Chapter 441

After killing clemon, the leader of the snake man marauder, ahan was like a tiger into a flock of sheep. Almost every time he cleaved with his double handed Epee, he would take the life of an elite snake man soldier, which could be called a battlefield harvester.

Bai Xiaowen's eyes jumped. Judging from the strength shown by Yahan, it can be comparable to the rare leader level.

As Bai Xiaowen inferred, the difficulty of the main task is reduced by 50%, which is very simple for the awakened. As long as you find the behind the scenes, you don't even need to take the initiative to participate in the war, Yahan, a powerful NPC, can handle it alone.

What makes Bai Xiaowen feel a little pity is that the serpent leader clemon and other serpent warriors did not drop the treasure chest, but only gave Bai Xiaowen some power points symbolically. The so-called "one sweat, one harvest", the awakened person has no corresponding combat contribution value, and must not get benefits from the monster drop.

The only thing that makes Bai Xiaowen feel gratified is that because he lit a gun for each monster, he participated in the killing, so the black soul stone can absorb the souls of dead snake people, which improves the growth of the black soul stone.

Counting the hunting for several days in the space of the dead lake, the growth of Bai Xiao Wen's black soul stone has reached 5 level (4752000), and has accumulated 510 soul essence.

The whole team of snake man marauders was destroyed. Ahan, with a heavy sword, came to the mayor hellem.

Hiram looked pale.

"Tie him up." ahan was silent for a moment and gave the order to the militia.

"Aleosha!"

The sound of horses' hoofs sounded in the distance, and a woman came galloping on horseback.

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and sighed softly: "those who should come will always come."

The woman who came was Alexei's wife, Hiram's daughter, Ginny David.

Ginny got off her horse and came to ahan.

"Aleosha, I beg you for one thing. Can you let my father go?" Ginny called ahan's nickname and her beautiful face was bloodless. "You have to believe that it is not his father's intention to do such a thing. You know what kind of person he is and his nature is good!"

Ahan stared at Ginny with his eyes under his thick eyebrows. "You already know this, don't you?"

Ginny was a little cramped by Yahan's eyes and lowered her head slowly.

Ahan smiled sadly: "originally, I've been kept in the dark. Mayor hellem, now you can say why you kidnapped your residents and gave them to these long tailed monsters?"

The mayor of helham muttered: "I don't know why... One day I was fishing on the beach, and the waves rushed up a small wood carving. I was deeply fascinated by it... Later, there was a strange voice in my heart, whispering in my ear constantly, tempting me to do some irrational things... Later, the snake man appeared and took advantage of some of my previous mistakes Blackmail me... I really didn't mean it! "

Ahan shook his head and said, "this is not your reason."

The mayor of hailham sighed: "Alexei, it's my own weak will. It has nothing to do with Ginny. After she found out, she has dissuaded me many times... But I was bent on keeping my wealth and status, so I had to go to the dark."

"Then you can only accept the people's judgment." ahan was expressionless.

Ginny stopped in front of ahan and said with tears, "Alyssa, I haven't begged you since I married you... This is the first time I begged you to give my father another chance, okay?"

Harlem mayor also said: "Alexei, as long as you can keep my reputation, after today's events, I am willing to step down as mayor and choose you as the next mayor. You and Ginny's children will become the heirs of my title. I always treat you as my son. Ginny is my favorite daughter..."

Yahan remained silent. Bai Xiaowen could clearly see that his big hand was trembling slightly: "keep your reputation? I don't have this ability."

When the mayor of hailham saw that ahan was silent, he added another fire: "Ahan, the situation is not irreparable now. The snake people who came to meet them are dead, and these kidnapped residents have been secretly detained and have never seen my face... Just put the blame on these snake people! Your patrol militia are highly obedient to you. As long as you order to seal up, they will never reveal the truth."

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen received a prompt message about the rules of the spirit world.

"The main task: the truth in the fog. The progress has changed. Helem David, the criminal of the missing persons case, tried to reach an agreement with Sheriff Alexei Yahan to deceive the public."

"If the truth of the missing person case cannot be made public, the main task will fail."

"Please prevent the two sides from reaching an agreement."

Li Shuyi's face changed slightly. Obviously, she also received the same prompt. She looked at Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen waved her hand slightly and motioned to Li Shuyi not to be impatient. Bai Xiaowen was actually prepared for this situation.

"Mayor helham, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to deceive the people." Bai Xiaowen stood up and said.

Hellam glared at Bai Xiaowen: "who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak like that?"

Ahan said in a deep voice, "the skelbum brothers and sisters are my right-hand assistants. Without their participation, I still don't know the truth of the case. He is qualified to speak on this matter."

Hiram's eyes were filled with amazement, resentment and fear. He looked up and down at Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, and his tone suddenly softened: "You two are friends of Yahan. You should know that if this incident is exposed, it will cause a heavy blow to Yahan's family and his own reputation. The residents may no longer believe Yahan, and his position as a sheriff will be deprived... For Yahan, please hide the truth of this incident."

It has to be said that Hiram's IQ is not low if he can be the mayor of Hodge town. At this time, he must not intimidate Bai Xiaowen. That will only have a negative effect. Taking Yahan as an example, it is much more likely to shut Bai Xiaowen up.

However, Bai Xiaowen couldn't go back. He shook his head and said, "unfortunately, it's irreparable now."

"What do you mean?" Hiram's face changed.

"Someone is coming! Many people..." a militia in the distance rushed over and said breathlessly.

Noisy footsteps and voices sounded. From the intersection in the west, you can see a long dragon composed of torches, and hundreds of residents of Hodge town rushed over.

"Where is the murderer?"

"Severely punish the kidnapper!"

"My son... Pray to the Lord of light to protect him!"

Hiram's face turned pale again. This time there was really no blood at all.

Yahan's eyes turned to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "I informed the families of the missing. Of course, in the process of notification, some residents with excessive curiosity also followed, and the number was more than I expected. I think the residents have the right to know the truth - at least the families of the victims have this right."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued:

"If Mr. Mayor can keep all the families of these angry victims tight lipped, I can only admit that you are powerful and excellent in acting. I won't care about it any more."

The mayor of helham's face is pale. It's easy for a small group of people to seal, but it's not so easy to shut up hundreds of people, especially the families of the victims?

The mayor of hailham suddenly thought of something and suddenly came forward and grabbed ahan's arm: "there is no time. Now is the last chance to announce to these residents that these snake people have taken the residents! I... I'm here to help you solve the case!"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly. There was no time. There were two patrol militias here. To hide the facts, in addition to ordering by virtue of Yahan's prestige, the mayor of hailham had to buy the militia with gold coins, then unify his caliber and make up a lie acceptable to everyone.

In addition, Bai Xiaowen will not sit back and watch the mayor of hailham fool the past, and it is necessary to stand up and expose them. Their cut-in identity is originally a resident of Hodge Town, not an outsider, so their credibility is still very high, which is also the benefit of cut-in identity.

With a forceps like hand, ahan took the mayor's wrist, slowly and resolutely moved his hand away and said word by word: "I won't do this. The people have the right to know the truth. You can tell the reason why you were bewitched and ask the people for forgiveness! Then, give up your noble status to offset your capital crime!"

This is the advantage of the evil feudal system. Noble crimes are completely different from civilian crimes. Small crimes can be redeemed with money. Even major crimes such as serial kidnapping can also be redeemed by depriving the noble status. However, for the noble, it is no different from killing him.

The mayor of Harlem slumped to the ground and murmured, "no, you can't... The David family can't fall into my hands, Ginny, Ginny!"

Ginny, with tears on her face, hugged the mayor of helham: "father, this is your best choice. In order not to suffer from conscience, it is acceptable to give up her noble status."

Next, the team of the victims' families came to the dock. Yahan sent his militia to tell the residents the whole story of the missing persons case. There were angry people and stunned people, but most people expressed their happiness that their kidnapped families were not in danger, which is a good thing.

Yahan didn't take credit for solving the case and wrote down all the credit to Bai Xiaowen's "brothers and sisters".

Bai Xiaowen looked at the scene in silence and suddenly said to Li Shuyi, "let's go. In the spiritual world, I'm not used to being surrounded by so many people. Thank you."

When the residents followed Yahan's instructions to thank his two brothers and sisters for their courageous deeds, they couldn't find them. Yahan couldn't find them everywhere, and his face was very complicated. Now he really regarded Bai Xiaowen's "brothers and sisters" as honest people who didn't seek fame and wealth but justice, and was ashamed of his hesitation.

"Main task: the truth in the fog has been completed. Do you want to submit it?"

Submit

"You completed the main task in three days. You got a special item: the invitation to the abyss party."

"In the next 7 days, 15 hours, 23 minutes and 05 seconds, you can explore freely and leave the spirit world at any time, and the power points, equipment and props you have obtained in the Kuroshio level world will not disappear."

"Abyss party... Invitation?"

Bai Xiaowen first thought of the poisonous milk powder game in the ad era and the voice of a blonde:

O man of trial, I hope you will drive away evil with perseverance like this cross!

In another time and space, Bai Xiaowen became addicted to poisonous milk powder and became thinner and thinner. The reason why he finally got out of the pit was... He had no money to protect Arad. Well, that's about it. The past can't be recalled.

After a half second, Bai Xiaowen looked at the instructions of the invitation to the abyss party.

[abyss party invitation: an invitation with mysterious power, which can only be used in the world of the Kuroshio level. Using this item will trigger a new mainline task. The stay time brought by the new mainline task does not conflict with the stay time brought by your first mainline task.]

[warning: the mysterious power on this invitation is disappearing rapidly. Please choose whether to use it as soon as possible.]

[warning: the difficulty of the triggered task may not match your awakener level.]

On a slightly old sheepskin scroll, there is a line written in ancient Latin:

"He who stares at the abyss, the abyss stares at you."

At the end of the sheepskin roll, a spark ignites and then diffuses at a speed visible to the naked eye. Judging from the speed of the spread of Mars, the invitation will completely burn itself within a minute, which is probably the first warning: "the mysterious power of the invitation is dissipating rapidly".

The two looked at each other.

Li Shuyi responded quickly and said decisively, "you make a decision and don't have a burden."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded: "I choose... To use!"

Bai Xiaowen has inquired about the rules of the spirit world. The residence time of the spirit plane brought by the second main task and the previous main task are independent and do not conflict with each other. In other words, after Bai Xiaowen takes over the second main task, the task duration obtained will not affect the remaining 7 days of free exploration time of the first main task.

If Bai Xiaowen accepts the second mainline task and completes it on the eighth day in advance after obtaining the 10 day completion deadline, the new two-day free exploration time will be superimposed with the free exploration time of the first mainline task, and finally get more than nine days of free exploration time.

If Bai Xiaowen fails to complete the second mainline task when the deadline comes, his newly obtained benefits such as power points, equipment and props will be invalid in these ten days, but the benefits of the first mainline task and the subsequent free exploration time of more than seven days still exist and will not suffer.
