Chapter 246: Exchange of Information (2)
Briefly sorting out the information obtained from Whitehouse's mouth, then the current situation of his father Lutga is that he has kidnapped the princess to escape from the imperial capital and is on his way back to Celeria. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If you describe it as a scene that Alice is also familiar with, it is like in a movie about police and bandits, where lawless kidnappers with hostages and a large number of police officers are heading towards the airport.
Although it is an exciting scene, if it appears in the movie, characters like this often do not end well, and will be gorgeously overturned by the protagonist who suddenly appears, not to mention, even if they successfully escape back to the Celestial side, what awaits them is the major cities that have been ravaged by the transformation of the 'Ark', and the dangerous battle is unavoidable.
"Old man, since you are here to bring rescue troops to the western part of the empire, let's take people with you and set off! Without further ado! Your granddaughter is also in Silia now!"
Alice can't help but seem anxious about the dangerous situation, and wants to return to her family as soon as possible to protect them. After all, she doesn't have a good head, and she can't do much, at best, she can only fight with her family by waving her fists.
That being said, the situation is getting complicated again...... The issue of the association sending reinforcements has become a bit tricky. β
"What the hell is going on??"
"It's better to come with us to the meeting of the Adventurers' Guild than the old man...... After all, there are some problems that need to be solved by both of you. β
With that, Whitehouse and Yuri took the two girls, Alice and Yatanis, to the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild. And the monster girls, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble during the day, ordered them to leave the city and go back to the direction of the basin.
By the time Alice and the others arrived at the Adventurers' Guild, the conference room was packed, and the atmosphere had exploded, like a bargaining aunt in the morning market, and people dressed as adventurers were arguing with each other.
"Without further ado, it's time to send someone to the western part of the empire right now! Monsters are attacking towns! Isn't it time for us adventurers to do their job?Why procrastinate!?"
"So we're already in a lot of trouble on our own side! Are you a pig's brain? The monsters on the other side of the basin have captured a large number of our companions, and their lives are still uncertain! We must send a rescue team!"
"What a stupid thing! The guy over there in the basin volunteered to stay in the monster's nest!"
"They must have been subjected to some kind of illusion or brainwashing! What kind of demonic beasts are willing to coexist peacefully with humans? Nonsense! I haven't heard of it since I was born!"
"Whether it's the western part of the empire or the basin is in turmoil...... Last night, overnight, the Lord's Mansion was razed to the ground, the mercenaries scattered and fled, and the lord Viscount Capwa disappeared...... Although our city is known as the Adventurer's Fortress and has been recognized by the Empire for autonomy, it is not a small ...... that the nobles of the Empire have been attacked and may even be killed under our jurisdiction!"
"Hah! Kapwa's aristocratic pig is doing Lao Tzu's hanging work? Recently, the ghost thing of the orc ranch that he secretly engaged in, even if he died, he deserved it!"
"Stinky boy, use your brains! Now the discussion is not whether Kapua is innocent, but the question of responsibility! If it is not handled well, it is very likely that the adventurer will no longer have a foothold in the empire! The imperial army and the legendary blade will swarm, and then a fierce battle will ......!"
"Come on, you're afraid of them? Anyway, the top priority now is to go to the west to supportβ"
"No!
"No, no, discuss the aftermath of the Lord's Mansion and find out who is responsible!"
In this way, opinions on the future policy of the Adventurers' Guild are roughly divided into three factions, and the members of the three factions are so quarrelsome that it seems that no conclusion will be reached anytime soon. As for why we don't solve it in three directions at the same time, we can only say that we have more than enough heart but not enough power.
Reinforcements in the west and in the basin are both operations that require the use of large-scale manpower. And the lord's mansion was wiped out for a while, and suddenly there was no clue at all, and no one was willing to accept this hot potato, just participating in the investigation could get into trouble.
At this moment, Whitehouse's heroic voice sounded, interrupting the quarrel of the crowd.
"Lord Viscount Kapwa, it was the old man who killed him last night!"
The sudden confession of the strongest adventurer immediately silenced the audience. Frankly admitting that he killed the nobleman was undoubtedly a self-defeating act. You must know that the current imperial law will never show mercy to the murderers of the nobles, no matter how loud Whitehouse has a reputation among the people and the industry, in the eyes of the imperial nobles, he is just a murderer who needs to be executed.
"Old man!"
"Hey, old man!"
Yuri and Alice hurriedly spoke, trying to say something at the same time. Indeed, it may be that it was White who killed Kapwa, but it was Alice who demolished the Lord's Mansion at the beginning, and it was Yuri who made the idea earlier, so it stands to reason that the two of them should bear the main responsibility, but the voices of the two were stopped by the old man of the Holy Order.
"One person does the work alone, there is no need to investigate, and when the nobles of the imperial capital come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, just hand over the old man as a prisoner! Now concentrate on the other two things! Now is the important moment to test whether adventurers like us can perform their duties, isn't it?"
As for how the empire would judge the old man, everyone present knew it, but they all kept silent, and no one deliberately spoke out to remind him. Because to do so is an insult to Whitehouse. Out of respect and reserve for the adventurer's profession, the scene became lighter but more tense and serious.
"Then the principle of proximity......"
It was still the respected Thomas who was in charge of the topic, and he glanced at the audience and said in a calm voice-
"The abandoned manor in the basin is now occupied by a large number of strange monsters, and not only that, but they have also held hostage the orcs, mercenaries, and fellow adventurers who were originally imprisoned there. Although it seems that there is no danger to life for the time being, when it comes to the strategy of dealing with them......
"Needless to say, of course it's to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Demonic beasts are crazy monsters, and there is no need to think about it!"
"Huh...... On this point, don't rush the tail number, there should be room for consideration. In the face of Flesh Fang Gang's speech, Yuri raised objections.
"Yuri, what are you messing with, that's a monster! You don't want to say they're harmless, do you?
"Actually, he's having a pretty good time, I saw him yesterday. β
"What did you say!?"
Yuri then described what he had seen and heard in the abandoned manor, and how the captured adventurers and the Monster Girl were reluctant to return.
"How could such a thing happen? It's nonsense! I, my brother and the monster are obsessed with each other?"
"Well, I still have a wife, and I kiss and hug him regardless of the eyes of others, men are really disgusting......"
Rita, the girl magician on the side, recalled the scene and frowned tightly.
"Why, how can there be such an incredible thing......"
There was an uproar in the conference hall, and the testimonies from different people increased the credibility by leaps and bounds, but everyone was at a loss, not knowing how to face this incredible truth.
"I don't know the specific reason for it, so I'll leave it to the perpetrator to answer. After all, those demonic beasts have already been tamed. β
"Tame the monsters!? Really fake! No one in this world can tame those crazy monsters! Not even the famous sages on the mainland!"
Bombshell after bombshell after bombshell caused an uproar in the crowd, and as Yuri tilted his gaze to the side, all eyes were on the two beautiful young girls who had followed Whitehouse into the chamber and were out of step with the adventurers.
"Uh......" Alice was as overwhelmed as a frog being targeted by a snake, in fact, as long as everyone present was convinced, those monster girls were no longer in danger, and there was no need to go out of their way to help the safe adventurers.
But she couldn't explain what the monster girls did, and she couldn't explain their current ecological habits and the principle of coexistence with humans, so she just hid behind Yatanis's back and pushed her forward.
"What's wrong? Alice?"
"Hurry up, explain to these uncles that the state of transforming demonic beasts and that they are not harmful!"
"Understood. Although Atanis looked like a little girl like Alice, she did not show any stage fright in front of the rugged uncles, and she explained to everyone in a calm and almost mechanical tone.
"Warcraft lifeforms have obtained the genetic information of humans, improved them, evolved brains close to humans, and gained reason. At the same time, in order to avoid the influence of the magic core on the brain, the spiritual network of magic sharing and auxiliary thinking links has been established between the individual Warcraft and the human individual through the contact and exchange of mucosal bodily fluids. The human brain replaces Warcraft for logical operations and thinking, and feeds back data to Warcraft. From the body of the monster, a high concentration of magic power is generated, and the energy is fed back to humans. In order to achieve the symbiotic form of carbon-based creatures, and use Warcraft as the mother body to integrate each other's biological characteristics, divide and reproduce, and from the perspective of human social structure, it is infinitely close to the form of 'marriage, partner, and spouse'. β
In fact, this seemingly erosive relationship is more pure than that between people. Although the monster girls have intelligence close to that of humans, they are much more innocent than human women. Coupled with the perfect appearance created by Alice's two-dimensional aesthetic after being genetically modified, as well as a variety of special 'plays' that stimulate the pleasure of the human body, it is no wonder that adventurers are fascinated and forget to return.
