028. Behind the scenes
"Thank you so much, otherwise I don't know what would have become of Salem." Mary thanked the armoured man, who was already on his horse, ready to take his soldiers back to Endor. He lost 5 soldiers in this battle, and more than 10 were seriously wounded, and he had to go back to explain the problem of soldiers' casualties to the above, so he did not accept the kindness of the acting mayor of this Salem town, she originally wanted the soldiers to stay and have a good meal before returning to Endor, but he still felt that there was no need for that, and it was better to spend the money on the reconstruction of the council hall with this food and drink.
The council hall has almost been abandoned after this incident, and the internal structure has become a dangerous building under the attack of Alphad, and it can no longer be used at all, but can only be rebuilt.
Mary, George, and Muzzie were all imprisoned in the town's prison, and the witches didn't kill them or even cast any curses or other spells on them. It's hard to figure out what the witches think.
Muzi, Mondo, and Alphad also returned with the army, while Yang Xiang remained in Salem and has not yet returned. Alden's injuries were largely healed after Mondo's treatment, and he now succeeded Hale as Sheriff of Salem.
Originally, Mary wanted Cotton to be in charge, but Cotton refused, he didn't want to be some bullshit ruler, he just wanted to work hard to be a demon slayer, he wanted to surpass his father, he didn't want to think of his father's name when others talked about demon slayers. Cotton has decided that he will leave Salem after this incident. There's no point in staying here anymore, Salem doesn't need a slayer.
"Thank you so much, adventurer." Alden held Yang Xiang's hand, he was very grateful to Yang Xiang for his rescue this time, if it weren't for this, maybe Salem would have fallen into the hands of those witches, "Salem will definitely change again, it will become better, people will be freer and richer." ”
Yang Xiang is also preparing to go back to Endor City to receive the reward of this mission, he has wasted a lot of time in Salem, and now there are two other people on the rank list who are also level 29, and Yang Xiang's first place is in danger.
After saying goodbye to Alden, Yang Xiang directly clicked on the return to the city.
"Did the adventurer leave?" Mary sat in the lobby of the Sibrie family's villa, and George sat in his wheelchair. Alden nodded, and Mary began to laugh at Alden's reply, and Alden didn't understand what was going on.
Mary used to be Alden's lover, but in order to join the army, he left his lover, and when he returned to Salem, he found that Mary was married, and that was also the George she had disliked so much? Sibri. Alden thought that Mary had married George because she was deliberately angry with him, and when Alden came back, Alden had made a point of looking for Mary, but Mary's answer was quite disappointing to Alden. A disheartened Alden wanted to leave Salem, but it was only after hearing Mary say that Salem had changed, and Alden began to notice the change in Salem.
"It's really hard to deceive those fools in Endor City, and those fools in Hale actually summoned the big demons in order to achieve their goals, it's stupid, the big demons are so easy to control!" Mary's voice was a little crazy, she grinned, Alden felt that this was not the Mary he knew at all, Alden took out his musket and pointed it at Mary in front of him.
Alden's hands were shaking, he didn't feel like he had the courage to shoot, but he had to.
"Oh, Sheriff Alden, did you know that pointing a gun at the acting mayor is also a crime?" Mary was not afraid of Alden's movements, but she was chanting some incantation, only to see George retching and spit out a toad the size of a fist. The toad jumped on Mary's knee and quietly waited for Mary's touch.
"Ahem, Mary, you madman!" George was suddenly able to speak, and his first words were to scold Mary, "I'm going to strip you of your agency rights, you madman, witch!" You will be burned at the stake! ”
Mary applauded, she didn't care at all about George's threatening words, she didn't have to care, because they didn't threaten her at all, and George couldn't get out of this villa at all. There was no one else here but her, George, and Alden, oh, and a man hiding in the dark, but he didn't come out, and Alden didn't notice his presence.
"Who are you Mary or who? You're not the Mary I know, but the Mary I know is a kind person! Alden cried out, only roaring to hide his fear, his musket still pointed at Mary, who was sitting in a chair and petting the disgusting toad.
"Alden, didn't you hear what Mayor George said?" Mary looked up at the musketeer, and then the command of the hand moved, and Alden suddenly felt as if his hand was out of his control, and Alden pointed the muzzle of the gun at George.
"No, no, no, Alden, I know you hate me, but you don't have to deal with me at this time." Seeing Alden point the gun at him, George began to be afraid, although he didn't know if Alden would shoot, but this feeling of being pointed at a gun and fate was not at his mercy was really bad.
"I'm out of my control anymore. Mary, I know you did it! Alden struggled to keep his body out of control, and now Mary was controlling him to pull the trigger of the musket, and if she succeeded, then George would die, and he would be a sinner in Salem, and a man who killed the mayor would undoubtedly be a sinner.
"Hehehe, did I do it?" Mary didn't look up, she didn't want to see Alden's face any longer, she was afraid that she would hesitate, this was her determination after thinking about it for a long time, she wouldn't let anyone stop it.
Alden was still trying to resist the force that controlled him, his hands still shaking, and the sweat on his forehead had begun to drip to the ground. George was still twisting his face vigorously, his neck down was paralyzed, and he could only move his neck away to see if he could dodge the bullets fired by the musketeers. Although he knew that the odds of such a situation were slim, he had to try, he didn't want to die so soon, especially before Mary's woman's plot was revealed.
"It's a lot of work, but it's a pity." The people in the shadows couldn't help but speak.
"How could it be you!" Neither George nor Alden could have imagined that it would be him.
