Chapter Twenty-Six: A Little Bit of It's Going to Be a
What, this guy is quite able to talk.
Luo pursed his lips slightly, thinking that he would stutter for a long time and not be able to say why, and finally let himself go up to save the scene.
But it's strange to think about it, why can a Sanmen from a small county town be so calm in front of everyone?
You must know that she has been training for a long time to overcome stage fright.
In addition, although this speech sounds exaggerated, at least the goals and means are complete, and the levels are quite clear, which is something that most people can't do.
And the crab......
It was said that it had nothing to do with it, but coming over at night with such an unexpected food, I'm afraid it was also to prove that he had a way to rely on his own ability to gain a foothold in Qingshan Town, which was cut off from supply, right?
Xia Fan...... What kind of person is it?
Lowe gently shifted his gaze to the crowd still digesting the information.
Compared with the restlessness just now, the atmosphere of the exchange of heads and ears has changed at this moment, and it is obvious that the biggest impact on everyone is not the unity and the fight against the great wilderness head-on, but the fact that "everyone has a chance to pass the exam".
In addition, the plan to transform a small town into a city also reduces the panic in the minds of the candidates - people like to conform to the herd, and the more numerous, the more so. Regardless of whether the plan worked or not, the fact that the family and the scattered family were left in one place was already a great reassurance to them.
So far, the plan is going well.
"Luo Qingqing, what do you mean by that!?"
Suddenly, an angry rebuke interrupted her thoughts.
She turned her head to look, only to see Fang Xiandao walking over with an angry face, "I just heard that your Luo family drove all the people I arranged out of the well and sealed the well?
"Brother Fang's words are serious. The little woman had to do this just for the sake of safety. Luo leaned over lightly and said, "Last night, a disciple reported that several animal corpses were found in the depths of the shaft, and once the night comes, they will also become part of the evil spirit. Considering that there are many corners of the shaft that are difficult to explore, it is most appropriate to block them. β
"This is obviously a necessary risk!" Fang Xiandao didn't believe this nonsense at all, "Even if there are a small number of corpses, they have to line up, and for the family, it's just a matter of one or two more people to deal with!
"That's a good question, that's exactly what we're talking about. Luo Changtian!"
"I'm here. Luo Changtian responded.
"Please explain our new countermeasures to Fang Xiandao, if he still has any questions, you can come to me again. β
"Got it. Brother Fang, please come with me. β
"What a new countermeasure, you're clearly retaliating! Wait, don't pull me...... Hey, stop ......"
Seeing that Fang Xiandao was being dragged away by his senior brother, Luo You'er made a happy grimace.
"Hmph, you deserve it, you are deliberately angry when you grab the place. β
Luo also showed a smile lightly, what she remembered was the discussion with Xia Fan last night.
"I see, your plan is feasible, but what about the Fang family, they have the ability to guard the well, and they don't need to listen to you. γ
"It's very simple, just let them, like Sanmen, have no choice. γ
"Aren't you afraid of being hated by them?"
"If you can pass the exam, there is no unquenchable hatred. Big deal, I'll treat them to a fried crab meal too. γ
"Why don't you leave this crab to the Luo family and leave them with no choice, and I'll do it for you, how about it?"
"Oh, you don't like the Fang family?"
"It's just an exchange of courtesies. γ
I have to say, this feeling is really good......
"Luo Qingqing, is it really okay for you to choose to cooperate with Xia Fan?" Luo Tang said with some concern, "Senior Brother seems to be very dissatisfied, thinking that you should make the arson public and let Xia Fan take all the responsibility, while we continue to explore new hiding places as originally planned." He said that if you do this, you are giving all your reputation to others, and if the news spreads in the future, the Luo family will probably become a laughing stock in the mouths of other families. β
Luo gently patted her on the shoulder, "Maintaining the order of the world is the responsibility of the Privy Council. But in the process, it is inevitable that there will be a problem, that is, which order to choose to maintain. β
"Which...... Order?"
If the latter is worse than the former, then there is no need to consider it, but what if the latter is better than the former?"
Luo Tang opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the answer.
This is not an easy question to answer, and everyone will not think the same way. There is nothing wrong with choosing your own order, because it does not need to be adapted, and it is in your best interest. Luo said softly, "But I will choose the better one - organize the evacuation of the candidates, also because it is better than letting the door go and watching the chaos spread." β
"Just as the Privy Council came out of the Six Departments and put an end to the endless evil events that emerged in various places after the fall of the Eternal Kingdom, as long as a better order is constantly chosen, then the new order will get better and better. And as the defenders of these new orders, they will never be a laughing stock. She exhaled slightly, "I was really reluctant to hear about his plan, but that didn't stop me from working with him." I hope you understand that it was not me who chose Xia Fan, but who chose a better order. β
......
"This is the newly collected medicinal herbs from the logistics team, and I have handed them over to you. β
"Is the paper ever made into a talisman?"
"Wait, it's right away. β
"I'll come first, Genshu is ugly, and Longshan is made!"
As one of the test takers performed his magic, the ground between the two houses began to arch upwards, climbing up the wall little by little, until it reached the top of the first floor.
"Whew...... No, I'm running out of gas today. As soon as the spell stopped, he gasped and sat to the ground.
Someone immediately stepped forward and measured the height of the arched ground, "A total of nine and a half feet of climbing, not bad, better than the previous group." β
"Who's next?"
"Let me try. Another alchemist took the medicine bag and stood in front of the house.
"It seems that the progress is quite fast. Luo paused and looked at it for a while, and said to Xia Fan beside him, "It's hard to believe that these people were still calculating with each other two days ago, and they were fighting each other. β
From the time the plan was announced to the afternoon, the center of Castle Peak had turned into a noisy construction site. All the casual candidates were mobilized and threw themselves into this vigorous transformation. Among them, the fastest progress is the peripheral demolition team, a demolition team composed of more than 40 people, almost in just two hours, the houses in the outer circle of the tic-tac-toe were completely scavenged. All the utensils that could come in handy, such as pots, kettles, door panels, and hoes, were gathered in front of the teahouse.
The second is the leak plugging group, which accounts for the largest number of people, close to sixty people, and the children of the family also account for the largest proportion. When it comes to magic skills, the family does have an incomparable advantage. They used Genshu and Kunshu to seal the gaps between the rooms of the building one by one, and then used wood to build simple defensive facilities such as fences and platforms.
In just half a day, the appearance of the town has become unrecognizable, the original smooth green brick road has been pried into potholes, a large number of bricks have been used as raw materials for reconstruction, and the two-story houses in the inner ring are connected by crude dirt walls, due to control problems, many mud walls have even invaded the inside of the wall, at first glance there is a feeling of "activation", both ugly and terrifying. However, compared to the original Qingshan Town, it is more like a fortress at this moment.
Of course, everyone was not so active at the beginning, even with the endorsement of the Luo family, there were still a lot of candidates who questioned the plan, and the main question was not whether they could withstand the night of the Great Wilderness, but whether so many people could get enough prey in time to survive the last two days of the exam.
The only disadvantage of Fang Shi is probably in the consumption - once the stomach is not filled, the efficiency of air extraction will be greatly reduced, and it will become no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, the first to achieve results and drive the whole situation is neither the demolition team nor the leak plugging group, but the hunting team. According to the guidelines, it only took half an hour to catch a large number of crabs from the live stream in the back mountain, even if it was not enough for everyone to eat, but it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the candidates who had been without food for a day. It can be said that it was after eating the fried crab feast that everything was on the right track.
"They fought because of interests, and now they cooperate for interests. Xia Fan chuckled, "There is the pressure of survival from the great wilderness night outside, and the temptation to pass the exam inside, as long as it is not a common hatred, you should be able to endure it." This is not a solution to the contradiction, at most it is just to suppress the contradiction, and it may explode after a long time, but fortunately, we only need to hold on for two days. β
"Oh, I thought you would boast that you made good decisions and had a lot of call-to-call power. β
"Am I such a self-aware person in your eyes?"
"It was really similar when I came to the door last night. Luo walked forward with his hands behind his back, "By the way, where did you learn these things? What is the plugging group, the survey team...... Review improvements as you go, as if you're not in charge for it for the first time. Don't tell me you learned from books, they don't teach that. β
"Of course there won't be in the book, just like the tricks of the gangs won't be recorded in the book. Xia Fan slowly followed, "I have been wandering with Master for more than ten years, and I have learned a few hands. β
"Really?" she glanced at him, her eyes full of disbelief, "It's okay if you don't reveal it, but it's best to talk less about your past in the futureβfor a promising alchemist who serves at the feet of the Son of Heaven, a humble birth is not a qualification worth talking about." β
Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned, "What did you say?"
"Otherwise, who else. Luo said lightly, "As long as you can successfully survive the night, with your decision, you will definitely be the best choice." The top three in the taxi examination will all be assigned to the capital of Gyeonggi, and from then on, they will ascend to the sky and be above 10,000 people. Is there anything wrong with the prospect of a bright future?"
He didn't know what to say for a while, this was something he had never considered - for Xia Fan, the only purpose of taking the taxi examination was to facilitate access to everything in the arts, and he really hadn't thought about it.
"Rest assured, you'll get used to it. Luo lightly misunderstood his expression, she turned around, and said with a smile, "I thought that after the exam, we would not cross paths again, it seems that I was wrong." In the future, we will probably work together in one house, so I would like to ask for your advice. β
