"I am Valentine, the city lord of Lund City, temporarily. Are you the exorcists here to help?" Valentine put down his quill, and his questioning voice echoed in the empty hall.
"No, we don't have special ways to deal with dandelions."
Valentine was a little disappointed, stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, and endured some pain: "Please tell me your purpose, two exorcists."
Lu Li explained his purpose of coming, and told him that the city of Flarende was no longer suitable for people to live, and asked them to find a way to contact the United Exorcists and the cities in the south to warn them that the dandelions were moving towards the peaceful plains.
"Flalende Nursing Home... I have no memory, but the name shouldn't be difficult to find. Ford, ask the old man in the safe zone."
The waiter exited the hall, and Valentine's eyes fell on the two people in the middle again: "Don't worry about the wind direction. We contacted the surrounding towns half an hour ago."
"As for what you said about abandoning Lund City... won't they rot?"
"I don't know, but it's not smart to gamble hundreds of thousands of people on such a slim chance."
Although the migration of hundreds of thousands of people is also a nuisance, the return of dandelions will cause even greater harm.
"Maybe you are right, we can't afford to do it again." Valentine's tone revealed that he did not have much nostalgia for this city, or that the people here are more important to him than the city.
"I have thought about this, but the luck in my heart and my reliance on Lund persuaded me that maybe it wouldn't happen... It was you who made me wake up. You are right, we have to get out of here."
Valentine leaned forward and looked at Lu Li seriously: "Can you stay to help our people?"
Before Lu Li answered, a shrill shout suddenly sounded at the door of the hall.
"They're back!"
Snap——
The figure who rushed into the city hall fell to the ground, struggled to get up, picked up the fallen beak mask and put it on.
"At this time?" Valentine obviously knew that they were not referring to dandelions, but another existence: "Where are they?"
"Thirty minutes ago on Patch Street...that poor woman was forced to eat her husband." The figure shouted desperately, as if "they" had frightening power.
"I know..." Valentine rubbed his forehead again: "Let the scavengers evacuate the people there and take them to a safe area... Forget it, take them outside the city hall. I have a plan to arrange after disinfection.
.”
The frightened figure retreated, and Lu Li looked away: "Who is back?"
"One of the two devils who ravaged Wayneford County was once the pride of Flarende...Sarah and Adam."
They also came here when Lu Li and Anna just arrived in Flalund City.
Could it be a coincidence? Adam regretted it, or did Sarah notice something?
Anna wanted Lu Li to leave, but before she could say anything, Lu Li had already told Valentine: "We plan to stay and help."
"Thank you both very much for your help." Valentine's gratitude is real. Wayne Ford County is equivalent to the countryside to those in the Quiet Plains. It is indeed a poor place, so much so that there is only one person in a big city with a population of one million.
A family of exorcists was stationed there, and this family of exorcists and the exorcists of the three major organizations went to King Allen City a few days ago... Now they need any assistance——
"Why do you say one of them was the pride of this place?" Anna looked away from Lu Li's face.
Apart from the similar process and ending, they did not know the true story of Sarah and Adam.
"Sarah was a councilor in the city-state of Flallund a hundred years ago. She inherited her father's title, was beautiful, young, smart? And most importantly... single. Everyone knew about Lund at that time.
She? Partly because of her fame, partly because of what she does."
"She takes in refugees and homeless people and doesn't even mind if they live in her own manor? Can be friends with anyone, even beggars? She is friendly to others. Before the lie was exposed, she was even thought to succeed the old city lord as Lun.
Germany’s first female city lord.”
"But a lie is a lie after all. Does her rise threaten an established noble? He should have taken over as the next city lord like tradition, but now everything has been taken away by Sara who appeared like a meteor. As a political opponent? That noble?
Is he trying to attack and dig out the negative side of Sara? And he really found the evidence.”
"The filth hidden beneath all the glamour."
"Sara is performing evil sacrificial rituals. The outsiders who became residents of Lund due to her proposals disappear every once in a while, and the refugees living in her manor always have someone disappearing... When Sara
Because of the conclusive evidence, they were imprisoned in the dungeon, and when people pried open the basement of the manor, they found mountains of bones."
"The people were surprisingly angry? Sarah was hanged quickly as expected? She was hanged on the gallows in front of thousands of people in the square. Everything should have ended there, but a few days later...she came back,
With her twists, hatred, and love."
After finishing speaking, Valentine coughed softly.
This is a bad ending where the bad guys don't get the punishment they deserve.
Surely? It couldn't have ended better for Sarah.
"They left Lunde decades ago." Valentine said in a hoarse voice after coughing. "But their stories have been circulating in Lunde? Even children of a few years old can't imagine this time.
They will come back again..."
Only fools and those who want to grab a life-saving straw would think that they returned to the city of Flaunde, which was being invaded by dandelions, to save people... Their purpose is no different from that of dandelions——
"The only good news is that they can't kill as fast as dandelions...I will make an evacuation plan next, you two? Please go to the infected area with my assistant to help first. The information you need will be sent to you later."
The city lord's assistant walked in to lead the way? Before leaving? Lu Li thought of something: "What does it mean to be a temporary city lord."
Valentine told the high-level scandal frankly: "The original city lord escaped from the secret passage leading outside the city after knowing that they were coming? When the body of the deputy city lord was found, it had become a breeding ground for them. But there is also good news, that
A secret passage is now our best way to leave the city."
They followed the city lord's assistant out of the city hall,
"Why did you stay to help instead of leaving?" Anna asked Lu Li softly.
Anna didn't like, or rather disapproved of, Lu Li's choice. She realized that it was not only herself who had changed, but also him - the old Lu Li would never put himself in danger.
"They're here too. We might be discovered if we go directly to the sanatorium."
"You know that's not what I want to ask."
After a moment of silence, Lu Li said: "Because of human nature."
One is more illusory and only exists in human nature in thought.
