Chapter 2594 Causes and Consequences

Things have to start a long time ago.

Zach and Florence are naturally happy children with perfect families, but their elders are not like that. To be precise, their ancestors, that is, their grandparents, were both in an orphanage in a certain town in Airy City. grow up.

They were childhood sweethearts, they trusted each other, they liked each other, and they got married. However, it was regrettable that although their children had a close relationship with each other, they had no intention of getting married, and there was always a sense of incompatibility.

Later, they started families with each other and gradually lost contact.

Some people say that fate is wonderful beyond words.

exactly.

Zach and Florence, who had never even met before, unexpectedly met in the fearless guild founded by Cagalli in Dasha City after completing the arduous and thorny path of adventurers, and they naturally became friends. A love developed for each other.

I basically knew everything that happened after that, but there was a family matter that Zach and Florence shared, which they never told me, or even rarely told to anyone. Well, Jackson was an accident, so The next time was Zach's last night of bachelor party. Zach was drunk by Jackson and Billy. He inadvertently revealed the secret of the family, and they didn't know about it until then.

The secret was—before Zach’s grandparents and Florence’s grandparents died, they called their parents and the younger ones to them respectively and told them about their pasts. As well as the inseparable bond with the orphanage, he also warned his children and grandchildren that if there is a problem in the orphanage one day, I hope they will help them if they are able. No matter how much or how little the assistance is, as long as they help, it will be regarded as raising them. The best repayment for your kindness.

This sounds like repaying a favor, but its essence is nothing more than the four old men's begging for their descendants.

Fortunately, both Zach's family and Florence's family are filial and repay their kindness. They immediately agreed to the older generation's request, in exchange for the older generation smiling and closing their eyes.

For many years after that, the orphanage remained safe and sound. Even the genocide incident in Achilles did not affect the tranquility of the orphanage in the village.

I originally thought that all this would continue to be as ordinary as plain water. However, what is unexpected is that half a year later, as an incident happened, the whole town fell into panic.

It was not long after the disaster occurred, when the town's population suddenly increased, and the number of lonely old people and orphans also increased linearly. The town, which was originally peaceful, suddenly became popular among adventurers.

It may be related to the huge amount of money Zach and Florence send home every month, or it may be that young people are full of curiosity and longing for adventure. In short, more than 80% of young people and teenagers under the age of thirty, Armed with crudely made weapons, he would go out of the city and into the forest every day, killing small animals in the forest, and beating up some scattered monsters that were not very strong, and even called it: spawning monsters to upgrade.

However, their town doesn't even have an entrance to the dungeon, let alone an adventurer's guild. It's nonsense to talk about killing monsters and upgrading!

But this group of people are enjoying themselves happily and are out of control.

If it was just like this, it would be fine, but they kept pushing further and explored the forest deeper and deeper. Finally one day.

One day about half a year ago, they unfortunately encountered some powerful and terrifying existence.

Obviously in the face of absolute strength, no matter how many people there are, what effect can they have?

At most, they will be killed in one attack, or in two attacks, or maybe a few fish will escape and be caught.

Well, I have to admit that in terms of escape ability alone, some of these people are quite talented in becoming adventurers.

After fleeing in embarrassment, two teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen actually managed to escape from the forest.

As if they were dead, they ran back to the town and reported the situation to the mayor and others. However, the problem was that after hearing their descriptions and seeing their miserable state of injuries, the mayor actually ordered everyone to Doors were closed tightly, and lights were turned off in every house to avoid the monster's revenge.

At this critical moment when disaster was most likely imminent, the mayor showed the perfect wisdom that a mortal should have, but not everyone was as sensible as him.

The vast majority of parents who have lost their children are like crazy, banging on the town gate, trying to rush out, rush into the woods, save their children, or find them back.

But many people understand that this matter is nothing short of a fantasy.

In the next few days, many people did go into the forest, trying to find their children or find traces.

However, they either found nothing or, like their children, disappeared in this forest.

In just a few days, the entire town was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.

In the following days, someone tried to beg the parents of Florence and Zach, hoping that they could help write a distress letter to their children, asking them to come back and help investigate the whereabouts of the missing persons.

Although the two parents agreed to the request to write a letter after careful consideration, it still depends on the child's own wishes when it comes to calling the child back.

Obviously, Florence and Zach's parents didn't want their children to get involved in this matter.

Florence and Zach read this between the lines of the letter sent by their parents, so they kept calm and refused to go back no matter what.

The two people's lack of cooperation will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of many people in the town. Some people may even say that they are unfilial, or they may openly and implicitly ridicule their parents for their incompetence in raising children and their lack of education.

However, the parents of the two families did not mention a word related to it in the letter.

But this matter will not end so simply.

As Florence and Zach became "powerless", the townspeople began to go to other towns to cause trouble and protest, and some even went to the city lord to protest.

Fortunately, the city lord understood the righteousness well. After learning about the situation, he released these unreasonable guys as soon as possible. After a series of discussions, a team of smart and capable adventurers was formed to attack the city that the townspeople said. A carpet search was carried out in the forest.

It would have been fine if we didn't search, but something would have happened if we did.

This group of adventurers around level 10, who enjoyed a high reputation in the local area, were beaten by beings in the forest and lost their armor. They returned in disastrous defeat.

This frightened the city lord. While issuing a reward, he sent a request for help report to the capital through the communication crystal.

However, at that time, Carter Horton was worrying about the construction of Airey City and had no time to take care of it. Therefore, the matter was delayed again and again, and it seemed that it would be delayed indefinitely.
