Chapter 290 Gathering
Chapter 290 Gathering
In the gray-blue morning, the river was shrouded in a layer of fog. In the cold dawn of late autumn, Fan Wei strolled across the long white bridge and returned to the Dahe Self-service Restaurant where he had been busy all night.
"Welcome home, sir."
Clara was waiting by the door as usual and smiled at Fan Wei.
This is an expression that only belongs to him when it is quiet and no one is around.
Stroking the top of the girl's head, with a hint of relief in his tiredness, Fan Wei looked at the shop assistants who had been busy all night, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Clara, go and have a rest!"
"You are the one who needs rest the most, sir." Following the girl's cold voice, the two returned to the restaurant which was as warm as autumn.
After a night of hard work, they finally managed to temporarily accommodate the 300,000 refugees in the maze. However, the subsequent problems are still very heavy and numerous. Shelter, hygiene, food, clothing and safety all need to be resolved as soon as possible!
Fan Wei is very grateful to the old customers who came to help yesterday.
But everyone has his own life and it is impossible to stay in the maze forever, so as soon as he came out of the maze, he immediately ran to the guild to issue a long-term task.
Adventurers were hired to work as guards at various refugee settlements, and the remuneration was very generous.
This is a temporary solution to the urgent problem, and more planning will be needed later!
Sitting down on the chair with a sigh of relief, Fan Wei saw that in addition to his own family members, there were two guests from the Sage Tower.
"Irene, Ms. Vilolinka, and Mr. Berents, is everyone doing well?" He greeted them with a smile. As a frequent visitor to the Sage Tower, Fan Wei was very familiar with all the department heads.
During his several trips back and forth between the maze and the restaurant, he also heard about the blood plague riots that suddenly broke out in the streets.
Although Irene and the others, the temple, and the civilian adventurers handled the situation in a timely manner and the situation has stabilized, even a fool would know that there are huge hidden dangers behind the incident! A serious and thorough investigation is necessary!
Judging from the looks of the magicians, the trouble is probably not small.
"This is a serious problem." Pushing the soy milk cup on the table, Irene, who had also been running all night, sighed, "A malicious 'super-position person' appeared in the maze street! It is suspected to be an abyss demon summoned by the cultists' sacrifice!"
"Based on the known circumstances, the main part of the sacrificial ceremony has been completed!"
"I'm afraid that in two or three days at most, a being that can easily destroy the entire city will arrive!"
Fan Wei, who was about to pick up the chopsticks and eat the breakfast brought by Clara, froze on the spot.
I never thought the situation has become so serious!!
"Master Tower Master, do you have any solution? Does the temple have any emergency plan?"
He asked hurriedly, if the problem is so serious, then the previous difficulties are nothing! The devil is coming! Even if it is just a projection, it will cause great damage!
It's just a disaster. Isn't it too much to go directly to the doomsday level copy?
Fan Wei took a bite of the bun depressedly. Now that things had come to this, he could only eat first.
"Bad news among bad news." Vilolinka said with a somewhat sarcastic smile, "The tower master went to the South Coast for a meeting! It's located in the independent space of the Sage Tower headquarters, and no communication can be transmitted into it."
"Unless the meeting is over, or those old monsters come out on their own, don't expect the tower master to come and provide support."
"What a coincidence?" Fan Wei was puzzled. In a crisis that only happens once in a thousand years, why is the key person not there? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a conspiracy!
"It is just as you think, Mr. Misr."
Minister of Magic Berents tapped the pipe in his hand and sighed with worry, "Besides the Lord of the Tower, this is the response we received after we warned the guild."
"The guild leader left not long ago for some reason and cannot be contacted!"
"Just when the demons descended, all the top fighters in the Labyrinth Street left! It's definitely not just a coincidence!"
"...All right."
After staring blankly in thought for a moment, Fan Wei continued to use his chopsticks and finished the breakfast like a whirlwind.
He breathed a sigh of relief, having sorted out some clues in his mind. "The only thing I can do next is to look into the devil cultists and sacrificial rituals, right? I've also read a little bit of Theology and Sacrifice."
"If you want to provide a vessel for the gods or demons who do not enter the mortal world to descend, you will definitely need a large number of lives and souls!"
"Such a large-scale operation, even in the chaos caused by refugees, cannot have no impact at all. There must be someone cooperating to cover it up! And this person is extremely powerful!"
He reasoned along this line of thought and was suddenly stunned. "The source of the problem appears in the West District?"
"Yes!" Irene looked up suddenly. "Fan, do you have any guesses? Tell us now!"
Fan Wei opened his mouth, but suddenly hesitated and pinched his chin, as if he was stuck in some problem. He struggled and thought for a while before saying seriously, "I just think that the natural chaos in the West District is the best place to hide."
"Besides...I have a few friends in the West End."
Berents nodded. "I hope they are all safe. If there is really no other way, I will have to go to the West District myself."
The Minister of Magic had a determined look in his eyes. There were millions of people in the Maze Street, plus millions of victims pouring in.
More than two million people have nowhere to escape. If there is a slight possibility, even if it is a road of no return! He, the Minister of Magic, will go on! For Berents, Maze Street is his home.
There is no need to hesitate to protect your home.
"Add me as one. My ability is particularly useful to high-end forces at certain times. The Sage Tower, the Guild, and the Royal Consulate cannot provide much help for the time being."
"I just hope the temple can give us some surprises." Fan Wei smiled helplessly.
Irene beside him changed her expression quietly, "I say...don't be so reckless!"
"There's a saying that goes, 'If you have green mountains, you'll never run out of firewood!' Although a crisis could break out at any time, we can still keep a safe distance at our speed."
Vilolinka also squinted his eyes, shook his head and smiled:
"That's right, sister. I've made it clear in advance that I won't put myself in danger! I hope you guys will do the same."
"With just one look from a super-position person, everyone present can be swatted to death like a fly!"
"Don't dream of escaping adversity or turning the tables. It will only add a few more names to the death list!"
"Anyway, the world is not about to fall apart. For us, it's just a matter of moving to a new place to live."
"Aren't you right, little girl?"
The department head asked Clara who was standing beside her. Even in the face of a disaster, the girl remained calm and said, "I will be wherever I am, sir."
"It's the same even if I die."
...It's really hopeless. Vilolinka looked at Gonia and Chloro again, hoping that they could voice some support for her.
"Demons? Even if we want to burn the world, we have to kill them first, right? I will fulfill the mission with my brother!"
There was a kind of cold enthusiasm on Chloro's young face. To her, the only problem in the world was killing, killing, killing! Destroy everything! ! Burn everything! !
Ms. Vilolinka, with a twitching mouth, looked at the last person, Gonia, who was trembling.
This person should be more reliable, right?
"It's over, it's over..." the blonde girl murmured, already in a state of panic.
Her life is tied to Fan Wei. If Misler Fan dies, she will also disappear from this world. She is really finished, wuwuwu!
Looking at the two calm figures and the one collapsed, the department head was speechless.
This family is full of weirdos...
I can't really follow them into the West District, can I? Vilolinka sighed deeply and looked at Irene beside him. This cute little elf, however, focused all her attention on Misr Fan.
This world is not worth it...The department head swallowed her sad tears.
