Chapter 4: The End
On that day, everyone thought that they would definitely die, and they were ready to fight to the death, but what they didn't expect was that strange things happened one after another!
First of all, I heard that the Xuanyu Divine Stone suddenly changed for some reason, and it was strangely broken into zero and divided into four!
Then he was stolen by the young and promising Dr. Yami and a well-known three-star bounty hunter, and then the sister of the commander of the Long family's reinforcements was also involved!
Suddenly defected without warning, stole another piece and went to take root with the Great Demon King!
What everyone didn't expect, couldn't believe the most, and what everyone couldn't accept the most was that the last piece was taken away by Hank, the head of the town's defense regiment and the combat hero in everyone's hearts......
And it seems that he also went to the enemy camp?!
This is not the end, Potter, who had already broken through the two lines of defense, suddenly stopped moving, did not continue to attack and destroy, and it didn't take long for the monsters that were gradually approaching to start withdrawing in the eyes of everyone in disbelief!
The army of monsters under the pressure of black pressure was gone in just one night!
At this point, although it is a little inexplicable, this protracted battle has finally come to an end!
To everyone, all this is like a dream, so unreal!
The potholed ground, the dilapidated houses still burning with flames, and the rubble everywhere are a testament to what has happened here!
Everyone except the old mayor was stunned, and it was not until a long time that they came to their senses, recalling this incredible strange incident and contacting Hank's proposal to hand over the Xuanyu Stone to protect the village at the meeting before, and everyone suddenly realized......
Although everyone understands that he should have saved everyone, they still can't help but blame him, scold him, hate him, and even regard him as a traitor!
After all, the status of the Divine Stone is too important, and the traditional concept that has been passed down from the ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years has long been deeply rooted and cannot be shaken!
As a result, the hero who saved everyone was treated as a traitor, and everyone had mixed feelings because they were actually saved by him......
After the monster army retreated, the town began to rebuild.
The hunters in the southern caverns are nowhere to be found, only that there are many monsters there now.
The location of the Xuanyu Hall has also become flat at some point, but the people passing by on the road are indifferent and not surprised, as if this place was like this before, there has never been any building, and everyone tacitly did not mention anything related to the Xuanyu Divine Stone.
Another major event was that in this very difficult situation, the old mayor also took out more than half of the food and money in the town to help the town of Odo.
Of course, this is not because the mayors of the two towns are very good old friends, but because the town of Odo sent all its troops to rescue the town of Rado, so that after being attacked by another part of the monster army, the whole town suffered heavy casualties and almost perished, which is very tragic......
The impact of this battle was so great that it was known as the Battle of Rado!
Since then, the human power has also been reshuffled again, the Dragon family of Kara Town has fallen out of the ranks of the three major families, and gradually faded out of people's sight, the Hunter Guild was forced to carry out major rectifications, and the two largest towns that were known as the second and third largest towns in the world at that time also declined.
Due to the distance between the two towns, after the death of the two old mayors, there was little contact due to the large number of monsters and the destruction of the teleportation center......
Time flies, and forty years have passed.
The town of Lado is now about two circles smaller than it was forty years ago, and the whole town is fenced off around it, and all roads leading to the town are barricaded, and no one can drive a chariot into the village, as long as there is this rule, no hunter or anyone can mess around in the village!
The Chariot Repair Shop is now the largest building in the town of Lado, built at the entrance to the town, and looks like a building made entirely of steel, and looks like it is some years old and some broken places are reinforced with wooden planks, and the Chariot Repair Shop is also the only place in the town where the chariots enter, and the sign at the door is full of crooked and crooked handwriting full of engine oil:
O naΓ―ve hunter!
What is under your feet is a roadblock for traffic!
Got it?
You can't drive a chariot over a barricade!
Of course, I'm not going to do that kind of thing!!
Hey! Childish hunter!! Remember!
The owner of the repair shop is tall and burly, with a very muscular appearance and a full beard, and he is 62 years old this year, but he still looks like a man in his thirties.
With only one employee in the shop, it was evident that business was not doing well, and most of the space was rented to a hunter's property store, a chariot supply shop, and a scrap metal recycling station.
In fact, the repair shop is a very profitable industry, but because there are too many monsters outside in recent years, the northern level has been blocked, and the low-level warriors outside can't enter, and the high-star hunters don't bother to come, and most of the monsters that can be encountered inside are relatively weak, and usually the warriors can easily kill without driving a chariot at all.
Therefore, there is no chariot for him to repair, so naturally he can't make much money, but he has been struggling to support it, because it reminds him of his former dreams, and he feels very kind when he sees the chariot, but unfortunately he can no longer continue to pursue his dream due to physical reasons......
"Dad, it's time to eat, Uncle Jack is going to eat too, I've made a new dish today!"
A nice voice came from upstairs.
"Got it, I'll be right away!"
Jack, the repairman, answered, then turned to the raunchy, bearded repair shop owner and said, "Let's go, old man, let's eat!" I don't know what new tricks your girl did today, it's really exciting! β
"Humph! When it comes to eating, I come to the spirit, and I haven't seen you so active in my work! β
The man he called Lao Shang heard the old man's greeting, stopped what he was doing and scolded him with a smile.
"Hehe, the main thing is that your Wenhui's cooking is really good, much better than the chef in the hotel, people want to eat again after eating, and they can't eat enough, it's really humiliating that you don't allow her to go out to work and help in this repair shop."
Jack glanced at Lao Shang with some regret and continued: "Speaking of which, if anyone can marry your little Wenhui, it is really blessed, to have a figure, to have a good appearance, to be beautiful, proficient in laundry and cooking, and to have a good temperament, where to find such a girl who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, how can you give birth to such a good daughter?" β
"It's related to you, not your daughter!"
Old Shang gave him a blank look, not caring at all that Jack belittled him, but was quite happy for him to praise his eldest daughter.
Jack said: "Haha, let's go, if you don't eat again, the food should be cold, don't live up to Wenhui's wishes!" β
The two climbed up the stairs, "En~!
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Jack couldn't help but admire, his saliva was about to flow out, and he didn't blame Jack for his appearance, after all, it was really rare to be able to make this level of food with ordinary ingredients!
"Then let's try it", Wen Hui smiled, "If it's delicious, eat more, and I'll make it for you next time!" β
"Well, what Wen Hui made must be delicious, you must eat more!"
Jack gulped down as he spoke, looking like a beggar who hadn't eaten for many days, and watching Jack's deliberately exaggerated eating appearance caused a burst of laughter between father and daughter.
"Old thing, be careful of choking you to death, by the way, Wen Hui, what about your brother, why didn't you see others?" The bearded man took a sip of wine and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Oh...... What's this...... He ......"
Shang Wenhui was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
"Humph! You don't have to hide it for him, are you running to the bar to listen to the story again? I fantasize about being a bounty hunter all day long, and I want to be the strongest warrior, and when he comes back to see me, I won't take care of him! β
When he saw his daughter's appearance, how could he not understand what was going on, and the beard instantly sank his face.
"Daddy......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, eat!"
The bearded man's face is a little ugly, this son is almost an adult, but he fantasizes about becoming a super warrior all day long, if he encounters a powerful monster one day, he may end up like himself, he sighed silently in his heart, he knows the pain of not being able to continue to pursue his dreams...... This kid always doesn't let himself worry!
As the saying goes, knowing the son is better than the father, and it is true!
The Bar in Lado Town, walking north along the chariot repair shop, is about the size of two ordinary houses, and a large sign with the word "BAR" on the red roof is placed in the center, which is very eye-catching, and the faΓ§ade decoration can be considered more decent than other places.
At this time, a young man in a flying cap was sitting next to an old man in the bar, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, thin but full of strength, and his face was childish but quite handsome.
"And then, then, did the hunter take down that monster?"
The old man did not answer immediately, stroked his beard, and said to the young man with a smile: "En...... Well, let me think about it first, uh, ahem...... I seem to be a little thirsty~! β
This old man's name is ****.,Ever since I heard that there was a boy who likes to hear about the warriors fighting monsters and hunting the bounty head often asks people to drink as a reward.,He often comes to the bar.,He likes the boy in front of him very much.,After all, as long as you make up a story, you can drink for free and such a good thing?
Sure enough, the boy took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to drink?" I'll buy it for you! β
The old man's eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, waiting for this sentence!
"It's the same old thing, just wrestler wine!"
"Well, okay, I'll be right here", the boy trotted all the way to the bar, "Boss, a glass of wrestler!" β
The bar owner didn't look up: "3G! β
Listening to the voice, he knew that the boy who liked to listen to the stories of the bounty hunter was here, this little guy was a frequent visitor here, often came to listen to people tell stories, and occasionally came to buy wine but not to drink it himself, usually bought for the storyteller to drink, after a long time to be familiar, do not need to be treated like a regular guest, hear his voice directly quote the price.
"Well~......"
The boy dug for a long time and found that there was no money in his pocket, what should I do?
Since his father knew that he paid people to drink and listen to stories, he never gave him pocket money, and he relied on his sister for relief on weekdays, and his sister helped in the repair shop at home, and she didn't have a salary and couldn't give him much.
The young man pretended to be pitiful and begged, "Boss, can you owe it first...... I...... I'll make it up next month! β
"No way!"
The boss turned a blind eye, he had seen this kind of scene N many times, naturally he wouldn't believe his nonsense, and he still remembered that every time he ran to his house to ask for money, he was scolded by his grumpy father, and on the surface it was a lesson to his son, but in fact, he scolded Huaidi and even brought himself in, so ashamed that his old face turned red and he never gave credit again!
The young man walked back dejectedly, the old man saw that he didn't bring wine back, plus that look, where could he not understand what was going on, "Cheng Fang, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to go back to first, and I'll tell you the story next time!" β
With that, the old man left.
When you have the money to invite me to drink, the story can't be told in vain, and the story has become less and less difficult to make up for so long, the old man secretly thought in his heart.
"**** grandpa ......"
The old man didn't respond and walked out of the bar directly, and the boy sighed in the direction the old man left, and then left the bar as well.
Along the way, the boy wondered about the follow-up plot of the story told by the old man and said to himself:
"It seems that we will have to wait until the next time I save enough money to know what happened to the hunter, there are more than 10 days until next month, and my sister has no pocket money now, how can she make money?"
"Hey! Don't you can't think about it, even if you can't think about it, jumping into this little pond won't drown you, don't scare the goldfish away for me! β
When the boy heard the voice, he suddenly stopped.
When I looked up, I realized that there was a pond in front of me, so dangerous, I almost fell down!
And next to him, there is a little brown-haired little Lori with two sky-high manes on her head, staring at herself with big eyes, and she looks very cute with a puffed out.
The boy smirked, and was about to explain.
"Shh~"
Seeing that he was about to speak, Xiao Lori hurriedly put her fingers in front of her mouth, signaled him not to speak, and then looked at the pond, and this look suddenly became angry!
"It's all your fault, the goldfish were scared away!"
The girl turned and stared at him, her eyes were full of moisture, and she seemed to be even more angry than before!
ββ¦β¦ I didn't say anything! β
The young man innocently looked at the little brown-haired girl in front of him and wanted to say something, but when he saw her eyes as if he was about to eat people, he immediately swallowed what he was going to say, and he didn't know what to do.
Seeing his dumb appearance, the girl blinked her big cute eyes, and her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of some good idea, and she was immediately happy.
"Well, forgive you for the sake of not intentionally! By the way, have you ever seen the uncle named Minchi who lives there? He seems to be experimenting with raising the dead! β
As she spoke, the girl pointed to the research institute not far away, remembering that the last time she went, she was scared half to death by the talking brain in the container, and when she came out, she was disgusted by the things on the table for a long time, and dared to scare away my goldfish? Hum! If you don't scare you to death, you have to be disgusted to death!
Seeing the boy's reaction was obviously that he hadn't been there, Xiao Lori immediately described it with a fluttering eyebrow: "It's fun there, I won't lie to you, if you don't go, I'm sure you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" β
After finishing speaking, he deliberately pretended to be very happy, as if it was some kind of fun fantasy playground!
"Really?"
The young man's eyes lit up, and his spirit was obviously serious.
"Of course it's true!"
Little Lori is secretly happy in her heart, go ahead, scare you to death, disgusting you, hehe!
Of course, the boy didn't know what the little Lori in front of him was thinking, and walked towards the research institute, there was such a fun place, why didn't I know before?
"Huh, what about people?"
When I walked to the door, I suddenly turned around and just wanted to ask Xiao Lori if I wanted to go with me, and when I found that there was still half a figure behind me.
However, the boy didn't think much about it and opened the door of the research institute.
Walking through the narrow aisle, I saw that the room was full of all kinds of equipment, messy wiring, experimental tables, glass containers, and in front of it was a large laboratory, and the wiring on the surrounding devices was connected to the central test bench.
A bald middle-aged man in a white coat is busy in it, with a pinch of white flower hair on each side is very symmetrical, and a pair of round reading glasses on the high bridge of his nose, like a scientific madman!
I said hello to him, but he didn't seem to hear it, and thought to himself that he might be working on something, so I'll walk around by myself, and according to the girl, this should be a fun place.
The institute is not big, except for the front laboratory there are only two or three rooms, knocked on the door of the first room, and no one answered for a while, with the attitude of giving it a try, I pushed it casually but found that the room was not locked.
