Chapter 512: Traveler
Since the announcement of the arrival of the monster, the residents of the royal city, especially the residents of the wealthy area near the palace, said that they were not worried, it must be false.
After all, it's a monster!
The gate lord families living around the palace are not lacking in generals who have experienced great scenes, or new nobles who have been promoted from a family of great adventurers. Of course, they knew what it was like for the monster to come.
To tell the truth, even if His Majesty the Emperor and the High Priest jointly issued an announcement, these people did not have much confidence to face this kind of disaster head-on.
Until the preliminary preparations, it was officially put on the agenda.
Several elite troops under the emperor's command entered the royal city at the first time and began to arrange fortifications around the palace. The latest equipment of the Wangcheng Research Institute was also brought out, and when it was tested, it opened people's eyes.
Truckloads of supplies were brought to the palace from outside, and the palace looked like one in the morning, and by the evening, there might be an extra defensive tower.
In just two days, this historical and cultural treasure was transformed into a heavily guarded fortress. No matter where the monster invades, it will be discovered as soon as possible and then destroyed.
When they saw this situation really happening in front of their eyes, the residents of the royal city realized that this time, His Majesty the Emperor was really moving.
Adventurers from all over the country also poured into the royal city like little mothers looking for tadpoles. For the first time in decades, the number of caravans with weapons and equipment surpassed the caravanserais.
The hotel is in short supply, the hotel is popular all day long, and the equipment exchange in the royal city has also exuded a second spring for a long time. The business-minded adventurers also made a lot of money from the residents of the royal city through the trinkets and equipment they brought.
In a way, the commerce of the royal city has once again reached a peak.
The atmosphere of the entire royal city was not at all tense before the battle, but there was a sense of excitement during the festival. This made most of the adventurers, residents, and soldiers feel strange, but they soon became part of the atmosphere.
It seems that the danger of monsters coming does not exist.
Yes, with the double assurance of His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the High Priest, I am an ordinary person, so why are I worried?
Only a small number of people are still vigilant.
For example, a man and a woman who are taking a break in a street drink shop and look a little like adventurers.
The man and woman were dressed in simple but neat clothes, completely different from the gorgeous famous brands of the residents of Wangcheng and the rugged casualness of the adventurers, just like the small citizens who came to Wangcheng from other places to visit.
But beside the man, there was a plate tightly wrapped in gray cloth, which looked exactly like a great sword. Even if the aura is obscured a little, people with a little eyesight can feel that the fluctuations coming from this big sword are not weak.
If so, forget it, the key is that there is not the slightest cramped or uneasy in the eyes of the male and female because they are out of place with the environment. Their state of mind is very stable.
Not the average person!
This pair of men and women who look like they are in the prime of life are definitely not ordinary people!
"Melsa, do you want anything more?"
"No, I'm not thirsty. ”
The woman, known as Melsa, shook the remaining half of the drink in her glass and said.
Melsa, with her hair tied in a bun and tied with a black rope, looked very dignified, and if she were not dressed in simple clothes and without any jewelry, she would definitely be considered a noblewoman.
However, Melsa's eyes vaguely revealed a sense of "sadness". Even with a smile on the corner of her mouth now, attentive people can see that this woman seems to have something on her mind, which has been holding her back, making her unable to be sincerely happy.
Even if the person sitting in front of her is her favorite lover she hasn't seen for ten years and has not heard from her.
"Really?" Hazah smiled, and continued, "Then let's rest for a while before we go." ”
This man is Hasa, who embarked on the road of finding a wife alone after the crisis of the Ancient Demon Cult in the Imperial Academy ended.
After experiencing hardships unknown to others, Hazah finally found his wife, Melsa, as he wished.
After the two were reunited, they went back to their hometown, in addition to paying tribute to their deceased son, they also visited distant relatives all the way.
This journey, for Hasa and Melsa, was a journey to heal their wounds.
At the same time, it is also to make them determined to meet the journey of the future together.
When he heard the news of the appearance of the gray giant, Hazah took Mersa and rushed towards the royal city from the halfway point of the tour.
Hasa's idea is very simple, his son was killed by an organization like the Black Rope Society, so the Ancient Demon Sect, which is similar to the Black Rope Society, is also his enemy.
If it is an enemy, it must be destroyed.
What's more, Hasa also has the ability to destroy the enemy.
Halfway through, Hasa also learned of the announcement jointly issued by Emperor Malenor and the high priest of the Cult.
The monster that appeared in the royal city descended??What are you kidding......
When Hasa arrived at the royal city, he found that the situation in the royal city was two extremes from the imaginary all-army soldiers.
That's too laid-back, isn't it?
Something is wrong, it's so wrong......
Hasa did not let his guard down, but he was somewhat affected by the environment and became a little more relaxed.
That's why I'm in the mood to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea with my wife at this acclaimed roadside shop.
"What are you thinking?" Mersa asked, looking at Hasa.
"Oh, I'm thinking about the arrival of monsters. Hazah answered truthfully.
Hasa did not hide anything from his wife. If the answer she just answered was nothing, then Mersa could also see what was on her mind, and such a cover-up would be of no benefit to the trust between husband and wife.
“...... I've noticed that you've become sentimental, too. Mersa smiled, as if she was feeling new about her husband's transformation.
"No, actually, ......" Hasa touched the beard on his chin, thought about it, and told Melsa his speculation: "I always feel that there may be Mr. Su Wen's meaning behind this matter......
After the reunion of the husband and wife, Hasa was also very frank with Melsa about his experience over the years and the fact that he was rescued by Mr. Su Wen.
"The Mr. Su Wen you said is in Wangcheng?"
"Yes, judging from the handwriting, without Mr. Su Wen's support, even His Majesty the Emperor and the Divine Sect would not have the confidence to directly meet the monsters in the city, right? Not to mention, they don't have the slightest intention of evacuating the residents...... It is impossible for them not to know the horror of the monster's arrival, and the only possibility is that they are confident that they can completely control this catastrophe......"
"Presumably, that Mr. Su Wen will definitely not sit idly by in the face of such a disaster, right?"
“......”
But Hazah was not sure about this. Because, he couldn't see through Su Wen's way of doing things at all. With his understanding of Su Wen, whether he stood by or turned the tide, it was an action that Su Wen could do......
During the conversation, the waiter's voice suddenly reached the ears of the two from far and near.
“...... Yes, there are a lot of guests, and you don't mind sharing a table, do you? ”
As he spoke, a waiter came to Hasa and Melsa with a smile on his face, bent down slightly, and asked politely, "I'm sorry to disturb the two of you, do you two mind sharing a table? Because there are too many guests...... I'm sorry ......."
Hasa was stunned for a moment, thinking about how to answer, and Mersa replied first, "It's okay." ”
"Thank you both!" the waiter was overjoyed, bent down slightly again, thanked the two, and then turned around and led the two of them, who were also a man and a woman, to come here.
"Come over here, please!"
The person who came was a young couple, the woman was beautiful and generous, and the figure was proud, even Melsa, who was also a woman, had to admit that the other party's feminine charm was even better than when she was young. Male looks...... It's a little ordinary, but from the point of view, it looks light and breezy, and her intuition tells Mersa that this man is by no means simple.
Hasa also turned his head slightly, and looked at the man and woman who were about to share a table with them.
This look made the man who was still in deep thought just now stunned.
"Eh, isn't this Hasa? You didn't go to work?" Su Wen asked strangely, then his mind turned and he slapped his thigh: "Oh...... Didn't that Mia want to tear me apart?...... It's over......"
Regina took a slight step to the side, a "I don't know him" expression on her face.
Melsa's face was full of surprise, and it was hard to believe that the man in front of her was the god-like "Mr. Su Wen" in her husband's mouth.
Hasa scratched his head, and in the face of Su Wen's somewhat dramatic questions, he could only help Su Wen pull out the stool in embarrassment and said, "Sit." ”
