Chapter 1787: Chapter 1787: Erecting a Statue for You
Although these things are not valuable, they have greatly comforted the people of Zone 019. As those passively bearing so guilt, apart from sympathy for the victims and repentance, under the environnt of "everyone is guilty," they are more willing to approach Master Soran. Repenting the past is for a better tomorrow, regardless of right or wrong, everyone’s pursuit is the sa, it’s all about making Zone 019 better, and Master Soran has spent a century of his life invested in the vision for Zone 019, so they should also be oriented towards light.
Since they are oriented towards light, their perception of Xu Huo has changed; more people think he is soone like Master Soran, a spiritual successor of Master Soran, thus expressing great favor towards him. The governnt offering free services, they too can offer services for free, not only free but also writing the player nickna "Passerby A" into the chronicles of Zone 019.
They call this event "Centennial Rebirth," and "Passerby A," as the crucial revealer, will have a statue erected outside the collectively constructed "Historical Hero" cetery to be open to the entire district in the future.
Indeed, although the internal handling of the district governnt has not ended, the storm on the Collection of Information Terminal has not stopped, the populace of Zone 019 has already begun collecting statue masters and statue designs.
In this matter, the mining group underwent a shake-up, the district governnt lost face, and had to express support. However, the Son of Soran publicly donated the "Ember Girl" to the district governnt, saving a bit of face for them, while the district governnt hung the painting in the main hall of the governnt building as a warning for self-reflection. Since "Ember Girl" is Xia Xi Duolaiti, it undoubtedly nails the Dolaiti Family to the mining disaster event, after weighing and tugging from all sides, this family completely withdrew from the political core.
Xu Huo also gained a little fa Beneath the Dinsion, after all, SSS clearance and single-handedly challenging the district governnt are things ordinary players dare not imagine, of course, more people want to study his clearance principles, since it’s hard enough for players to survive, Xu Huo without a certain high level rating could not possibly take such a big risk.
Xu Huo’s account soon received many invitations for clearance and challenge.
Xu Huo didn’t care much, he comfortably recuperated at Rose Castle. He told the outside world he was infected by a germ in an outer district and couldn’t attend banquets or accept visits, as for so important charity galas, he would support them through online channels.
That afternoon, Angel led by Mr. Dong ascended to the third floor.
"Sothing the matter?" Xu Huo was in the study when he t her, holding a book on potion studies.
Angel hesitated a bit before speaking, "Those guests living in the castle, I feel there’s sothing off with them. Sotis I see them during breaks asking Xiao Yuan and Xiao Qi about the castle, glancing around in places avoiding people..."
Xu Huo nodded slightly, "What do you think they are?"
"I’m not sure," Angel paused before gathering courage to say, "But I heard that so old castles, without many heirs and with little interaction with the outside world, are sotis occupied by opportunists."
"These people often move in earlier, beco acquainted with the castle’s servants, during guest visits pretend to be relatives or heirs of the castle owner, and when the ti is right find ways to kill the owner and falsify inheritance proof, taking the castle openly."
"In castles with fewer personnel, if they seldom interact with outsiders, what happened inside the castle is hard for the outside world to know. They can also disguise their appearance, pretending the owner ’died from illness,’ or slowly replace servants, after a period they beco the genuine owner."
Xu Huo was sowhat surprised, that in technologically advanced Zone 011 such low-grade murder and house invasion thods still occur, but considering there are many players without a fixed residence, it’s not strange they would think of such convenient and fast ways to settle down.
"I’ve noted it," he said, "Thanks for informing , I will be paid attention to this matter, just make sure to continue your classes with Xiao Yuan as scheduled."
Angel breathed a sigh of relief, left the castle with gifts.
"Three guests have again requested to see you." Mr. Dong said.
"Make a few more dishes in the evening, I’ll co downstairs for dinner." Xu Huo also felt it was ti to send them away.
The sky had not yet darkened, yet all the lights inside and outside Rose Castle were already lit up, unlike the intentionally created little horror atmosphere during the instance period. After the repairs, Xu Huo specifically asked Mr. Dong to add more lights, to make the castle look brighter.
Usually, when Xu Huo is not ho, the Girl in the painting and the others’ activities are primarily in the garden, dining room, and bedroom, the castle not fully lit at night. With Xu Huo’s return, Mr. Dong took people to open and clean each room, with the lights naturally all turned on, to show the master of this place has returned.
Usually, the Girl in the painting and others don’t mind the amount of light, but they also quite enjoy the atmosphere after Xu Huo’s return. Before dinner, they even help pick so flowers for the table.
The three people who arrived at Rose Castle are not draft painters at all but were three disguised players. Mr. Dong and the Girl in the painting are mute and not fond of communication, and Dr. Deng and ng Cun seldom appear. Their main target is the two children, but both children had difficult lives previously, irrespective of who they are, surely they wouldn’t divulge the inner workings of the castle.
As ti dragged on, the three had no choice but to again request Mr. Dong to see Xu Huo.
"After all, the person has been ill for so long, must see him at least once." The three, with painting tools, restlessly stayed in the garden, one of them, a man with black-rimd glasses, hastily painted a few strokes on the canvas, his eyes then gazed toward the third-floor terrace.
The other two exchanged a glance, the shorter one said, "He’s been upstairs for so many days, I almost thought he was going to die from illness."
Glasses man signaled him not to speak rashly, "The owner of the castle is also a player, be careful."
"Used the silencing prop, who can hear..." The third tall man was just speaking when suddenly saw Tan Qi erge from among the flower trees, he said with a dark expression, "What are you doing squatting here?"
"I’m looking for Xiao Yuan, have you seen her?" Tan Qi asked.
Glasses man let out an "Ah," pointed towards the direction of the labyrinth, "I saw her going that way earlier, said she was going to pick flowers or sothing."
Tan Qi stood in place staring at them for two seconds before slowly heading towards the labyrinth garden, midway being called away by Mr. Dong.
The shorter one was slightly disappointed, "That kid is sinister, who knows what he’s thinking. After taking care of the players inside, throw him out too."
"Kill the young and the old, but the woman must be kept." The tall one laughed sleazily, "That woman is fair and tender with an attitude, it’ll surely be exciting!"
"Be careful, once the job is done, you can do whatever you want." Glasses man put down the paintbrush, stretched his arms, smiled as he watched the direction of the main hall of the castle, "The food slls so good, it’s ti to go back."
