A strange world

Chapter 1420 54. Five Missing One

In any case, Annan added Archbishop Tomac to the list of alternate judges, as well as the old ancestor.

The eldest sister mentioned a name at this time: Madeline Jenkins.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Do you know him?" Idilia asked unexpectedly.

"I don't know him. I just interrupt him so that I can look more knowledgeable." Annan was obviously in a good mood and could even make fun of himself.

"Madeline Jenkins is a famous opera singer in Middle-earth," Olmedo said on behalf of her elder sister. "If we can invite her to be a judge, we won't have to worry about the quality of 'Champion Singer'."

"Really? How could someone I don't even know be so powerful?" Annan was skeptical.

Olmedo sighed, "Martin knows everything."

"Oh, and where is this Madeline Jenkins?"

"She's in Frankstown."

"Franks City again..."

Olmedo suddenly took a deep breath and spoke rapidly: "Annan, Franks City is in the Grass Plains, the Grass Plains is in the Galant Province, and the Galant County is the eighth-ranked province of the Or Empire. The Or Empire..."

"I know the Orr Empire."

Annan interrupted Olmedo, his eyes lowered slightly: "The country that killed Broken Tooth, right?"

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became heavy. It was hard to imagine that someone in power would hate an entire empire because of the death of a soldier.

"The arrogance they impose on us will be paid back to us sooner or later..."

Annan exhaled, "Huh, let's not talk about them. Can we invite Madeline Jenkins?"

Although the opera singer was from the Auer Empire, Annan would not be prejudiced because of such a thing. There were good and bad people everywhere. He had seen the noblest...

"We have a commercial street not too far from Franks City, and we can send the caravan there."

"Can you get there in a week?"

“It’s not a big problem.”

"Then arrange it."

Annan remembered the name Madeline Jenkins: "Now we have two judges and two candidates to be selected. Do you have any recommendations?"

“How many judges do you want?”

"Five, too many and it lacks authority, too few and it's not lively enough."

Idyliya lowered her head and thought: "It is said that the song of the Siren has a fatal temptation."

"Siren?"

Annan's eyes lit up and his voice rose.

"Why are you so excited?" Olmedo glanced sideways.

"I remembered something happy." Annan was eager to try, "Do you still remember our sea friends? They..."

"no."

Annan thought that the stereotype of warlocks was in the Mage Tower and in the mouths of the nobles, but he didn't expect that the biggest prejudice was not outside, but in the Free City, right here in the City Lord's Mansion.

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Go ahead."

"I just want to ask if the sea people are interested in participating in "Champion Singer". It would be best if they could send a siren to be the judge."

"Who are you going to let go?"

"It seems that I am the only one in Liberty City who has some connection with the sea tribe..."

"I can take Biglit with me."

Olmedo sneered: "Do you think those pagans have no legends?"

It’s really troublesome that the Wealth Church has become a stepping stone before it can help.

"Forget it. I don't really want to see the Sirens, Naga guards, mermaids, clam girls, dolphin princesses, sea god's servants, etc..." Annan listed a long list like they were his own treasures.

Olmedo listened quietly to Annan's mumbling before saying, "Although you can't go, you can invite them over."

"Yeah...where is the nearest sea tribe colony?"

"There are signs of their activity in some of the southern bays."

"Then I'll write a letter... Can we open a commercial street in the sea tribe?" Annan asked whimsically.

"You first have to find a group of humans who can breathe underwater permanently, and make sure the extremely xenophobic sea tribes don't attack them."

"Forget it, just add it to the memo first."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I have a question," Olmedo suddenly said, "The sirens' voices have magical powers. Is it fair to allow them to participate?"

"Singing is their innate talent. We can't take it away, right?"

Annan is thinking long-term. "Champion Singer" is just a starting point. There will be more and more competitions in the future, such as football competitions, and even freestyle pickle games...

It is not fair to force all races to start from the same starting line.

"Then how do we deal with contestants like sirens, warlocks, and wizards who can use magic to enhance their singing voices and influence the audience?"

"In addition to audience votes, don't we also have judges' votes?" That's what the judges do.

Olmedo is fine.

Now they have three judges and are still short of two.

"How about adding Faro?" Annan suggested.

"The Truman Show" has been released for nearly half a month. In addition to the family-friendly theme that attracted families to the theater, the golden gold nuggets fell into Annan's pocket, and Faro Barros's reputation was reversed.

It is true that Faro Barros was a plaything of the nobility for more than a decade, but most people don't know it. Even if they know it, they read it in newspapers from other places.

That dark life not only did not damage Faro Barros's reputation, but made him even more legendary.

Look, an imprisoned, performing King of the North is so similar to Truman who has been watched by the audience for thirty years!

After all, people are always willing to associate actors with roles.

He had the fame the judges required, and he also had the relevance—Faro Barros had sung for many princes and nobles.

This leaves only one candidate, but it's best to choose an outsider.

Annan couldn't think of a suitable person for a moment, so he looked out the window, left it to his eldest sister and Olmedo, and went to Aunt Susan's house for dinner.

"Come back early." The eldest sister advised.

"knew."

Soon, Annan, Aunt Susan, Uncle Hollin, and Martin's family of three sat at the dining table.

Aunt Susan brought the steaming hot food, and Annan pressed the mashed potatoes with a spoon and hollowed out the middle to hold the broth.

At one point, he suddenly asked, "Martin, who is Madeleine Jenkins?"

"Madeleine Jenkins, formerly known as Irene Witherspoon, is from the United Kingdom of Antalya. She was born in Rust Alley, a poor area in Silver City. At the age of eight, she was discovered by the Silver Hand Opera House for her clear voice and received classical vocal training. At the age of twelve, she became famous for her performance of "The Corridor of Eternal Night" and was hailed as the Silver Star, famous throughout the country. At the age of sixteen, she went to the Or Empire to perform with the opera troupe and was noticed by the Two-Faced Count. In order to have a better life, Irene Witherspoon stayed in the Or Empire and changed her name to Madeleine Jenkins. The people of the United Kingdom of Antalya therefore regarded her as a traitor."

Clang——

The spoon in Annan's hand fell to the ground.

“Damn it…”
