Chapter 2097 Ruins

Recalling the experience in "Silver Sky Free Trade Port" three years ago, Joan continued: "Jessica once told me that she and her companions in the spiritual class grew up in Akron , At that time, there was an elder sister who took care of them, but now that I think about it, it is Ms. Maria, right?"

Maria nodded, perhaps recalling the difficult years before, with a little sadness in her eyes.

"I have to say that the fate of people is elusive. The world is very big. There are people who pass by countless times but don't know each other. The world is small. Two people who seem to have no intersection have mutual friends."

"When Holden and I met Joan, and when Joan first met Jessica, who would have expected that our fate would be intertwined in such a wonderful way." Audrey said with emotion.

After hearing her words, Qiao An felt the same way.

Ms. Maria is even more serious, holding the holy emblem in her hand, piously praising the idol she worships at the dining table—one of the twin goddesses in charge of the fate of all people—"Queen of Karma" Demos, as if all these coincidences It is the arrangement of fate.

There are three main reasons for Goluofa and others to come to the New World from a long distance.

One of them is Ms. Maria's private matter, which is closely related to the "Demos Church" she belongs to, and it is inconvenient to discuss it publicly at the dinner table.

There are two other things that don’t need to be kept secret. The first is to investigate the operating conditions of the Royal Magic Crystal Mining Company located in the "Prime Ancient Abyss", and the other is to gain an in-depth understanding of the uproarious incident uploaded on the "Cloud Network" recently-colonization Bloody clashes between protesters and Aboriginal people in the Vimur Valley region.

Joan was quite familiar with the magic crystal mining area, so he explained the business situation he knew to the visitors in detail.

For some reason, when he said that the mining area was operating well and the output of magic crystals was rising steadily, Antron and Eurome's faces looked very heavy, as if they were disappointed by the news.

After chatting about the situation in the mining area for a while, the topic shifted to the ethnic conflicts caused by the "Westward Movement".

Holden proudly declared that the article revealing the secrets of the "Wymur Valley Tragedy" that was first published by Yunwang and later reprinted by mainstream media in various countries was written by him.

"Mr. Holden, the details you wrote in that article, such as the fact that the military in the Midgard colony hired experts to develop a new type of smallpox virus, spread it into the aboriginal community through blankets as a medium, and intentionally caused the epidemic to spread, are all true. Is it?"

Eurome seemed unable to believe that there were such vicious acts in the world.

"Ms. Ou Luomei, I dare to guarantee my reputation, every word is completely true!"

Mr. Poet, who usually always has a playful smile on his face, looks extraordinarily solemn at this moment.

Eurome nodded thoughtfully, and discussed with Antron, Gloria, and Maria in a low voice, and finally Gloria made a request on behalf of the three.

"Can you take us to the Vimur Valley for a field trip, especially the area around the valley town?"

"Hegu Town has been burned into ruins, and there is nothing left to see. The nearby area is not only the area with the worst smallpox epidemic, but also the area where immigrants and aborigines have the most intense hatred for each other. There are countless bloody incidents every day. Is it necessary for you to take the risk yourself?" Audrey asked her brother worriedly.

"Of course it is necessary." Grofa smiled calmly, "As for the risks, you don't have to worry, at least we still have the ability to protect ourselves."

Audrey said helplessly: "Since you insist on going, let's set a time."

"The sooner the better, how about tomorrow?" Colofa asked his sister.

Audrey turned to look at Joan: "Are you free tomorrow?"

Joan heard her intention, nodded and said: "When I'm free, I can cast a spell to take everyone directly to Hegu Town."

5th level "Teleportation", every 3 casting levels can bring one more person. Joan's spellcasting level is 22, and besides himself, he can bring up to 7 people to teleport with him. Zion's brother, brother and sister-in-law, plus Antron, Eurome and Hailar, exactly 7 people.

Audrey smiled relievedly, and thanked him on behalf of his sister-in-law, and the itinerary was settled like this.

...

July 11, nine o'clock in the morning.

Near Hegu Town, which was burned into ruins by the fire, a beam of teleportation light rose, and eight figures emerged.

"Everyone, please see that the scorched earth on the river bank is the ruins of Hegu Town. There were originally 2,000 Asa residents in the town. It was attacked by the cavalry battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel Henry James two months ago, and the whole town was burned. "

"The residents of the town, men, women, and children, were either burned alive or massacred by the army, including the wife of the town leader Logan Volsunger, and none of them survived."

Speaking of the murder that happened here two months ago, Qiao An couldn't help but burst into anger, and the strange eyes behind his neck opened uncontrollably, pulsating.

He took a deep breath, restrained his indignation, and pulled up his collar with his backhand to cover the deformed eyeball.

Colofer, Maria, Antron, and Eurome, four visitors from the old world, stood in front of the ruins, looking at the scorched earth and ruined walls, it is not difficult to imagine the tragic scene when the bleeding happened, Can't help being deeply shocked, speechless for a long time.

"His Royal Highness, have similar massacres occurred in the Old World in recent years?" Joan asked.

The Canaan prince was silent for a few seconds before slowly answering: "Of course there were similar bloody massacres, but the situation in the Old World is different from that in the New World. Don’t dare to blatantly engage in this kind of 'genocide' massacre in your own territory, otherwise the nobles and the church will rise up against him and deprive him of his authority."

"It may not be polite for me to say this, Dr. Vader, what some colonists have done in the New World, including the massacre of the aborigines, and the widespread slavery system, have broken through the lower limit of 'civilized people'. "

"Similar situations are not uncommon in the Old World, but they are not so common, and the social consensus is critical of such practices as barbaric practices, but in the New World, people seem to have become accustomed to such things, at least for now. There is no sign of abolishing the abuses."

Joan nodded heavily, fully agreeing with Golofa's criticism of the barbaric atmosphere in the colony.

At this time, Maria came over and asked Joan whether the hospital that was originally used to isolate smallpox patients in Hegu Town was still there, and whether the patients were still alive.

"The hospital was originally located in the open forest opposite. On the night of the tragedy, the smallpox patients noticed that the town was on fire and heard the sound of killing. Some of them with mild symptoms rushed back to fight the fire regardless of the disease..." Qiao An wanted Stop talking.
