Chapter 1 People After the War

The third act of the Miracle Game has already begun for half a month, and half a month has passed since the offensive and defensive battle of Belial. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city's shattered streets are being resurfaced, and improvised tents have been erected in places where the buildings have been destroyed.

The aftermath of the war seems to have passed, and people's lives have returned to normal, and everyone is living and working in order - except that they cannot leave the city, their lives are no different from before.

But the gray canopy overhead and the constant biting sounds outside the city reminded them of the demons and the people who died in the war against them.

It will also remind them that the war is not really over yet.

……

Due to the death of the lord of Belia Castle and the fact that the imperial top management could not send a new lord for the time being, the staff temporarily assumed the position of lord of the castle.

It stands to reason that this position should be held by Lei Ruoya, after all, Lei Ruoya is a big man with an imperial order, and he is the theoretical largest official in Belia City.

But when the staff found Lei Ruoya and mentioned it to her, the emperor who descended from heaven widened his eyes and kept shaking his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good...... If I were to be in a position like this, it would give people a sense of admiration...... Do you understand the King James Decree? Don't understand? Anyway, you know it's not a good thing. ”

The staff didn't understand Lei Ruoya's words, but they felt that since the other party refused so firmly, there must be some reason why they had to do it, so they didn't shirk and took the position of temporary city lord.

After the war, there are always various things that need to be dealt with, and there must be a place to deal with these things...... You can't go out of the city, so you can't use the offices that are commonly used in the barracks outside the city; And there may be something important hidden in the castle lord's mansion, which has been temporarily sealed - so that a new place in the castle will need to be found for the castle lord's use.

This matter caused a headache for the soldiers under the staff for several days, because the buildings in the city of Belia were broken and destroyed, and there were not many vacant buildings. If they were to take over the buildings of the residents...... They have always had good military discipline, but they can't do such things.

Later, Lei Ruoya discovered the building used by the Dragon Slayer Society in Act 1 and Act 2, so her eyes turned to her heart, and she waved her little hand heroically and said to the soldiers: "This is it!" ”

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had spoken, the soldiers poured into the building like hungry beasts, occupying the building that had belonged to the Dragon Slayer Society like a magpie's nest.

Rejoa named the building the "Belia City War Emergency Office" and was used to deal with all matters in times of war.

In this war, the decision-making power of all affairs of Belial Castle was in the hands of the former castle lord, who was transformed by the demons of the enemy side, and the Belial army suffered many unknown losses.

After the war, the soldiers represented by the surviving commander of the heavy infantry banner banner put forward a management policy centered on "implementing democratic management and rejecting the word of the castle lord", which was highly praised by the adventurers led by Lei Ruoya.

Under such a premise, the "Committee of Seven Members of the Wartime Emergency Office of Belia" came into being, which consisted of three military personnel: the commander of the remaining two flag regiments and a subordinate captain of the heavy flag regiment; Three adventurers: Lei Ruoya, Xu Ke, Yuzhou, the president of the Dragon Slayer Society; and the chairman of the committee and the acting lord of the city of Belia, Dumon.

All important matters must be referred to the Committee for deliberation, and any proposal must be approved by more than half of the members.

"According to my observations and calculations over the past few days, there is enough food in the city of Belial, and it will feed the entire city for twenty-seven days. In terms of drinking water, all the wells in Belia are functional, and there are no signs of contamination of the water that comes up. Xu Ke stood up in the room, stretched out his hand to hold his glasses and said to everyone present seriously, "And Master Priest should have taken into account the problem of breathing when constructing this barrier, so there should be enough ventilation openings on the barrier, and there should be no lack of air circulation in the city." ”

Xu Ke concluded: "Without external interference, we can still live in this 'fortress' for as long as a month. ”

The staff member sitting in the first place nodded after hearing this, motioned for Xu Ke to sit down, and said at the same time: "Before we returned to the city that night, we sent a team of soldiers to ask for help from several surrounding cities, calculating the time they spent on the road, plus the time it would take for the rest of the cities to mobilize troops...... Reinforcements should be on the horizon in the next few days. ”

Several people present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard thisβ€”after a great battle, the number of demons left outside the city was already small, and as long as one city was willing to send about half of its army to help, it would be enough to exterminate these monsters.

After saying this, the staff member asked a soldier: "Merkel, tell me about the city defense in the past few days." ”

Merkel was a tall, bald man, the only soldier among the three army representatives who was not the head of the flag regiment, and the head of the wartime defense of the city of Beria.

Hearing the call of the acting city lord, the tall man stood up at once, his waist straightened, and he saluted the rest of the people with a standard military salute and said loudly: "Report to the city lord, in the past few days, our city defense force has united with those mages of the Magician Guild to form the 'Belia City City Management Peacekeeping Force' or 'chengguan' according to His Majesty's orders...... The demons have suddenly been quiet for the past two days! ”

"Quiet?" The staff frowned.

"Yes!" Merkel nodded heavily, "Those demons who were restless and kept biting at the gray city wall have been biting the walls much less frequently in the past two days, and even their roars have been significantly less!" ”

"Do you know what the reason is?" Xu Ke on the side asked.

"I don't know yet," the man shook his head, then grinned, "but ...... Maybe the demons are tired from not eating for a long time. ”

"We can't be blindly optimistic," said the staff member who sat at the top of the table, shaking his head, "Our knowledge of demons has always been limited to records within the empire, and to put it mildly, we basically don't know anything about demons. We don't know how long the demons eat or not, or even if they need to eat...... This kind of blindly optimistic conclusion should not be thrown into a mess. Reinforcements should be coming soon, and your city management troops should not let their guard down and keep an eye on those demons in the next few days. ”

"Yes!" Merkel replied loudly.

After giving the order, the staff looked at the three seats belonging to the adventurers on the right, looked at Xu Ke among them and asked:

"Miss Lei Ruoya, she ...... Still reluctant to come? ”

Xu Ke shrugged his shoulders helplessly after hearing this: "Yes, she still let me come alone today." ”

But she obviously agreed to it first,...... It doesn't matter if you set up a committee or take one of the seats...... Why is she reluctant to come in the end? The staff shook their heads and sighed.

Xu Ke knew that what the staff said was right, but he was helpless about this matter, so he could only smile bitterly at the staff: "No way...... But Miss Ruoya had instructed her not to inform her if the matter was not urgent enough to be of the same level as the last dragon invasion. ”

In this room, which originally belonged to the president of the Dragon Slaying Society, the three seats that should belong to the adventurers were two empty at the moment, and only Xu Ke sat on the seat.

Yuzhou is because he has not woken up since the war, but everyone thinks that he should be left a place.

And the seat that belonged to Lei Ruoya...... At this moment, there is a rag doll, and there is a piece of paper on the head of the rag doll, on which are scribbled the words "Lei Ruoya", and there is a line of small words under her name - "Recently, I have been in retreat and cultivated, please find Teacher Xu Ke if you have something." ”

……

Lei Ruoya, who was remembered by everyone, was sitting bored in the courtyard behind the magic supply store at the moment, holding her small cheeks and looking at her brother in knife practice.

"I've heard that they have a committee of seven with your name on it...... Why don't you go? ”

There was a slightly vicissitudes of a man's voice behind him, and Lei Ruoya knew that it must be Master Priest without looking back.

Hearing the master's question, Lei Ruoya replied quickly without thinking about it: "Anyway, it's all transactional and boring things, I am young and have a good future, so I don't touch these bureaucratic things...... Just let the mature and steady teacher Xu Ke do these things for you. ”

"Then why did you agree to join in the first place?"

"When I first joined, I just wanted to occupy a seat to prevent things like the previous city lord from happening, and if I really want to encounter something critical, I can also intervene to stop it...... But like the daily trivial things they discuss on weekdays, just let them deal with the waste wood themselves. Lei Ruoya said nonchalantly.

The master behind him was silent for a moment, and then asked, "So is there any connection between this and a large number of you moving to my shop?" ”

"How can it be okay?" Lei Ruoya stroked her palms and said, "Nanshui Amei still has me, and sometimes there is a fan sister of my brother named Xiaowei...... This adds up to four delicate soft girls! Mr. Xu Ke is busy with official business, and although my brother is good, his head is not very bright...... Master, can you bear to let our four girls live on their own!? What would we do if we met some bad guys!? ”

The master was about to open his mouth to refute, but Lei Ruoya preemptively said the next moment: "Aren't you the most fond of young and beautiful little girls, master?" I'm still not satisfied with packing and sending four of you at once!? ”

Master ...... was obviously choked by Lei Ruoya, and it took a long time before he could hold back a sentence, "Did you come to scold me?" ”

Lei Ruoya's eyes widened when she heard this, she turned her head and grabbed the other party's beard: "Master, I haven't even investigated the matter of sending me inferior products last time, and now I have sent you four more sisters...... You shouldn't be happy, right!? ”

"Don't pull my beard! Little girl, stop me......" Seeing that Lei Ruoya's hand was about to exert force, the master finally relented, "Okay, good!" I'm not going to pursue this, can you stop it for me first!? ”

……

In the previous days, Lei Ruoya had heard his staff say:

The corpse in that cave should have been teleported by space magic.

And it should be an extremely high-level spatial magic, because the soldiers lurking in it didn't even feel the slightest energy fluctuation...... The corpses had suddenly appeared in the cave.

And in Belial City, there is only one mage who can use high-level spatial magic.

That's Master Priest, the owner of the magic supply shop. (To be continued.) )
