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 get 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 that needed to be dealt with. Therefore, this half-day was not a post-war celebration at all. Instead, it was like a gloomy lesson summary meeting. Hesiana and Jean finished their respective affairs.
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 ones
In this situation, the forces basically had no say, so Hesiana and Jean Lucas were the only remaining leaders of the forces in this sanctuary. They personally ran around the city and collected those who were in the city.
The ancients who played a decisive role in the defense war were all invited over. With Vivian's reputation in charge, everyone came this time.
The only ancient being 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, but 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 prestigious 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 everything is unsafe. In fact, there is no difference between the inside and outside of the shelter. The main reason why the shelter was breached this time is the shadow layer
It failed, and as long as the shadow layer is rebuilt, the witchers still can't do anything about this place - this sanctuary has been in front of the witchers for thousands of years, and they all know that a large group of aliens gather here.
As they know the situation of several other shelters in the world, 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 its previous state.
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, now the Shadow Mediator is
It has been restarted, 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, on the premise of not giving up this shelter.
Hao Ren knew that he was an outsider here, but when he heard these discussions about the fate of the city, he couldn't help but want to get involved. 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 was burning witches with great fanfare.
At that time, a large group of demon hunters came here. The scene was more lively than today, but it was still held. Then we had a meeting and everything was 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, there were constant wars in the following thousands of years. The losses of the demon hunters and aliens were actually not small, and now they have
It will be difficult to destroy a city as easily as 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's just about choosing a less bad option among a bunch of bad options. Most witchers are not
They will come in again, and they also have to consider their own losses, and the possibility of us being forced to bury the two Athenses together, so... ha, don't think about it so much."
Facts have proved that Hesiana was right.
The result of the discussion is that the shelter will continue to exist, and will continue to maintain a subtle confrontation with the witchers after repairs. Today's crisis is not the first time, and the residents of the city are used to it. A small number of them
They will probably leave soon, but more people will stay and continue to run this place. The meeting of the ancients also represents the future development route of the sanctuary. Hesiana and Jean Lucas on this issue
No objections were raised.
After the meeting, everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat. Hessiana 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 shout: "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..."
Hesperus 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 safe? 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 have nothing to do."
Hesiana puffed up her chest proudly: "How can I be a wallflower! I am simply a tumbleweed. Even if there is no wind, let alone the 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 stray people, and of course you are not the least of them. In fact, I had no choice but to ignore you before.
I really couldn’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 bit - well, it's to help Vivian, right?"
This trick worked exceptionally 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?”
Hesiana looked at Vivian and nodded in agreement.
"The other thing is about the Origin Artifact." Hao Ren glanced at Jean Lucas calmly in the distance. "Bessemuth might tell you, and there might be something about the Origin in the Shadow Demon Castle.
The record of the sacred artifact, so Jean must know sooner or later that this thing has been taken away by us, but to be honest... I am really useful in taking this, and it is very dangerous. I really can't let you study it casually, just for my sake.
...Okay, for the sake of Vivian, 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're 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: "The 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?" (To be continued, please ask.
