Volume 2 Embattled Chapter 24 A Sharp Turn
At the same time, the city hall of Hualan City was also brightly lit, and Battle did not go home early because of nightfall, but was anxious to deal with the mountain of reports and documents in front of him
Recently, the mayor has been in conflict with outside forces, and the surrounding situation has become very unstable
First and foremost is the division of interests along several roads to the south bordering the city of Golden Yellow and the division of interests in the waters
Originally, according to the agreement, the trade tariffs on several trade routes of Road No. 5 were divided equally, and those who took the waterway were subject to the customs standards of the landing city
But in the past few days, Jinhuang City has repeatedly detained business travelers from Hualan City for no reason, and even kidnapped the human residents of Hualan City who went out on missions!
Although there have been accidents encountered by the residents of Hualan City before, most of them are occasional, most of them are the wanton actions of wandering elves, and they have also been dealt with by Hualan's wind speed dogs, and the atmosphere has gradually improved
Recently, however, there has been a marked increase in the number of missing persons, and the methods are brutal and disciplined, leaving little evidence
Judging from the fact that the other party does not take the slightest property after attacking and killing human beings, and does not capture human beings as slaves, it is obvious that it is an organized retaliatory action by hostile forces!
The newspapers went missing, and the Chamber of Commerce came to complain and broke through the door of the city hall
It's just that the mayor of his own house is a hands-off shopkeeper, and he has to deal with these things by himself, which is really annoying
But even if he is troubled, Battle understands in his heart that this is not the problem of the people of Hualan City, the root of the problem is still the revenge psychology of these forces, and if you want to eradicate this phenomenon, you have to solve the problem from the root
"Lord Mayor, Lord Mayor... We're in a big enough trouble this time...."Rubbing the two tentacles that were a little swollen, Battle only felt deep weakness and headache and brain fever, and wanted to rest in the office for a while
Bang bang bang!!
The office was shaken a little by this violent knock, which woke up Battle, who had just closed his eyes for a moment, and he glanced at the door in annoyance, and said to himself, Who is going to report the crime in the middle of the night?
"Please come in!" Battle feebly called for the people outside the door to come in, and then he turned over and approved the papers on the table
The door slammed open and slammed against the wall with a dull thud
Looking up, Battle wondered which guy was so rude, and he came to the city hall to open the door and make such a big move, did he want to tear down the door
But as soon as he saw the other party, Battle was stunned, and he reacted no wonder
The person who came was none other than the owner of the Hualan City Daoist Hall
If it's this guy, it's not surprising, this guy is always so reckless, I thank him for not demolishing the house
As an old acquaintance of the dumb king, Battle naturally knew the other party's character, and rolled his eyes and glanced at the other party, "Yo, hippo, you're back, I heard about your withdrawal from the game, why don't you fight for it anymore?" Doesn't it mean that this year's top three can have a place in the big fight?"
Snorted coldly with disdain, and said expressionlessly, "Fight? How to fight for it? Those grandchildren brought you yin, and the players who came to harass us in the middle of the night every day did urine tests and blood tests, and they couldn't even recuperate from injuries and illnesses, so how could they compete? Don't him, I'm back."
Sitting on the sofa in the office with a huff, the king was stunned
"By the way, Moth, what about the Mayor, I saw that the lights were bright here, and I thought that the Mayor was also working here" "Mayor? Hehe, you ask me, I'll ask who to go, I guess I'm raising his flowers and plants again" Battle, who had a black face, didn't look like he was always smiling and moaning in front of people
It was only in front of a few elves who were really familiar with him that Battle didn't have to wear that smirk all the time
He took off the shell crown on his head and wiped it, and the dumb king nodded silently, he also knew that although the mayor of Hualan City was Mewtwo, he really did the daily office every day, and he basically couldn't see the mayor's figure
"By the way, hippopotamus, if you come back, are the three imps back? Especially smart, he evolved into the youngest Gotha duck in the clan in one fell swoop this time, and it is estimated that he will be praised a lot when he goes back. Battle didn't raise his head, and while approving the documents, he greeted the dumb king
The Dumb King yawned and put the crown beside him, "Well, when I came back, that kid said that he was going to meet his friends first, and then he went to find Miss Yves and that human, I have to say that they are really a bad fate."
With a sneer, Battle continued to say in a daze, "But isn't it, you're an apprentice, you've been two extremes since you were a child, you were bullied when you were stupid, and anyone dared to bite when you were ruthless, except for the big cat and the fist in your gym, it seems that no one is closer to him."
Putting away the documents in his hand, Battle stretched his muscles, which can be regarded as completing the complaint of the Chamber of Commerce, and then he can deal with the case of the missing person...
Looking at these disappearance reports in Battle's hand from afar, although the Dumb King usually does not participate in government affairs, he can more or less know what the contents are from the color identification on the head of these documents
"Recently... So many dead and wounded? The Dumb King frowned, got up and looked through the reports of missing persons one after another on the table, he had already expected these guys to play Yin disgusting Hualan City when he saw the mountain, but it was still too bad to start with humans, and the Dumb King felt deeply disdainful
With a sigh, Battle pointed to the stack of papers at the foot of the table
"In less than half a month, the total number of missing persons in the last three years has already been generated, and you don't need to think about it to know that it must be those elements who hate humanity who are stirring up trouble at the instigation of certain forces to create this situation..." The Dumb King said anxiously
Glancing at the Dull King, Battelpi said with a smile, "What to do?" How? The limit of what the city can do is to be vigilant around Hualan City, otherwise do you think we can reach the sky with our hands and eyes? Pipe to the second half of Route 5? ”
He pointed to a specially marked report on the table
"See, Officer Fengli of the Hualan Branch died in the line of duty in order to escort a team of humans who went out to pick!" Hearing this, the dumb king's face changed greatly, and the anger in his eyes soared!
The Elven Center, the Wind Speed Dog Police Station, are two absolutely neutral existences in the elven world
He has never intervened in the struggle of any force, and the most transgressive behavior is just to use the elven law to beat some family forces that have gone too far, and he has been the maintainer of order in the elven world for many years
The other party is so mad? Even the wind speed dog officer didn't let go?
"But there is no evidence, the whole team of humans and officers of the wind and beauty were completely out of breath when we found out, and we have no way to file a complaint against any force or anyone...."Battle reluctantly shook his young claws and sighed deeply
The dumb king was already furious, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to go directly to Jinhuang City to find the Hu family of the authorities to make it clear!
"What does the mayor mean? Is that all? ”
"Your Excellency... His meaning is also very simple, shrink our sphere of influence to the south, expand as far north as possible, and don't have a head-on conflict with Golden City..."Although he didn't want to admit it, Battle had to say that he felt that the mayor's order was still too cautious, as if he was afraid of another conflict with Golden City
Ay!
Hearing the mayor's arrangement, the dumb king had nothing to say, so he could only sigh angrily and sit back angrily
He also knew in his heart that our mayor was indeed strong, but he couldn't show his strength outside Hualan City! This is also the most unwilling place for the dumb king, with the strength of the mayor, what Emperor Hu and Emperor Mao are just chickens and dogs, but they are invisibly restrained, it is really providential!
Seeing the dumb king sighing and beating his chest, Battle felt uncomfortable, but he still persuaded him with good words, "Hippo, don't be too depressed, I believe that the situation will get better after a while, and the mayor is not without countermeasures, and the next policy depends on you to cooperate."
Hearing that there was a need for him, the Dumb King recovered from his frustration and hurriedly looked at Battle and waited for the other party's instructions
Battle smirked and looked at the Dull King
"If I'm not mistaken, you have a water stone at home~"
