Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!
Chapter 51 Reactions from all parties
Because they were in the town, Lido did not dare to use her spiritual thread to search for the village chief and his companions. After searching for a while without any results, and as it was almost noon, Lido found a roadside stall, bought some food, ate while walking, and continued to look for the carriage.
When Lido left home, she left all the gold coins she had saved on the desk in her room, and left a note for Leisa and the others to spend without worries. She only kept some silver and copper coins on her body for use at times like this. Otherwise, she would take out gold coins at random, which would not only be inconvenient to make change, but also easily attract the attention of thieves. However, Lido was not afraid of thieves.
By the time Lido found the village chief's carriage, the food in her hand was almost finished. A few people had just come out of a restaurant and were about to go to the Pharmacist Association. Lido stopped the carriage halfway and got on. As soon as she got on the car, she saw that several people looked unhappy, and it seemed that things were not going well. Lido was not a person who liked to poke people's sore spots, but she really wanted to know the progress of the matter, so she asked a question.
Hearing Liduo's question, the faces of several people, which were already bad, became even darker. The village chief said in a low voice: "So far, we have only been to two places - the city hall and the Elf Temple. The city hall is still the same. When we reported it, the governor asked us to tell the whole story again and described the appearance of the mountain. We said it as you said last night and showed them the route map you drew. As a result, after a long time of trouble, we got a sentence of "We will report it. If the higher-ups think it is necessary, they will send someone to check it out. Don't worry, go back with peace of mind." We reminded them, "Why don't you send someone from the guard team to check it out first? We can lead the way." As a result, the other party replied to us, "The guard team is very busy and can't send anyone," and drove us out."
"This is so strange! As a governor, even if he suspects that what you said is exaggerated, he should rather believe it than not. It is impossible that he did nothing. After all, the news you reported is really important. Did any of you notice the governor's expression and actions when he heard the news you reported? Has the city hall always been like this? How long has the governor been in White Rock Town? "
Li Duo instinctively felt something was wrong. After hearing what Li Duo said, the others also felt that the Archon's reaction was a little strange. Deputy Captain Huang Shi Jiahe said hesitantly: "The Archon seemed to have been sitting on his chair with his arms folded, listening to our report expressionlessly, without changing his expression or movements at all."
The village chief continued, "Looking back now, it seems that when we reported to the Devil Bat Commander before, the Archon was him, and his expression and actions seemed to be similar...? To be honest, that was the first time I reported news since I became the village chief. The departments we usually interact with are mainly the tax office and the guard team. It seems that I have to find out some information in this regard."
"The Archon's reaction is not right!" Liduo said affirmatively, "Do you remember your reaction when you first heard me tell you this? You were shocked, right? I think as a person from the Magic Continent, who has been deeply harmed by the invasion of monsters, there are people who remain calm when hearing the word "magic tide", but it is very problematic for such people to appear in Baishi Town. Tell me about the situation at the Elf Temple."
"The Elf Temple listened to our report carefully and asked for some details. They also took our route map. But when we asked when they would send someone to check and see if we could lead the way, they just said they had their own arrangements and asked us to go back and wait patiently."
"The attitude of the Elf Temple is also very subtle..." Lido stroked her chin and pondered, "But the attitude of the Archon seems to be different. With insufficient information, it is difficult to judge..."
"When the village chief finished reporting the situation, I whispered, 'Two years ago, our village was invaded by monsters and a demon bat leader appeared. We also reported it to the city hall at that time. I wonder if they found anything unusual at that time.' Then I accidentally saw the deacon frowning and his face darkened. I wonder if it's serious? ''Another unknown deputy captain also added.
"Oh? In this case, the Elf Temple and the City Hall should not belong to the same camp, at least they did not communicate with each other in advance. It seems that the situation in the town is very complicated. In the past, each village probably only reported the news to the City Hall, which was too easy to be deceived. In this way, when we go to other institutions next time, we can add that sentence as we did in the Elf Temple just now, and take the opportunity to see the other party's reaction. I hope we can judge which institution is normal." Li Duo suggested, "Especially the Magic Mall. Logically speaking, among all the outbound institutions, they should be the least willing to see the magic tide happen."
"What is certain now is that there is definitely a problem at the City Hall, but we don't know if it's just the governor or if there are problems throughout the city. But they are an official agency, which is the most disadvantageous to us. Don't go out alone these days, and go in groups to avoid being murdered. Fortunately, we didn't plan to report only to the City Hall this time, but spread the news directly to other agencies. If we had waited for the City Hall to forward the news like last time, there might have been no follow-up. In this way, it will not be so easy to completely cover up the news, and we will have more protection." At this time, Lido didn't care about her plan to "hide", and actively made an analysis. As they were talking, the Pharmacists Association arrived.
"Then let's go through the other agencies first and analyze them together later." The village chief made the final decision and turned to look at Li Duo, "Do you want to go with us?"
"I won't go. It's too conspicuous. I'll show you the carriage." Liduo waved her hand and refused. She sat in the carriage and watched the people walk into the Pharmacist Association.
In less than half an hour, several people came out, and they hurriedly got on the car and hurried to the Blacksmith Association. In less than half an hour, several people arrived on the road to the Magic Mall. They stayed in the Magic Mall for a long time, and their faces were slightly relieved. Including the last mercenary guild, it took more than two hours to complete the whole trip. Back in the carriage again, several people talked about the situations they encountered in various institutions one by one.
In general, the Pharmacist Association and the Blacksmith Association followed the lead of the Elf Temple in both their words and deeds, and their words were surprisingly consistent. The Magic Mall seemed to take it very seriously, and listened carefully to the news from several people, and also kept the route map brought by several people, but ignored the suggestion of sending people to check it out immediately. It was obvious that they did not want to take the lead and wanted to wait and see the actions of the City Hall and the Elf Temple.
The reactions of these families to the village chief's additional words were similar to those of the Elf Temple. Could it be that the news was concealed by the City Hall? But in this case, they first considered their own interests and were unwilling to sacrifice their own manpower, hoping that the City Hall or the Elf Temple would help. Or maybe it was just a convention, and their reaction was not wrong.
But the City Hall is obviously not to be relied upon, and if it doesn't play tricks behind the scenes, it would be a mistake to blame the Archon. The Elf Temple also has an ambiguous attitude, making it hard to figure out what's going on, and I'm afraid it's a bit shameful. It's precisely because of the problems on these two sides that things are so difficult to deal with.
The Mercenary Guild did not live up to its name. After hearing the news from the village chief and his friends, they said they would pay a fee to buy the news. If the village chief and his friends wanted to spread the news to Qingyan City or even the higher-level county government or find experts to kill monsters, they could post a task at the Mercenary Guild and guarantee a fair fee. The village chief and his friends were so embarrassed that they could not even cry or laugh. Even if they sold the entire Huangshi Village, they could not raise the commission.
Under normal circumstances, just talking about this incident, the village head and his team should report the news to the governor, and the city hall will report the news to Qingyan City while sending people to inform the Elf Temple and other institutions. Then all the institutions in the town will organize a team to verify the news. If the news is verified, the city hall will apply for military assistance from Qingyan City, and other institutions will also report the news and prepare their own supplies.
Normally, it is not realistic to bring a large army from afar, but the City Hall can apply to the Elf Temple for the support of several more advanced Elf Summoners, such as Master Summoners, and the Qingyan City Legion can assist in the encirclement and suppression of ordinary monsters. In simple terms, the masters invited by the Elf Temple are responsible for fighting the boss, and the Qingyan City Legion is responsible for clearing the soldiers. The Pharmacist Association, the Blacksmith Association, and the Magic Mall supply the potions, equipment, and other supplies needed by the Legion at a low price. The Mercenary Guild takes the opportunity to eat some of the small shrimps leaked by the Legion. Afterwards, the parties will sit down to distribute the credit and benefits. Of course, the credit mainly belongs to the Elf Temple and the Legion. They will obtain most of the spoils after the battle, and then sell them to the Pharmacist Association, the Blacksmith Association, and the Magic Mall at a low price, and both parties will be happy.
After analyzing it over and over again, they could not think of a way to break the current situation. The City Hall is an official institution with a good pedigree, and the Elf Temple is a semi-official institution. They are closely related to the Empire. The mobilization of the Legion cannot bypass the City Hall, and the Elf Temple has obviously more strong men than the Legion. If they want to eliminate the monsters deep in the Daqing Mountain, the two parties must cooperate sincerely.
Now that the attitudes of both parties are unclear, the people of Huangshi Village have to do their best to protect themselves and cannot take any more actions. They can only follow the original plan and stay in the town to get information, but they have to travel in groups. Going to Qingyan City Corps is the last choice, but no one knows whether that plan can be realized. Of course, the plan of inviting the top and second leaders of each village to dinner in the afternoon must continue, not only to gain more support, but also to reduce the value of the black hand behind the scenes to silence them, so as to temporarily save their lives. As for whether there will be retaliation later, they can't care so much at the moment.
