Chapter 129: Condolence (15/20)
“…… All the heroes who died in the 1077 year of the Elysian Calendar and the mutated pack beast incident in Duran City are immortal! All the heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect the Elysian Land and mankind for the past three hundred years are immortal! From this back to 10777, since the invasion of the Abyss, all the heroes who died in all the battles in order to fight against the Abyss and defend humanity are immortal!
(That's right, this paragraph was modified with reference to the inscription on the Monument to the People's Heroes...... In order to oppose internal and external enemies and strive for national independence and the freedom and happiness of the people, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the previous struggles are immortal!)
On the rostrum in the center of the square, Councillor Cai read out his condolence speech. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, there were many people in Duran City, who gathered in the city square, the streets around the square, and the rooftops......
Although it was morning, as if to match the atmosphere of Duran City, the haze in the air did not dissipate, and the depressing feeling that made people feel stuffy in the chest also lingered in the air.
A new monument has been erected in the square, and before that there were already eleven monuments that had been standing in the square for an unknown number of years......
The largest of them is the middle one, and it has the most names on it, these are the names of the professionals and ordinary people who sacrificed during the construction of Duran City in order to defend the heart of protection and fight against the endless stream of abyssal creatures!
The city of Duran was built in the middle of a promised land in modern times, that is, in three hundred years......
Even so, since the city was founded, there have been no fewer than ten deaths in this attack......
The pure black monument made Guan Liyuan also feel depressed, this mutant pack beast attack, as well as Liu Qing's death, made Guan Liyuan more intuitively understand that the "happy land" for human survival in the main world is how much flesh and blood is poured.
Until the "celebration" time in the afternoon, Guan Liyuan still couldn't adjust his mentality, and under the pretext that the injury had not healed, he went home to rest first...... Of course, it's Zhongli's home.
"En?" Guan Liyuan was walking on the road, and suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, he found that it was Zhong Liqiu and Wei Yingying.
"Why are you back?" asked Guan Liyuan.
"You're not the only one injured!" Zhongli Qiu glanced at him and touched the position between his chest and abdomen.
Indeed, she was directly hit by the main arm of the Demon Root because of the backlash attack of the "Tiger Blood Boiling" and the loss of the professional power of the "Holy Tiger Fighter......
The three of them walked together in the direction of Zhongli's mansion, and there was a rare silence on the road, and they didn't take the opportunity to gossip or slander Dongfang Win's X orientation behind their backs......
Turning the last corner, Guan Liyuan saw a person standing in the middle of the street - most of the citizens who are idle now should be in the square......
"Well, Uncle Qi?" Guan Liyuan said in surprise after seeing the person who came.
That's right, standing in the middle of the street, as if waiting for them, was Wei Yingying's father, Wei Qi.
At this time, Wei Qi had already taken off the dark coat he had worn during the condolences before, and was still wearing a loose white robe as usual, with slightly naturally curly long hair hanging down, and a pair of squinting eyes as if they would never open......
"Father, are you back too?" Wei Yingying wondered.
"Seeing you come back so early, I'm here to see you. Wei Qi said.
"Uncle Qi, Liyuan and I are a little uncomfortable, that's why I ......" Zhong Liqiu wanted to explain something.
"Come with me, take a walk! Professionals are injured, and they need to exercise moderately to get better quickly!" Wei Qi said, turning around.
Compared with Zhong Liqiu, Zhong Liqiu was more in awe of Wei Qi, who was usually unsmiling, and the three of them followed when they heard this.
"Actually, I don't feel comfortable in my heart, right?" asked Wei Qi without looking back.
"......" Guan Liyuan and the three of them were silent when they heard this, but they did not say anything.
"The first time I did that, it was when the eighth monument was erected in Duran City...... After the condolence meeting, I couldn't calmly attend the afternoon celebration and left with Ah Yao...... At that time, we couldn't understand why those professionals who had just lost their companions could still celebrate their 'victory' with peace of mind......" Wei Qi began to talk about his memories to himself.
It was an abyssal creature siege, the most "common" city-level disaster, and the list of heroes at that time included Zhong Liqian, who often took care of a beginner professional, Wei Qi's garrison chief, and a supply point guardian who knew them well!
“…… However, don't forget that there is another title for human beings!" Wei Qi suddenly stopped and turned around.
The serious tone made Guan Liyuan and the three of them stop their steps.
"Professionals are the warriors and guardians of mankind, and they are also the light of hope for mankind! If even we are indulged in sorrow and despair, should ordinary people cover themselves in the quilt and cry every day?"
"Uncle Qian, we ......"
"I hope that next time, even if my name is written on the monument, you will be able to tell everyone with your own actions...... Humanity has not fallen into despair, it can still fight against the abyss, and it can continue to protect everyone and Duran City!" Wei Qi said in a resolute tone.
Seeing that Guan Liyuan and the three of them were silent, Wei Qi also calmed down his tone a bit: "Besides, killing the three Abyss Lords at least once this time is already one of the few victories in all the records of Duran City...... For ordinary people, it is better to only know that three Abyss Lords have been killed than to further understand that 'it will not be long before two more Abyss Lords will make up'. ”
Guan Liyuan also knew that this time, in addition to the Demon Root Lord of Hanging Dragon Ditch, there was also a lord-level stitching monster and a lord-level bull-headed centipede, all of which were also involved in this attack, and they all died on the outskirts of Duran City......
The councillors and the heads of the families also roughly guessed that this should be an order and punishment from the "King of Fear...... Otherwise, it would be impossible for three Abyss Lords to brainstorm at the same time!
"Three Abyss Lords...... Is it a good record?" Guan Liyuan wondered.
"Yes, at least in the Promised Land. Wei Qi said.
It's not that Guan Liyuan doesn't read much this time, in fact, Zhong Liqiu and Wei Yingying also have the same doubts!
In the past, they only knew that the Abyss Lord was equivalent to a high-level human professional, like in Duran City, every time an Abyss Lord was killed, they had to write about it......
They were not professionals before, so they didn't think deeply about the reason, and occasionally people asked their mentors, but they often didn't get a positive answer......
But now that I think about it, I feel more and more weird, since the Abyss Lord is equivalent to a high-level professional, even if it is stronger than a high-level professional, it can't be the opponent of a super-level professional, right?
If the purpose is really to kill the Abyss Lord, just let Dean Lin and Councilor Cai go directly, wouldn't they be able to sweep the territories of several nearby Abyss Lords?
Facing Guan Liyuan's question, Wei Qi hesitated slightly, and then explained: "Well, since Liyuan and Qiu are both beginner professionals now, I can also tell you something......
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but get a little nervous.
"Do you know why the abyssal creatures in the 'Promised Land' are always unkillable?" Wei Qi asked.
"Because abyssal creatures can ......multiply quickly as long as the environmental conditions are sufficient," Zhong Liqiu said, which is also the answer of the universal version.
"It's also to make beginner and mid-level professionals stronger faster, right?" Guan Liyuan speculated.
If you really kill all the abyss minions and elite soldiers in the Promised Land on a regular basis to an endangered state, where will the "newcomers" go to level up? What will happen in ten or twenty years?
"That's right...... But it is limited to abyssal creatures that are at the Abyss Commander level and below!How rare are abyssal creatures that can reach the lord level when they reach adulthood?How can they breed without limitation...... As for the promotion of inferior abyssal creatures to the lord level, it will take a long time and opportunities, how can they not be killed? Although border isolation cannot be considered foolproof, but ...... Could it be that the warriors of the eight border cities would let so many Abyss Lords in?"
Listening to Wei Qi's words, Guan Liyuan and the three of them also focused their attention...... Indeed, this is also where they can't figure it out!
