Chapter Thirty-Six: The Lord of Lanyu City

As soon as these words came out, the old gentleman's expression changed instantly, and his face was angry.

"Humph! Just this thing? Do you think it's that easy? ”

Forehead? What's the situation? I looked puzzled.

"Do you know why there are no young men in this village? A year ago, the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves could be heard in the village at night. The people of the village, especially the children, were so scared that they couldn't sleep at night. So the young people decided to go into the forest to find out. But who would have thought that ......" tears appeared in the old gentleman's eyes, and his voice became hoarse, "even my son...... Also went...... However, no one returned...... Didn't come back...... He...... Before leaving, I brought him a basket full of poisoned arrows, but more than ten days passed, and he did not come back. I stood at the entrance of the village and waited for ten days...... Only one person came back......"

"Did he say anything?"

"What did you say...... He said...... It's a curse...... God's curse is coming...... It is God who wants us to die, and He wants us to have no peace! He said...... Take care of the children, don't let them leave the village, and don't let non-humans in......"

Jia Lan took two steps back with a weak heart, am I not a non-human...... No wonder the people in the village were so hostile to me at the beginning, they thought of me as an enemy...... The NPCs here are so pitiful, they were actually set up by Jack with such a backstory...... In addition to the weakness of the heart, I can't help but feel a little sympathy.

"Why is there a curse?" Jia Lan thought for a long time before asking.

"Five years ago...... It's still a town with a thriving population. Under Lan Yu's leadership, this is the pride of the people. Whether it's humans or demons, they all come here to be tolerant. But one day the lord of the city went to another town and did not return...... After the lord left, the village lost its former prosperity, and people left the place one by one......

After a month, the forest outside the village began to darken, becoming day and night, and the sun could no longer be seen. Those who stayed behind began to abandon commercial farming, reclaim the land, and hunt for a living......

Until a year ago...... You know what happened next...... My poor child......" The old gentleman covered his face, tears drenching his shirt......

Jalan stood there, silent, not knowing what he was thinking......

After a while, the old gentleman calmed down, still looking sad.

"You're still there...... When people get older, they tend to think about the past. Let you see the joke......"

"You say...... Was this a town before? Your lord left five years ago and hasn't returned? Jalan's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it. Isn't this the new map that Jack is preparing to unveil for the New Year? How did you get involved with Panjin Mayor Ace......

"yes...... She's a worthy and respectful city lord! Speaking of this city lord, the old gentleman's eyes were full of respect.

"Did any of the ladies come with a cremette afterwards?" Jalan was referring to Ace.

"Ma'am? Think about it...... Yes, it seems that she was the only one who had been here that year, and it was a girl. I remember she came with something, but I don't know what it was......"

That's right, that's what it should be. This is one of the 49 mayors. I really didn't expect that a town would become like this in just a few years......

"Do you know where she's been?"

"I don't know. She had only been in a quarter of an hour since she entered. ”

"Thank you for telling me." Jia Lan is sincerely grateful.

After leaving the grocery store, Jia Lan thought carefully about Panjin City and the affairs here. Then he nodded and said to himself, "That's right! This should be one of them! So, where is the cemetery? I've been to almost all of this place, and I haven't seen any tombstones. Could it be in some hidden place? ”

It suddenly occurred to me that there are still many places that I have not found, such as: the back garden of the old gentleman in the grocery store, the vegetable patch behind the farmhouse, etc...... Could it be in such a place?

Jia Lan thought about it, it was better to wait for the night when they all slept in the secret agent.

In the evening, at six o'clock, the village fell into silence again. Jalan crept into the backyards. Wandering around, looking for the graveyard of the city lord.

After so many days of training, Jia Lan can now see ghosts without changing his face, and even attack with a smile on his face, far from the girl who ran away when she saw a rabbit a few days ago, and didn't dare to fight monsters if she didn't know what to do.

Eventually, something was found in the backyard of Lantoya's house. In an old bird's nest on a large locust tree in her backyard, there is a jar.

This Ace really chooses a place...... Jalan thought to herself, who would have thought that the urn was in a bird's nest in a tree. If it weren't for Jia Lan's real helplessness, leaning under the tree in a daze, there would not be such a discovery......

Instructed Xiao Jiu to go up and throw down the urn, and Jia Lan carefully caught it and put it on the ground. Blowing a breath blows away the dust that has been deposited for many years. Then slowly open the lid.

"Who is it? Who's coming? An ethereal voice came.

I saw a breath of air coming out of it, slowly forming a figure. Jia Lan could see what she looked like, but judging by her figure, she should be a beauty.

"City Lord, I am a citizen from Panjin City, and I came here by chance, and I overheard about you. So I came to visit late at night. Disturb your rest......" Jalan bowed deeply.

Jia Lan spent a few days with NPCs here, and gradually got used to their Wen Zou Zou's words, and also learned Wen Zou Zou's words.

"Oh, the citizens of Panjin City...... Who is the mayor of Panjin City? Ace's little girl. Is she okay now? Hearing Panjin City, the ghost's voice seemed excited.

"She's fine. Ace is now a qualified mayor, and Panjin City is thriving under her management. The citizens love this mayor! ”

"Well, it's time for that girl to grow up...... Not bad, not bad...... Haha......" The Black Shadow smiled excitedly, as if he had heard a great happy event.

Jia Lan could tell that she had a good relationship with Ace.

"City Lord, there's something I want to ask you. Mayor Ace said that you were killed collectively in Lin'an City, and Ace blamed himself very much for this, and kept complaining about himself......"

"This kid ...... It's hard for her, too. Our death was predestined, so how could we blame her. If she hadn't been playful, she might have gone with us. It's good to be alive......" I sighed as a dark shadow interrupted.

"Do you know who did it?" I asked.

"Who? I do not know. At that time, the sky suddenly became overcast, and I could only see a faint dark shadow, but it was only a blink of an eye...... Just ......"

"Kung fu in the blink of an eye? So fast? Mayor Ace said, "You are all very good...... How do you ......?" said Jia Lan and stopped.

"What about awesome? Kid, you have to remember that the key to success is to be unprepared. The moment when the enemy is most relaxed is the best moment to attack! ”
