Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3366: The Next City Lord Celia

雾岚

A bakery with a clean decoration and the aroma of baking wafting out.

There was a line at the door that stretched to the end of the street. Men and women, both ordinary and fancy, were waiting to buy food.

Although the scene was relatively orderly and people were queuing, you could see people raising their wrists from time to time, glancing at their Misty Mechanical Technology watches, with an expression of impatience on their faces, or venting their complaints by stamping their feet and sighing.

The crystal barrier still shines brightly, firmly protecting Wu Lan from the evil spirit, like the backbone of a god.

However, it was also covered with large irregular patches of dark red bloodstains, like a wound torn in the sky, giving a strong contrast feeling of precious jewels thrown into a stinking ditch.

The Demon Attack Team and the Blue Eagle frequently fought together, killing numerous enemies, but they were helpless against the demonic energy that surrounded the mist like a dark cloud.

Ordinary people without resistance will be transformed into monsters if they are exposed to demonic energy for a few minutes, which is currently recognized to have no solution.

Lazy dog ​​Youzhen controlled the violent gale to try to blow away the evil spirit, but the effect was not obvious. The Nixingwen seemed to be attached to the crystal barrier.

…………

The female employee Celia hired came back hurriedly from outside, holding a newspaper in her hand, and said, "It is said that the boat tickets to leave Wulan have been sold for hundreds of thousands by the Huitong Public Security Bureau. They announced that they are preparing to leave through a special channel."

After hearing this, Celia nodded without comment. The evil spirit surrounding the fog showed no signs of dissipating. Panic was growing in everyone's hearts. Escaping from the fog had become the most serious problem at the moment.

Reporter Nasha also came. He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked much older. He said solemnly: "Rice, flour, vegetables, meat, tea, coffee beans, almost everything related to life is rising in price, including knives, bows and arrows and other weapons."

Of course, his favorite tobacco is also included.

As a reporter, Nasha naturally has abundant personal connections, but he knows very few powerful people. After the incident, his intuition told him that Miss Celia, who was related to Ye Lin, would be the key to solving Wu Lan's problem.

"Wulan is a city whose resources are entirely dependent on external supplies. If the transportation routes are cut off for even one day, it will be very serious. It's already the third day now, and millions of people need to eat every day." Nasha repeated the information that everyone had already known. The cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth was very red, showing his worry.

What is scary is never the current situation, but the foreseeable future.

The fog was breeding anxiety and panic, and the mice in the dark corners were squeaking.

The rush to buy survival supplies is only the basic behavior at this stage. Without effective and forceful measures, it will soon develop into a situation where my neighbors stockpile food and I stockpile guns, and my neighbors become my granary.

Going further, the fog will turn into a living hell.

"Celia, are you ready?"

Outside the door, a lady with extraordinary and tasteful clothes and her hair tied up walked in. She was very dignified, with sharp eyes that were intimidating without even being angry. She had heavy makeup on her face to cover up the traces of time, and her hair seemed to have been dyed.

He looked to be fifty, maybe sixty.

"Mayor of Weima." Reporter Nasha and the employees immediately stood up, looking a little flustered. The lady in front of them was the mayor of Wulan, a big shot that was rarely seen.

"Aunt Weima." Beibei raised her hand and greeted with a smile. Her top was loose and the sleeves were long, so her hands were still inside the sleeves when she raised her hand.

The city lord Weima is a knowledgeable scholar and is very famous in Wulan City. She is serious, works diligently, and is never smiling. People often say that she is too difficult to approach and has too strong an aura, but in fact she is a very kind person.

For example, Zenas and his men occupied a square in Wulan and converted it into a residential area, which was actually approved by the city lord Weima.

She couldn't solve everyone's problems, so she could only turn a blind eye to some.

  "Beibei." City Lord Weima smiled, then glanced at the others, turned his attention back to Celia, and took the initiative to speak:

"In theory, the best time is to wait for about a week, but I don't want to see Wu Lan really fall into that situation... Everyone should be a decent person, not a beast driven crazy. They need to eat."

"I have the same idea, let's get started." Celia nodded and smiled, knowing that the city lord was a person who valued decency and wanted everyone to maintain decency.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs upstairs, and two women with stunning looks walked down.

One has black hair, a fiery red headdress, an oval face, and eyes with a hint of the wild charm of a female leopard. The other also has long, shiny black hair, a gentler face, and a beautiful ice-blue headdress.

"They are my family, Krach and Pinos." Celia introduced them briefly.

Pinocchio was quite curious about the God Realm, but he also knew that this was not the time to watch, so he got straight to the point and said, "We brought enough food, as well as canned food, long-lasting fruits, etc., which are more than enough to supply Wu Lan for half a month."

Krach looked around but didn't see Ye Lin.

Reporter Nasha's eyelids jumped. He understood the sudden appearance of two beautiful women, after all, they were adventurers.

But does she know how many people Wu Lan has? Millions!

In order to supply the daily necessities of millions of people, a huge organization is needed to barely run the business. It is not something that can be easily accomplished by dozens or hundreds of people.

It involves huge livelihood resources, which cannot be compensated by individual combat power. However, the city lord Weima seemed to be very convinced by their words, his eyebrows relaxed, and he showed a relaxed smile, "I am more grateful for your kindness. I will immediately arrange for people to fully support you."

"It's not enough, we need at least 20,000 people." Nasha frowned and took out a cigarette from his arms.

"We will help too." Another person came in from outside the door, led by none other than Freis of Doom. He had a dice in his hand, which he would throw up and catch every once in a while.

Behind him followed many people in ordinary clothes with sad and tired faces.

…………

In order to deal with the material crisis caused by the fog, the city lord Weima announced that he has reached a cooperative relationship with the adventurer Celia, and will immediately release materials at market prices. Please do not buy high-priced goods, as the materials come from the kindness of adventurers.

Soon, one or more material supply stores opened on the streets of major urban areas, and Beast Fang Judgment and Gear Workshop provided venue support.

When the store opened, residents walked in with suspicion and were surprised to find that the prices of the goods inside were actually a little cheaper than the calm period a week ago.

This immediately caused a buying spree, and everyone was afraid that this was just a temporary benefit. However, something amazing happened: no matter how much supplies were bought, the store was always able to replenish the empty shelves in time.

The crisis of Wu Lan has been alleviated and order is gradually being restored.

The musicians who stayed in Wulan also frequently held free concerts to comfort and encourage everyone with music.

The disaster is only temporary, and the sun will appear in the sky again.

…………

Pinocchio raised his fingertips and rubbed his forehead, then smiled at Celia and said, "Tell me, I always feel that you seem to have done many things for many purposes."

It is not difficult to analyze and find many unreasonable places, such as there are actually better ways to help Wu Lan overcome the crisis.

Tana has taken Ye Lin's Primordial Sword, but has not used it yet. This sword is already comparable to the Creation Ring, the artifact of creation.

Celia has three components of the Ring of Creation, but she has never used them because the Ringbreaker is stubborn and nagging.

Celia was at her ease, smiled slightly, and said, "I learned from the curator and Ergon that Wulan, as the city that sealed the last beam of light, has a special significance. The monster is obsessed with pushing Wulan away, which is the premise of everything."

Therefore, the monster's attack on Wu Lan is predictable and inevitable.

"Then, there are only two ways to defeat Wu Lan: a strong opponent pushing forward, or internal collapse."

The monster's violent instinct tends to be the first one, and it is true. However, Largo was blocked by Tana, and Mahnava and Smila fought in the source core space, and both suffered losses.

The second possible method is to use the Anti-Star Text and demonic energy to trap Wu Lan and cause it to disintegrate from the inside.

Just as Nasha said, there are millions of people in Wulan and they need to eat every day.

The city lord Vima then explained the matter of the keys. Mahnava was proficient in the art of transformation, and coupled with his own extremely powerful strength, it only took him a little time to take away the three keys.

Everything that happened next was within Celia's expectations. A food crisis would break out in the besieged Wulan, and the merchants who controlled the food would take advantage of the chaos to raise prices and make a fortune from the disaster.

In the divine world without laws and regulations, it is not an exaggeration to say that a merchant who is still selling affordable goods at this time is a saint of character.

The power and reserves of these "saints" are not enough to deal with the crisis of Wu Lan.

Celia continued, "That's why I used the entire Arad continent as a backing to prepare a large amount of supplies to send to Wulan and cooperate with the city lord."

Ye Lin told Freis of Doom that the poor would not be able to buy food with crazy price increases when disaster strikes, so you are responsible for gathering them together to help Celia.

If there is work to do, at least you can have enough to eat, which is a kind of work-for-relief.

"But the key point is, why not..." Krach pointed to the sky covered with blood clots. "Celia, if it is not convenient for you to take action, you can call Hiat and the others over."

"This is my real purpose." Celia smiled brightly and confidently, and said, "Through this disaster on the verge of collapse, Lord Wulan and I will gain great honor and glory."

Beibei, Nasha and the others nodded subconsciously. That's right, the generous rescue of the city lord and adventurers formed a sharp contrast with those businessmen who made a fortune from disasters. They all gained great glory.

"After this incident, Lord Weima will be able to implement the laws she has been preparing for a long time. Yes, the laws that belong to Wu Lan alone!"

"As for me." Celia pointed at herself and said with a smile, "I will be the next city lord."
