Hesperius never imagined that he would one day be intimidated by a simple word.The hunt will end.There are only six simple words, six words that are meaningless to ordinary people, but they are enough to make Hesperius, an ancient god who has survived from the age of mythology, feel that the world is spinning for a while, and she can't even understand the deep meaning of these words for a while, so she looked at Hao Ren fixedly for a while, and then asked the other party to repeat it before she trembled and spoke: "Is the witcher......
Are they all gone?
”"No," Hao Ren hesitated, and didn't directly tell the other party about the Demon Hunter's current vitality, "There's something wrong with them internally, but it's over."
It's just that from now on, the hunting war will end, and they ......
Well, as long as you can maintain your balance, the witchers will no longer actively hunt the aliens. ”Hesperith sensitively heard the deep meaning behind the words "maintain balance" and "active hunting", but she didn't say much, just frowned and looked at Vivien with some curiosity: "You really went to the witcher's lair?"
And ......
Came back unscathed?
What the hell are you doing there?
”"Would you believe me if I said I was going to help?"
Vivien looked at her old friend with a smirk.Hesperith's face changed, and it was clear that in her worldview, it was a bit strange for a group of aliens to run to the witcher's house to help.Although Hao Ren had mentioned to her that his gang was an "absolutely neutral force", Hesperis still subconsciously regarded these people as part of the outlier camp."
You're going to help the witchers?"
The "Goddess of Twilight" raised her eyebrows a little, "Vivien, Countess, are you sleeping in a daze again?"
”"The witchers are an important part of the balance," Vivien said deliberately in a way that was befitting of her status as an Archaic and would make Hesperis aware of the intricate truth behind the whole affair, "and we're here to help them so that everyone in the sanctuary can be safe—the witchers have great ancient power in their hands, and they will be in even greater danger if they are finished."
Let's not talk about this, we're going to go to the shelter to see what is going on, it's said that the most noisy guys are here in Athens?
”Hesperius shook his head helplessly: "Yes, who made this one of the biggest shelters, and it is also the one that is more convenient for transportation with the outside world, and the younger family forces are here."
But don't worry, the Heatherenne family, who are usually the most upset in the world, is the most stable this time, and your cheap girl has a high prestige among the younger generation, and she can even hold the scene better than us old guys.Tsk, young people nowadays, they don't know ...... respect" Before Hesperius finished speaking, Vivien slapped the table: "How many times do you want me to say!"
That bastard girl isn't my girl!
She's just a little bat I fell out of......"
Hesperith looked at Vivien with a blank face and slapped on the table: "Six hundred thousand - euros."
You just smashed Octavian's forehead. ”Vivien raised her eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, I photographed Octavian when he was alive!"
It's all a fox on the mountain, what are you talking to me about?
”The bickering between the two ancients was about that.With a troubled expression, Hesperius opened the path to the shelter, and soon the group was near the "City Hall" of the shelter.This city in the shadows has still not been rebuilt, and some traces of the last war can still be seen, but in addition to these traces, Hao Ren's biggest feeling is that the atmosphere in the city is completely different from the last time he came.An oppressive, gloomy atmosphere hangs over the city streets, and the smell of impending wind and rain pervades everywhere.Although the City of Shadows originally had a kind of oppressive atmosphere, it was mostly due to the city's location in the shadow layer and the delicate relationship between the various ethnic groups in the city, and the oppressive atmosphere was never obvious to the point of making people uncomfortable, but now the streets and alleys here are obviously different from usual.Hao Ren barely saw many people walking outside, and even if there were a few figures on the street, most of them were in a hurry, and the people who walked outside were wearing clothes with obvious family logos - which meant that they were not out to hang out, but people sent out by some large family to carry out activities."
The Shadow Quarter to the West and the little ones of the Scorching Heights are making a fuss," Hesperius said, explaining the current situation in the city, "they are all new families that have been active in the last few hundred years, and they are unaware of the height of the sky, and they are easily whimsical, and the tradition of authority has little deterrent effect on them.This is especially true after we sent out several groups of investigators: the investigators discovered the uninhabited strongholds left behind by the Witchers and managed to destroy them, and so far there has been no retaliation from the Witchers, and the destroyed strongholds have naturally dissipated into the turbulence of time and space, leading many to believe that the Witchers will never return. ”"Emerging small family......"
Hao Ren was a little curious about the inheritance of the alien, "How did this kind of small family appear?"
Based on the current survival situation of your aliens, most of them should be survivors of the ancient family inheritance, how can so many small families be born?
”Hesperius' voice was a little lazy, but he patiently explained: "Division, exile, deviant, all sorts of reasons.The Hethanna family is made up of exiles, and there are new types of families that have split from the larger families, or the remnants of several large families have been reorganized.Although we are hiding in shelters, it does not mean that our social structure is solidified - most of the outliers live for a long time, hundreds or thousands of years, enough for us to create many new groups. ”Nangong May muttered casually: "It sounds like these little families should be very weak." ”"Not necessarily," it wasn't Hesperius who spoke this time, but Vivien, "not all families get stronger the older they get, you see Hethana—sometimes the bigger the brain, the stronger."
And a lot of things in the alien were broken during the Ragnarok period, the historical background or something......
In fact, the impact is not big.Of course, in general, the old families are stronger, but the difference between the young and old forces is not as big as you think. ”Just as Vivien said this, a commotion suddenly came from the front.Hao Ren followed the prestige, and saw a red light suddenly lit up in the direction of the city council hall, this red light carried a huge ferocious energy, just looking at it, you could feel a burning breath from the bottom of your heart, and where the red light rose, a large number of people gathered, bursts of shouts and strange, like a hurricane in a canyon, sounded from the crowd, constantly hitting the eardrums.Hesperius only shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly after seeing this scene from afar: "So I came out to hide and be quiet." ”"Young man now......
"Vivien sighed as she clutched her head, and suddenly a gust of wind swept around her, followed by a large cloud of lightning and dark clouds rushing in the direction of the crowd.Hao Ren's reaction was half a beat slower, but he immediately followed.The group of troublemakers gathered in front of the city council hall had taken over almost the entire square, they were huge, and it seemed that there was not only one race, nor was it limited to one family, this was probably a group of forced forces united after deliberation, and the action factions from various young families gathered in the council hall square, occupying the roads and checkpoints, constantly pushing and impacting the city council's defenses.And that red light just now should be the handiwork of some principal: boasting of his own power, causing even more chaos, but not carrying out a real violent impact.In front of the council chamber are the guards of the "Parliament" maintaining the last order.There is no real sense of "government" in this sanctuary city.
Several large families, including the Hethanna family, and several ancient people sitting in the town are the ruling class here, and the parliamentary guards are the personal soldiers of these families and the ancients.These unprofessional vigilantes formed a line of defense in front of the hall, and the troublemakers had been in a tense confrontation for an unknown amount of time.When Hao Ren and the others arrived, the scene was such a tense and chaotic situation, and even the two sides of the confrontation did not notice this small team falling from the sky because of their high mental tension (the road outside was blocked, and Hao Ren and his party directly let the data terminal teleport in).A young vampire rushed to the front of the crowd, shouting in the direction of the council chamber: "This city is corrupted!"
We're going to get the traitors out of the hall!
”As soon as Hao Ren came out of the teleportation light, he heard such an angry shout.
