Chapter 316 The Road Ahead

In fact, Hao Ren originally wanted to go home directly - the "Sacred Artifact of Origin" brought back from another space really made him itchy, and the few words Beshemos revealed made people full of curiosity. He couldn't wait to see it. He went home to study what it was, but Hesiana kindly invited everyone to stay for another half day for a meal before leaving, so he reluctantly stayed.

Well, in fact, Vivian was the only one who received the warm invitation. Hesiana really had to reluctantly let Hao Ren and the others stay here together...

The city was dilapidated, in need of reconstruction, and there were still a lot of injured people to deal with. Therefore, this half-day was not a post-war celebration at all, but rather like a gloomy lesson summary meeting. Hesiana and Jean each completed their preparations. After dealing with the affairs of his own family and making some arrangements for the city's emergency repairs and enhanced defense work, he had time to calm down and think about the future. Now there are only two of the three major families in the city, and the remaining small forces basically have little say in this situation, so Hesiana and Jean Lucas are the only remaining leaders of the forces in this sanctuary. . They personally ran around the city and invited all the ancients who played a decisive role in the city's defense. With Vivian's reputation, everyone came this time.

The only ancient person who was not present was the guardian ancient tree Gangrudar. After all, due to its size and mobility, it seemed unrealistic to invite it here. However, it sent a clone to convey its thoughts here to observe the meeting. This clone was Placed in front of Hesiana was a pot of leeks.

Hao Ren must always pay attention to Doudou who is jumping around in front of him to prevent the little guy from jumping over and nibbling away the leeks... Although the little guy doesn't eat green vegetables, she especially likes to nibble on some strange things recently. molar!

In this way, the most powerful and famous group of people in the city gathered in the long hall of the main house of the Hesiana family, and they were divided into two groups regarding the future of the sanctuary.

Some people feel that the shelter is no longer safe and want to give up here and run away or go to other shelters to seek help. Others feel that the situation is not that bad and they want to restore order here.

Those who give up are very realistic, but those who stay behind also have their own reasons, especially in this current situation where everywhere is unsafe. In fact, there is no difference between inside and outside the shelter. The main reason why the shelter was breached this time was the failure of the shadow medium. As long as the shadow medium is rebuilt, the witchers still can't do anything about this place - this shelter has been in front of the witchers for thousands of years. Well, they all know that there is a large group of aliens gathered here, just like they know the situation of several other shelters in the world, so the exposure of the shelter's location is not a big problem, the only problem is defense.

As long as the defense can be rebuilt, the situation can be restored to the previous situation.

The main builder of the Shadow Mediator is the Shadow Demon, but vampires and some other dark creatures also have this technology. In addition, the foundation of the Shadow Mediator has not been damaged, so it is not difficult to rebuild the defense. In fact, the Shadow Intermediary has been restarted now, but everyone is worried about what hidden dangers the Shadow Demon has left in the defense system, so they need to sort out this set of things again - of course, this is the premise of not giving up this shelter. Down.

Hao Ren knew that he was an outsider here, but after hearing these discussions about the fate of the city, he still couldn't help but want to intervene. He looked at Hesiana beside him: "What do you think?"

"Me? I think this shelter will probably remain," Hesiana didn't seem to think it was a big deal. "In fact, this place has been invaded by demon hunters several times before - the most recent one was when Europe burned witches with great fanfare. At that time, a large group of demon hunters came here. The scene was more lively than today, but we still managed to hold on. Then we had a meeting and everything went as usual. A few people left, and more people stayed. The demons were also afraid of various reasons and did not continue to attack. It was probably the same this time. After all, after several wars in the mythical era, and continuous wars in the following thousands of years, the losses of demon hunters and aliens were actually not small. Now they have It’s hard to destroy a city at every turn like before.”

After Hesiana finished speaking, she let out a long sigh: "And nowhere is safe. This kind of discussion has no result at all. It is just choosing a less bad option among a bunch of bad options. Most of the demon hunters are not They will come in again, and they have to consider their own losses, and the possibility that we will be buried together with the two Athenses after we are forced into a hurry, so... ha, don't think so much."

It turns out that Hesiana was right.

The result of the discussion was that the sanctuary would continue to exist and, after repairs, continue to maintain a delicate confrontation with the witchers. Today's crisis is not the first time, and the residents of the city are used to it. A small number of them will probably leave soon, but more people will stay and continue to run the place. The meeting of the Ancients also represented the future development path of the Sanctuary. Neither Hesiana nor Gene Lucas raised any objections on this issue.

After the meeting, everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat, and Hesiana came over sneakily. She tugged on Vivian's sleeve: "Sir Vivian, Sir Vivian, let's discuss something with you..."

Vivian shook her head subconsciously: "No."

Hesiana: "I haven't said anything yet..."

"Oh, I'm used to it. I'll object first," Vivian scratched her cheek, "Then you say it."

Hesiana said with a shy face: "Ms. Vivian, can I move to your place?"

Before Vivian could say anything, Hao Ren's ears suddenly stood up, but it was Lily who was the first to yell: "No, no, no! There is already a vampire at home! Why do you want to move in?!"

Hesiana looked at Lily sideways: "Do you want to take care of it? Look at how chaotic this city is now, and it's obviously not safe to live in temporarily. I heard that Lady Vivian's place is a pretty safe shelter. Let me Let's go and have lunch for two days..."

Hesperius happened to be passing by, and when he heard this, he looked at Hesiana with a strange expression: "You are just a wallflower, which way is it safe to fall? Don't forget that there are only two people left in this city now. You and Jean are the two leaders, and we old guys don't care."

Hesiana puffed up her chest proudly: "How can I be a wallflower! I am simply a tumbleweed. Not to mention the wind, even if there is no wind, I can kneel down and run towards Lady Vivian. Vivian Master Wei An, you think so, right? Hehehe..."

As she spoke, she rubbed herself hard into Vivian's arms, who suddenly had goosebumps all over her body: "Let's go, let's go... How many times have I told you to be more reserved!"

Then Vivian looked at Hesiana seriously: "It's really not possible this time, because everyone here needs you, and you can't leave at this critical moment. But after you finish arranging things here, you can come and play with me. sky……"

Hesiana couldn't believe it when she heard this: "Really?"

Vivian glanced at Hao Ren, and after receiving a positive reply, she turned around with a smile: "We are always willing to take in strays, and of course you are not the least of them. In fact, I had no choice but to ignore you before. I really can’t support you at that time..."

The moved look on Hesiana's face was just halfway revealed when Vivian followed up with the second half of her sentence: "Of course, the more important thing is that you are too annoying."

Hao Ren coughed twice, attracting Hesiana's attention: "Besides, if you stay here, you can also help us a little - well, you can help Vivian, right?"

This trick worked extremely well for Hesiana, who immediately nodded her head as if the vibration mode was on.

"Pry something out of Beshemos' mouth," Hao Ren lowered his voice, "We don't have torture conditions here, and I don't have this experience, but you should. No matter what he said, you tell me... …Okay, tell Vivian’s head office, right?”

Hesana looked at Vivian and nodded in agreement.

"The other thing is about the Holy Artifact of Origin." Hao Ren glanced at Gene Lucas in the distance calmly. "Bessemos might tell you. There may also be something about the Holy Artifact of Origin in Shadow Demon Castle." The record of the device, so Jean must have known sooner or later that this thing was taken away by us, but to be honest... it is really useful for me to take this, and it is very dangerous. I really can't let you study it casually, just for my sake... ...Okay, for Vivian’s sake, suppress this matter.”

Hesiana also agreed, and Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it's so tiring to talk to you. I have to bring Vivian with me every time... It's not like you don't know that if you help me, you are helping Vivian." Well."

Hesiana puffed up her face and glanced quickly between Hao Ren and Vivian. Then she grinned and made a face at Hao Ren and suddenly said: "I won't call you dad anyway!"

Hao Ren: "What?"

Hesiana had already run away like the wind at this time, leaving Hao Ren and Vivian awkwardly staring at each other in a daze. In the end, they both said in unison: "That naughty kid is talking nonsense, ignore her!"

This time, even Hesperius's expression became strange: "Your tacit understanding is too high..."

Hao Ren coughed twice in embarrassment. When he saw Hesperus, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is also your matter - do you want to cure your mental problem?"
