No. 581 Selling fame and reputation
Hearing the girl's words, the old woman looked up at Xia Nuo, and with a look of gratitude on her face, she came to her tremblingly, and with a bend of her knees, she was about to kneel down in front of her.
"Grandma, you don't have to do this."
Xia Nuo's hands and eyes were quick, and he had already taken the first step to help the old woman up, and said with a smile: "Do it with your hands, don't take it too seriously." ”
"This guest from a foreign country."
At this moment, an old and deep voice sounded, Xia Nuo turned his head to look, the white-haired old man sitting behind the long table, was looking at himself, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm Gantt, the mayor of this town, and I'm here to thank you on behalf of Thea and Leah, but while it's rude to say that at this point, I hope you'll get out of here after dawn tomorrow."
"Mayor Mare?"
The two girls raised their heads at the same time and screamed.
"The old man doesn't want to do that."
The old mayor raised his right hand, sighed, stopped the words of the two girls, and then looked at Xia Nuo and said, "But after all, this is related to the lives of everyone in the town, and please understand more." ”
"It's fine to leave, but you'll have to tell me what's going on in this place, right?"
Xia Nuo didn't care about the other party's eviction order, but smiled and said, "Otherwise, I don't want to go in a mess like this." ”
"Don't know what's going on?" The old mayor was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion, "What, are you coming to the Kingdom of Alabastan for the first time?" ”
"Sort of."
Xia Nuo bowed slightly, "What's going on with those zombies outside?" When did your town start to look like this? ”
"It's not just our town, it's the whole of Alabastan, it's like this."
The old mayor now understood that the handsome young swordsman in front of him really didn't know anything about their situation, so he patiently explained:
"The zombies in our town have been appearing since about half a year ago, but some towns in the north have been in this situation for more than a year."
"The first place where zombies appeared was Badger Bear Town, northeast of the royal capital, where people suddenly found that the corpses in the cemetery broke through the ground one after another, and then launched an attack on the people in the town, and more than half of the people in the town died that night."
"And these dead people, the corpses disappeared inexplicably, and it didn't take long for someone to see them all turn into zombies and return, just like that, this terrifying corpse tide gradually spread, and it only took a few months to spread to the entire Shengting Island, so that the entire country was in a critical state."
"But fortunately, these zombies can't move freely during the day, and only come out at night to kill, so now the country hasn't collapsed, and those of us in small rural areas can barely escape this kind of disaster by relying on the fortress we built."
"Is it already so serious......
Xia Nuo probably had some guesses in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked again, "Don't you Alabastan have a standing army of six or seven hundred thousand, and they can't do anything about these zombies?" ”
"The army? Where is the army? ”
The old mayor took off his glasses and wiped the lenses, his expression was desolate, and he said sadly:
"When the corpse tide first broke out, the army completely fell, and at the beginning, we expected His Majesty King Kobra to stand up and lead the army to quell this terrible disaster, but later we learned that this corpse tide was simply created by him and Moonlight Moriari!"
What is this statement?
Xia Nuo frowned, from the first time he saw the zombies outside, he guessed that this strange scene was related to Moria, but he didn't expect that even the ordinary people in the countryside already knew the name, and they also involved King Kobra.
"I have the impression that your King Kobra seems to have a good reputation, right?"
Xia Nuo muttered, "What good can it do to join forces with Moria to do this kind of thing?" ”
"Of course, it's for the pursuit of immortality!"
At the mention of this, the old mayor was quite resentful, gritted his teeth and said:
"Everyone used to spread that it was said that the bastard of Kobra, in order to get Moria's support and make himself immortal, simply joined forces with Moria, let him carry out experiments, and make this country a zombie country!"
"If it weren't for the fact that we still have Lord Klockdahl here, I'm afraid that his and Moria's conspiracy would have succeeded a long time ago!"
"Klockdahl?"
Xia Nuo's eyes flashed slightly, "That one who has been staying in your kingdom of Alabastan, His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas?" ”
"That's right!"
Thea, the girl next to her, suddenly spoke, and when she mentioned the name of that person, her face was full of reverence:
"Although Lord Klockdal is a pirate, since he came to our country, he has been punishing evil and promoting good, repelling incoming pirates, and helping everyone a lot."
"This time, after perceiving the conspiracy of Moria and Kobra, he stood up as soon as possible and led the people to continuously launch resistance, so that the whole country has not completely become a zombie country for the time being!"
Get a rough idea of what's going on.
Xia Nuo sneered in his heart, although he didn't know when the Moonlight Moriah guy came to Alabastan, but it was obvious that these two guys who were full of tricks had already secretly colluded together.
One sings red-faced, the other sings white-faced, with Moria as a backstabber, Klockdahl doesn't need to do any tricks like dancing fans, and stands up directly as the savior of exterminating zombies, and his fame undoubtedly accumulates faster.
He glanced at the people around him, and found that everyone's expressions were similar to the girl Thea, and if this continued, it was estimated that it would not take more than a month in the next month, and the position abroad, and even the whole of Alabastan, would completely fall under the control of Klockdahl.
"Uncle Town, why did you want me to leave before?"
Xia Nuo looked at the old mayor and asked meaningfully, "Isn't it because these zombies are more aggressive to outsiders from Shengting Island?" ”
"That's right." The old mayor put on his glasses again, nodded and said: "This is not only us, but also the experience that many people in the country know, as long as there are outsiders, these zombies who come out at night will be even more crazy, and even attract the siege of zombies in the rest of the surrounding areas, in other words, with you here, the danger we face will be greatly increased." ”
Really......
Xia Nuo shook his head with a smile, this is an old trick that can be guessed.
On the one hand, the people are in extreme fear, and on the other hand, they try to drive away the outsiders as much as possible, and build a closed environment to avoid variables.
And all this is just to allow Klockdahl's usurpation plan to go smoothly.
