The Attack of the Ghouls Chapter 848

Not long after, Yeyue Bian fixed all the dozen or so maids in place. Then she turned around and pushed open the door, and walked towards the main hall, but the moment he stepped into the main hall, he suddenly stopped again.

"Don't worry, since I said I'm just discussing something with your city lord, I won't threaten its life."

Saying that, Yeyue pushed open the gate of the palace again and stepped in, while the dozen or so maids behind him could only stare at his back angrily, motionless.

Soon, Yeyue came to the inner hall, and the facilities in the shop were still the same as he was familiar with, but at this time his second role was different, and his attitude was also different.

Thinking that she didn't stay for a long time, Yeyue went straight to the city lord's room.

Just as Yeyue pushed open the door of the castellan's room, she saw the castellan sitting in the center of the room making tea. He wasn't surprised when he saw Yeyue breaking in, but on the contrary, he seemed to be sitting here waiting for her for a long time.

"Why are you doing this?"

Yeyue was still standing at the door, and did not step into the door of the city lord's room to question.

Listening to Yeyue's questioning, City Lord Jiang stood up gently after completing the last procedure of making tea.

"You know I didn't choose. I have to do this in order to fulfill my grandfather's wish to protect this city. Even though I am desperate and uncomfortable, I have to force myself to bear all this."

"For your so-called loyalty and filial piety, you have to sacrifice other people's lives. Don't you think you are very selfish?"

As soon as Yeyue's voice fell, the city lord walked up to Yeyue with a cup of tea. Originally, he thought that he wanted to taste his craftsmanship, but unexpectedly, the next second, the city lord knelt down in front of him with it.

"I know what I did was a little too much, and I also know that you won't forgive me so easily, but now I have a request."

As the city lord spoke, he raised the tea in his hand high and held it in front of Yeyue, but Yeyue just watched his movements today and didn't reach out to take the cup of tea.

The air became still like this, and the movements of the two people were maintained like this. Gradually, after an unknown amount of time, the city lord slowly spoke.

"I can promise you that I won't hurt your friends anymore, and I won't do anything excessive, but I can't give up this city. This city is my grandfather's wish, and it is also my wish. Now I sincerely ask you to help me."

Hearing the voice of the city lord praying, Yeyue also began to soften her heart.

"What's the matter with you getting up first, let's talk about it and don't kneel in front of me, I can't bear your big gift,"

"No, this is a necessary procedure for asking others. Although I am not very upright, these etiquettes are still indispensable." Hearing Chengzhu's words, Yeyue shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand to take it, and held it up. The cup of tea on top of the head. Then he brought it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it lightly, and the mellow tea fragrance soon spread to his pen. Then it slowly spread throughout his body through the blood, and it really was good tea.

Then Yeyue looked down again, at the city lord who was kneeling on the ground unwilling to get up, put the tea to his mouth, and took a sip.

Then he put the teacup into the hands of the city lord again.

"Now you can get up and talk?"

The city lord took the teacup Yeyue handed over and didn't get up, but continued to plead: "Please help me protect the city. I am willing to give everything for this."

Yeyue saw this piece of magnetism and knew that if she refused to agree, the two of them could only continue in a stalemate, so she had no choice but to let go.

"Okay, I promise you, it's fine, you get up quickly and we have to discuss how to protect this city."

Hearing Yeyue's words, the city lord raised his head happily, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, but soon he stood up and made a gesture to Yeyue, signaling Yeyue to go to the table and sit down. While drinking tea, discuss countermeasures.

This time, Yeyue did not refuse again, but walked to the table with the city lord, and the two began to discuss countermeasures. At this time, the city lord filled Yeyue with tea again.

The night is still long.

Chapter 314: Discussion

"Please drink some water to moisturize your throat. We have a long time to discuss how to protect this city. As long as you agree, I believe there is nothing we can't do."

Speaking of which, the city lord handed over another cup of tea, took it without hesitation, took the tea from apprentice Cheng, and gently sipped it.

"You sent so many maids to block me outside the hall, just to prevent me from coming in, but when I approached your door, you were not surprised, but made tea here, as if you have been here since the beginning As if you knew I would come in." Yeyue said as she put down the cup in her hand and looked at the city lord.

"That's right, I'm afraid they will block you, but I also know that with your skill, they are no match for you at all. It's just a matter of time before you break in. It's just that I didn't expect you to find me so quickly .”

"So when I pushed the door open, you were actually a little surprised, but I didn't notice it, right?"

"I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You were so powerful for only a few minutes. Then I avoided my maid, found my room, and broke in."

Listening to what the city lord said, Yeyue did not refuse. Just nodded slightly.

"Just now you asked me to help you protect this city, can you tell me about the situation of this city now? Just tell me about the latest situation, and I will analyze it."

Hearing Yeyue's words, the city lord sighed inaudibly, and then drank the tea in his hand.

"Actually, my honesty has fallen into an extremely critical situation. His outer protective cover has been slowly being swallowed up. As the gap being swallowed gets bigger and bigger, the effectiveness of this protective cover is also slowly disappearing. But we dare not evacuate him easily."

Yeyue nodded lightly when she heard the city lord's words, she already knew the general situation now. In other words, the entire city is now completely protected by a very dangerous protective cover. Once the function of this protective cover completely disappears, the city will collapse.

"Since the protective cover of the city is slowly failing and its functions are getting smaller and smaller, why not just remove this layer of protective cover and start a new protective cover?"

After hearing Yeyue's words, the city lord shook his head slightly, and then filled the tea cups in front of the two of them again.

"It's not that we haven't thought about this method, but it doesn't work at all, because there are a lot of wild beasts outside the city staring at the people in the city. Once the protective cover of the city is fully equipped, even if it is only a few seconds Within a few minutes, wild beasts from outside will rush in and threaten the lives of the people in the city.”

Yeyue picked up the tea that the city lord put in front of her, and began to sip it lightly, then sat quietly in front of Cheng Zhu, listening to him continue to talk.

"What makes us dare not act lightly is that most people in this city have no ability to protect themselves, and once we remove this protective cover, they will cooperate with us to restore it. At this time, they will be even more dangerous. Then It is also said to be fatal to them."

Yeyue nodded after listening to the city lord's words. Now he fully understands that although the function of the protective cover is slowly disappearing, the protective cover cannot be removed. That is to say, the residents who want to protect the city must restore its function on the basis of this protection.

"So you thought of repairing the protective cover, right?"

The city lord gently put down the teacup in his hand, then turned his gaze to Yeyue and nodded slowly.

"That's right, so I thought of repairing this protective cover with a sacrifice method, so that's why I arrested your friend, because we need a woman with powerful magic power."

"But you clearly know that this method will not work. It is very selfish to sacrifice other people's lives in order to protect this city."

"I also know that this behavior is very selfish, but as long as the protective cover can be repaired, we can protect the residents of this city and exchange the lives of tens of thousands of people with one life. I think it is worth it of."

"Human life is not a commodity, and it cannot be measured at an equivalent value. How do you know that the life of one person is not worth the lives of tens of thousands of people? Maybe the value of this person's life is greater than the value of the lives of people all over the world!"

Listening to Yeyue's words, the city lord did not refute, and he also knew that his idea was too selfish, which is why he would pray for Yeyue to help him at this time, instead of using his friend again to repair it by offering sacrifices. protective cover.

"So now I give up this decision, so I also desperately need your help to help me protect this city. As long as you can help me, I can give up everything about myself."

"Of course I know this, but now I don't know what ability I have other than the method you just mentioned, to write about how you protect the city and protect the lives of the residents in the city from being harmed."

The city lord closed the lid of the teapot and began to shake his head gently. He didn't know any other way to repair the protective cover without offering sacrifices.

"Is there no other way to pass it down? After all, this protective cover cannot be so strong from the beginning when it was put on. It must have been repaired."

"It has been repaired, but..."

Before the city lord finished speaking, he stopped, and Yeyue looked at him to see his hesitant expression. In fact, the city lord didn't say anything, but he already knew. But what is the one in the back? It must be that they have always repaired the protective cover in the way of offering sacrifices. It is worthwhile to protect tens of thousands of people with one person's life.

But now their appearance makes them have to break this tradition and find a way to repair the protective cover again.
