Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 47 The Frozen Scale
"I don't care about his life. As long as he hands over the location of New Manchester and you follow me back to New London, you can chop him up even if you want."

Li Jianghao spread his hands helplessly, if these people didn't believe him, he could only use some coercive means.

"I will tell you the location of New Manchester! Help me, I know a lot of knowledge, the secrets of Tesla City's underground, and the truth about this apocalypse!"

Because of the intrusion of Li Jianghao and others, Tesla has not been abused for a long time, and his energy has recovered a bit. When he saw the ribbon on Li Jianghao's heat lamp, he knew that he was his colleague.Perhaps when the Consul was appointed, they were summoned by the Queen together.

Even if the nobles of the empire made a big mistake, they would generally not be executed.Even if there is a big fight between two nobles, the two will always leave a bottom line.This is to prevent the members of one's own family from dying one day, and leaving a life behind.

This is also the reason why the survivors of Tesla City gave up going to New London, where they could survive, and chose to execute Tesla in this cave and die together.

They were afraid that Li Jianghao, who was also the mayor, would pardon Tesla, and they would not be able to avenge their relatives and compatriots.

It's a pity that although Li Jianghao has Richard's memory, he is not actually an imperial governor, and he has no good impression of these oppressive exploiters.

Li Jianghao said with a smile: "Then tell me, what is the truth of the end?"

Seeing Li Jianghao let go, Tesla immediately told a story that was extravagant, which sounded like he was fooling a child to others:

Tesla saw a giant dragon covered in ice scales underground in Tesla City, and the place where he walked was filled with ice that could freeze everything.

The giant dragon was elegant and beautiful, and did not notice the little lives spying on it in the distance.

Tesla tried to describe the creature with all his beautiful adjectives, but his mouth was too dry to go on.

I had to say: "I built huge power protection measures to prevent the creatures that can only bring cold disasters from coming out of the ground. This is to protect the living people!"

"You're lying! You don't know how to make up a story that's more realistic. How can there be dragons in this world?"

Survivors were outraged by Tesla's brazenness, but they did not know that Tesla told the story, except for the last sentence, that he had seen it with his own eyes.

Tesla hurriedly looked at Li Jianghao: "What I said is true. The dragon disappeared not long ago. I found the scales he left behind in the underground cave, and they have always been with me. They took off my You can find the winter clothing inside!”

When Li Jianghao heard this story, his heart was overwhelmed for countless times.

What Tesla described gradually overlapped with the mysterious, elegant but cold figure in his mind.

Ice dragon, ancient dragon species.

The embodiment of natural disasters and unparalleled power. In the plot of the Monster Hunter game, it is a terrifying creature that can only be pushed back but cannot be killed.

"System, what the hell is this thing! Doesn't it mean that the second-level world distortion is the highest level of distortion that this world can bear? Explain, explain! What is the fucking ancient dragon species! Explain, explain, this fucking head Where did the ice dragon come from?"

"Please pay attention to the word civilization, savior. It has been searched, and ancient dragon species will not appear again in this world."

It will not appear again, it has appeared before!

"Didn't it mean that the darkening of the sun is the truth of the cold disaster in this world? What's going on with this ancient dragon?"

"There is no relevant data, so I can't explain it for the time being. It is recommended that the savior give priority to the mission. The ancient dragon of the natural disaster level will not interfere with your mission. Perhaps the things left behind by it will be helpful to your mission."

After saying this, the system fell into silence again, no matter how Li Jianghao called, there was no response.

In the eyes of everyone, they only saw Mayor Richard Nozzy's complexion puffed up, and he cursed very angrily, but he didn't make any sound.

Then, like a lunatic, he threw himself at Tesla's winter jacket and shook it until a warm, ice-colored flake fell out.

The ice dragon's scales are exactly the same as the ancestral scales of a certain Tyrannosaurus cub's humanoid partner in a certain game.

Fortunately, the system has confirmed that the Ice Dragon has left this world and will not appear again in his subsequent missions, so Li Jianghao's anxious heart relaxed.

He carefully put away the scale, turned to look at the crowd, and found that the eyes of people looking at him were quite abnormal.

My own scouting team is used to it, but it's a little embarrassing.The survivors of Tesla City are wondering how this idiot became the mayor. Is Her Majesty the Queen blind?
However, thinking of the violent rule of Tesla, the mayor of his home, presumably, when Her Majesty the Queen appointed the mayor, his eyes had been blind for many times.

"I'll take your word for it. Tell me where New Manchester is."

Li Jianghao held the holy sword and walked in front of Tesla regardless of other people's eyes.

Tesla was overjoyed, thinking that Li Jianghao was going to save himself, so he hurriedly revealed the location of New Manchester.

As a fish waiting to be slaughtered, after losing the last chance to fight, even if the fate turns back, it will not help.

The survivors looked at Li Jianghao with hatred. If this guy wants to take Tesla away by force, they will kill everyone here!
But after a long time, after Li Jianghao confirmed the location of New Manchester, he put away his weapon, turned around and walked to the cave exit:

"You can execute him now. I sentence him to death as the consul of the empire and in the name of the queen. Therefore, your actions do not violate any imperial laws, and you still receive my asylum as the queen's subjects."

The smile on Tesla's face had not yet bloomed. After listening to Li Jianghao say these words, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy hell.

"No, no! You can't do this! I am the consul appointed by the queen, you untouchables, how dare you—"

His disgusting voice stopped at the last shout, and the angry people attacked Tesla with everything they had, venting their hatred.

Although it doesn't make much difference to them whether they have a legal name to kill Tesla, Li Jianghao's words still act as a catalyst.This makes them believe that they are righteous, and subconsciously, reduce the idea of ​​going to hell with this demon.

"In the name of the queen, smash you bastard to death, go to hell!"

Finally, an older worker picked up the stone and smashed it down with an angry roar.

Everything fell into silence.
