Chapter 801 My Heart Is Tightening
"How could this happen?" I frowned and asked in confusion: "Where is the city lord? Where is the eldest young master? Where is the second young master? Don't they care about this?"
Master Hall's tone was extremely bitter, and he said: "This is the latest order they issued. Save the good and discard the bad. Those who have the ability can live happily in Airui City. Those without the ability will not be guaranteed, nor will the safety of their families be guaranteed." .”
"Damn it!" I was shocked. What kind of bullshit rule was this? "Aren't those people who are not adventurers all screwed?"
"No," Master Hall said, "Non-adventurer occupations are not included in the regulations. This regulation is specifically aimed at adventurers."
"Huh?" I frowned and said with a faint smile: "It seems that this order is not so bastard, but what does this have to do with you elders? Why do you have to send me back by force?"
"Let me ask you, what does Teacher Zhang do?" Master Hall said.
"Elder? He manages the adventurer base."
"Then let me ask you again, what does the adventurer base do?"
"The Adventurer Base serves adventurers, right?" I was a little unsure.
"Not comprehensive," Master Hall said: "Actually, the Adventurer Base is an institution used to serve, restrict and govern adventurers."
"That's right" I nodded.
"Since adventurers are under the jurisdiction of the adventurer base, then when an incident such as unrest occurs among the adventurers, the adventurer base should also be fully responsible. However," he paused and said, "When this unrest affects the adventurers, When the base is unable to do anything, the adventurer base loses the meaning of its existence."
"Are you saying that the top management of your Adventurer Base needs to be responsible for the unrest caused by the new regulations?" I said with a look of shock on my face: "This is too ridiculous! This is obviously the fault of the city lord and his group! How can I let you carry it?"
Master Hall laughed dryly. I guess his expression must be very helpless now: "This is their purpose, to use the turbulent situation to highlight the incompetence of the Adventurer Base, so as to use it as an excuse to expel those of us in power and empty the Adventurer Base." , ultimately turning it into a puppet organization controlled by the city lord."
"It feels a bit bad," I muttered as my eyes twitched.
"It's not a little bad, but very bad, very bad." Master Hall said: "The adventurer base was established to contain the dictatorship of the city lord's family. Now that the restraining effect of the adventurer base in Airui City has been abolished, if we continue to act wantonly, If we continue to act recklessly, it won’t be long before Airui City will become the second town abandoned by the God of Creation.”
"Which one is the first one?" I blurted out.
"York Han City" Master Hall said: "That place has become a town abandoned by the God of Creation many years ago."
"What will happen to the abandoned towns?" I asked, "Are they directly destroyed?"
"Destruction will not mean" Master Hall said: "It will just reduce the level in all aspects, such as life, technology, and even fertility."
"Shall I go? Will fertility be affected?" I suddenly had a bad taste and said with a smile: "Is it possible that all the young and old in the city are infertile?"
"You are too naive, child," Master Hall said: "The fertility of the people of York and Hancheng is not affected, but the survival rate of the children they give birth to is very low, not even one-fifth of the fertility rate of Airui City."
"Ah!" I couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's not easy for York City to maintain its operation for so many years with such a low viability. I guess it should be easy to find a job in their town, right?"
"It's not easy either," Master Hall said: "The survival rate of newborns in York and Seoul is low, but it can't be said that they are very capable of giving birth. A family has ten children, and six of them will die in infancy, and four will be left. As long as these are left If the children here can thrive, there will be no problems in the operation of York City."
"Hey, awesome!" I couldn't help giving a thumbs up and praised, and then asked: "People say that if you want to be rich, you have to have fewer children and more trees. Isn't it true that everyone in York and Seoul is poor? Bar?"
"Poor?" Master Hall paused and said, "It is indeed quite poor. Taking Airui City as an example, Hancheng is only among common people and poor people."
"That's really a bit miserable." I sighed and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Think about it, this adventurer base in Airui City is not just the capital, but also other towns."
"The adventurer base elders in other towns follow the actions of the elders in the capital town. Once we are sent back, they will also leave with us." Master Hall's tone was very low. He sighed and said: "Operation After so many years, I suddenly lost everything, hey."
"Don't say that, Master Hall," I said hehely: "Don't forget that Airey City is just a place where you work, and Fort Vicky is your home!"
"You mean Fort Vicky?" Master Hall sneered and said, "This is being sent back, not returning home in fine clothes. That old guy David might make fun of me!"
"David?" The name sounded familiar.
"Oh, he is our king," Master Hall explained.
No wonder this name is familiar. The last time I heard this name, it was Dewey who said it himself.
"Don't worry about this. Last time I heard the Goblin King and Dewey chatting, the Goblin King also expressed emotion, saying that he misses you as an old friend very much, and he doesn't know if there will be a chance to meet again in this life. It just so happens that you have been sent away. Going back can be regarded as fulfilling one of the Goblin King's wishes."
"Is this really what this old boy said?" Master Hall asked dubiously.
"Look at what you said, can I still lie to you?" I sighed deliberately, pretending to be helpless and said: "I am a real failure, even Master Hall, who has always respected me, doesn't trust my words, hey. "
"Don't say that, kid," Master Hall apologized hastily: "I only said these rude words because I was too sentimental. It's not that I don't believe you. You are a good boy, how could you lie to me! "
Hearing what Master Hall said, I pretended to sigh and said: "Master Hall, you don't know something. During your absence... Oh, I mean the last time I went to Fort Vicky, I was with the Goblin King. When I and Master Dewey were having dinner together, I kept listening to them talking about you, especially the Goblin King. When they talked about you, although I didn’t shed tears, the expression on my face, hiss, it made people feel sad, as if It’s like a child losing his best friend. It makes my heart ache, but you don’t know, I didn’t even eat well in those few days!”
