Elemental Light Mage
Chapter 147 Sacrifice
"Why don't we deal with the Sea Whale Squid Demon with you?" Kabek looked slightly embarrassed, "Probably because..."
"Because of what?" Xi Yeming was a little curious about the rest of Kabek's unfinished sentence.
In the end, Kabek gave this answer: "I want to focus on protecting the Sharks. Most of them are not powerful people, and they will inevitably be affected by the battle between the Sea Whale and Squid Demon."
"That's fine," Xi Yeming has no objection to Kabek's behavior. After all, the lives of the Sharks are also lives. "Then I will go and discuss with the Sharks about leaving Sea Soul Town temporarily."
After that, Xi Yeming walked back the way he came.
Kabek looked at Xi Yeming's back, and there was a slight miasma in the seam on his chest, "Humph, the reason why I don't want to fight the sea whale squid demon is probably because I want to live a little longer, right?"
Xi Yeming ran back to the center of Haihun Town. He began to look around for the mayor. After wandering for a long time, he finally found the mayor in front of an old house.
"No, you can't say anything, unless you step over my old bones!"
Several old people gathered in front of the old house. They had a very fierce attitude in front of the mayor, but their eyes contained stubbornness and unyielding despite their age.
"Oh Grandpa She, you and your grandparents should just listen to me as the mayor. If something happens, Haihun Town cannot lose anyone."
"Hmph, I'm already an old man, so why should I be afraid of natural or man-made disasters? You young people can just run away. The history of our association and this town has been buried in the ground."
The old man's attitude was very firm, and the mayor's expression was equally worried.
Seeing this, Xi Yeming stepped forward to rescue the mayor: "Mayor, what happened?"
When the mayor saw Xi Yeming, he grabbed his hand as if he were seeing a savior and said, "Lord Shengyi, you are here. Please help me persuade these old people."
When the old people heard that the young man who appeared inexplicably in front of them was called Holy Will, they couldn't help but put away their nervous expressions and were surprised by the young man in front of them.
"What's wrong, grandparents, is there anything more important than the mayor's order?"
At the same time, the mayor explained: "I originally wanted everyone in the town to temporarily retreat to a location slightly farther away from the sea, but no one listened. They wanted to hold the ceremony before they could evacuate."
This decision was wise. After all, the tsunami might hit again sometime, and the devil in the mouth of that crazy man meant that there were too many uncertainties at the seaside, and it was not safe at all.
Xi Yeming nodded and understood the mayor's approach.
At this time, the leader, Grandpa She, spoke: "Young Shengyi, you don't know something. For us, the most important thing in the town is the ceremony held once every ten years. If Haihun Town is destroyed after we evacuate, Wait until the next ten years, no one knows how much of our old bones will be left by then!"
Another old man interjected: "Our rituals have a history of hundreds of years. How can we just give up?"
The mayor was anxious. He clapped his hands and stamped his feet and shouted, "But the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the townspeople!"
Xi Yeming instantly understood the reason. The group headed by the mayor definitely chose to focus on protecting life and property, while the old people in the town chose to focus on rituals, which caused a conflict between their ideas.
one two Three……
Xi Yeming tapped his temples and quickly figured out a solution, but he needed to sing blackface.
Xi Yeming said: "This is...Grandpa She, right?"
"Lord Shengyi, this is me." The old man known as Grandpa She agreed.
The other party is even willing to call Xi Yeming "adult" regardless of his age, which shows that Xi Yeming still has weight in the eyes of the other party.
"I think the mayor's concerns are very reasonable. When human lives are at stake, we'd better put our own lives first."
"Do you even think so, Lord Shengyi?" Grandpa She took a deep breath, and his entire upper body seemed to lean back a little, "It seems that my old bones will fight to the end."
Xi Yeming couldn't just watch the old people die, he had to find a way to satisfy both parties.
"Does this ceremony have to be held? But the young people have left, and the rest of you can't hold the ceremony, right?" Xi Yeming narrowed his eyes slightly, and a force of magic was released from his body, blowing everyone back a few steps. , "You are not planning to stop the young people from accompanying you to death, are you?"
The old people were frightened by this magic power. At worst, they were just a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and they couldn't do anything to Xi Yeming.
Grandpa She resisted the air flow stirred up by Xi Yeming and replied: "We definitely have no such idea...!"
"We have deeper feelings for this town than anyone else. Not just the town, but every piece of rubble, every grain of sand, and every citizen here is crucial to us, so... …”
The old man choked up. Judging from the tears in his eyes, their feelings were not false.
Xi Yeming put away his terrifying magic power and said: "Well, to be honest, as long as I exert a little effort, you will be blown to safety by me, but is this really good?"
Xi Yeming wanted the elderly to sincerely go to a safe zone, which would be good for everyone.
"It's not impossible to leave after holding the ceremony."
The mayor's face was livid. He didn't expect Xi Yeming to change his mind at the last moment, "Hey? Are you serious, Lord Shengyi?"
When the old people heard that Xi Yeming suddenly agreed to hold the ceremony, they all looked at each other and wondered what kind of medicine Xi Yeming was selling in the gourd.
Xi Yeming turned around and asked, "Mayor, how long will it take to hold the ceremony?"
The mayor pondered for a moment and replied: "Well, I remember that the fastest it used to be was three days?"
Xi Yeming waved his hands and shouted sternly: "No, it's too long. Just half a day, otherwise we won't hold it."
"What?" Grandpa She was very excited when he heard this. He did not expect that the Ten Wills of Shengyi would play like this, "Wait a minute, Lord Shengyi, for one day!"
Xi Yeming glanced sideways at the old people, his eyes changed from the calm and ease in the past to becoming disdainful and fierce.
"Isn't one day too long?"
"No, no way!" Grandpa She quickly took a few steps closer to Xi Yeming, "Get rid of some unnecessary red tape, and it's almost a day."
Xi Yeming first looked at the mayor. The mayor read the intention from Xi Yeming's eyes and immediately nodded in response.
"Well, we only have one day to hold the ceremony, otherwise don't blame me for throwing you all out without any reason."
