Team Leis said goodbye to Jessie and returned to the hotel. After lunch, they each went back to their rooms to rest.
In front of Ryan's eyes, Jim and Jessie always appeared, and he felt sorry for them. Innocent childhood should be carefree, but how many children like Jim and Jessie are struggling to fill their bellies in this city
Ryan wanted to help them, but he didn't have much money, not to mention what would be the use of all his money? This situation was not caused by Jim's fault, but by the city lord's decree.
The city lord can issue such a decree so that the people in his city have to work in dangerous mines, and then only exchange for two simple meals that can barely fill their stomachs. However, this absolutely unfair and unreasonable decree was actually approved by the rulers of the empire!
Ryan walked out of the room and wandered aimlessly in the corridor. He felt that his mind was in chaos. His admiration for heroes since childhood and his longing for the world outside his hometown are his biggest motivations for leaving his hometown. However, many of the scenes he saw after leaving his hometown were completely opposite to what he had imagined before. Ryan really didn't understand why this was the case!
Maybe, as Alando said, "If everyone was kind, there would be no inequality in this continent, and there would be no more disputes. This is of course impossible, and there are only two ways, either I will be slow Slowly adapt to the situation on this continent, or I have enough strength to change everything. Why can't I think about it? "
"I don't know, can I change all this?" A thought suddenly appeared in Ryan's mind. He shook his head vigorously and shook the thought out of his head completely. Ryan laughed at himself and said: "I must be Hearing too many stories about heroes.”
"Fanny, we can help them" Alina's voice reached Ryan's ears.
Ryan stopped his thoughts and realized that he had reached the rooftop platform he had visited yesterday evening.
Faras and Alina seemed to be arguing about something. Ryan heard Faras say to Alina: "I know how you feel, but have you ever thought about how many Jessie you can help? And how long can you help them?" ?”
Alina said unconvinced: "Someone has to do things. If each of us helps them, their situation will gradually improve."
Faras shook her head, with a look of pity on her face. She stroked Alina's hair and said, "Ani, things are not as simple as you think. Haven't you ever thought about who caused it?" Jim and the others’ current situation?”
"City Lord!" Elena shouted loudly, "Why doesn't the empire care about these greedy guys? Don't those bastards in the imperial capital even have eyes?"
After listening to Alina's words, Farasi's expression suddenly changed, but she quickly adjusted and said to Alina: "Aini, things are not as simple as you think. There are two hundred empires in all sizes. With multiple city lords, the power of the empire simply cannot do this. It can only be restrained as much as possible. As long as they do not openly violate the laws of the empire, do not rebel, and obey the rule of the empire, they can do what they want to do in their territory. matter."
Alina said coldly to Faras: "Faras, that means that the empire sacrifices people like Jim in exchange for so-called stability?"
Faras explained to Alina: "Do you think Jim is pitiful? Have you ever seen anyone more pitiful than him? Do you know how much energy the empire spent on quelling the Senat rebellion last month? How many losses did the residents of Maury City suffer due to the rebellion? If the entire empire is in chaos, who will be the most unlucky? It is Jim and his friends. They have no power to protect themselves and can only let others slaughter them. Instead of that, why not Like now, at least I still have something to eat and a place to live.”
Alina's eyes were fixed on Faras, and her hands were clenched into fists. Although what Farasi said was unpleasant to listen to, it was indeed the truth.
Ryan saw the two people were in a stalemate, and he thought he could help them reconcile. After all, they were both members of the Raisi team, and there was no need to make the relationship like this.
Ryan deliberately took a few heavy steps, making a dull sound.
Faras and Alina were attracted by the sound, and turned their heads to follow the sound.
Seeing that it was Ryan coming, Alina loosened her clenched fists, turned around, and covered her face with her hands. Faras nodded to Ryan as a greeting.
Ryan deliberately changed the subject. He asked Farasi: "Who announced our mission?"
Faras said: "It's the Lord of Elmida City, the one who forces others to work in the copper mine under his name. He uses a high-level fire magic core as a task reward. I saw that the magic core is very If it suits me, that’s what’s next.”
Ryan asked: "Would he be so kind?"
Faras said: "Actually, it's not that he has good intentions, but that more and more people have disappeared in Hermida City recently. He is worried that if this continues, he will not be able to find enough labor, which will affect his own interests."
Ryan nodded thoughtfully.
Faras added: "When we took over the mission, we thought it was just an ordinary kidnapping. Now that we are here, we find that it is not the case. The situation here in Elmida is that except for the city lord, there are almost no rich people. Even if If you kidnap, you will also kidnap the city lord. I can’t think of any use in kidnapping these miners who can’t even afford food?”
Ryan said, "Yeah. It's really weird."
Farasi added: "After hearing what Jessie said today, it's really hard to believe. According to her description, what kind of monster is it? What's the use of catching these miners?"
Reid's voice came over: "You are all here, that's great. Come to my room, I have something to tell you."
Faras followed the sound and saw Red standing at the entrance of the roof platform with a serious face. He changed his usual appearance and asked strangely: "Red, you seem to have never been so serious. What's wrong?" Something?"
Reid said: "These are some of my guesses. If they are true, then we will be in trouble."
Faras said: "Okay, let's go together and hear what your guess is."
Faras and the others followed Red to his room, and saw Alando already there.
Reid said: "Now that everyone is here, I will tell you my guess."
Reid said: "Today we found Jessie and heard her talk about some so-called demonic things. I have always had a bad premonition in my heart. After eating just now, I thought about it again in bed. I thought I had seen the appearance of the demon and the piles of bones described by Jessie in a book, so I recalled it carefully, and the result surprised me."
Faras said: "Red, stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."
Reid said seriously: "Do you still remember the invasion of the undead army 200 years ago?"
Farasi said: "Who doesn't know this? Please tell me your guess."
Reid said: "Fani, don't panic, I will tell you all this. There are my guesses in it, and what I read in the book, plus Jessie's words, I put them together, That’s the conclusion we came to.”
Faras nodded. Seeing that Red was very serious, she didn't interrupt anymore. She just sat there and listened carefully to what Red said.
"I have read relevant information about the catastrophe 200 years ago, especially the composition of the Army of the Undead. Although the Army of the Undead was nominally commanded by the demon 'Aleister Caslavin', the actual command was But the power belongs to his wise man, the Lich Kangs."
"This lich has terrifying strength. He used a certain method to create a large number of lichs, and through these lichs, he commanded various legions."
"The main component of these undead legions are skeleton warriors. Although these warriors transformed from human corpses are not as powerful as when they were alive, they are too large in number and require almost no supplies. All they need is a lich. Control thousands of such warriors. The Lich Kangs uses this method to command the huge undead army."
Reid took a breath and continued: "But although there are many skeleton warriors, they are basically cannon fodder. The Lich Cons has created another terrible murder weapon. He assembled the body fragments of Warcraft and humans and synthesized them. Created an undead that possesses both the ferocity of Warcraft and the simple wisdom of human beings. This undead can kill a squad of 50 light infantry alone, or resist the charge of more than 10 knights. It is extremely powerful. On the battlefield, one punch can knock away a war horse, and even a boulder weighing a person can be easily lifted and thrown far away."
Farasi also had a solemn look on her face. She looked at Reid and said, "You doubt the demon that Jessie described..."
Reid said: "Yes, that demon is what I just said. The terrible murder weapon of the Undead Army back then. Those piles of bones are obviously skeleton warriors."
After listening to Red's words, Alando's eyes glowed hotly. Ryan knew that their druids traveled mostly to find traces of the undead. Now that there was relevant news, of course he was excited.
Ryan patted Allendo on the shoulder and told him to calm down.
Reid's eyes swept across the people in the room, and he said softly: "Our opponents will most likely be the fish that slipped through the net that were not completely eliminated 200 years ago. This mission has become very dangerous. I hope everyone will now Just think clearly, if you don’t want to, you can leave immediately and no one will laugh at you.”
Faras said: "It's okay to leave. We take risks to train ourselves, not to risk our lives. But please think about it. If you choose to stay, you will not be able to retreat, especially when facing the enemy."
There was silence in the room, only the faint breathing of everyone could be heard.
