Chapter 383 [383] Revealing the Secret of the Small Town's Enchantment
Although they judged that their abnormal physical weakness was caused by the priests in Rocky Town, they had no way to find evidence.In addition, the battle between Chimera ants and humans outside is quite dangerous, but they are extraordinarily safe staying in Rocky Town.
Now they are protected by the small town, but now there is no real evidence, even if they tell everyone about this, how many people will believe them?I am afraid there are not many of them.
But this situation did not last long, because the war between humans and ants did not last long.
At the beginning of August, the war ended with the overall victory of mankind.
After the victory of mankind has been determined, the reconstruction work in various places has also begun.The young people in Rocky Town also began to plan to leave the town one after another, after all, they were about to go to work now.If the elders in the town hadn't tormented them one by one before, I am afraid that many young people would stick to their posts even if the war affected them.
But everyone started to want to go out, but they were blocked by the elders just like before.
And this time, not only the elders were among the team that blocked them, but even the mayor's grandson, a young man, was among them.
This made the young people in the town even more unacceptable, and even got a strong backlash.
Among them, everyone even put the title of "traitor" on the grandson of the mayor.
Everyone was very excited, and even wanted to get away as they did the previous time.Because based on the development of the last time, they came to the conclusion that if someone left, the town would let others go.So they want another one like that.
However, the mayor's grandson also contributed wholeheartedly during the last slam.
And a large part of the reason for the success last time was because of the elders' trust in the mayor's grandson.Most people in the town agreed that the mayor's grandson would become the mayor one day, so their trust in him was much higher than that of ordinary young people.
The grandson of the mayor soon discovered the tricks everyone used this time, so the plan failed as expected.
But in this way, everyone's backlash became even stronger.
When everyone's anger reached a certain level, the town notified everyone to hold a meeting in the large open-air courtyard of the library.
The Rocky Town Library is strange both in terms of location and design.
It stands in a residential area where the town has not been in for a long time.There are a total of eight buildings in the entire library, but these eight buildings are all very strange.Not only does each building have a minimum of three parts, but what is even more strange is that there is a particularly strange and huge patio called Lodge Plaza.
If someone looks down from above, they will find that the library in the small town of Rocky looks like gossip.This design is similar to the altar on the other side of the Yinyang River.And the entire town of Rocky Town, the residential area plus the half of the forest area on the other side of the Yin-Yang River formed a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram.
The whole town of Rocky is composed of Tai Chi Yin Yang and Bagua.
Because this time the meeting was paid special attention by the town, every household in the town arranged at least one person to attend this meeting.If the family pays more attention to this kind of thing, then the whole family will go to the courtyard square.
The white-haired and skinny mayor walked tremblingly to the center of the square, speaking into a microphone to make sure everyone could hear him.
"Many young people in the town don't understand why the town wants to keep you...cough cough cough..." the mayor coughed as he spoke.
There was silence at first, and then a voice of doubt came from nowhere.
"I don't really understand! The war situation outside has become clear, even if you go out, you won't die." This person may be good at mobilizing the atmosphere, and everyone present has the same question as him.
Since he finished speaking, many people have also started talking below.
The whole square was gradually covered by noise.
"Cough cough cough..." After the mayor cleared his throat, he pressed down with one hand to show everyone to be quiet, "This child asked a good question, I believe this question is not only in his heart but also exists in many children I’m here to tell you that the reason why you stay here is because it’s our responsibility. This is the responsibility every townsman in Rocky Town must bear.”
As soon as this remark came out, many people who didn't know why were talking about it below.
After all, this kind of thing is too ignorant, and there was no sign before.There is no such custom in the small town, and the mayor's sudden statement made everyone confused.
This time the mayor did not stop everyone's discussion like he did just now.
This time he was extra patient, and after everyone's discussions were over, the whole square fell into an ambiguous silence.
"Don't you wonder why only two places, Mercury and Rocky Town, are incompatible with other places in the Hunter Continent?" the mayor asked earnestly, "Our Rocky Town is not like an island like Whale Island. , surrounded by the sea and has a natural ocean as a barrier against foreign enemies. Then why do you think we can get such a peaceful life now?"
There was silence below, and everyone began to think about this question.
They have always known that Rocky Town and Mercury are the safest places in the Hunter Continent, but they have never thought about why.Everyone in it cannot catch the direction of the fog.
Why did the small town of Rocky get such preferential treatment and be able to exist so safely on this dangerous continent.
Suddenly a faint voice came from the crowd.
She said, "Is it because of the protection of the Hunter Society and the League of Mercury Guardians?"
Everyone looked sideways, and their minds were spinning rapidly, thinking that this answer was quite reliable.
The mayor stood on the stage and nodded gratifiedly, and said: "Yes, the reason why we can enjoy such a peaceful life is that the town of Rocky has not even suffered any blows for so many years. It must be Because of the protection of the League of Mercury Guardians and the Hunters' Society, but also from all of us."
As soon as the last half sentence came out, many people once again fell into confusion.
ourselves? !
Finally someone couldn't help asking, "Because of ours?"
"Because of our existence, there is an enchantment outside the small town of Rocky. It is because of these enchantments that we can always be so safe. Even in the previous war between Chimera ants and humans, the battle line has already pushed past Luo Qi. The reason why the strange town is still safe and sound in our town." The mayor raised his eyes as if he could see the transparent barrier, "This barrier is closely related to us, as long as we are in Rocky Town As long as there are dangerous people discovered by our townspeople, no matter whether the townspeople can pass back the news alive or not, the enchantment will still help us exclude those dangerous people from entering Small town. And no matter how dangerous and terrifying the enemy is, they will be banned in the town area when they enter Rocky Town. In addition, if they do bad things to the town, the Mercury Guardian Alliance and the Hunter The association will also keep a close eye on them."
What the mayor said reminded Himeko of the Phantom Troupe.
After she knew the true identity of the Phantom Troupe, Himeko kept wondering why such vicious bandits as the Phantom Troupe didn't act.Even in the beginning Himeko made the Phantom Troupe less dangerous because of this, and now that I think about it, it finally seems to have a reason.
I am afraid that the Phantom Troupe also knows the background of Rocky Town, so they are so obedient in Rocky Town.
So to put it this way-the Phantom Troupe is indeed uneasy and kind to the town.
Himeko made up her mind, planning to find the mayor's talk about the Phantom Troupe after this meeting.
Although I am very worried that everyone in the town is not capable of resisting the cruel and brutal bandit group, but one person is short and two are long.In particular, the mayor and his old man have experienced many ups and downs, and he may have some special experience in this regard.
There is nothing shameful about asking others for help when you encounter difficulties, and sometimes it is even a completely wise move.
After thinking of the method of asking for help, Himeko's worry about the Phantom Troupe was slightly reduced by half.But another thing and another person flashed through her mind.
Her friend in Mercury, Winnie, heir to the League of Mercury Guardians.
Is the other party protecting himself because he is her friend?Or do you protect yourself because you are a resident of Rocky Town, and because the Mercury Guardian Alliance needs to protect the townspeople of Rocky Town?
or--
Himeko's thoughts fell into another extreme, and she began to doubt everything.
After all, the truth was revealed in front of her for a while, and she discovered too many illusions.
The former lovers are false, the former Delhi is false, the former everything is false.And maybe even Hisoka, whom she loves, is a fake, so maybe her new friend is fake too.
Winnie's reasons for approaching her may not be pure in the first place.
But Himeko didn't think of giving Winnie the death penalty. She planned to return to Mercury to communicate with Winnie.
