Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lady Who Came Home
After many years, Sophia Russell is back at home. He didn't look around, his expression was flat, as if he had just come to a post station.
Outside the high walls, servants stood in a row and waited for a long time. When they saw the eldest lady, they bowed their heads and said hello.
"Dear Sophia, you're finally back, come and show your father," a bald old man in a gorgeous costume came out of the door, and when he saw Sophia's face was not good, he quietly hid the hugging gesture behind his back and stood with his hands in his hands.
The person who came was none other than the supreme ruler of Rock Wall, the mayor of the town, Bami Russell.
"Father, long time no see. The eldest lady's expression softened slightly, bowed lightly, and said lightly.
"Okay, good, after going outside for so many years, I have finally learned a skill. The old man squinted slightly and nodded approvingly, "The wild girl back then, she was so generous and decent, that decision was really right." ”
"Father, a few polite words, as for making you so happy, or am I so unbearable?" Sophia did not follow the mayor's words, and opened her mouth to talk to death.
The scene fell silent, and the heads of the servants were lowered.
"Alas, you still hate me after all. Blame me, if it weren't for the original decision, your mother would still ......" Barmy Russell turned his face sideways and whispered, from this angle, his body was rickety, and he seemed to be even older.
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding audience quickly retreated into the house in an orderly manner, leaving only the father and daughter to talk alone.
"Now that I think about it, I can understand your decision to advance to the town level despite your mother's objections. After going out for so many years, I have seen a lot of things, and I can understand that the rules of this world are that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle!" Sophia turned and faced the low buildings of the town, "The idyllic scenery of the village is just an illusion. In those years, the instability of the higher city-states, if a small village stagnated, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up by others immediately. ”
"Daughter, you can think so, that's great, hard work for the father......"
"But I still can't forgive the damage you did to your mother in order to advance to the town level, what's wrong with her? Why do you have to bear all that hardship for you? Also, what are you doing now with the town you got at such a great cost?Will you be the mayor of the town?" Sophia didn't buy it, and interrupted coldly.
"The situation is complicated, and it is difficult to explain in one word, but I must admit that your words are right, the current situation in Rock Wall Town must be my poor management. Alas, there was once an excellent young man who came into my field of vision, and I worked hard to cultivate it, but that guy was too ambitious, bold, and colluded with bandits to harm the village. It's an embarrassing task. ”
"Then why are you still keeping him?
"As a father, managing a village may be the limit, so I need to use his ambition, ability, and connections at the top to maintain superficial stability. If the chaos beneath the surface is the price, I admit it. At least until you get back. ”
"Hmph, that Chesky, does his background make you so jealous? Don't be surprised, do you think I'd go to a strange place without doing my research?"
"Strange? How can Rock Wall Town be a strange place? When this is still a village, our family ...... here."
"What about Mother?"
"Don't ...... what has happened"
"What about the mother who tidded a wreath of flowers in the field for me, the mother who filled the plate in front of me with fried beans for dinner, the mother who told me the story of the battle of the beasts before going to bed? Father, I walked all the way to the gates of Rock Cliff, and there was no place to remember her. Sophia's words went from excitement to cold calm, like a fire burning in the snow.
Barmy Russell fell silent as he pulled out the hem of his satin coat and found no pockets or cigarettes.
He remembered that he hadn't smoked since Sophia's mother died.
===============================
Minna took two members of the town guard to the scene of the fight before Lin Pan. Faced with the corpse of the innocent passer-by who had died tragically, her face was pale and her eyebrows jumped. The two young players were even more unbearable, and they squatted directly on the side of the road and retched.
"It's so bad, can anyone tell me what's going on?"
After asking this, Minna saw Bender not far behind Lin Pan, stepped forward quickly, ignored Lin Pan and asked with concern: "Brother Bende, are you okay? You are also at the scene? Who did it? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine, the poor man is Akai...... No, strictly speaking, it was killed by the ghost soldiers transformed by Akai. ”
The word "ghost soldier!?" seemed to have a special effect in the town guards, and both Minna and the two young men drew their weapons and started the battle and leaned over, as if facing a great enemy.
"Don't worry, the matter of the ghost soldiers has been settled. Lin Pan said that he told Akai and the thorny dragon again, but replaced the protagonist with his brother.
In fact, with Lin Pan's current strength, the town guard is only ranked below Chesky, and it can be high-profile.
It's just that he doesn't like that, especially when he has just crossed over and his strength is low. Unlike some cross-cutting male protagonists who slap their faces all the way to upgrade, speak self-respectingly, walk all the wilderness, and are extremely arrogant, if that kind of person is replaced by reality, he doesn't know how many times he has died.
"According to you, is Akai too arrogant and devoured by a high-level Pan beast?" But Minna was somewhat skeptical of Lin Pan's statement.
Above the "house" level rock beast is the "camp" level rock beast, which is equivalent in size to three to five house level rock beasts. It is usually developed by a house-level pan beast devouring a peer-level rock beast, and is very common in mature town-level territory.
The camp-level Pan Beast is theoretically a "Thorn Dragon" that can devour Akai in an instant, but the development time of Yanbi Town is still short, and there is a shortage of resources, and there are only three camp-level Pan Beasts in total, and they are all old antiques that don't ask about mundane things and live for a long time.
Not to mention that Akai killed a passerby, even if Akai demolished the rock wall town and destroyed the old rock turtle in the rock wall town, these old antiques will not blink.
"I don't know, that person may have said something unpleasant in his mouth, and inadvertently touched some taboos of the other party, right?" Lin Pan suddenly felt that an old saying made sense, when you casually tell a lie, you have to use ten times, a hundred times the lie to round it.
Minna was still skeptical, but both Brother Bender and Kunde insisted that it was the devouring of the camp-level Rock Beast, and if he thought that Brother Bender would not lie, then he wrote a report like this.
"Hey, you two, are you warming up?" Minna waved her hand at the two young team members on the corner who had just finished throwing up, and said something that made them fall into the abyss, "Clean up that puddle of flesh and blood from the ground." ”
