A strange world

Chapter 1422 56. Foreign Aid and Spending Money

In the last few days of December 1002 of the Saint Laurent calendar, Annan met with officials who had rushed back from the city of Franks.

"Madeleine Jenkins declined your invitation and said..."

"What else?"

"And..."

The official couldn't open his mouth. Annan leaned back on the sofa and asked Olmedo, "Ol, why didn't I know that Liberty City still allows stutterers to be officials?"

Olmedo said calmly, "Did she say something nasty?"

"She said Lord Annan was ignorant and that he had no time to play house with us..."

Olmedo's brow furrowed.

"We should have no grudge against that woman..." Annan was also confused.

Could it be that the magic image was causing damage to her business?

But had she slept for several months and didn't know that she was the Holy Child of the Church of Wealth?

Dare to talk to me like this, isn't she afraid that she will never make money again?

“What else did Madeline Jenkins say?” Olmedo asked.

"No, she asked her men to escort me out afterwards. But I am from Liberty City, how can I let you down?"

Annan's eyes lit up: "You slapped her?"

"I walked out on my own!"

Annan laughed angrily.

He wanted to try again and give Madeline Jenkins a chance, but then the news came back that Madeline Jenkins would join the Opera Contest.

The news was not obtained from the commercial street, but was published in the Art Newspaper.

This news not only makes the "Opera Contest" more important, but also makes the "Champion Singer" seem lonely and weak - even though it has the largest number of applicants.

Seeing that many opera singers, whose names he could not even remember but who had distinguished themselves, expressed their intention to join the Opera Competition, Santa Clara City became the talk of the town, and he could only sit back and watch his creative ideas being reaped by others.

"It was obviously me who came here first... Whether it was the concept or the competition system of the singing competition, I was the first to invent them... But why is this happening?"

Annan went from mumbling to himself in despair to gradually showing a fierce look:

"Olmedo, do you think that if I sneak into Santa Clara City and drop the summoning crystal, will people suspect me?"

"Not really..."

Olmedo sighed, saying that after all, they were too young and inexperienced, and had forgotten that there was an art capital.

Holding the "Champion Singer" competition is equivalent to them reaching out to the table in Santa Clara City... This is no different from other forces holding the "Best Magic Image Competition".

From this point of view, Olmedo can still understand the city of Santa Clara.

But if understanding were useful, there wouldn’t be so many disputes in the world.

Outsiders will only see that Liberty City lost to Santa Clara City, but once the prejudice is established, it will take dozens of times more effort to change it...

"We have to find a replacement, and one who is on par with Madeline Jenkins." Thinking of this, Annan said solemnly.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, Madeline Jenkins"

"Again, even if she seeks fame, she is still the most famous opera singer in Middle-earth."

"Throw dirty water on her?"

"It's too late to splash it."

"Kidnap her?"

"Are you afraid that others won't doubt us?"

"Use benefits to lure them over?"

"Are you willing?"

Annan shook his head, then pondered: "How about we ask Madeline Jenkins' former employer?"

"You mean the United Kingdom of Antalya?"

It is certainly a coincidence that Madeline Jenkins was born in this country, but it also shows that there is fertile soil for art there.

Olmedo thought it was worth a try.

…

Francois was ordered to go to the Silver City of the United Kingdom of Antalya.

Standing at the entrance of the Silver Hand Opera House, Francois looked up at the monastery-style opera house - behind it was actually the guardian church.

No wonder the people of the United Kingdom of Antalya are so upset about Madeleine... or Irene Witherspoon's betrayal. Not only did she betray her country, she also betrayed the church, a church whose creed was loyalty and protection.

Francois, who was standing at the door, was quickly noticed by the theater guards. After he introduced himself, he was led to the office of the current head of the Silver Hand Opera House.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Knock knock knock——

"Come in."

A concise and powerful female voice penetrated the door, and the guard pushed open the wooden door and stepped aside.

"I'm Rachel Flores, agent of the Silver Hand Opera House, and a guest of Liberty City. What brings you all the way here?"

Sitting behind the oak desk was a woman with long platinum hair, wearing silver armor tempered by holy flames. The most eye-catching thing was the dragon skin gloves on her hands - bright red in color, with fine scales, taken from a red dragon.

There is no doubt that this is a paladin, and a powerful and high-ranking officer.

Francois put his hand on his heart: "I'm here for Madeline Jenkins."

“Who is Madeline Jenkins?”

Francois was slightly stunned: "It's Irene Witherspoon."

The emerald eyes of the female paladin behind the oak desk suddenly turned cold: "This name is not welcome here. If you offend me, please leave."

"You misunderstood. I came here to ask you to deal with her."

The paladin named Rachel Flores stood up with a calm expression and stared at Francois for a few seconds.

"Dear guest who has come from afar, could you please explain in detail?"

…
