The Witcher: Rise of the Dead

Chapter 188 The Story
"Crash..."

It rained continuously.

After eating a hearty lunch, Thanos came to the window, looking at the heavy rain outside, worried.

I don't know when this heavy rain will stop.

At this time, some crops that are not resistant to water may have been soaked.

Not only crops, but even people are uncomfortable in the face of heavy rain.

He saw a family in the distance whose roof had collapsed due to heavy rain.

So the family could only take what they could take away, and then ran to the neighbor next door in embarrassment to live temporarily.

Although he couldn't see it in other places, he also knew that the impact of the heavy rain was more than that.

There must have been a lot of water in some places, and the water level of the Lami River has risen and the roads have been flooded.

However, because the time of rain is still short after all, there has not been any flooding of houses.

But if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be a big flood soon.

Thinking of this, Thanos felt a burst of urgency.

Although these things have not happened yet, they should be prevented before they happen.

"What are you thinking?"

Mary's voice came from behind.

At some point, she changed into a bright red sleeveless dress, red high heels, and black stockings, and walked over slowly.

The stockings that Thanos gave her had long since been destroyed along with Mek City.

She asked the people below to make this set according to her own memory.

But I don't know why, no matter what the people below do, the feel is not as good as what Thanos gave.

Thanos didn't look back, but looked outside lightly.

"I don't know when the rain will stop."

Mary also came to the window at this time, noticed the house that was washed away by the rain outside, and said calmly: "You won't worry about these civilians, right? Don't worry, they won't die forever."

Speaking of this, her eyes were cold.

"Human beings are like cockroaches in the gutter. No matter how difficult the environment is, they can find a way to survive. As long as it is not the intervention of extraordinary power, we will not intervene."

Although she usually behaves fairly approachable in front of Thanos, but she was born in the wizarding world, and she never classifies ordinary humans into one category in her bones.

And this is the mentality of most wizards.

Although the Supreme Council of Wizards does not allow wizards to kill ordinary people at will, it has never said anything like equality.

Thanos shook his head and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Mary just stayed beside the other party quietly.

In fact, during this period of time, she didn't think about how to enjoy it every day.

There have always been doubts about the fall of Meck City.

Just like her uncle explained before his death, there are too many doubts about the fall of Mek City, and there is a huge conspiracy in the middle.

But no matter how she investigates, the final doubt points to a result.

It is impossible for someone to bribe the city defense army and the Griffon cavalry, and arrange this series of actions without Mance knowing.

After all, both the city defense army and the Griffin Cavalry are guarded by battle wizards trained by the Black Leaf Tower. These battle wizards are loyal to the Black Leaf Tower and cannot rebel.

This can be seen from the fact that there is not a single battle wizard from the Black Leaf Tower among those who surrendered.

In addition, there is a complete set of defensive formations and early warning systems.

No matter how she reasoned, it was impossible to completely paralyze all systems in an instant like the giant snake tower, and to win over all ordinary soldiers.

Unless it's Mance himself who ignores these anomalies, or even pushes them.

But this conjecture made her feel a chill.

It's a chill in my heart.

Like frost in June.

But when she saw Thanos today, for some reason, she felt a lot more at ease.

After a while, Thanos suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about how you can defend against the natives and the giant snake tower if most of the humans under your command are killed or injured?"

Hearing this, Mary came back to her senses.

"Ugh"

Sighing slightly, she shook her head and said, "Of course I know this, but the intervention of us wizards will make human beings dependent.

In the future, there will be some natural and man-made disasters, so we are expected to let us take action, and then how to meditate, experiment and learn new knowledge.

What's more, when dependence becomes a habit, if one day we disappear, they will really go extinct. "

Hearing this, Thanos just smiled coldly in his heart.

What a wizard detached from reality.

Enjoying the resources and treatment brought by the oppression of civilians, but only want to enjoy and don't want to pay.

Do all these wizarding families think so?

Seeing that Thanos seemed to be disapproving, Mary shook her head again, and continued: "There used to be a wizard named Bassana, just like you, who would help her subjects when they saw problems.

For example, in dry weather, it will attract rain, and in case of heavy rain, it will disperse the dark clouds. If bandits appear, they will also be punished.

Under her rule, all commoners are happy and happy.

But after a long time, people have formed a dependence, thinking that this is what wizards should do.

One day, Bassana didn't pay attention to the outside because she studied for too long, and a heavy snowfrozen killed several civilians.

So the civilians got angry, and gathered together to ask Bassana to give an explanation, ask her to apologize, and compensate people. "

Having said that, Mary showed a mocking smile.

And Thanos didn't need to listen to the follow-up, he knew what the result was.

It was nothing more than the story of the farmer and the snake, which he had long heard.

Mary continued: "Bassana was very angry, so she cast the Shadow Canopy that she had been researching, turning all the civilians into ghosts, greatly increasing her combat power.

At the same time, because of her success in the research of the Shadow Sky, she finally became a second-level wizard and was affirmed by the Supreme Wizarding Conference. "

Hearing this, Thanos suddenly felt strange.

"this story."

Speaking of this, he suddenly didn't know how to describe it well, so he continued: "Why does it feel wrong?"

Mary nodded and said, "That's right, many wizards feel that something is wrong.

Some people said that Bassana intentionally cultivated the habit of civilians in order to wait for her own research to be successful, and then let the civilians attack her, so that she could kill civilians openly without being punished by the Supreme Council of Wizards.

Some people also say that all of this is Basana's conspiracy, in fact, it is to use human beings to study the Shadow Sky.

But no one could deny that she cast the Sky of Shadows out of self-defense, so the High Council of Wizards didn't say anything. "

Thanos suddenly felt that the wizard really deserved to be a wizard.

Even if there is pressure from the Supreme Council of Wizards, they can still find various ways to create favorable conditions for themselves.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, I'm not this kind of person. Although I practice the Necromantic System, the transformation of the Necromancer is voluntary.

And my undead army is enough with the corpses of the natives. "

He always thought that Mary was persuading him to see the essence of wizards and mortals, but it turned out that he was persuading him not to use humans as experiments and undead.

I didn't expect her to have a kind heart.

Although the heart is not much.
