"This silent town is not simple, since the beginning of the 211th year of the continental calendar, strange things have continued, a moment of mountain collapse, a moment of earthquake, the residents of the town still refuse to leave, and what is even more strange is that every time there is a disaster, no one dies, at most it destroys some buildings......"

Locke was holding a report on the disaster around Silent Town over the past few years, and there were a lot of black and white photos in it, which should be photos of the accident scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The damage is not small, you see that this house has been crushed a lot, and no one is really dead?"

Watson said, pulling out a picture of a rock collapse.

"Not only that, but in the past few years, the town has become more and more isolated from the rest of the world, and there used to be open roads for tourists, but two years ago the mayor of the town said that the bridge leading to the town was completely broken due to the collapse of the mountain, and the only way to enter it was by relying on mountain paths, because it was too dangerous, so tourists were not allowed to enter. ”

Viola took out a picture of the broken bridge and put it on the table, in fact, the orcs have a way to the town, but these orcs have always been quite xenophobic, and tourists don't want to risk going to the orc tribe.

"Didn't anyone repair the bridge when it was broken? It's not that the government pays for it. ”

Benjamin asked from the side.

"The government sent an engineering team to repair it, but the problem is that the stone bridge collapsed again for various reasons three times in a row, and many people died each time. ”

Humans are very realistic creatures, and the Erion government sees that there is no gain from investing a lot of money, so they are naturally reluctant to continue investing, in their opinion, those are vagrants, and they are already homeless, so they simply let them fend for themselves, so this place was abandoned......

At this time, Joshua got up from his seat, rummaged through the cardboard box for a while, and took out a wooden box, which when opened was several photographs of some years, probably because they were often taken out to look at, and one of them was already a little worn.

"This is a photo I took two years ago when I secretly drove to the pioneer area and walked into Silent Town, this is the broken bridge, this is when I walked down the broken bridge into Silent Town, this is when I was standing at the entrance of the town, and I was evicted by the guards there after taking this photo, and I couldn't get in. ”

Joshua placed three photographs in front of Watson.

The first photo shows the broken bridge, the weather should not be very good at that time, even in the black and white photos, Watson can still see the thick fog on the other side of the broken bridge, but the area around Joshua Station is surprisingly clean.

In the second photo, there is a remote path, surrounded by complete fog, with dense trees on both sides of the road, and a few signs with unclear handwriting, and only the words "forbidden" can be faintly seen.

The third photo shows the entrance of the town in Silent Town, this photo is a little blurry, Joshua said that he heard footsteps at that time, so he took it in a hurry, and there are two dark shadows in the fog in front of the photo, which look like people......

"Mr. Joshua wants me to visit this town, right?"

"Yes, I would like Lord Watson to visit this town, if you can...... Can you take me with you? My identity can't get in right now. ”

Joshua finally told him what he was here for.

"Oh, there could be monsters over there, or something more evil...... Isn't Mr. Joshua afraid? Isn't it good for Arlinn to say that you're the editor-in-chief of the newspaper now?"

Watson put down the picture in his hand, squinted his eyes and leaned back on the couch to look at Joshua.

"No...... Since five years ago, my life can no longer be called life, it can only be said that it is just a short life, I have been trying to save money for the past few years, and I want to find a team of mercenaries who have always been strong to go with me...... I can give you all this money, if you can take me there!"

"No need, the reward for this mission will be given to me, as for this town, I will go, just as a personal hobby, I am starting to be curious about this town, if Mr. Joshua wants to come along, I welcome it, but you have to be prepared...... You should know what kind of preparation it is. ”

In a weird place like this, ordinary people generally go in and die, and Watson will take care of it, but if it really happens suddenly, he can't be 100% guaranteed, so he can only let Joshua be mentally prepared first.

It's just that Joshua seems to have put his life and death out of the way, and the separation of his wife and daughter in the early years has forced this man's life into a desperate situation, and now Watson promised him to go with him, like the last straw, even if there is a dead end ahead, he has no way out.

"Catherine, can your car still drive?"

"Of course you can, the car keys are here. ”

"I used to have to take a taxi, but now it's convenient, and Mr. Joshua thinks he can drive. ”

Joshua nodded, and Watson smiled, got up and cut a slice of dragon meat from the table next to him, processed it, and handed it to Joshua.

"It gives you enough stamina to run faster if you're in danger. ”

Watson put down the pieces of meat, cut the large pieces of meat on the table into smaller pieces, took a leather bag from Viola, and put the small pieces of meat inside.

This was the food he had eaten along the way, and the drink Watson had already prepared, and he didn't want to go to the two places to eat.

"We're going to go over there and meet up with the government first, and as for the negotiations, it's probably going to take place tonight, and it's about the same time now, so let's go." ”

Catherine took Joshua to drive, while Watson said goodbye to Benjamin and them, kissed Viola, hugged the dumplings, followed by the dumplings that turned into dumplings, walked out of the house, and waited for Joshua to drive over.

After finally hugging Catherine goodbye, Watson got into the car, holding the guild's quest scroll in his hand, and a map of the Silent Town tour that he had just seen in the cardboard box, which showed the general distribution of the buildings in Silent Town, although it was from a few years ago, it should still be useful.

Starting from the city of Erien, I drove to the Golden Plains, and after arriving outside the city, the view suddenly became much clearer, and the number of vehicles on the road also decreased rapidly.

"Joshua, drive faster, there is no car anyway, get there early, it's better to go see the situation early." ”

Watson sat in the back seat of the car, looked at the plains in the distance, and said to Joshua in front of him.
