Collective Crossing Chapter 179 Trade-offs
"What should I do?" Li Yuan raised his head and looked at Ah Long with a heavy expression.
"What does this need to ask me? Now is the time for you to prove that you are Lord Huo Siqi's right-hand man! Ah Long stretched out his hand to hold his glasses, and said with a heartfelt voice.
"Huh?" The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched immediately, you ...... specially, "Hehe, you won't have no way, right?" ”
"Humph! If everything can be done with the help of your seniors, then what do you want you to do? Boy, this is your best chance to prove yourself, and you should cherish it. Ah Long pressed his palms on the counter, his expression became sharper and sharper, and his eyes burned and looked at Li Yuan.
Hey, I said you're a bastard, do you know the tone in which you speak now, like a waste leader who didn't survive more than two episodes in a workplace drama in the past, was incompetent, and full of bullshit? Scold! It's just that the information on the letter this time is too important, so I can't bear to scold you, master...... The corners of Li Yuan's eyes jumped.
In Avalon, Merlin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ah! Ah, this little bastard, who did you learn this set from? ”
Li Yuan squinted at him, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was a bald bastard......
"Huo Siqitai, uh, sister, she ......," Li Yuan said.
"It's Lord Huo Siqi!" Ah Long corrected in a serious tone.
Is this stupid time to dwell on this? Li Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, rationally chose to ignore him, and continued: "Does she have a way to let people come to Caro Town to pick up so many people?" ”
"There is no time, since Lord Huo Siqi has already sensed it, then the lackeys of that 'spirit' have already used the power hidden in the depths of the ocean, and it won't take too long to sweep in and attack. With their strength, it's not something that just me and Lord Huo Siqi can compete with. Ah Long helped his glasses:
"As for you, in the face of this force, you can only be a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and you will not play any role at all...... No, maybe you're not even a fat sheep. ”
It's so arrogant, it's even worse than Merlin...... Li Yuanqiang resisted the urge to punch him in the face: "Maybe you can let Brother Sauron mobilize the people of the Tian Yuan Continent to come over and fight?" ”
"Do you think the forces on the Tian Yuan Continent are so easy to mobilize? Not to mention that the four major transfer points are not harmonious with each other, even if the major forces in the rest of the cities are all working independently, how can they gather enough people to resist this force in such a short period of time? Ah Long vetoed the proposal:
"All you need to do now is to complete Lord Huo Siqi's instructions, and in other cases, Lord Huo Siqi has already taken into account all the methods that can be considered."
"So you're saying that we're left with the only way we can move all the people in Carrow to Dom?"
"It's not us, it's you! It's a test for you! Ah Long corrected again.
What the hell are you ...... Li Yuan was angry for a while.
Immediately, Ah Long added: "And this time is less than a day, and Lord Huo Siqi has already counted all the time you came over." ”
"Maybe we should talk to the old mayor?" Lin Xiaoxin said loudly. Her words broke the deadlock between Li Yuan and Ah Long. She could see clearly from the sidelines, if Ah Long and Li Yuan continued to argue, she was afraid that she might not be able to argue with any result, but would have to fight first.
"Hmm." Hearing this, Li Yuan suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly brightened, and said secretly: Instead of wasting time with this waste dragon here, it is better to find the old mayor as soon as possible, he is the person who knows best here. Damn, I didn't think of that......
So, he, Lin Xiaoxin and Lin Yinyin turned around and walked towards the door.
Out of the door, he simply sent a message to the old mayor, saying that he had something important to discuss, and then was about to walk to the mayor's office when a slight clicking sound suddenly sounded behind him.
Li Yuan turned his head and was surprised to see Ah Long wearing a windbreaker on his body, and His Royal Highness Meow Meow was standing on his shoulder.
He came over and passed by Li Yuan: "Let's go, let's go over together." ”
Finally said something human...... Li Yuan secretly slandered, didn't answer, turned his head and left. The four of them walked silently down Central Street to the door of the mayor's office.
The lights in the mayor's office are on.
Li Yuan and the others arrived at the door of the office, gently pushed the door in, and there was a squeak.
"Mr. Li Yuan!" Hearing this, the old mayor stood up excitedly, came to Li Yuan, held his hand, and asked with concern, "You, are you okay?" ”
"How so...... At least for now. Li Yuan said with a wry smile.
Immediately, he raised his head, glanced at Zhang Li, and nodded to him, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Ahh Ah, Master Dragon, why are you here too? At this time, the old mayor couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the figure behind Li Yuan reflected in the dim light.
"The next thing to say is very important, don't waste time, Li Yuan, you can show Lord Huo Siqi's letter to the old mayor." Ah Long ignored the old mayor's enthusiasm and said with a straight face.
What a pretence...... Li Yuan couldn't help but slander again, so he took out the letter that Huo Siqi gave him, handed it to the old mayor, and said seriously: "Old mayor, it's important for you to read what the letter says first, and then give us some suggestions." ”
"Huh? Well. The old mayor took the letter suspiciously, went to his desk, put on his reading glasses, and read it carefully.
As he read the back, his hand suddenly trembled violently, and the letter slipped from the edge of the table.
He raised his head in shock, looked at Li Yuan, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, what the letter says, but is it true?" ”
"I think so." Li Yuan nodded and replied. But at the same time, Ah Long's unkind voice sounded in his ears again: "I said old man, are you suspicious of Lord Huo Siqi?" ”
"No, no!" The old mayor was stunned by his question.
"Ah Long, you won't be happy like Sister Kiki." Lin Yinyin finally couldn't help but scold. Along the way, because he was disturbed to rest, he also had a ...... for Huo Siqi Perhaps it was the inexplicable hostility of a bewitching mature woman, Lin Yinyin has not been very happy, so since she came to Caro Town, she has not said a word.
It's just that at this time, seeing that Ah Long is still so fierce, the old mayor can't stand it anymore.
"How do you know?" Ah Long asked rhetorically.
"I just know!" Lin Yinyin turned her head and glared at Ah Long fiercely, Ah Long suddenly felt a chill surging from his tail vertebrae, making his scalp tingle, and subconsciously shut up.
At this time, Zhang Li also came over, took the letter and looked at it, and when he saw the back, he couldn't help but change color.
"This, Lord Alchemist, they, how strong are they?"
"Anyway, you just need to know that this is not something you can compete with." Ah, the dragon is impatient.
Zhang Li subconsciously glanced at the old mayor, and saw the old mayor sitting on the chair, frowning, and not saying a word.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Ah Long: "Alchemist, can you tell us how many people you can transfer?" ”
"We can mobilize twenty large ships in a short time, although there are more small boats, but the number of people they can carry is extremely limited, plus the two large ships in Dom Town and Caro Town, if it is crowded, it is the limit to transfer four or five thousand people at a time." Ah Long replied.
"Four or five thousand...... "The old mayor groaned with his hand to his chin.
"We should inform the townspeople of this as soon as possible and let them move to Dom, right? What are you waiting for? This may be more ......lucky," Ah on the dragon's shoulder, His Royal Highness Meow fluttered his wings and interjected.
"No, based on the distance of the ship back and forth, we only have one chance to carry it." Ah, the dragon interrupted His Highness Meow Meow.
"Well, we can't just tell the townspeople about this, it's easy to cause panic, and I'm afraid that your hard work will be wasted." The old mayor let out a long sigh.
"Old mayor......" Li Yuan was shocked.
"Mr. Li Yuan, I know what you mean, but there is no way, this is reality." The old mayor paused, and said in a hoarse voice, "We can't get everyone to be saved. ”
"Old Mayor ......" Zhang stood aside, his voice trembling slightly.
"So, we have to make a trade-off." The old mayor continued.
Hearing this, Zhang Li also fell silent.
"Just how to choose?" Ah Long lifted his glasses, and there seemed to be a dazzling light in his eyes.
The old mayor was silent, and after a long while, he raised his head: "Since the day of fate came, and the novice adventurers appeared out of thin air, I realized what was going to happen to us here, but what I didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly. ”
Speaking of this, the old mayor paused: "Alchemist, I think, you must know a lot of secrets in this world, right?" ”
"Hmm." Ah Long nodded in agreement.
"I think so, don't worry, I won't ask too many extra questions." The old mayor turned to look at Li Yuan and them, and continued: "But even I have already seen that novice adventurers like Mr. Li Yuan and them must have arrived with some mission. ”
Li Yuan, Lin Xiaoxin, and Lin Yinyin were all silent.
"So, I imagine that you, as well as the Lord Huo Siqi you mentioned, and even the previous Lord Sauron, must have come for them. So I'm guessing that you're also going so hard to prepare for novice adventurers this time. ”
Ah Long looked at the old mayor, noncommittal.
"That's right!" The old mayor lowered his head and chuckled, "In that case, this time we must be dominated by novice adventurers. It's just that I would like to implore the alchemist, and Mr. Li Yuan, if you can, please be sure to bring our children! Their lives have just begun, and they shouldn't, shouldn't be ...... like this."
The old mayor bowed deeply, choking for a moment.
"Old mayor!" Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Okay, but what can we do to bring the novice adventurers and the kids to Dom Town without causing panic?" Ah Long asked.
"I have a way!" The old mayor raised his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "We can hold an event to nominally allow those novice adventurers to take the children to experience the life of fighting monsters in the mountains, so as to cultivate the children's courage." The final destination is set in the town of Dom, and then ranked by the speed of arrival. ”
"It's a big night, and it's confusing to suddenly release this event, can you hide it from the residents of the town?" Ah, the dragon is puzzled.
"That's not going to do, but I'll prepare them with a temptation that is enough to lose their minds." The old mayor grinned, but his smile was a little miserable: "As long as you participate in this event, you can get at least fifty gold coins per person after you arrive!" ”
