After a while, Chen Xing and others escorted Quick to the mayor's small castle. After waiting outside for a while, Xiao Wu brought everyone into the study.
The mayor was playing the violin by the window, and the tune was harsh and unpleasant. After staying up for more than ten minutes, the mayor finally ended his performance with "Ah, this is the sea."
Afterwards, Chen Xing told the mayor exactly what happened. The latter listened carefully, his face getting darker and darker, which gave Chen Xing a bad feeling.
"Is he a citizen?" After listening to Chen Xing's account, the mayor glanced at Quick and asked.
Chen Xing was unclear about the situation and was about to ask Kuik, but the other party said, "I voluntarily removed my black watch."
"If you don't have a black watch, you are a refugee. Drag him out and chop him up." The mayor waved his hand and ordered.
Xiao Wu immediately led the guards, pressing on Kuik's shoulders one on the left and the other on the right, and walked outside.
Chen Xing was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that the mayor would kill him as soon as he asked, without even the slightest intention of discussing. Seeing that Quick was about to be executed, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Mayor Mayor, do you think about this matter..."
"You don't need to say it. Killing requires a life, not to mention he is just a refugee!" The mayor interrupted him and said in a deep voice, with a very firm attitude.
Chen Xing did not dare to persuade him any more, so he stepped aside and quickly thought of countermeasures.
Unintentionally, he changed history again. Originally, Quick was executed by the Malan royal family in dr2621, nine years later. But now, due to his intervention, he died early.
It is not difficult to infer that in the previous life, the simple-minded Wang Bo could not solve the case, and Quick ran away after killing the people. In this life, Chen Xing replaced Wang Bo and became the captain of the third team, successfully capturing Quick.
As a result, the legendary wilderness lone ranger, the red wolf Quick, died in Orchid Town.
Such a result was unacceptable to him. He originally thought that the mayor would banish Quik to the Black Death Continent, which was severely irradiated, in accordance with the laws of the Principality. Unexpectedly, the latter had given up his citizenship.
He must not let Quick die here, especially in his own hands. Killing such a person would make him sleepless.
But how can we convince the mayor to pardon Quick?
First, he had to analyze the root cause of the mayor's anger.
Through this period of contact, he felt that although the mayor, Shad Sinclair, was a little crazy, he had a good heart and would not kill easily. On the other hand, the mayor values profits and will kill anyone who dares to touch his cake.
"Sinclair Mining" is named after the town mayor's surname, so it must be his industry. Quick killed the captain of the mining team, which naturally angered the mayor.
Secondly, what benefits can Quick bring to the mayor?
Loyal, brave, kind?
Clearly, among opponents and vested interests in mainstream society, these virtues are meaningless and worse.
Quick sympathized with the refugees and voluntarily gave up his citizenship, while the mayor was a nobleman and a supporter of the existing regime. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.
etc……
Refugees?
An idea flashed in Chen Xing's mind and he thought of a countermeasure. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mayor, our gathering place will be built soon."
"Very good." Upon hearing the news, the mayor showed a happy expression.
"But..." Chen Xing hesitated.
"But what?" asked the mayor.
"Although the gathering place has been built, there are less than three months left before winter, and we have no time to find suitable refugee tribes to move in. But by next spring, the refugees will have no pressure to survive and will definitely not be willing to move, so we will have to postpone it. It’s autumn.” Chen Xing sighed.
"Well..." The mayor frowned, lost in thought. As Chen Xing said, if you miss this year, you will have to wait for more than half a year.
"Lord Mayor, I have an idea that can perfectly solve this matter, but I don't know whether I should say it or not..." Chen Xing said hesitantly.
"It's okay, just tell me." the mayor said cheerfully.
"That Kuike is said to have contacts with many refugee tribes, and the relationship is very close..." Chen Xing hinted.
"Quick, which Quik?" The mayor seemed a little confused.
"It's the one you asked the guards to drag out just now." Chen Xing said cautiously.
"Oh..." The mayor raised his head thoughtfully, then came to his senses, rushed out of the study, and shouted outside, "Xiao Wu, come back here!"
Not long after, Xiao Wu and a few guards pressed Quik back to the study.
"What are you doing!" The mayor glared at Xiao Wu and cursed, "Don't you see it? This man is obviously innocent. His face is covered with scars, how easy is it!"
"Yes, yes, the mayor is right." Xiao Wu echoed, and several guards behind him also looked embarrassed.
"I knew he was a good man at first sight, so I didn't let him go immediately." The mayor sternly faced the guards, then took Quirk's hand and said, "Come, let's have a drink, and then I'll take you to see The sea..." While speaking, he looked out the window, "Do you know the sea, it is turbulent and magnificent..."
So Quick survived. Of course, like Chen Xing, he could not help but go to the small pond behind the small castle to watch the sea and listen to the mayor brag about the legendary stories of the past.
The mayor said that his true identity was actually a captain. Although the mayor spoke mysteriously, Chen Xing and Kui Ke also showed expressions of deep understanding. But actually, they don't think it's a secret. How big of a difference can there be between a mayor and a captain?
The mayor also said that he had a very large ship, a hundred times larger than a 10,000-ton ship, and it was very majestic when driven. Chen Xing couldn't help but think of the scene of a hundred thousand-ton ships sailing in the sea, which had no sense of reality. Such a big ship is not scientific at all. However, he still showed an expression of deep understanding. Who wants the other party to be his boss? There is no way around it.
After struggling all night, Chen Xing and others returned to the underground water station tiredly. But Quick seemed to be very energetic. After a night of drinking and listening to stories, he still had the energy to visit the construction of the stronghold with Aaron.
Within a few days, Quick was gone. He needs to go into the depths of the wilderness and contact the refugee tribes who are willing to migrate. As for his character, there is no need to doubt the Wilderness Lone Ranger.
"Why are you so nice to him?" After Kuike left, Ye Yang Bailiu asked Chen Xing a little strangely. In her impression, Chen Xing was the kind of bad guy who didn't get up early for no benefit. How could he save an unrelated person for no reason.
"Probably..." Chen Xing thought for a while and said uncertainly, "It must be fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang Bailiu trembled all over, as if he had been caught in the cold.
"What's wrong, classmate Ye Yang, you seem to have some misunderstandings about me." Chen Xing grinned and said with a smile.
"No, I'm just a little curious. Mr. Quick has completely different views from yours, but you helped him and were willing to pay some price for it." Ye Yang Bailiu looked into Chen Xing's eyes and asked seriously, " Can you tell me why?"
"Actually..." Chen Xing put away his smile and said, "I don't quite understand either."
"But I know that some things in this world are right and some things are wrong..." He said slowly, "But sometimes, in order to survive, we have to make a choice, even if we know it is wrong. "
He paused and continued, "That's because the environment we live in doesn't allow us to choose."
"However, we cannot regard mistakes as right just because of this."
"If it's just a little effort or a small price, I don't mind helping, for the sake of the voice deep within us."
"You said..." He nodded slightly and asked, "Really?"
Ye Yang Bailiu didn't answer, just lowered his head and meditated quietly. After a long time, she raised her head and stared at the man in front of her. There seemed to be something more in those watery eyes. It's unclear, the way is unclear.
