Chapter 517: Vigil (Part II)

Crow Jixiang and Squirrel Jili have not been idle, so I need more men to complete this arrangement.

"What's your idea?" On the way back to town, I asked Leo.

"Not yet," Leo said, "until the situation stabilizes, at least tomorrow." ”

"What is Jixiang doing?" I asked.

"I'm looking for other high-level magical beasts," Leo said, "but crows aren't nocturnal creatures after all. ”

"Are there owls nearby?" I asked, "I'm in a hurry!" ”

"Well, your attitude always changes so quickly...... "Leo said, "is it okay to keep the point?" ”

"Anyway, I only have a Tyrannosaurus rex pet." I say.

Back behind the wall, the civilians were well fed and drunk, the wounded were treated, and they all began to sleep.

I asked the rabbit girl to go to sleep, but she followed me closely and refused to leave.

"I'm going to keep vigil," I said, "be obedient, and go to bed!" ”

Sansan went a little reluctantly.

The soldier said to me, "Lord Bihong and Lord Guardian Warrior go to bed first, we will stand guard and report to you at any time!" ”

I said, "No, you don't have enough energy, I'm almost recovered now." ”

The soldiers still left a few energetic people to stand guard, and I didn't insist that they rest, and patrolled slowly along the fence.

There are still sporadic beasts outside, but there are very few monsters, most of them are still beasts, and before the soldiers can notice it, the Tyrannosaurus Rex flew out to solve it.

Of course, it's to roast those monsters and taste them......

After the moon rose, the Tyrannosaurus rex also got tired of the game of "barbecue" and fell asleep right on my shoulder.

In the middle of the night, I sat down in a random corner and was in a daze, only to find that the rabbit girl Sansan was quietly hiding behind a broken wall.

"Why don't you sleep?" I asked her.

"I, I'm afraid you'll run away...... Sansan said.

"Don't worry, I won't run, I'll take you away at dawn!" I comforted her, took her to a less crowded room, covered her with a torn hide, and waited for her to fall asleep.

In the meantime, no beasts have come to infest the town again, but Leo has unexpectedly good news for me.

"The king is dead." These are Leo's exact words.

"King Hassachi Rhine, dead?" I paused, then reacted, "How did you die?" Was he killed by a high-level demonic beast? Or is it a conspiracy of the Tiger Clan and the Wolf Clan? ”

"The cause of death was guessed correctly, but the mastermind did not." "It's nice to think of this." ”

"Yes, Anfield Elect King!" I immediately guessed who was behind it.

"Well, it's not slow to react this time." Leo said.

"It's not hard to guess," I said, "that King Hassaqi is biased towards the Tigers, and that Anfield will be able to succeed him after his death, and this disaster is an opportunity for him......"

"Very well," Leo seemed satisfied, "you're starting to understand political thinking." ”

"Did the wolf clan do anything in secret?" I say.

"I can't say no," Leo said, "There are a lot of people in their group, after all, the strength is not as good as your Golden Retriever Patriarch, and only by picking high-level demonic beasts can it be guaranteed." ”

"Then, there are a lot of people who have discovered the conspiracy to elect the king of Anfield, right?" I say.

"Guess how many people here are the ones who chose the king of Anfield?" Leo asked again.

I thought for a moment: "More than half of it, more than half of him has that guts." ”

"This time it was wrong," said Leo, "it's all! ”

"How is that possible?" I didn't believe it at all, "With so many patriarchs and masters, as well as priests, how could he possibly draw everyone to his side?" ”

"Hehehe, you're still a little naïve," said Leo, "you've murdered the son of Tigama, don't you think he'll do it?" ”

"He, they, killed those people too?" I was taken aback, and then frowned.

"Anyway, the situation is so complicated, it doesn't matter if a few inconsequential patriarchs and priests die...... This is the rule of the game of royal power...... You are still worried about these weak civilians, but you don't know that the powerful people in the high, even if they have supreme power and strength, are as powerless as rabbit people in front of the stronger. ”

"Why?" I was immediately puzzled by the question, "Why are the orc rulers like this?" ”

"Hehehe!" Leo smiled again, "This is the stage that intelligent beings must go through after forming a society, no one can avoid it, unless it enters the next stage of civilization, it can be alleviated, well, I don't praise the earth, after all, the earthlings are not finished yet, and besides, the humans and elves in your world are more complex than you orcs...... However, there are some feasible things, if you want to, you can achieve it yourself, but it may be more difficult than becoming a god, because those who have become gods have not been able to escape these laws......"

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"The world you have been exposed to since you were a child is not as beautiful as you imagined, and your family, your neighbors, your kindred, your patriarchs, your foreigners, all the orcs, do not live in peace," Leo said, "Actually, this is a very profound and broad question, and you have only just come into contact with the most superficial things now, and if you can understand it, you will be greater than becoming a god...... Of course, there is no hurry for such a thing as world peace, I already have a clue about making you a god, but I am not sure about world peace at all, and I can't even do it with Aladdin. ”

"You're going far again." I said, "I'm worried about the safety of Animo City and the orcs. ”

"You're thinking ahead," Leo said, "it's just a catastrophe and a hidden coup d'état, the orcs won't be crushed by such a small problem, society has its complexities and contradictions, but there is also a hidden force that puts it all back on track, and the social fabric is not so fragile." ”

"That'...... What about the other high-level magical beasts? I asked.

"The priests worked together, nothing came out, and the masters led by the Tiger Clan also solved the goal, and it was all very smooth," Leo said, "Speaking of which, this can only be achieved in your kind of magical world, and on the earth, the force of individuals is not outstanding enough to achieve this effect, so the existence of your magnates is more reasonable." ”

I didn't want to go too deep into this with him, so I asked, "What about Lord Ron?" ”

"He? Of course with Anfield's king......" Leo said as a matter of course, "otherwise do you think Anfield would succeed so easily?" ”

I felt a little awkward when I heard it: "You mean, the Lord of Ron City ......"

"Of course, he doesn't have to do it himself, as long as he stands there, he basically does it." Leo said.

I'm still feeling bad.

"By the way, did you see the young patriarch?" I asked.

"Just in time to meet them, and the vixen, well, it's not Monica, it's Sheena Midoriwind."

"Is Master Wilder too?" I asked.

"Of course," said Leo, "looks like we'll have a lot to do tomorrow...... In contrast, fighting and killing or something, on the contrary, is the simplest, intriguing thing, it is difficult to deal with......"

"Is it another interrogation?" I asked.

"That's basically the only way," Leo said, "by the way, just in case, the space earrings are placed in Jixiang's place first, so that it is not easy to show the stuffing." ”

"Yes," I said, "there are more Sumeru bracelets than it is, anyway." ”

"It's a pity that Zhao Ritian's scabbard fell on the altar square!" Leo suddenly remorsefully said,

"Why keep everything for yourself?" I said, "Wouldn't it be too greedy?" ”

"Okay, after all, we're not the protagonists of Yaya, there's no need to collect all the good things," Leo said, "Today is basically over, if nothing else, going back tomorrow morning is the final ......"

"But how did this disaster end?" I say.

"Life has to go on," said Leo, "you see, even the little rabbit can see better than you, by the way, what are you going to do with her?" ”

"Give her a job where she can live in peace," I said, "and that's all she can do." ”

"Heh, your idea is really high." Leo scoffed.

"What's wrong?" I asked rhetorically.

"You have also seen that the rabbit man has many lives and many deaths, how dare you guarantee that she will be safe all her life?" Leo said.

"You can't take her all the way, can you?" I say.

"Then it's up to you." Leo said.

The night passed, and although there were still several waves of beasts and demonic beasts in the night, they were all easily dealt with by me.

As Leo said, it is indeed simple to fight and kill, but it is the accusations and questions that I have to face that make me have a bad premonition - the previous major events have made me very vigilant about this.

The underground palace incident, the Three Rivers Mountain Range, the bandit suppression incident, and the banned drug incident, all of which made me understand that what I did out of my inner sense of justice and responsibility would also be used and framed by my fellow clansmen.

I'm ready, though.

Atayal is already like this, it's a big deal for me to leave, as long as my family is not implicated, I have nothing to say about these disappointed people, the suffering civilians and the weak, I can only put it down for the time being, and wait until I have enough strength to change all this!

My thoughts kept flying, but instead of thinking like I had done before, without Leo's prompting, I cleared my mind and made a decision.

That's what I've learned.

This is also the growth that Atayal's choice and circumstances have brought me!

After dawn, the soldiers of the night vigil, although a little tired, were able to persevere, and we took all the refugees with us and walked back to the city of Animo.

The eastern part of the city is already very lively. I want to talk about "Memoirs of the Bull Head" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
