The beginning of the king guards the Great Wall

Chapter 256 The Charlotte Family and the Sunset Sea Crisis

Haidu city lord's office.

Jiang Ming lay on the castellan's chair, crossing his legs comfortably.

The last time he came here, it was Milady who sat on the seat of the castellan.

In just one day, the master here is himself.

Can not help but sigh, the world is impermanent. . .But very cool.

"City Lord, I think Haidu's current power system is not reasonable. We should learn from Datang's imperial examination system so that ordinary people have the opportunity to be promoted to the power center." Marco Polo suggested.

Jiang Ming: "It makes sense, sure."

"City Master, some residents have asked, since the aristocratic system has been abolished, can they also buy high-level residences in Haidu?" Luna asked holding a pamphlet of folk voices.

Jiang Ming: "Of course, I have to do three things in the sea, fair, fair, or fucking fair!"

Seeing that the suggestions of the two colleagues were adopted, Kuang Tie also excitedly said: "City Master, I think the territory of Haidu is still too small, why don't we expand outward and grab the neighbors' territories!"

Jiang Ming: "Get lost!"

Having been a leisurely emperor in Haidu for a few days, the adventurous gene in Jiang Ming's heart began to stir again.

On this day, he overheard that Marco Polo and Finch were discussing the reincarnation of Athena, and he immediately became interested.

"There is such an interesting god, has the reincarnation of Athena appeared?" Jiang Ming asked.

"No, according to the parchment records, Athena has not been reincarnated for hundreds of years."

Finch shook his head, regretfully saying: "It also recorded the method of summoning the spirit of Athena, but unfortunately, before I could remember it, Marco Polo's father tore up the parchment."

"In this case..."

Jiang Ming rubbed his chin in silence for a moment, then suddenly said: "Then it's decided, let's go find Athena!"

"Master Finch, where can I find Athena?"

This question stopped Finch.

The old man had 1 complaints in his heart: If I knew where to find Athena, wouldn't I have done it long ago.

He thought for a while, and said seriously: "Reporting to the city lord, according to the secret investigation of the old man for more than ten years, the places where Athena's reincarnation appeared are all around the Sunset Temple."

Jiang Ming heard about the Sunset Temple. It was the first piece of land that the ancestors of Western humans set foot on. It once spread the belief of the old gods, and now it has become a loose alliance of many towns and villages.

It is said that many descendants of the protoss served in the Sunset Temple.

Liu Zhe, a descendant of the Shadow God who was beaten up by Jiang Ming in Chang'an, was a priest of the Sunset Temple.

Because of helping Ming Shiyin to rebel, this descendant of the protoss who called the wind and rain in the sunset sea is still facing the wall in the dark prison in Chang'an, thinking about his mistakes.

. . .

In a certain city-state not far from the Sunset Temple, Charlotte stared at the blood-red sky, with a look of worry on his heroic face.

The Charlotte family is an ancient family that has been passed down for a long time. Their ancestors participated in the great war thousands of years ago.

After the gods defeated the demons, they sealed a terrifying existence that could not be completely killed under this land, and the Charlotte family guarded the sealing formation for generations.

But now, after 1000 years of corrosion, the sealing formation is about to fail.

The blood-red sky is a sign of impending disaster.

"Miss, it's getting dark, go into the house and rest."

The elderly servant came over with a cane and said softly.

Charlotte stared fixedly at the smear of blood in the distance, and said, "Grandpa Allen, I have an ominous premonition that something is about to come out."

The old servant sighed and said, "The Protoss has disappeared for 1000 years, and the sealing formation will fail sooner or later. Humans can't deal with that thing, and the entire Sunset Sea area will perish. Let's move out of here as soon as possible."

"The crisis that is enough to destroy the entire Sunset Sea, can we only escape..."

Charlotte's eyes suddenly became sad: "But we are gone, what about those ordinary people, stay here and wait to die."

The old servant was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "Miss, we have been here for 1000 years, and we have exhausted our benevolence. We cannot stop that thing."

That night, Charlotte convened the elders of the family to hold an important meeting.

Charlotte told everyone what she had observed, and then said seriously: "This is the situation. I estimate that the sealing formation will last for another year or a half at most. What do you elders think we should do?"

A thin middle-aged man was the first to speak: "Then there is no need to ask, of course he ran away. Our Charlotte family has been guarding silently for thousands of years. Does anyone know our dedication?"

"No, they didn't even say thank you, and they didn't even hand in any tribute!"

"It's no good at all, why should we stay here and die with them?"

It was the third and fifth elders of the Charlotte family who spoke, a man who was only interested in profit.

As early as a few years ago, when there was no problem with the seal, the fifth elder proposed to give up the mission of guarding the seal formation.

The reason is that for this thousand-year promise, the Charlotte family is obviously one of the most powerful families in the Sunset Sea area, but they can only stay in a remote mountain valley and live an isolated life, which is too wronged.

There are many others like Fifth Elder.

They repeatedly proposed to leave, but they were all dismissed by the patriarch, Charlotte's father.

The patriarch's response was only one sentence: guarding the seal from generation to generation, this is the promise of our Charlotte ancestors, do you want to make the ancestors bear the reputation of treachery?
After hearing what the fifth elder said, the patriarch subconsciously wanted to refute with the original words.

However, when the words came to his lips, he had to swallow them back.

Now that the seal is about to dissipate, staying here is likely to lead to the end of the genocide.

Genocide and dishonesty are much more serious than the former.

"Agree, our Charlotte family has spent 1000 years guarding this land, completely worthy of those stupid people who don't know anything."

"I also agree to move away. It's not that we broke our oath, but that even if we stay, we won't be able to change the ending. That's something our family can't handle."

The proposal of the fifth elder was affirmed by most people, but there were also very few people who made distinctive voices.

"We can't leave. We are the only family that knows the sealing formation. If we leave like this, the Sunset Sea area will really be over."

"That's right, we can't leave. Charlotte said that the sealing formation can last for half a year. In this short period of time, we can summon all warriors above diamonds in the West, and maybe we can hold it!"

"Even if you want to leave, you should leave after a failed attempt, flee without fighting, and lose the face of your ancestors!"

The main station and the main fleeing, no one can convince the other, everyone's eyes are on the patriarch at the same time.

The patriarch did not express his opinion, but looked at his daughter.

This daughter is more decisive and courageous than a man, and she is brave and resourceful. He has decided to pass on the position of patriarch to Charlotte.

Charlotte raised her head, facing everyone's burning eyes.

She looked solemnly, thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go, we will live and die with Sunset Sea!"
