight will act without hesitation."
Annan knows that in the past, the White Knights organization has been corrupted and degenerated. This is a common problem that many organizations that have lasted for a long time cannot avoid. However, the current White Knights have become another extreme.
In the most extreme period of the White Knights, they even became synonymous with some kind of terror, both for the general public and those related to black magic.
As for now, the White Knights have a very good reputation. After thoroughly implementing modern management, they know how to advertise and promote themselves. In fact, they have taken practical actions and made many sacrifices.
However, the extreme aspect of the White Knights group against black magic is not much different from before. It is just hidden and the number of attacks has been reduced.
The secrets about these white knights that are unknown to outsiders come from the mouth of a former elite white knight. Even if the other party exaggerates slightly, it is worthy of belief.
"White knights can be used, because they really will not let go of the existence of black magic, but they must carefully consider how to use it, and never let the white knight's too blazing heart of justice burn themselves. This time , can it be used?"
Annan doesn't want to go abroad for too long if he can. Although the White Knight is indeed not looking for him now, it does not mean that there will be no accidents. In the short term, he can still use some prepared responses to cover up his absence, but if it takes too long , problems will always be discovered.
"Okay, this is the center of the city. According to the last secret letter, it should be here."
Annan, wearing a peaked cap, walked slowly on the street, paying attention to the situation in all directions.
If the previous notification letter was really a trap, something might happen to him at any time.
Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary, this was not a trap.
Because, in the small restaurant in front, he saw an acquaintance whom he had not seen for a while.
Anna, a female mercenary dressed simply, was sitting inside.
Although the other party's appearance has become completely different, and he obviously has special makeup, this cannot be hidden from An Nan.
As soon as Annan saw that figure, his inspiration came to him, and he immediately knew that the other person was the person he was looking for.
So, he pretended to have an appointment, walked into the restaurant in a natural manner, and sat down opposite the female mercenary.
"Yo."
Annan smiled and said hello.
"You're really here..."
The female mercenary nodded as usual, and it was completely invisible that she was actually surprised.
"But why do you still look like this? At least wear a pair of glasses."
The female mercenaries had originally agreed to use some code words or gestures to confirm each other's identities, but now that they saw the face opposite them, there was no need to confirm anything at all.
"It doesn't matter. There shouldn't be any modern surveillance in this small city, and no one will find out."
The old god Annan is here.
He even waved to the waiter and ordered for himself.
"Let's finish our meal first and then find a suitable place to talk about the rest."
