Chapter Seventy-Two: The Witch of the Secret Archives
I sat in bed all night and stayed awake until dawn.
Looking at the two girls who had fallen asleep beside him, his mind was full of Sonya's figure.
Having failed Sonya, Downing didn't want to do anything to be sorry for Sonya.
Get up and freshen up, open the door and give orders to the old man at the door.
"Call Romero and them, and then tell all the people to come to the square in front of the main hall, I have something important to announce. ”
The so-called square is just an open space, nothing special.
Soon Romero and the others arrived in the temple, and everyone looked tired.
"We didn't rest all night, we were going to make laws, you see, this is the outline of our discussion. ”
Romero handed over a piece of parchment with a lot of writing on it.
There are not many aspects covered in the content, and it can be vaguely seen that most of the outlines refer to the pre-apocalyptic system of the kingdom code, which is not very constructive.
Influenced by the times, people's thinking in this era has great limitations, and it is already very good to be able to create such a social system, not to mention that Romero and their people are not many, and there is nothing to criticize with reference to the old system.
Handing the parchment back to Romero, Downing didn't say anything more.
"You form a cabinet to jointly govern the dark market, as for the cabinet members are selected by you together, the number of members is preferably an odd number, all decisions need to be voted on by the cabinet members, unless more than half of the votes are passed, the resolutions you make can take effect, to avoid dictatorship. ”
Romero included the young man's comments in the outline.
That's when Thorin came up and handed over a box of bullets.
"I have copied some, but I currently have no way to configure the same metal as the sample, and the final product can only reach the ninety percent color of the sample you gave me. ”
There are a total of fifty, and Downing compared them, except for the material of the bullets, which is a little different, the rest are perfect.
After putting away the fifty bullets and getting ready, he stepped forward and pushed open the door of the main hall, all the people in the square had already arrived, and now the people were in a very good state of mind, their expressions were full of hope, and they were not in the twilight.
"Your Majesty, as you commanded, everyone has arrived. ”
The old man saluted respectfully.
Tang Ning motioned for the old man to get up, and then stood in front of the people and announced that he was leaving the place.
The audience was in an uproar, everyone knelt on the ground, and the voices begging to stay were heard one after another.
Tang Ning didn't want to dwell on this matter, and then announced that Romero and the others would set up a cabinet to govern the dark market, and formulate relevant laws to ensure the living conditions of the people at the bottom.
After the announcement was over, the people were dismissed, and Downing said goodbye to Romero and the others, leaving through the exit of the Dark Market.
It was already daylight outside, and the route from the mouth of the man who had been to the underground civilized world began to move forward.
According to the route, start from the city of Barbis, go all the way west, reach the Moonlight Plain, cross the Moonlight Plain and reach the Golden Mountains, then cross the Golden Mountains, reach the Victory Canyon, enter the Land of Wisdom after passing through the Victory Canyon, then reach the North Wind Plateau from the North Wind Plateau, then reach the Dawn Mountains from the North Wind Plateau, climb over the Dawn Mountains, reach the Coniferous Swamp, and finally pass through the Coniferous Swamp to reach the Land of Exile, where the entrance to the underground civilization world is hidden in the Land of Exile.
The route is very long, about 1100 kilometers, there is no means of transportation, if you walk, according to the calculation of ten kilometers per day, now the daytime time has become shorter, you can only walk so far, so it takes nearly 110 days to calculate.
Before leaving, I got a map from Romero, the scale of the map is a bit large, it is difficult to determine the specific geographical location, but it is better than nothing.
Before leaving, Downing went to his home and looked at Sonya's tombstone, which had been knocked down, it should have been done by those crazy monsters last night, and he re-erected the tombstone and embarked on a journey.
The road was devastated and littered with bones and carrion.
In the afternoon, when he arrived at a small town, unable to tell if there were other towns within three kilometers, and continued to walk until he could not find a safe hiding place at night, Downing decided to rest in the town.
The best place to take refuge is, of course, the classified archives of the local Bureau of Investigation, which has a magical seal.
Entering the interior of the town, the fog is thick, and the visual distance is no more than ten meters.
When I arrived at the local Investigation Bureau, I held Beretta 92F, opened the safety load, entered the Investigation Bureau, and after some investigation, found the badge on the agent's belt that turned into bones, and opened the door to the local classified archives.
Enter the inside of the classified archives, check to make sure it's safe, and then go out to find some supplies for the road.
Although I brought a lot of supplies with me when I went out, I had to have some supplies on the way to my destination.
Before going out, pluck a hair from your head and put it between the cracks of the door to make a mark.
Searched every house in the town, found some moldy wheat and flour, and fruits from some nearby trees, returned to the Investigation Bureau with supplies, and arrived at the door of the classified archives, when he was about to open the door, Tang Ning frowned.
The hair caught in the crack in the door was gone, and it was clear that someone had entered the inside of the classified archives.
Judging by the fact that the classified archives are closed, it can't be a monster, and there are survivors in this town.
Holding the loaded Beretta 92F, he used the badge to open the door of the classified archive room, trying not to make too much noise, and then kicked open the door of the classified archive room that had been unsealed, and his body jerked forward, entered the inside of the confidential archive room, rolled to the side of the door of the confidential archive room, raised Beretta 92F to the inside, and quickly probed with his eyes.
All the actions in one go.
Soon I saw a figure with his back to the bookshelves in front of a row of bookshelves.
It was a girl, dressed in a purple robe, with a pale look and a pair of blue eyes watching the figure entering the door vigilantly.
When he saw his target, Downing thought of the witch he had seen when he had just crawled out of the grave, and the witch was also dressed in purple robes.
Magic is useless to herself, so the witch is just an ordinary girl to herself, and there is no danger to her.
Tang Ning stepped forward and leaned down to observe the girl sitting on the ground, and suddenly a sly smile flashed on the girl's face.
"Don't move. ”
A warning came from the distance behind him, also a female voice.
The girl who was sitting on the ground leaning against the bookshelf got up, away from the young man in front of her, went around to the side, and took out the rope to prepare to tie the young man up.
Tang Ning twisted his lips and smiled, quickly turned around, and aimed the gun in the direction from the figure behind him just now.
A blazing blue light mixed with a fierce wind struck and hit Tangning.
When the wind had passed, Downing stood straight, unaffected.
This scene made the girl who was also wearing a purple cloak look stunned, and the girl holding the rope on the side reacted first and launched a second attack.
The arm was raised, and a bright dagger stabbed out of the sleeve.
But Downing reacted noticeably quicker, turning the muzzle of the gun and pulling the trigger.
"Bang"
With a crisp sound, the dagger broke, and the girl holding the dagger quickly withdrew her arm and held it with her other hand, letting out a muffled grunt of pain, and the rope fell to the ground.
With the enchanted tracking bullet, it was easy to kill the other party, but after discovering that the other party was human, Tangning did not intend to kill, so the girl was only broken from the dagger and was not dead.
The air in the classified archives room is stagnant.
Tang Ning touched the remaining one of his eyebrows, and frowned as he re-aimed his gun at the purple-cloaked girl who had just attacked from a distance.
"I have no ill intentions, I just want to spend tonight. ”
After explaining his intentions and seeing the ineffectiveness of magic and the skills of young people, the witch who attacked from a distance did not resist again.
At this time, I heard sobs coming from the dense bookshelves in the distance.
Downing reminded loudly.
"The man behind the bookshelf slowly came out and put his hands where I could see. ”
Soon after, a girl slowly walked out from behind the bookshelf, looking terrified, followed by another, which lasted for ten seconds, and six girls walked out, ragged and with tears on their faces.
Obviously, the six girls who were hiding just now were different from the two witches they had seen before, they were just ordinary girls.
After coming back to his senses and letting the girls sit down against the wall, Tang Ning stood five meters away, put down the materials he had collected, and turned around to start interrogation.
"Who are you?"
