Chapter 41 - The bamboo basket is empty
Brandy's attitude perfectly explains why the profession of actor needs to be hidden from the eyes of the heirs.
It is reasonable to infer that the content played by the actors must not be short-lived, and they will act as the "aborigines" of the light curtain and make horrific events in the historical fragments reproduced by the light curtain.
These events often mean the progress of history, the occurrence of important events, etc., and in short, their actions will affect the interests of the majority.
This includes the interests of the heirs, who are likely to have their plans interrupted by a sudden event and even risk their lives.
This is different from the meaning of tamers, who are harmful to the aborigines but give the successors more opportunities to get commissions, while the actors actually follow history and push the times forward, but disrupt the original pace of the inheritors.
Therefore, actors are actually the same as judges and funeral mourners, and they are professions that are not treated by the large group of inheritors, to put it bluntly, they play the role of "villains" in the huge social context composed of successors.
To take the simplest example, Brandy's original plan was instantly overturned by this disaster, and if Will was standing in front of him at this time, Brandy would not mind the consequences.
"Now it seems that the officials don't have to think about the position of the city lord."
Zhou Xinyi sat on the side like an old man at the entrance of the village and said.
"What they need to consider is whether Jizhou City can survive in the current state of the enemy," Brandy's mood has eased, "and the question of reconstruction later." ”
When natural enemies appear, human beings will always unite in unison.
Zhou Xinyi listened to Brandy's words, but suddenly remembered what he had seen in the ciphertext.
The castle lord's 244th birthday......
Not to mention how it is possible for humans to survive for 200 years...... Will the lord succeed him when he is in his 200s, or will he have been in power for more than 200 years?
How is a group of forty-year-old officials going to fight an old monster that is more than two hundred years old.
Could this partisan feud be a farce from the start?
The first hour after the acid rain fell, the Myler officer suddenly got up.
He could not sit idly by and watch this acid rain continue.
In less than a few dozen minutes, the buildings of Jizhou City will be completely corroded and destroyed, and there is no need to rebuild.
The foundations of the building were damaged, and there was a large-scale collapse, which would affect even the underground.
He is the most powerful and powerful man in Jizhou City, and he is also the person who should stand up at a critical moment.
"Myler, old friend, sit down, what are you doing when you stand up." Suddenly, the voice of the official of Zengus came from behind him.
He sat on a broken chair and closed his eyes, his figure looked a little old, "The people of Jizhou City are looking at you, don't leave here, let them panic." ”
"Staying on the back and waiting is not the way to go." ”
"Then talk to me and forget about the things on the ground for a while."
Zengus opened his eyes and looked at the square face of the official Myler. Mailer was once a warrior who relied on his support to show his face in front of officials, but he unknowingly became a famous general, and even stood opposite him in the final seizure of power.
He used to feel indignant, but after decades of officialdom immersion, all grievances seemed to be less important.
"Myler, now I suddenly realize a mistake."
Xungusi looked at him steadily, "When did we, the officials, become three-legged and more powerful than the two young masters?" ”
Myler muttered, "Since the city lord is old and gradually fades out of the sight of the city citizens. ”
"yes, from the moment he quit the stage on his own initiative."
After both sides finished speaking, they fell silent.
When they reconsider the matter from a different perspective, they all realize the strangeness of the matter.
In this way, their power has not become the acquiescence of the city lord.
"But he didn't do it for the sake of that," said Myler, "and it would only weaken his power and confuse the blood of the next city lord." ”
"The reason why I had this idea was that I found out the truth that the ciphertext appeared in Young Master Ji'an's mansion." Sungus Road.
"The ciphertext was handed over to Ji An by the city lord himself."
Myler's breath faltered.
It's no wonder that Young Master Ji An, who has limited ability, is pretentious, and before he has time to get more advantages, he has already decided that he will become the next city lord.
That's all a hint from his own father, the lord of the city!
"So he killed his own son...... "Why?" said Myler. ”
Young Master Ji An's attainments in all aspects are not as good as Young Master Ji Xun, if the city lord wants to support Young Master Ji Xun, there is no need to murder blood relatives.
"I'm afraid the ambition of the city lord is bigger than ours."
"His plan has been in the works for too many years,......"
As he spoke, Zengus chuckled to himself again, "In the end, it's just empty talk. ”
"Don't wait," Myle said, getting up and tossing the cipher in his bosom to him, "I don't feel unwilling, since the moment the lord of the city married his daughter to me, I no longer care so much about the final ownership of the lord's position. ”
Xungus scolded with a smile, "You are the one who usually stumbles the most." ”
He restrained his smile again, "Have you read this ciphertext?" ”
"It's not something we should be watching," Myler shook his head, "at least my generation, not anymore." ”
"Didn't you see the fate of those city citizens, those who were deceived by the hypocritical past, and finally died in the flames of Lingzhimu's body."
"If you want to cover your eyes, I want to open them."
"Whatever you want."
"Official, I'll be one step ahead," Myler said, "I hope that Jizhou City can continue, so that I can also leave a good name for the ages in the future." ”
After Myeller left, news of his departure spread throughout Night Street.
The officials of Myle couldn't bear the acid rain to continue to ravage Jizhou City, and went to the ground alone, trying to compete with Lingzhimu, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to expel him.
The moment he left, the sound of a sharp sword blade shook the entire Ji Zhou.
The sound of swords mixed with the torrential rain lasted for several seconds, and finally everything fell silent.
Only the lonely sound of the rain echoed in the middle of the night.
Zingus sat on the broken chair, which had broken two legs and swayed with his slight movements, but Zengus never got up.
He listened to the sound of the sword, then fell silent.
Sighed deeply.
Sungus's gaze finally fell on the thin pile of ciphertext, and his gaze became more and more profound.
Finally, he laughed unspeakably.
"Hahaha...... Our lord ......"
"You want to be the eternal master of this Jizhou!"
Jiang Yi's dark green pupils stared closely at the top of his head, as if he could penetrate the heavy stone layer and see the scene on the ground.
She held her breath, feeling the battle on the ground suddenly calm down, Jiang Yi also sent the strings that had always been tight, and sat down dejectedly.
"It's over." Jiang Yi said with a sigh.
"I didn't even make it through for ten seconds."
The heirs who heard this sentence were also embarrassed.
Officer Myler was the strongest person they thought he was, an unrivaled existence, but in front of the Spirit Wood he was like an ant tree.
Instead of being swallowed up by despair, he said, "I will provide living resources, and the people of the city will settle down here." ”
The night was particularly torturous for both the heirs and the aborigines, as the children who could not survive the night fell asleep in the muddy, while the adults pricked up their ears in horror and fear to hear if there was any movement in the night street collapsing.
At three o'clock in the morning, the buildings in Jizhou City collapsed, and there was a violent shock under the night street, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the collapse area was not large, and there were no further casualties.
It wasn't until the next morning that Jiang Yi stopped listening to the sound of rain outside.
When the first rays of sunlight shine in the morning, they feel not the quiet years, but a strong desolation.
The ground is littered with potholes and building debris, and the towers and buildings that have risen from the ground have been rotted.
The acid rain collected in the potholes, constantly corroding the few remaining buildings, and the appearance was desolate as far as the eye could see.
It was as if Jizhou City had never existed.
And the culprit of all this, Lingzhimu, still has billowing smoke rising from his body.
It was as if a stone had been pressed in her heart, and after a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "...... At least the walls are still there. ”
"As long as the city wall is not destroyed, the people of Jizhou City can still survive in the wasteland."
As long as people are alive, everything can be rebuilt.
Zhou Xinyi, who was following her, asked, "What is the current state of Lingzhimu?" ”
"The arsonist underestimates it," said Dayman, "and ordinary flames can't kill it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lingzhimu's huge body trembled again, even if it was just trembling, it made the hearts of those who saw this scene tremble, "Stand back!" The Psychic Wood has moved! ”
"Let's all go back to the night street!"
However, Reichiki ignored the swarm of ants beside him, and it moved its huge body and walked straight towards the city wall.
Its body quickly collided with the city wall, easily crushing the building that condensed the wisdom and hard work of the city's citizens, and eagerly left the city.
Seeing this scene, Dayman couldn't wait to slap himself.
Damn, how do you say a word of spirit?
"Miss Day, since Night Street and Jizhou City are gone, some secrets can be spoken, right?"
Dayman quickly pulled out of despair, "Are you trying to ......?"
He nodded, "The current Jizhou people need an outlet. ”
"Ji Zhou is gone, the city wall is broken, and the hard work of a generation for hundreds of years is ruined."
"With such a deep hatred, we must at least catch the culprit."
"Before I got the ciphertext, I saw a boy trying to set his body on fire and burn the entire psionic tree."
"Guarding him at the time were the pagans dressed in white."
"The group changed the boy to a new target after discovering that Lipper's body was useless."
"The instigator behind the heretics is Young Master Ji Xun," the anger in Daywen's heart was quickly ignited, and she said to her subordinates, "Hurry up and find Ji Xun's whereabouts for me, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die!"
