Chapter 374: The City Lord's Decision
I can't understand the state of existence of the demihumans, but I know from Xiaoyin's mouth that the decentians will be sorry for them if they leave Icevalley City.
The Vatican left for a long time without reply, and I had to repeat this daily life in a daze, and although Xiaoyin came to accompany me every day, she still did not dare to answer me how to leave.
I had to turn my mind to the ice crystals, and I asked Xiaoyin if she knew about them.
Xiaoyin shook his head and said, "We don't use currency here, where do we have all the currency of your Sea Clan." ”
I was very disappointed to hear this answer, it seems that I have to leave Icevalley City on this way, leave here and go to the Red Huhai Sea, go to my patriarch mother, and see if I can find out the news of the ice crystal mine.
The Lord of Icevalley City, the Emperor of Icevalley, had not heard from me since he heard my request, and as time passed, I felt more and more hopeless about leaving here.
It's been seven days, and the city lord still hasn't agreed to send me away, it seems that I'm going to festering and die, I don't know if my soul will return after I die, if I can really go back, it's fine, just because I didn't complete the task, and I didn't get the ice crystals, so it's not bad for the half-human.
Hehe, no, if I haven't died by the time the mission date arrives, and I haven't completed the mission, I'll settle myself.
At this time, Huang Junyao's voice suddenly sounded in my mind again, "Xiaoling, you must remember, keep your original intention, you still have forty-two days, come on, I believe in you." ”
There is no time for day and night, and there is no cycle of four seasons, they call the time with light the time of light, and the time without light as the time of darkness, and the actual duration of this light time and the time of darkness should be the same as the time we normally understand.
When the next time of light came, the Vatican city lord finally arrived, and he walked into the hut where I lived in the company of Xiaoyin, and I knew when I saw him that today was the day of my judgment, whether it was life or death, whether it was a long life or a short life, whether it was a short death or a long death was in the words of the city lord.
There is hope in my eyes, I can live smoothly, I can live without a fester, and I still have to fight for it to stay away from death.
The Vatican sat in front of me, his beard under his chin was fluttering without wind, and I could see that his mood was a little agitated, although his face was well hidden, but the uneasiness in his eyes could still be detected by me.
"Xiaozhi, the Centaurs had a passage to the outside world a long time ago, and at that time we also had regular exchanges with the outside world, including trading with the Sea Clans at the bottom of the sea, but the passage was sealed three thousand years ago, and we Centians chose to confine ourselves in this Ice Valley City, because the persecution of the Centians was too serious from the outside world, and we would rather gradually die out in this city than communicate with the outside world anymore, and now your arrival has broken the rules of thousands of years......"
The Vatican looked at me as he spoke, his eyes were full of compassion, although I could understand but I didn't dare to agree, because this involved my life, although from the heart I don't want anything to happen to the demihumans, but if I exchange my life for the demiren's temporary peace, I can't do it.
The Vatican continued: "However, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above Glacier City, which caused panic in the clan at that time, thinking that some race forcibly broke the passage of Glacier Valley City to attack it, but I didn't expect that a mermaid fell in the end, and after the vortex disappeared, I observed it for a long time, and then I decided that this vortex was not forcibly opened by people at all, but was a force of nature." ”
The reason for the vortex was after I woke up, I once told Xiaoyin, I believe that Xiaoyin had already relayed what I said to the city lord, I thought that the Vatican would see me at that time to ask about the vortex, but then the Vatican disappeared, has not met me, it seems that he clearly identified the cause of this vortex, so there is no need for me to meet again.
But why didn't he ask me what the outside world was like? Isn't he curious about the outside world?
Xiao Yin has been talking to me about the world outside Ice Valley City, although I can't be sure if this Ice Valley City really exists, but my previous experience, whether it is the current situation of the Sea Clan or the human race, I can properly tell her, although I don't know much, but these news alone are enough for Xiao Yin to listen to the tongue, looking at the yearning in Xiao Yin, I understand that for the young people of the half-human race, their yearning for the outside world has been a long time.
Maybe the Vatican Emperor is right in his worries, and I can understand how he chooses as a half-human clan for the sake of opening a passage to the outside world, to bury the whole clan for my own sake.
But did he explain to me for a long time today just to make me die?
I watched the Vatican in a daze, waiting for him to say the outcome I had already expected.
"I want to leave the matter of opening the passage to the heavens, if the heavens agree to your departure, there will definitely be a passage, if the heavens decide that the centaurs should stay here, then there will definitely be no passages."
I was instantly confused by the words of the Vatican, what do you mean? Heaven decides, do you want to catch it? Do you guys who are such a unique super stylish demihuman so casually decide your own fate and that of others?
Seeing that I didn't react for a long time, the Vatican coughed and asked me, "Look, do you agree with this decision?" ”
I came to my senses and stretched out my hands, "Agree with what?" You didn't say anything, so I agreed to something? ”
The Vatican said unhurriedly: "Agree that Heaven will decide whether you will stay or go?" ”
"Is this heaven your heaven or the heaven we all refer to, I don't understand, what you mean is to let God decide what to express, it won't be just two words, go, stay, take the bowl and cover it and let me choose between these two bowls, right?"
The Vatican may also be confused by what I said, he reacted for a while before he understood, and then shook his head and said: "It's not what you think, let the heavens decide, it means that it is up to you to break into the secret place of our half-human race, it is said that the passage from Ice Valley City to the outside world is in the secret place, if you find the passage in the secret place, it proves that the heavens do not leave you here, you can leave directly, of course, if you can't find the passage, you also understand what the result is." ”
What is the secret place of the demi-human race, I have never heard Xiaoyin mention it, I turned my head to look at Xiaoyin, and I saw Xiaoyin's face, which had been standing behind the Vatican, and his eyes were full of fear, it seems that this secret place is not a good place to go at all.
I looked at the Vatican Emperor again, he looked at me with a generous look and expectant eyes, that means how to choose you to decide, looking at this city lord of Ice Valley City, who pretends to be benevolent on the outside but is really black-bellied inside, I hate it so much that my teeth itch, just like I am now, with a fish tail, and I can't even carry a bucket of water in my arms, you let me go to the dangerous secret place, what do you think, you tell me.
Of course, these mental activities of mine were easily seen by the Vatican, but he still looked at me with the old god and didn't say much.
What can I do if I grit my teeth secretly, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, you broke into a group you don't know, and it is already benevolent and righteous for people to save you and let you survive, and now I still hand over the secret land of the clan to you, and it is interesting enough to let you toss in the secret place.
"Okay, just do as the city lord says, but can you tell me what the situation of your secret land is? You can't let me go in the dark, you see I'm powerless now. ”
"Of course, I won't let you go to the secret place without preparing anything, and it will take a few days to prepare to open the secret place, let Xiaoyin tell you about the situation of the secret place during this time, and you will see what items you want according to her explanation, and we will definitely fully support it."
This old fox, Xiaoyin looks like a person who has never broken into the secret place, what she knows must also be hearsay, you let her explain to me I don't know where to mislead me.
But I didn't delay, since I let Xiaoyin explain her, she will definitely stay, and then I will do Xiaoyin's work to see if I can find the half-human who broke through the secret place to understand the situation.
After explaining the matter, the Vatican City Lord left, and he instructed that the secret place be opened in three days, so that I could take advantage of these three days to hurry up and prepare.
After the Vatican City Lord left, Xiaoyin still didn't speak with a white face, she just kept sitting opposite me with her head down, I patted her on the shoulder, "Xiaoyin, I'm still waiting for you to tell me about the secret place, what's wrong, so unhappy." ”
Who knew that my words actually made Xiaoyin sobble in a low voice, "I begged my grandfather to let him open the passage directly so that he could send you away, but he didn't agree, Sister Xiaozhi, the secret place is very dangerous, you better not break in, you will die inside." ”
Listening to Xiaoyin's words, I also felt a chill in my heart, the secret land that will die, it seems that my trip to the secret place is really a bit dangerous, I comforted Xiaoyin softly, and then asked by asking her to help me: "Are there any people in your half-human race who have broken into the secret land?" ”
Xiaoyin intently recalled, "I remember that Brother Ran, the eldest brother of Granny Wu's family, once went to the secret place, but he has been shrinking into the house since he came out of the secret place, otherwise Granny Wu would not have to work on his behalf to earn living expenses." ”
"Haven't you seen him then?"
"I've seen him, he's actually pretty good, but Granny Wu doesn't allow him to come out, and when I saw him, he was also in the house, and he was hidden in a dark place, and I could only hear the sound and couldn't see what he looked like now."
"Take me to meet him, I'd like to hear what he has to say about the secret land."
Xiaoyin was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll go and beg Granny Wu first, or she won't allow Brother Chang Ran to see people." ”
