Chapter 53: The Key (Yesterday's Correction)
"Kill him and kill him, what do you watch me do?" Alex was still confused, and said puzzled, "Didn't you say that you have to rely on the bloodline descendants and special weapons of the 'Tudor' family to solve him?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Mr. Alex, because you are a descendant of the blood of 'Tudor'!" The old man with heavy glasses sighed and continued, "Fate has guided you back here. ”
"Am I a descendant of the blood of 'Tudor'? What are you kidding? I was born in a slum in Andorra la Vella! Alex didn't want to believe it at all, and immediately retorted.
Although he has little culture, after being given a potion by the captain to become an extraordinary, he has also been popularized by Miss Lydia with some basic knowledge of the extraordinary world, and knows that the "Blood Emperor" Tuduo is likely to be a big man standing at the top of the sequence!
And the mayor in front of him also said just now that this town is the entrance to the "Blood Emperor" kingdom...... There is a kingdom of God, and the level of Tuduo can be imagined!
How can an "ordinary" person from a slum be a descendant of such a big man?
"You can't go wrong ...... 'God of the Four Seasons' and me...... I have signed a contract with the mayors of the past, and I can feel the 'execution' of the season...... That's why you can keep your abilities alive in a 'summer' town.
"What's more, you look a lot like the Tudot descendants who escaped from the town in the first place, and they all have the name Alex." Mayor said in a calm tone.
After hearing this, Alex was still muttering "impossible" on his lips, but he actually believed it in his heart, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, looked at the mayor not far away, and asked bluntly:
"If I help you kill 'Summer', well, the so-called 'High Priestess', will you be able to let go of my companions and my friends who were lost here?"
The mayor nodded at first, then shook his head and said, "I'm actually willing to let them go, but the reality is that it's not that easy...... Even if I let them go free, they wouldn't be able to leave the town of Lancel at all. ”
"Why?" Alex asked.
"Wanting to leave requires a special time and the right approach...... Because you are directly entering the 'inner layer' Lancel. Mayor Mare picked up his cup again and replied unhurriedly.
"I see...... Your town should be in the 'Surface' Lancel state most of the time, and only at a certain special point will the 'Inner' Lancel be revealed!
"That's why some foreign merchants and adventurers, as well as the official extraordinaries of the church, have not been aware of the anomaly here!" At this time, Abner interjected as if "suddenly".
"You're right...... Mayor Mare glanced at Abner in surprise, obviously not expecting him to guess the "truth" so quickly, so he continued with a slight bow, "Lancel Town enters the 'Inner Layer' at the end of each season, which is closer to the 'Scarlet Plains', so that the 'Season Change' ritual can be completed, so that one season dies and the other is reborn.
"But after the escape of Tudot's descendants from the town more than a hundred years ago, causing 'Summer' to stay in Lancel, this rule became no longer accurate.
"By now, the 'li' and 'table' have been completely randomized, just like the other seasons in the town that were born in 'summer'.
"Speaking of which, this phenomenon is somewhat similar to the situation before the mayor and the 'God of the Four Seasons' signed a contract more than a thousand years ago, except that the weather and climate changes are more chaotic than they were then! This may be due to the fact that the 'Scarlet Plains' is leaking more breath.
"Alas, after a thousand years of struggle, the fall of Lancel Town is probably inevitable."
Alex didn't care if Lancel could continue to exist, he thought for a moment and asked again, "Since the 'inner' town can be transformed into a 'surface' town, won't we be able to get out when it reaches the 'surface' state?" ”
"It's not that simple......," Mayor Mare said, shaking his head again, patiently explaining, "If you want to follow Lancel from the 'Inner Layer' to the 'Surface', you must be a townsfolk who believe in the 'God of the Four Seasons', and now, you need the consent of the 'High Priest' of 'Summer'...... Otherwise, the town's secrets would have been impossible to keep a long time ago. ”
Worship the "God of the Four Seasons...... Alex's face was ugly, this condition was much more difficult than getting the so-called "high priest" to agree, and establishing a connection with an "evil god", I am afraid that even if he reached the "surface" town, he would not be able to leave.
"Is there no other way?" He asked again.
"Yes!" Mayor Mare refilled his empty coffee cup and affirmed.
"What's the solution?" Alex's eyes lit up and he asked.
"There are two ways." Mayor Mare's index and middle fingers are raised, "First, I don't know......"
"I don't know...... What kind of solution is this? Alex almost burst into foul language, thinking that the old man was playing with himself.
"I really don't know...... That's how your ancestor escaped from Lancel, and we still don't know how he did it! The mayor pushed his glasses and replied in a slightly helpless tone.
My ancestors...... Yes, my ancestors were able to find a way to escape, and the captain and Lydia were so clever that there was no reason why they couldn't find loopholes in the rules here! As long as you kill "Summer" so that they are no longer in a weak state, it should be no problem...... I won't have to worry about it then. Alex was relieved when he heard this.
Abner, on the other hand, sneered in his heart and said in his heart: Although he has not yet been able to figure out the specific principle of the so-called "inner" town, there are actually many ways to get out...... The simplest thing is to pray to Mr. "Fool" and directly use the power of "Source Fort" to break the "inner layer" state here.
"As for the second way to leave, we need the help of this gentleman." At this time, the mayor suddenly looked at Abner, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be carrying a 'Tudor' nameplate and badge on your body, right?" ”
Sure enough, it's because those two things are eyeing me...... With a "hey" in his heart, Abner nodded on the surface, generously took out a nameplate inlaid with the "Tudor" badge from his pocket, and said with a smile:
"That's what you're talking about, right?"
The mayor seemed very surprised to see it, stood up and said, "That's right...... the key to the 'Scarlet Plains' is here as well...... This is really a matter of fate.
"With it, we will be able to enter the 'Scarlet Plains', awaken the 'God of the Four Seasons' who are sleeping in it, and sign a new contract with it to solve the town's crisis once and for all...... When the time comes, you will be able to get out smoothly. ”
The mayor meant what he said, but Abner just smiled and didn't believe it.
