Chapter 202: The Game of Heavenly Selection (26)
But now......
Soon, Yechen noticed a point he had just overlooked, and asked, "Hurt rain, what is the attitude of the city hall towards the new city?" β
Hurt Yu scooped a large spoonful of egg soup for himself and said, "How do I know this?" β
Well, it's really a bit embarrassing to let the injured rain find out the news at this level, and there is not enough time, Yechen changed the question: "Who is in power in the city hall of Newlun City now?" β
Hurt Yu blinked and said, "Isn't it the mayor?" Who else could there be? β
"No, no, there will be changes." Yechen put down his chopsticks, stood up, and paced back and forth, "The entire social order has changed so much, and the power structure of the city hall must have changed. β
Yechen sat on the sofa, his fingers gently tapping on the armrest, recalling the information he had collected one after another.
Because as soon as he entered this mission world, a change in the world occurred, and then he was busy stockpiling supplies to improve Serena's strength...... In short, he was busy with everything, and some time ago, Yechen finally had a little free, so he went to a large bookstore to go around, found a lot of newspapers, magazines, and periodicals, packed two sacks, and dragged them back to his residence. If you really want to understand the information, the network is actually the most convenient, isn't there even electricity now? Yechen had no choice but to learn about the city through these paper words, especially in terms of politics and economy.
The current mayor of Newlen is called Mixon Kahn, who was appointed by the state government and has been parachuted in less than a year. Generally speaking, there is no foundation, and the mayor who parachutes directly is either capable or has a deep background, no matter what the case is, even if it is just to come over to gild, he should burn a few fires and brush up on his achievements. I don't know what's going on, but the mayor of Newon is very low-key, and in his tenure of more than nine months so far, the city hall has not issued a single policy that really makes sense, only occasionally makes some statements about environmental protection, food quality and safety, etc., and there are no coercive measures, which are useless.
This is not a strong mayor with a desire to control, so Yechen judged that it would be difficult for Mayor Mixon to keep his power after such a change in Newlun City and the collapse of social order. At this point, the rulers of powerful departments may usurp the administrative power of the city, such as ...... Bob Kane of the City Police Department. The police department he controls has the city's most powerful weapon at this stage β firearms. Yechen saw a report in a tabloid newspaper that the warehouse of the city police department was stocked with hundreds of guns of various types and tens of thousands of bullets. This is not a lot of firearms, but for the city of Newun, it is already a very important and powerful armed force.
In addition, Shen Wan, the wealthy man who controls the city council, should not be underestimated, the Shen family has been rooted in Newlun City for almost half a century, and the main industry is industry, such as Shen's fishery, Shen's marine transportation, Shen's food and other enterprises are not only huge, but more importantly, the Shen family has a large amount of grain in their hands.
It is impossible for the Shen family to cover the grain to death and not distribute it to anyone, then they will offend the entire Newlun City, and they are simply looking for death. Refugees suffering from hunger will turn into mobs and storm the Shen family's property, and perhaps the city hall will take the lead in raiding and sealing their warehouses. Mayor Mickson might not have dared to do that, but Police Chief Bob certainly has the ruthlessness, and his resume shows that this is not a peacetime bureaucrat. At the same time, it is impossible for the Shen family not to seek greater interests and authority when handing over the grain, in fact, before the world changed, the Shen family began to seek more political power. With the food in hand, the Shen family is estimated to succeed this time.
There are guns, there is food, and the old city can be stabilized so quickly and the basic order can be restored, and there are definitely Bob and Shen Wan to take action.
No, there is another person, the Bishop of the Holy See of Light in the city of Newlon, Jonathan Pune. In the era of scientific and technological civilization, there are very few residents of Newon City who have no religious beliefs, and even fewer devout believers, most of whom are pan-believers, using the holy light as a tool to soothe their hearts and relieve psychological pressure.
This is often the case in times of peace and prosperity, but in the event of great natural and man-made disasters, the role of religion will be highlighted, and in the face of disasters, too many people need religious beliefs to support their hearts and help them resist the pain of reality. What's more, after the world changes, does the Holy Light really not exist?
Yechen heard Huo Yun mention that there are a total of five legal professions, namely mage, wizard, warlock, druid, and priest, and the priest uses the power of holy light. Although the power of the Light is not exactly the same as that recorded in the texts of the Holy See of Light, does it matter? It doesn't matter at all, a little resemblance is enough.
The originally illusory Holy Light has turned into reality, and as the representative of the Holy See of Light in Newlun City, will Jonathan be indifferent? He could have gone on to become the representative of the Light, controlling the religion of the entire city, and thus wielding great wealth and power.
It should be like this, with Bob's armed forces, Shen Wan's supplies, and Jonathan's control of faith, the social order in the old city will be restored so quickly, at least the basic order will be restored.
The city of NΓΌlun is also close to the Ganas Forest Park and the Chilizaro Mountains in the new town, and outside the old town is the plains that have been cultivated for thousands of years, the port and the sea of red algae. In other words, the invasion of NΓΌlun City by wild animals in the forest is mainly borne by the new urban area.
Everything is balanced, there are good and bad, the old city does not need to worry about the harm brought by the forest, and they can't enjoy the benefits brought by the forest, the mutant creatures in the forest can not only provide a lot of meat, but also many of them are also materials for pharmacy and alchemy, but unfortunately Yechen is just a cook. What's more, the inhabitants of the new town have to fight the deviant animals in the forest. Many people died, and those who survived slowly became real professionals.
According to the information that Yechen and the other trialists obtained, the natives of Newun City can increase their strength and advance to the level by hunting wild animalsβor, to be more precise, all beings with psionic powers. As for the trialists, the method of leveling up is not so simple, and there are all kinds of things. The way of leveling up is the core secret of the trialist, and no one will talk about it everywhere, but in the exchange, everyone mentioned that simply hunting other lives often does not strengthen the strength. For example, Yechen herself, she can't upgrade directly, she must upgrade herself through the upgrade of her pet. As for the injured rain, it needs a "hearty battle", and the two of them still don't know what it means and how to be hearty.
In short, the new city and the old city have formed a completely different ecological environment, maybe you can find a professional in the new city and cooperate.
This is relatively easy, the residents of the new town of Newun City are yearning for a safer old town, and the trialists of the old town have been running to the new town. For the trialists, temporary comfort is not a good thing, and they would rather go to the woodland to fight wild animals and find a way to improve their strength. The Garnas Forest Park is a great place to practice your leveling.
Under Huorun's introduction, Yechen asked a Warlock of Katina Marlowe.
In order to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Yechen set the meeting place next to a creek outside the Ganas Forest Park, and specially left a ring-necked pheasant hunted by the rain and brought a barbecue grill.
Ye Chen had laid a few stones, and as soon as he lit the fire, he saw a little girl less than a meter tall walking towards her, wearing a wide robe of dark purple velvet texture, with a double ponytail, her face was pale and thin, and she looked malnourished.
"Kid, it's dangerous here, go back quickly." Seeing the little girl walk in, Yechen said. It's still a bit of a distance from the edge of the woods, but there's a lot of wildlife in the new town, let alone here? For a little girl who doesn't look like she's eight or nine years old, it's still too dangerous.
"You're Yechen?" The little girl lifted her hood, revealing grass-green hair and deep purple eyes.
"Oh." Yechen relaxed, and she also said why did a little girl pop up, it turned out that this was the person she was meeting with, "You are Katina Marlowe?" β
Yechen didn't expect that the "extremely dangerous element" in Huo Run's mouth turned out to be a little girl. There is such a saying in the seventh space: the elderly, women, and children are not easy to mess with, because they are congenitally weak in strength, and it is difficult to survive in the cruel seventh space, but as long as they are alive, it is not simple. But this little girl is too young, right?
"I'm a North." Katina crouched on the ground, looked at the dancing flames, and said with a blank face.
"North?"
"Yes, this race is naturally shorter." Katina replied.
"That's right." Yechen looked at Katina curiously. She knew that the trialists of the seventh space were not all humans, in addition to humanoids such as elves and dwarves, there were also all kinds of mountain spirits and wild monsters, as long as they had intelligence, they could all be selected by the seventh space, but this was the first time she had seen the trialists of other races.
Katina looked up and said, "It's empty, it's hidden, do you want to talk to me about any secrets?" β
Yechen put the ring-necked pheasant marinated in salt, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oil, and vegetable oil on the grill, and generously admitted, "Yes, I heard that you have a lot of energy in the old town. β
This is what Huo Yun told her, and to be honest, Yechen was a little unconvinced when she saw Katina. is also a trialist of the seventh space, Yechen does not doubt Katina's strength, but personal strength is one thing, and being able to pry the power of the old city is another, Katina's appearance is too bad, who would believe a little girl?
"Yes." Katina's answer remained succinct.
"I think we can agree on something to work with."
"For example?"
Yechen changed his tone and said, "What about you?" What do you want to accomplish? β
Yechen wanted to take the initiative in the conversation, but the topic change was a little too blunt, but she really couldn't think of a more natural way for a while.
Unexpectedly, Katina answered directly and said, "I'm a warlock. β
"I know, Huorun told me."
"I'm a warlock, I was a warlock before I entered the seventh dimension."
"That's right." I didn't expect this Yechen.
"Warlocks believe in destruction and destruction." Katina raised her head, looked into Yechen's eyes, and said, "I want to ruin everything." β
Paranoia, madness...... Looks like a warlock, Yechen flipped the ring-necked pheasant on the grill and said, "I think we have a common goal. β
"You want to destroy the world, too?" Katina said, finally no longer expressionless, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"I don't have the same big goals as you." "I just want to provoke a conflict between the old city and the new town. β
Katina was silent and asked after a while, "Why are you doing this?" β
Yechen took a small bowl, poured some honey, and said while brushing it on the roast chicken, "I want enough high-quality souls, what about this reason?" β
"Not good." Katina said directly.
"So what?" Yechen summoned Ansu from the Contract Stone and flew around and landed on her shoulder.
Yechen wasn't lying, she did need a lot of soul to feed Ansu.
Ansu is a soul body in its own right, and it has no substance, so naturally it can't eat meat, but it can make itself strong by devouring souls. It's just that Yechen has Ansu too late, and the strength of the residents of the new city is improving overall, and the result is that Ansu can't hunt: most of the prey it encounters is stronger than it, and it may not be clear who is the predator and who is the prey.
If you fall behind, you will fall behind step by step, but fortunately, it is not too late, Yechen needs a large number of high-quality souls to feed Ansu and make up for it as soon as possible.
Of course, Yechen has not forgotten the original purpose. Huorun's activity area is blocked in the new town, close to the old town. In other words, if the old city really wants to invade the new town, the first opponent is Huorun.
Katina took her eyes off Ansu and said, "That's ...... OK. β
"Okay, the first step is done, and the goal is the same." Yechen smiled and said, "Then let's talk about how to do it." β
The two agreed that Yechen's barbecue pheasant was almost cooked. She took out a few small bags, sprinkled sesame seeds, chili powder, and pepper noodles on top of the roasted meat, and roasted it a little longer, until the surface of a whole pheasant was golden brown and crispy, and then stopped.
Yechen sandwiched the pheasant from the barbecue grill into a plate, cut off a chicken leg with a knife, handed it to Katina, and said, "Come, try my handiwork." β
Katina took a bite and didn't say anything, just took another bite right away.
