Chapter 424: A 300-Year Promise (3)
The aged Jimmy staggered across the open space of the plaza to the bottom of the dividing pool.
After resting for a while, calming down the rapid breathing,
He put down the cane made of flowers and branches in his hand, and scratched the moss and cracks in the walls of the pool with his mottled hands.
Start climbing up.
The pool, which used to be extremely easy and could be climbed in three or two clicks, is now like a ladder in front of him.
He climbed with difficulty, and his body was in his old age, with the height of the climb and the passage of time,
I've begun to tremble slightly.
But he still insisted, he didn't care about failure, even if he missed, he would fall to pieces.
He has only one purpose in mind, and that is to climb up!
With his last strength, tonight must also be the bright moon.
Even if he has to pay with his own life, he can't live up to the promise made 300 years ago!
Jimmy climbed and crawled, concentrating on climbing up one step at a time.
He didn't dare to stop, and he didn't dare to think about it.
Because he knows that even a momentary stay may make him fail,
Once this climb does not reach the pool, all that awaits him is a shattered death.
Therefore, even if he can feel the power and life passing,
He also gritted his teeth and desperately persevered.
"Come on, come on!"
At some point, dark shadows gradually gathered near the square.
Silently cheering for Jimmy, who was working hard.
There are big and small shadows, high and low.
As the dark shadows gathered, the people in the distance who were looking for the truth gradually discovered that something was wrong with the square.
They began to rush in, however, when they arrived near the square and saw the identity of the dark shadow,
I couldn't help but stop.
Those who didn't want to stop were also stopped by the residents of the town.
I saw a small figure under the dark starry sky, on the wall of the pool in the square,
Climbing up the pond.
It was surrounded by countless children with their hands clasped on their chests, silently praying for it.
At the feet of the children are the cats and dogs of the town, whether they are stray cats and dogs, or domestic,
They all squatted silently at the feet of the children, staring at the glorious figures on the pool wall.
"What's that?"
The adventurer who was blocked looked greedily at the light and shadow, eager to rush through the crowd and grab the light and shadow.
However, the inhabitants of the town seem to be wary of outsiders, and tacitly build a human wall to keep outsiders out of the crowd.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree! ”
Adventurers who are obsessed with money are ready to move.
With weapons in hand, they began to threaten the townspeople.
Unexpectedly, the residents of the town stood in the way of outsiders without fear.
Whether they are tourists, or adventurous.
The mayor of the town, who didn't know when he appeared in the crowd, broke up the crowd and stood in front of the adventurers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most sacred ritual in our town, and please do not disturb it.
Otherwise, I will expel you as the mayor of Mochizuki Town.
If you dare to violate the rules of Mochizuki Town and harm our townspeople, I will report it to the Kingdom and the Adventurer Guild,
Wanted for you guys! ”
Faced with the mayor's threat, the adventurers hesitated.
They looked at the mayor and the townsfolk with a determined face, and then at the glowing figure on the wall of the pool in the distance.
I don't know what it is, but it must be a precious species or treasure.
If it's just wanted by the kingdom, they can grab the treasure.
Then leave the country and live in another country!
But the wanted list of the Adventurers' Guild made them jealous, and it was an organization all over the continent.
Although it appears to be an idle organization, they have no doubt about its deterrent power.
Once wanted by the adventurer's union, it is really a persuasion to be wanted by the mainland, whether it is a national or local force,
will not let them go.
Therefore, even if the treasure was in front of them, they hesitated.
But hesitation is just hesitation, and no one gives up.
Those who can be adventurers have long put life and death aside.
If you don't have the consciousness of tying your head to the waistband of your trousers, who will be an adventurer!
Therefore, the adventurers began to calculate in their hearts and take risks to snatch this glowing treasure.
The gains are not enough for them to risk their lives!
Jimmy didn't seem to feel the commotion outside the square, and he was intently trying to climb.
Crawl and crawl, crawl and crawl on the walls of the mottled pools of time.
Jimmy didn't seem to know what it meant to be tired, and his broken body seemed to burst out with great strength.
His gaze grew more determined, and the speed at which he climbed gradually increased.
The brilliance on his body shines again and again, as if it is a star falling on a pool.
"The treasure is shining again! This must be a priceless treasure! Grab it, everyone! Don't let the people of Mochizuki Town take over! ”
The adventurers in the crowd couldn't hold back and began to loudly bewitch the outsiders of the town.
However, those who can come to travel are either rich or knowledgeable.
Although they were curious and moved by the strange situation in front of them, they were not seduced by the adventurers.
Unlike adventurers, they have status and status, so they will not put themselves in danger for a treasure that they don't know what to do.
What's more, for the sake of a treasure to become a wanted criminal of the kingdom and the adventurer's union, you can't commit it.
Who is still a big nobleman in his family!
Even if it declines, the remaining ancestral property is enough for these tourists to enjoy a lifetime, so there is no need to risk for unknown treasures.
Of course, if the value of the treasure is discovered after a while, if the interest is large enough,
It's not that they can't get involved.
Only in muddy waters can you touch the fish.
The tourists were not moved, but that doesn't mean that the demagoguery didn't work.
Among the adventurers, there are too many reckless and greedy people.
So, someone was so agitated that they directly drew their weapons and rushed towards the townspeople.
The mayor of Mochizuki Town didn't expect that in the face of his warnings and threats, there would be people who dared to really do it.
"Damn it! How dare you! You are sinning! ”
The mayor rebuked the adventurer loudly, but was greeted by the adventurer's wielding blade.
"Mayor Beware!"
The townsfolk with wooden sticks hurriedly smashed their wooden sticks at the adventurer who attacked the mayor,
Then he pulled the mayor back into the crowd.
In the face of the flying wooden sticks, the adventurer who attacked the mayor could only use the weapon in his hand to pick the wooden sticks into the air.
Let the mayor of the town escape.
"Folks! Everyone knows who the man is in the pool! Even if you didn't see it with your own eyes when you were a child,
Should have heard his story from others, too! Now, the old man doesn't know what he's going to do!
However, he has been a part of our Mochizuki Town for hundreds of years!
Even, our ancestors, some of us, even our children, grandchildren,
I've made friends with that one! We can't look at strangers and endanger our friends and elders!
So, folks, let's unite and drive out the ill-intentioned outsiders! ”
"Get out! Get out! ”
"That's right! Get these greedy outlanders out! ”
The townsfolk roared excitedly in response to the mayor's call.
If nothing else, because when they saw Jimmy's figure, some of them remembered the magical "friend" they had met when they were children.
And those who have never met Jimmy have heard Jimmy's story from their parents or grandparents.
Therefore, the moment he met Jimmy, the entire town of Mochizuki knew his identity.
The legendary elf who steals things in Mochizuki Town!
That's a legend that has been around in Mochizuki for hundreds of years.
Now that he is in front of them,
How are they not excited!
This is the legend of their Mochizuki Town, and it is also the property of their Mochizuki Town!
The legend of Haoyue in Mochizuki Town has disappeared, but if there is a legend of the elves to take over,
They don't have to worry about Mochizuki Town being lonely at all!
Therefore, whether it is for the benefit of their collective, or for their own selfishness,
They all have to protect this legendary hero!
"A bunch of unarmed untouchables, looking for death!"
Looking at the townspeople of Mochizuki who dared to resist, the adventurer yelled in annoyance.
The adventurers, who had been watching from the sidelines, were also angered by the attitude of the townspeople and joined the conflict one after another.
Seeing that the conflict is getting bigger and bigger, many townspeople have been knocked down, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
Even some tourists who just want to see the truth are caught up in this conflict.
It has become a lonely boat in the sea that is beaten by the wind and waves, and there is a momentum that is difficult to protect itself.
At this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Presumptuous! Stop it all for this bishop! Otherwise, all will be treated as apostatists! ”
"After the yang, I was hospitalized for lung problems, and I was off for almost a month, I'm sorry.
I'll get back to the update slowly."
