270. Even if it is not human, he will not be stingy with his mercy
Can animals become weird?
Lu Li has been thinking about breaking away from the statue's death retrospective.
The pig fell into the mire and became a monster after it died. As time went by, it was picked up and brought back by the villagers. They fed it to make it grow. When it was approached, the villagers became numb.
This is what happened with the statue.
The story ends with Lu Li using redemption to free it, and at the same time, his humanity has reached 20.
The embers of the collapsed church remained. People hid in houses next to the bonfire, and a strange fog filled the air to keep warm.
The living beings of the saved people are different. The villagers are immersed in the sadness of losing their companions, relatives and the village. The villagers who were changed by the statue and restored by the disappearance of the statue are surrounded by infinite regret and pain. The migrating travelers are grateful that they are still alive, as are the merchants, but
Soon I began to feel sad about losing money and goods.
There is no food in the village, and the people can only survive the night after being rescued by sleeping. After dawn, they will leave the village and go to Spin City.
The village chief Abdel suggested that they keep watch overnight. Lu Li nodded lightly and asked for information about Spin City.
Spin City is a small city. It is slightly larger than a town and not as densely populated as a city. It is used more as a hub city - the largest city in the Wasteland was located in the Land of Starfall to the east.
The city that once represented it ended up being the same as Belfast on the Arran Peninsula.
"It's not a good place to live."
Lu Li looked at the parchment map. The rotating city is inland, with no lakes around it, just like the abandoned inland villages and towns.
The only difference is that it persists.
"We have no food, and that is the nearest town..." The village chief Abdel sighed and continued to add: "The city lord is a stingy and greedy guy, but you are an exorcist, he should not dare to do anything...
…”
Chief Abdel could only hope that the city lord would accept them because of Lu Li.
The chatter in the hut gradually died down, and people were sleeping fast against the wall, wrapped in furs.
At midnight, the hour of silence suddenly visits.
However, people were awakened and kept quiet until the time of silence left, and no one was killed.
People spend their evenings peacefully in the village.
In the early morning, the strange fog receded.
People walked out of the house, and in the cold morning mist, only smoke remained from the burned ashes.
They searched the village again, and Lu Li followed, but could not find Anna's mark.
Soon, the people who had finished searching packed everything worth bringing, wrapped themselves in warm and comfortable furs, and followed Lu Li and Elena to leave the village.
Surrounded by hunger, the people moved quickly because Elena said a pack of hyenas might be wandering around.
However, they did not encounter the laughing and barking hyena until they left the village for more than ten miles.
Not just hyenas, they didn't encounter any wild beasts or strange things on the rest of the way. Occasionally, a vulture would appear and disappear into the wilderness after following it for a few miles.
It was in the afternoon when the outline of the revolving city appeared in the distance.
The tired and panting people became excited. Although there are still more than ten miles away from the Spin City, seeing the city-state and wandering aimlessly in the wilderness have two different meanings.
After continuing for two hours, people finally arrived at this small city surrounded by rubble walls.
But the situation is not so pleasant.
The guards guarding the city gate stopped them. Even though they knew that Lu Li was an exorcist, they still required permission from the noble council before entering the city.
After being allowed to enter the city, the attitude of the local residents towards them was not friendly. The residents on the street stared at Lu Li and the group of outsiders with xenophobic and disgusting eyes.
Most of the shops in the revolving city were closed, so Lu Li put people in the only open hotel. He asked the hotel owner to prepare some food and asked him about the situation in the city.
The answer is simple: there is not much food in the city.
The stored food has been exhausted, and hunting and arriving caravans are unable to supply the Spin City, which has a population of 20 to 30,000 people.
"Why don't you leave." Lu Li tilted his head and watched the hotel clerk take out the potatoes with soil from the cellar.
"My grandfather has been running this hotel since he started. I can't let it go out of my hands." The hotel owner just smiled and said. "By the way, we don't have that much food. We only have jicama that can barely feed you."
One meal, okay?"
"Yeah." Lu Li nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Aren't the other residents leaving as well?"
"In fact, many people have already left. Only those who have not been sent away and those like me who don't want to leave are left."
Lu Li asked some more questions, such as the Council of Nobles. It sounded like the city lord's rights were being evaded by local powerful people - which was indeed the case.
After the time of silence came, the city lord proposed to move out of the rotating city and move to a coastal town. The nobles and wealthy people in the city united to stop and evade the city lord.
In other words, imprison the city lord.
"What's the point of them doing this?" Elena's palms clenching the spear represented her emotions.
"Old, conservative, short-sighted." The hotel owner spread his palms. "And rich."
Lack of food and hunger are common people's problems, and the food reserves of each noble and rich man are enough to feed them for several months or even years. Therefore, they still play every night and live a life that common people cannot imagine.
"A bunch of bastards..." Elena whispered and said to Lu Li, "What are you going to do?"
"Find Anna first."
If Anna is in the city, rescuing the city lord and helping the local residents is not a problem.
The stewed potatoes were quickly served on the table, and Lu Li followed suit and ate some. After everyone finished eating, he told them about finding the mark in the spinning city.
The people he rescued all agreed. Except for women and children, people left the hotel in groups and spread out in the revolving city, looking for the signs Lu Li described.
"Are we just waiting here and doing nothing?" Elena asked unwillingly.
"We are not much better than others in finding marks." Lu Li replied, taking out the stone badge and crushing it.
Before people came back, the businessman walked into the hotel lobby.
"Ten boxes of canned pork, send them as soon as possible," Lu Li said.
The businessman turned around and left without even making an offer.
"Why don't you ask for more?" Elena asked. She had seen the strangeness of the merchants when she was in Helen Town.
"Canned food won't appear out of thin air. If I take away ten boxes, there will be ten boxes missing." Lu Li said.
The businessman returned sooner than expected.
Half an hour later, the businessman carrying the cans walked into the hotel at the same time as the first group of people who returned. They were surprised by the businessman's mystery, and were even more delighted by the wooden crates filled with cans that had fallen neatly on the floor.
What makes people feel guilty is that they didn't find the mark Lu Li described.
Groups of rescued people who went out to search came back and got the same answer.
Until the last few people came back. They didn't find the mark, but they found information that Lu Li might be interested in.
"An exorcist recently came to Viscount Hamis's residence. It is said that she has magical powers like a wizard."
