Chapter 404 Petrich Town
Chapter 404 Petrich Town
In the next few days, the figures of the Fatui in Fontaine kept disappearing. The Fatui, who were often seen in the past, seemed to have evaporated, and until now, no trace of them could be seen at all.
It seems that what Alechino said was true, and she really withdrew the Fatui from Fontaine.
Jiang Xun guessed that she might have reached some kind of agreement with Villette, but the latter refused to say, so Jiang Xun could only guess on his own.
But what exactly the transaction is remains unknown.
Just at this moment, Jiang Xun, who was strolling on the street, saw two figures appear in front of him, standing in front of him in a slightly restrained manner.
"What's the matter, you two? Does your father have something to tell me?"
Standing in front of him were Linny and Linnet, two magicians who looked glamorous and brilliant in the eyes of outsiders, but standing in front of Jiang Xun they looked like mice seeing a cat, and were extremely uncomfortable.
Hearing Jiang Xun's question, Linnie took a deep breath, then bowed slightly to Jiang Xun, and Linnet did the same.
"Thanks to your help, we are able to survive."
Linny's tone was so sincere that even Linnett echoed him and thanked him.
"Is that so? No need to thank me. Even if I didn't do it, Ms. Pe...Arecino wouldn't really do anything to you."
"Yes, but it is also a fact that you helped us. For this reason alone, we owe you a favor."
Jiang Xun looked a little strange after hearing this. He paused for a moment, then said calmly, "She asked you to come, didn't she?"
Although it was a question, Jiang Xun's tone showed affirmation. If it wasn't for Alechino's instructions, how could the two siblings take the initiative to come to him given how afraid they looked of him?
"Father said that you are an important guest of Hearth House and told us not to offend you. However, this time, Father did not let us take the initiative to contact you. This was our own idea."
Lin Ni's tone was sincere, but this answer surprised Jiang Xun a little. He could confirm that the other party was not lying. So, these two siblings really came to thank him?
After thinking about it, Jiang Xun waved his hand.
"Well, I know what you mean. Is there anything else? If not, I have to go find some fun."
"Uh, it's okay."
Linnie looked a little surprised. He thought the other party would take this opportunity to make a request to them, but he didn't expect that he didn't want anything. In the end, he was thinking too much.
"Wait, did you just say you wanted to have some fun? Um, I mean, you wanted to find some interesting news that happened recently?"
Seeing Jiang Xun was about to leave, Lin Ni spoke up.
He came here firstly to express his gratitude and to improve the relationship with the other party, and secondly to show them their value as much as possible. He knew how much his father valued the other party. If he could not show the value of Fireplace House, then there would be no talk of cooperation in the future.
"you know?"
"Yes, according to the information from Hearth House, something seems to have happened in Petrich Town recently. The residents there seem to be possessed, and their behavior has become somewhat... unusual."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Jiang Xun's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
But he was a little confused again: "Since you knew about this, didn't you send anyone to investigate?"
"Almost all the Fatui in Fontaine, except us, have been evacuated by my father. We also have our own tasks to complete and do not have time to investigate this matter."
"Okay, that's good news. Let's just say goodbye then."
Jiang Xun nodded and waved goodbye to the brother and sister.
He planned to go to that town to find out what was going on. Firstly, to find himself something to do, and secondly, considering the time, Jiang Ruoli would probably be in Fontaine soon, so going there now would be a good opportunity to avoid her.
Again, he didn't want to eat the herbs that made him feel sick.
We arrived at the seaport and boarded a ship bound for Petliko Town. It took about half a day to get here.
A small town is located on the island in front of us. It is almost evening, but strangely, there are few people in the town and even the lights in the houses are not turned on.
When Jiang Xun stepped into the town, he saw many residents lying on the ground and falling asleep. Of course, there were some residents who were still walking, but their mental state was not right. Not only did they behave strangely, but they also kept saying things that people could not understand.
The whole town seemed to be infected with the zombie virus, and the scene was very weird.
These things were not even reported in the Neat Bird Newspaper, but Hearth House actually discovered the abnormality of the town first. This made Jiang Xun curious about the intelligence network of Hearth House. He didn't expect that Alechino was not bragging before, and Hearth House was really good at collecting information.
But these are all later stories, because in the current situation, Jiang Xun couldn’t even find anyone to inquire about the situation.
Just as he was considering whether to randomly find a lucky audience member lying on the ground to give him a slap of love to wake him up, a person slowly walked up to him.
"Who are you? You don't seem to be from our town, right?"
"No, but the people in your town are really open-minded. When they are tired, they just sleep on the ground. Aren't they afraid of being stepped on by someone in the dark in the middle of the night?"
"They are not sleeping, but something is wrong. They seem to be hypnotized."
"Hypnosis?"
Jiang Xun looked around. If these people's behavior could be described as hypnosis, it would indeed seem reasonable.
But the person who hypnotized them seems a bit immature.
Just now, as Jiang Xun was walking along, he saw people muttering words like "barbarian" and "supreme" constantly. If you didn't know, you would think they were performing a drama together.
"Yes, it's hypnosis. I'm also looking for the reason, but my ability is limited. However, a little blonde girl came here yesterday, and they seem to have already found the reason."
There was a sense of relief in Esther's tone. Regardless of whether the two succeeded or not, at least it could share some of the pressure for them so that they wouldn't push themselves too hard.
"Sure enough, this matter can't be hidden from that guy."
Jiang Xun didn't even need to guess, he could identify the other party's identity from the blonde girl she mentioned.
"No matter what, if everything is fine, I suggest you go back quickly. It's best not to stay here for long. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Esther shook her head and walked away.
Jiang Xun looked at his back as he left, and naturally there was no way he would just listen to him and leave.
It was obvious that this matter was full of mystery, so Jiang Xun would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to have fun.
He immediately used the magic to bless his eyes, searching for traces of the past. Soon, he locked onto the aura that belonged to Ying.
“So it’s over here.”
