Chapter 1612: Sad City

"The warriors from the Demon City are here!"

"The holy contract is about to be fulfilled, everyone will come out and welcome you!"

Walking in this city located underground in the mezzanine area, Xia Fan and the others were warmly welcomed like emperors. The Wei Guang clan was happy and surrounded Xia Fan and the others, cheering the slogan of long live the Demon-Subduing Legion.

"As for being so excited, I haven't taken a shower for several days." Fo You lowered his head and rubbed his armpits.

All three of them were in a mess. Not only did they bathe and didn't take a bath, but they were filled with fishy smell of sea water and corpses. Even their clothes were already broken, just like three ragged beggars.

Nicai's space ring contains perfume of good quality. She originally planned to use perfume to relieve the embarrassing smell, but was stopped by Xia Fan to prevent the fragrance from attracting strange species all over the mezzanine world.

"They...they are so enthusiastic." Nicai said embarrassedly.

Although the Wei Guang clan has a weird appearance, it is very gentlemanly. The children gathered around Nicai, picked the most beautiful flowers, tied them with a simple straw rope, and handed them respectfully to Nicai's hands. The time is not long, and Nicai's flowers are cherry blossoms around Nicai, and there are hundreds of small flowers in his arms.

"Is the contract finally going to be fulfilled? Can we really leave the ground and live in a place with sunshine?" The thin little girl asked with excitement in her eyes.

contract?

Nicai was puzzled. She didn't know the contract between the Demon-Subduing Legion and the Weiguang Clan. She only knew that the Weiguang Clan was an ally in the mezzanine area. If she encountered danger, she could try to ask them for help, and she said nothing else.

"It's so rude. Apologize to this big sister." The little girl's mother hurriedly rescued the siege in niac.

"I'm sorry, I just want to see the real sunshine too much, as well as the vast land, the rolling mountains, the sea and the whales in the sea, I even dreamed of it." The little girl lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, then she was pulled aside by her mother, with an apology smile on her face.

To be honest, my mother's smile is not beautiful, but it is very warm. The corners of her mouth are raised upwards, revealing a row of sharp teeth, just like you have raised a gentle golden retriever. When you work all day and get home, the golden retriever feels excited from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, there is a very simple way to observe whether a person is simple, that is, look at her eyes. A truly brilliant smile is not only the curve of the corners of her mouth, but also the kindness of her eyes will be released.

The tragedy is all outstanding people who are old and gangsters. They teach Xia Fan the way to observe words and expressions, so as not to walk around in the world in the future and be obsessed with other people's words, which will make them lose face. Although they hope Xia Fan is a good person, they will never want him to be bullied by bad people.

"I think I understand what you mean." Xia Fan said to Seedrole, "The Wei Guang clan looks ugly and terrifying, but in fact he is simple and kind inside. The children can't lie and look at him. They really hope that the Demon Subduing Legion will come here, but I still don't understand. What is the contract they are talking about? Did they have any agreement with the Demon Subduing Legion?"

"That's a sad story." Seedrolai sighed in Xia Fan's mind, "Forget it, I'll take a break first. It's better to let the Wei Guang clan tell you by himself."

......

Water is the source of life. There are shallow ditches on both sides of all streets of Shengquan City. After the spring water gushes out, it flows along the ditches and flows to every household. People use the spring water flowing through the yard to wash clothes and cook, and water flowers, plants and trees.

"I really didn't expect that the most impressive building in this city was actually a school. I thought it was the elders' meeting hall, or a vault for storing wealth."

Foyou murmured that they were invited to a classroom. It is said that this is the highest etiquette of the Wei Guang clan. For them, children are hope, and the place where children learn is the most sacred place in the city. There cannot be any building above the height of the school. Even the temple of gods must be shorter than the school.

Xia Fan likes the philosophy of the Weiguang clan very much and always puts children and education first. It is said that they are asking for the lord of the city, and the lord is the principal of the school.

The supreme leader of the Weiguang clan is a teacher. He has no force and is only responsible for teaching children's lessons. This is unimaginable in most worlds where force is respected.

It seems to be a class for high school students. The tables and chairs are relatively large and can accommodate adults to sit down. Even those with slightly fat people like Buddha Travel can sit comfortably. There are neat textbooks on the table, and the teacher’s lesson preparations on the podium. The floor and tables and chairs are wiped spotlessly.

Nicai curiously found a seat to sit down, opened the children's textbook, and wanted to see what they were learning, but a few minutes later, Xia Fan saw Nicai's eyes slightly red, and his hands holding the textbook trembled slightly.

"You can see it for yourself."

Nicai pushed the opened textbook to Xia Fan and Fo You. They both leaned their heads and looked down and saw that it was a very special lesson, and the content of the course was generally like this.

First, we emphasize the sacredness of the contract, and then talk about the fact that many years ago, a team of exploration teams from the Demon City came here. At that time, the team was chased by the evil dragon, exhausted and dying. It was this city and the magical spring that protected them.

The Weiguang clan treated this group of strangers as the most noble guests, and had the best food and clothing. Finally, it helped the team of wrecked dog-like soldiers to recover their vitality. Before leaving, the soldiers claimed that they would come back sooner or later, hoping that the Weiguang clan would help them spy on the information in the mezzanine area. In return, they would accept the Weiguang clan as a member of the Demon City, so that they could leave the cold underground and live in a sunny and lush continent.

It is probably just a casual statement, just like a dying person. If someone claims that he can save his life, he will promise all the conditions and give away his daughter and his family property. Anyway, as long as he can survive, they will dare to promise anything.

But if this person really survives and asks them to give their daughter and family property, then he will definitely not be as refreshing as he promised. In the survival manual that Xia Fan saw, the description of the Weiguang clan was only a small line. When encountering danger, you can try to ask for help from Shengquan City, that's all.

But the innocent Weiguang clan believed it, and they even wrote this agreement with the Demon Subduing Legion into the children's textbook. Xia Fan finally understood why the Weiguang clan was so excited when he saw humans coming here. Many people even shed tears of excitement. The children danced and seemed to be the biggest festival in the world.

Because they really believe that humans will keep their promises and take huge risks to open up a road through the mezzanine area, and take these poor people living underground to the place where spring flowers bloom.

"So that's how it is..." Fo You grabbed his head, "I feel very embarrassed. I guess Fumo City didn't take this seriously, otherwise why have we never heard of it?"

"And it's too difficult to bring so many people out of the mezzanine area. When we came, we passed through Yalong's nest. Fortunately, the three of us were hard and Xia Fan was fast enough. Only then did we escape the disaster. The orphans and widows in the city took them to the ground? I'm afraid it would take hundreds of guys like Xia Fan."

"After that, there seems to be no adult men in the Weiguang clan. Chengdu is all women and children. Or it is the old man and aunt who can't walk, where are the adults here?"

Xia Fan frowned, "Do you still remember there is a large cemetery on the outer edge of the city, near the moat?"

"Remember, the cemetery of the Wei Guang clan is very special. The tombstones of each deceased are pyramid-shaped, as if the ground is covered with nails. At first, I thought it was a mechanism to defend against invasions, etc.," the Buddha lobbyed.

Xia Fan nodded, "I paid attention to the text on the tombstone. It was the place where the investigators were buried. All the inscriptions were engraved with similar content. Investigators XX, unfortunately died when they entered a certain area to investigate."

"When the Demon-Subduing Legion withdrew, he once told the Weiguang clan that you live in the mezzanine area. If you have the chance, please help us keep an eye on the major tribes here. When we come back again, we will repay you and take you out of here and go to the continent full of flowers."

silence.

There was a dead silence.

No one spoke for a whole few minutes.

"So the Weiguang clan believed it? He sent out the strong young men in the clan to be investigators for Fumo City. As more and more dead investigators were involved, the only elderly and children were left in the Holy Spring City. Just for the promise they made it, they sacrificed almost all the young people?" Fo You's voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, it seems like that." Xia Fan said, "I guess one or two soldiers who left the Holy Spring City back then might have successfully returned to the Demon-Fuing City and told the city lords about this."

"According to human inertial thinking, the city lords did not take this matter too seriously. After all, Fumo City does not understand the Weiguang Clan, and does not believe that the Weiguang Clan will try their best to spy on Fumo City's intelligence."

"As for leaving the Wei Guang clan, it is completely impossible to agree. It requires mobilizing a large number of troops, making huge sacrifices, and breaking a path of blood in the mezzanine area."

"As time passed, this incident was gradually forgotten by the Demon-Subduing Legion, so when the Survival Manual mentioned the Holy Spring City, the word used was to try and ask for help from the Holy Spring City. No one could be sure whether the Wei Guang clan still remembered that there was an agreement with the Demon-Subduing Legion."

"Damn it!" Fo You thrust his thigh hard, "Now, I didn't take it seriously, but the Weiguang clan thought it was a sacred contract, and for a foolish word, he ruined almost all of their young people."

"The three of us walked into the Holy Spring City like defeated dogs and were surrounded by the Wei Guang clan. They thought we were here to complete the contract, but they didn't know that we had no ability to take them away. Like the previous group of warriors, we were also here to escape. Not only could we not help them, but we also needed them to help us again."

Foyou had a black face. Although he did not make the promise, his mood was at the bottom of the valley at this moment.

So many innocent children surrounded you, thinking you were their hope, so they would take them out of the dark and cold ground and go to the paradise with milk and honey. You looked at them and accepted their kind hospitality and cheers, but you knew in your heart that you were a betrayal dog and could do nothing.

In the next few days, you will have to eat theirs and drink theirs, and finally pat your butt and leave. Before leaving, you will tell a lie, "You must be patient and keep waiting. I will come back to pick you up soon."
