Chapter 149 Not the first time to open
"Do you know we are going to pay homage to the King of the Dead?" Catherine said in surprise: "We have never mentioned it. I thought only the village chiefs and town mayors everywhere knew it, but I didn't expect that the leaders also knew it."
"Haha, you don't understand. Wang rarely issues orders. Unexpectedly, this time he suddenly announced that he wanted to meet the host's guests in advance. For us, Wang's rare issuance of such specific orders is a very sensational thing. Perhaps most people in the whole city know about it, but not just us leaders." Xila smiled and shook her head, "But don't worry, it's too late tonight. When Wang sleeps, even the city clock cannot wake him up. So just let him continue to sleep. Anyway, you need to rest from afar. Why not stay here for a night and see Wang when the moon comes out tomorrow."
"It's just a matter of listening to us tell stories to satisfy your curiosity." After only a few minutes, three stone wine glasses were already placed in front of Panis. He was holding his chin and said lazily: "I think this is the most attractive thing."
"Okay, I can't hide it from you, the guest." Xila looked like she was middle-aged, but her movements were like a little girl. She tilted her head and covered her side face, showing a shy smile, and said embarrassedly: "There is no way. Although she has been sleeping in death for so many years and has lost most of her memory, her longing for her hometown has not decreased with the decline of memory. On the contrary, the more she can't remember, the more she wants to learn about her hometown again. Even if she can't see her hometown with her own eyes, even if she meets the people in her hometown and listens to others telling her hometown stories, it is also a comfort for us souls who have no home."
"Well, sometimes, can a vague impression induce expectations in your heart? This theory does make sense." Panis suddenly shook his head vigorously, as if he was about to throw out the thoughts in his brain, and picked up the fourth wine glass to Saen and Sila: "Let's exchange it, just as we are also curious about your world. So, how about using the story of our world to exchange for your story, don't you think this is an attractive deal?"
"Haha, the guests are so cunning. This time you come to the capital, there are probably other tasks besides going to the host's appointment." Sila followed Panis's appearance, leaned against the table and held her chin with one hand, and looked at the faces of several creatures with interest, saying, "Let me guess, you have at least one task, which is to try to understand the situation of this world, right?"
"Do you still have to guess? This is for granted." Catherine took the topic and changed into a reserved smile and said, "If you suddenly open a door in your home for no reason and there are many aliens running into the construction stuff from Gu Zi, will you go to the other side of the door with a skeptical attitude and check the situation? I think that as long as people with normal thinking will do this. So it seems that it is not surprising that we need to try our best to understand the situation in this world."
"Is that true?" Qianla's body was still hazy and her expression remained unchanged: "But, why did I hear that the gate of my hometown was not the first time it was opened? It seems that a long time ago, before everyone recovered, the gate of my hometown was opened, right?"
"I don't deny that the door to my hometown was indeed opened once more than a hundred years ago, but this does not seem to be inconsistent with the need to understand the situation. Moreover, a hundred years have passed, and too many things have changed. If you don't confirm it, it will be difficult to choose your own position. There is nothing unreasonable. Haven't you confirmed our attitude just now?" Catherine picked up an unknown drink handed to her by Panis. She could smell the faint sour smell from the drink when she put it in front of her face. This sour smell was not annoying.
, on the contrary, it promotes appetite to a certain extent, making people want to drink all the wine in the glass in one sip just by smelling it. However, Catherine is not as uncontrollable as Pennis. She just took a sip and said with a smile: "Huh, this wine tastes very good, I just don't know if ordinary creatures can drink more, oh, that's great. If you have the chance, I really want to take it out for everyone to taste it. By the way, the news that the Gate of Hometown once opened once, you won't know from those people who contacted you from the outside world."
"Of course not." Sila shook her head and said, "We don't trust them, and most of the undead don't."
"Why?" Catherine asked in confusion: "Actually, shouldn't they stand on the same side as you? Why don't you trust them?"
"However, we are not on the same side." Xila just denied Catherine's thoughts lightly, but did not explain anything in detail. She just smiled and skipped the topic: "As for trust, the king did not trust them from the beginning. Although the king never cared about the matter, we absolutely trust the king's judgment on major matters. So since the king said this, it means that they are indeed untrustworthy."
"I understand." Catherine narrowed her eyes thoughtfully and nodded slightly, "That means you have other channels to know about the outside world, but it is also conceivable that such a large-scale city building operation would act blindly without any practical information support, and it is unlikely to think about it, otherwise it would be too reckless."
"The city building operation was actually initiated by the leaders of all races in the capital. On the one hand, too many people want to go back to their hometown to see it. On the other hand, as you said, since the door of the hometown is opened, how could it be impossible to go to the other side of the door to check the attitudes of the neighbors." To Catherine's surprise, Sila actually gave the answer she had never thought of at all. The female ghost leader said without any concealment: "Saen and other skeleton leaders gathered the most elite group of skeletons in various villages and towns, and the six leaders of the skeleton tribe were unified to form this city building force. In fact, when they set out, they were ready to go to war at any time."
"However, the neighbors' attitude does not seem optimistic." Catherine said without objection: "The City Fortress should have sent back the news."
"Indeed, the result is not optimistic. Both sides have reached the brink of war." Xila sighed and said, "But there is not no hope. At least your troops are still taking a surveillance and wait-and-see attitude and have not launched an attack directly."
