Chapter Twenty-Four: A Town No Longer Peaceful

Fear from undead creatures continues to simmer in the town, and chaos is inevitable.

Fortunately, he has been the mayor for so many years, and he still has the ability he should have.

"Mobilize all remaining forces to maintain law and order, and not to act aggressively except in extreme circumstances. ”

"Yes!"

"Also summon the residents to the central square in my name, and I will personally pacify them. ”

"Yes!"

The instructions were issued one by one, and the new fragrant town on this day was destined to no longer be peaceful.

Mo Lu could faintly hear the noise of the town in the school, which sounded quite chaotic scattered and scattered.

Walking through the classrooms of the primary school during recess, I saw that many children were also infected by the outside atmosphere, and their expressions became a little nervous.

At their young age, they may not be aware of the fears of undead creatures, but they can still feel the transmission of suppressed emotions from adults.

On this day, the school ended a little earlier than usual, and the restless students were taken home by their parents.

"See you tomorrow. At the school gate, Li Ming waved his hand at Zhao Li and Mo Lu, and left with his mother beside him.

Li Ming's family is still relatively wealthy in the town, and he belongs to the children of rich families.

This can be seen from the juice he brings from home every day to drink.

Mo Lu often worked in a herb shop, so he knew that such a seemingly ordinary cup of three hundred milliliters of refining potion required a lot of blue heart grass.

You need at least eight to ten plants, if not more.

"Well, my dad is coming to pick me up, so I'll see you tomorrow, Molu. Then Zhao Li also found his father in the crowd, said hello to Mo Lu, and ran towards his father's place.

Zhao Li's father was the owner of a rice shop, and compared with Li Ming's mother, his father looked much more plain in dress, with a simple white vest and two dark arms.

After Zhao Li ran over, he seemed to start chattering about something, and disappeared into the crowd while talking about the two of them.

Mo Lu watched the two being picked up by their parents, and he didn't stay where he was, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and left alone in the direction of home.

For him, there is no way that anyone will come to pick him up at the school gate.

......

"Everyone, please rest assured, I swear in the name of the mayor that I will protect you as much as possible, and Songbai City will soon send powerful warriors to eradicate those undead creatures. ”

"Now we just have to wait with peace of mind and everything will be over......"

The central square was already full of people at this time, and most of them had some uneasiness and worry on their faces.

On a high platform in the square, the mayor of the town was holding his back straight, and his expression was serious to comfort and persuade him.

His voice was powerful, spreading through the megaphone in front of him around the square, giving it a sense of unwavering reliability.

It was his protracted and laborious speech that stabilized the mood of the residents, who were still very uneasy.

At the very edge of the crowd, under a street lamp, Mo Lu leaned there, just looking at the mayor who was still giving a passionate speech on the high platform.

He was also passing by after school when he happened to hear a sound, so he took a detour to take a look.

From the mayor's words, he knew that the mayor should have asked for help from Songbai City.

It takes about a day to travel between Songbai City and the town, and if you rush to the road, you should be able to reach it in half a day.

In other words, if Songbai City sends people to deal with the undead creatures, they will basically be able to arrive here tomorrow.

So as long as you get through tonight, you can say that tomorrow will be safe.

This is also something that the mayor has been repeatedly emphasizing on the high platform, and reinforcements will be coming soon.

After listening to the square for a while, it was already dark.

"It seems that there is a discount on black beef in the store today, and I almost forgot. Mo Lu listened, suddenly remembered the promotional advertisement when he passed by the door of the store yesterday, and immediately turned around and left the square.

It wasn't until the crescent moon showed a little truth from the sky that the mayor ended the reassuring speech with the reminder of the councillor on the side.

On the whole, the effect of this speech was good, at least the mood of the residents who listened to it had stabilized, and the news that people from Songbai City would soon be coming would also spread because of this, which could somewhat reassure the rest of the town.

Mo Lu was holding a grocery bag in his hand, his face quite satisfied.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with the strength of this promotion, and buys more animal meat.

"Treat yourself tonight and cook some more dishes, just to celebrate being born with a magical talent. Mo Lu thought so.

In the past, he would not have such an idea of squandering, which is very rare.

On the way back, many shops on both sides of the street closed early today, apparently affected by the appearance of undead creatures, and even the number of passers-by walking on the street has decreased a lot.

However, the tavern, which is often popular at night, is still open as usual.

Mo Lu passed by the tavern and found that it was a little deserted at the moment, only three or two people sitting there drinking.

Of course, this is also because the night has not yet completely come, and the popularity will naturally not reach its peak.

"Huh?"

Through the open door, Mo Lu saw that in the shadow of the tavern against the wall, there was a small man sitting there, very inconspicuous.

Mo Lu also accidentally caught a glimpse of this guy in the shadows.

With a retro mage hat on his head, and his body was also wrapped in a wide mage robe, it looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes, a little nonsense.

"Child?" Under the wide brim and shadow, Mo Lu could not see his face, but from his size, he did look like a child of eight or nine years old.

It's just that if it's really a child, how can he enter the tavern dressed like this?

If nothing else, the waiter in the tavern couldn't have let such a strange child in.

The brim of his hat turned slightly, and in the shadow, he seemed to notice Mo Lu at the intersection, and looked over as well.

I didn't feel like I was looking at him, and I still couldn't see the face of the little man.

Shaking his head, Mo Lu withdrew his gaze and walked away from the tavern door.

He didn't want to continue to explore anything, people were strange that it was someone else's business, there was no shortage of strange people in this world, even in this small town, there were many strange people.

Especially those adventurers, who may have experienced too much life and death, many people seem to have completely liberated their nature, and people in fancy clothes are everywhere, and they have unique preferences and understandings for their own aesthetics.

In fact, a person wearing a mage robe and a mage hat does not mean that he is a magician.

After all, all you need is a good piece of fabric that looks relatively soft, and you can imitate the magic robe yourself, but it is the kind that has no function and defense at all.

At present, no one will believe in your identity as a magician based on the appearance and clothing, after all, there are too many people who have used this method to deceive people to eat and drink, and there are people who pretend to be magicians everywhere.

Therefore, Moru will not think that a guy is a magician just because he wears a magic robe.

Maybe it's just a strange kid playing a game of magician with his companion who accidentally hides in the tavern and is lucky not to be spotted by the waiter, that's all.

After Mo Lu just retracted his gaze and walked away, the small figure in the shadow suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

No one in the tavern noticed anything wrong here.

At this moment, three or five strong men rushed in from the door, and went straight to the position against the wall and sat down.

"Hey, little brother, it's too dark in this place, turn on the lights. One of the strong men sat down before complaining.

"Oh, wait a minute. ”
