Chapter 545: Thoughts of Ordinary Citizens
Facing Pine, who had an indifferent attitude, Gordon suddenly became more understanding.
Understand why even though a crisis is imminent, there is no sense of tension in the streets of Minagald City at all before the disaster strikes?
According to the master craftsman, the old mountain dragon "visits" Minagard approximately once every sixty years.
With the efforts of the hunters regardless of casualties, Laoshanlong's first two attacks were successfully repelled. The fear of the last time the city wall was breached has been the memory of people generations ago.
Because of this, except for a very small number of dragon people, the vast majority of the citizens of Minagard have no idea about the "attack of the old mountain dragon".
Look at the tall city walls, look at those cannons and crossbows, we still have so many hunters, what do we have to worry about?
This is what the vast majority of citizens think.
Those who have never faced an ancient dragon in person will never be able to understand the existence that is like a natural disaster.
At the same time, this kind of stable mood is what the guild is more happy to see.
It is the same reason as when President Mustache decided to hide the truth about the attack of the Lingshan Dragon in "The Banquet in the Desert". Ancient dragons are scary, but large-scale riots are even more terrifying.
It will even seriously affect the construction progress of the two villages.
Gordon pressed Hayata's shoulder, who was about to say something, and said seriously to Pine: "Mr. Pine, the monster attacking this time is very dangerous, and we are not absolutely sure to repel it.
If possible, leaving Minagard during this period is indeed the safest option. "
Pine narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean, Minagard City may be attacked?"
“There is a probability.”
“Then I can’t leave even more! I’ll rush down the caravan in a moment and ask them to prepare quickly. We’ll transport the supplies there tomorrow!”
Hayata stared, but Mapel said: "Children, I know you are worried about our safety, but there is no absolutely safe place in this world, and Minagard is already a famous big city. ."
“Let’s go to Dongdoruma. Didn’t my uncle save some money and plan to retire there? It happened to be ahead of schedule, and Aunt Mapel is coming with us!”
“That’s reserved for your wedding!” Pine slammed the table.
“I need you to prepare these for me?!” Hayata slapped the table in exactly the same way as Pine.
Seeing that the topic was about to turn in some unknown direction, Gordon quickly said: "Don't think about it so much for now, just avoid it for a while."
“Boy Gordon.” Pine glared at Gordon.
"ah?"
“Tell me honestly, what is the probability that Minagarde will be breached?”
“It’s a bit hard to say, maybe 20%?”
“If the city is breached, are there any other ways to ensure safety?”
"Of course, after the stronghold is breached, it will take about two days for the monsters to reach Minagard. The guild will definitely organize an evacuation, but it will probably be very difficult to leave Minagard City at that time."
“That’s nothing to worry about!” Pine slapped the table again, “It’s not as risky as I would go out for a business trip, okay?”
Gordon scratched his chin and was about to say something like, "What you said makes sense," but Hayata glared over again.
Okay, okay, I shut up
“Let’s put it this way, it’s impossible for me to leave Minagard at this juncture. How do you want my old brothers and fellows to think of me?” Pine crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.
"you!"
As soon as Hayata opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Pine with a wave of his hand, "I know you are worried about us. If there are any other ways to improve safety, we can consider it, but leave, no discussion!"
Hayata was furious, but there was nothing he could do about Payne.
"Actually, Lao Shanlong is not a ferocious monster." Gordon said cautiously: "Even if the city wall is breached, it will only move forward instead of attacking people everywhere."
“Really?” Hayata looked suspicious.
The words of Master Campbell, who was once a legendary hunter and is now a high-ranking member of the guild, are still very credible.
"Really." Gordon nodded and said: "Laoshanlong will destroy city walls and houses, but the real threat comes from the large number of snake dragons and velociraptors following Laoshanlong."
“That’s dangerous in large numbers!”
Gordon did not answer her question, but continued to tell Pine and the others: "Following the guild to evacuate is an option, but the evacuation location will probably be very crowded.
There is another way, Mr. Pine, does your home have a basement? "
"Yes." Pine nodded, "to pile up sundries and store some vegetables for winter."
“You can clean out the basement and prepare food and water for at least a week. The most important thing is to strengthen the entrance and exit of the basement. It is best to make a strong metal door.
In this way, even if the monsters break through Minagard City, they will be safe in the basement until the hunters clean up the small monsters.
Although there will be property losses, personal safety is guaranteed. "
“This is a good idea!” Pine nodded vigorously to show that he was satisfied.
Hayata thought that it was not a big problem to deal with it this way, so she did not object anymore.
Pig Chop thought for a while and added: "If you are worried about being unsafe, you can also prepare some monster feces in advance. Sprinkling it near the basement entrance can mask the smell, so small monsters will be less willing to get close."
Gordon had a weird expression. This was indeed a good idea, but the smell was a bit stronger. “Remember to seal it well, otherwise it will be smoked for several days.”
“Okay, we’ve written it down.” Mapel wrote this down carefully and was going to go to the market to ask the grocer soon.
"etc!"
Pine suddenly reacted and glared at Hayata, "You told me how dangerous that monster is. Didn't you come back this time to deal with that monster?!"
Hayata looked away and muttered: "Isn't that natural?"
“What do you mean ‘that’s not natural’?!”
Pine jumped up from his chair, "No! How is it possible! You have only been a hunter for a few years? How can you be allowed to deal with the kind of monsters that need to be specially built to block the fortress?!
No, no, you have to withdraw. I’ll go find Amos and ask him to go to the people above and tell him, you can’t participate!
At that time, you can stay in the basement with us and call Nellie back. The basement at home is big enough to accommodate the likes of us! "
Gordon next to him twitched his lips.
The conversation between the two is reversed.
Hayata ignored Pine who was jumping around, but turned to ask Gordon: "What is the attribute weakness of Lao Shanlong? Did Senior Gordon ask the master?"
Gordon didn't understand why she suddenly asked him this, but he still answered: "Weak dragons first, fire and thunder secondly."
“That’s right.” Hayata nodded lightly.
Thrown two pieces of her favorite tea snack into her mouth, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Then she suddenly left her seat, rushed to the hall, grabbed the Demon Zanpakutō that was placed in the entrance hall, and jumped out of the door.
“I’m leaving now, I’ll see you later!”
“Meow!” Xianglan, who was the first to react, quickly chased after her.
Gordon had no choice but to stand up and bowed to Pine and Mapel, who were still in a daze. "Don't worry, I will try my best to take good care of her."
Then he took big strides, shouldered the epitaph sword, and rushed out of Hayata's house with the pork chop.
“I’ve closed the door.”
"boom."
