Chapter 94 Town Gathering
After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Mu Hua came to Old Baron's tavern.
The town held a town meeting here today, and Old Morey asked Mu Hua if he wanted to attend. This was the first time Mu Hua had been invited to a collective activity by the townspeople, so he naturally would not refuse.
It's called a town meeting, but even a gathering held in a pub isn't that serious. It's just some old people in the town getting together to discuss things related to the town.
The ritual formation for the 375 courtyard was laid, the launch of a reconnaissance satellite was also put on the agenda, and a branch of Springer College was established, including a commercial area outside the town.
These will have a significant impact on the lives of the townspeople.
When everyone gathered together to chat, the main topic of discussion was about how to avoid causing adverse effects on their original lives and how to bring more benefits to the town.
Mu Hua has only been in Loren for a short time. He came here to pursue a new life, not to be a wandering loner.
Although the improvement in his own strength was somewhat beyond his expectations, Mu Hua did not mind integrating into the small town.
In other words, in his opinion, it is also necessary to integrate here and become a citizen of the Magic Empire with a provenance.
There was a sign in front of the pub that said 'Closed Today'. When I pushed open the door, I found that the pub was a little noisy and there were already quite a few people gathered here.
There are Ivan, the owner of Nigel Farm in the west of the town, Morey who runs a gun shop, Rita who runs a supermarket, Mark who runs a restaurant, Tim who runs a butcher shop, Sam who runs a fast food restaurant, and so on.
Including the town mayor Pete, and some townspeople who work in well-known companies, most of the people attending the party are middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old.
Among them were three or four young people under the age of 30, and several cowboys accompanying the farmer Ivan. One of them was wearing a security uniform, and there was noise coming from his communicator from time to time. I'm afraid he hasn't gotten off work yet.
There was also a young man who was wearing a Night Hunter's shoulder badge.
"Get out, Vito, there's no place for you here!" As soon as Mu Hua entered the tavern, he heard the farmer Ivan scolding.
Vito, the gang leader who had been helped to remove the curse by Mu Hua earlier, seemed to want to join the party, but the people here did not seem to welcome him.
Different from Lanton, the gangsters in Lanton are actually quite respected by the people. When they meet some gangsters, many people will even be a bit fawning when they meet them.
But on Loren's side, they were obviously not very welcome.
Following the scolding, the two younger cowboys beside Ivan stood up, as if ready to fight Vito at any time.
"Man, you see, I just want to do my part for the town." Vito's face looked grim. Mu Hua happened to come in. Vito looked at Mu Hua, spread his hands and said to Mu Hua as if he knew him well.
Walking past Vito, Mu Hua ignored Vito's attempts to talk to him and walked past him coldly, which made Vito, who was ignored, look even uglier.
After greeting a few people he knew in the pub, Mu Hua came to Old Morey's table and sat next to him.
"Hey, Alvin, do you need me to help you throw him out?"
"Of course, Toby, you can't arrest me for casting spells." Mu Hua said to Ivan who had an angry face, then looked at the young man in the security uniform and smiled.
The laws of most countries on Loren Star do not allow the use of offensive magic outside of the courtyard. This includes the attacks of summoned beasts, but defensive magic is not restricted.
Another thing is that if the Mage's Hand does not involve attacking, it can be used normally. This is a privilege that the proud mages have fought for themselves.
"Hehe, Mu, I can handle it." Nodding at Mu Hua, Ivan, like an old cowboy, glared at Vito again.
"You are not from this town. You are a bastard who corrupts young people. You have no right to sit here. Get out of here."
Ivan scolded, and Mu Hua didn't give Vito a good look either.
A trash person should have the awareness of a trash person. If he can be as awesome as Jackie Chan, he should also be able to adapt to being stepped on.
Before you find a backer who can give you a glamorous appearance, don't stand in front of people who live normal lives. Mu Hua knew a little about Vito's situation. Considering the things he usually did, it was really a bit confusing for him to appear here now.
Seeing that everyone was on Ivan's side, Mayor Pete had an impatient look on his face, Toby from the guard team was full of disgust, and Will, who had joined the Night Hunters, even put his hand on the sword at his waist.
"Hmph!" Vito snorted coldly, trying to offset the embarrassment, and pushed the door and left the pub.
Vito's coming and going was just an episode that could be used as a topic of conversation at the party.
Except for Ivan's heroic statement that if Vito dared to show up on his farm, he would send Vito to hell, everyone quickly forgot about Vito.
Although people like Vito are very capable of causing trouble, in Loren, everyone has a gun.
If a real fight breaks out, ordinary law-abiding people might be more dangerous than his gangsters.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet for a while!" After everyone chatted for a while, Pete stood in the middle of the hall and waved his hand for all the tables to be quiet.
"I have gathered everyone here today to talk about a few things."
"First, the Changfeng Group over at Heiman's place wants to open a plantation in the north of the town. Let's discuss how many jobs we want them to provide and how much they should be paid."
"Secondly, the Springer branch will be completed and open soon. We need to secure some scholarships for the young people in town."
"Those children who have extraordinary potential should be recruited back. How many warriors are sent out by Sprinkle every year? It's better to enroll them than to just hang around outside."
"Third, our courtyard will soon be launching a reconnaissance satellite, and there should be a strategy team that will be interested in this place. The strategy team can bring a lot of economic benefits, and the town may be able to add some fast food trucks. Let's see who wants to do this business."
"What's going on with the sawmill? Since the opening of the courtyard, the Gena family's sawmill business has been getting worse day by day." After Pete finished counting on his fingers, someone in the room asked.
"Pete, stop talking nonsense and go say hello to the garrison. Those who originally came to Bear Pig Town to purchase timber must give priority to purchasing timber from the town. If you can't, then step down and let someone else be the mayor." Someone shouted angrily when mentioning the sawmill.
"Chiligua, chiligua..."
As Pete brought up the topic he had prepared for today, the pub became increasingly noisy.
Four people sat around the wooden table, and everyone was either discussing with their tablemates or standing up to speak. After a while, although the topic did not deviate, everyone was arguing and making noises.
Among the things that everyone was discussing, only the Springer branch had some relationship with Mu Hua.
But Mu Hua still hadn't figured out what his professorship meant. He couldn't interrupt, so he just started chatting with Old Morey and the others at his table.
"Mu, aren't you a necromancer? Hillary said a few days ago that there are ghost disturbances in the west of the town at night. Can you go there to take a look when you have time?" Old Barron brought Mu Hua a large glass of beer and said to Mu Hua.
"Okay, as long as Weir doesn't say that I'm stealing his job." Mu Hua said with a smile.
"Tsk, that kid soul hunter has to drink the psychic vision potion, and the Night Hunter doesn't even care about simple soul-disturbing phenomena." Old Morey said with disdain.
"Okay, no need to bother. I'll let the ravens take a look." After taking a sip of ice-cold beer, Mu Hua communicated with the blind ravens scattered outside the hotel.
Although summoned beasts cannot act independently away from their summoners, the town's scope does not affect the activities of the ravens.
Usually Mu Hua would scatter the ravens in the woods outside the hotel. He had originally planned to let the ravens fly to the west of the town to take a look, but as soon as they started sharing vision, Mu Hua's expression became inexplicably strange.
Woods, fallen leaves, paths, in the woods outside the hotel, Deman's face was flushed. A hot girl, holding his arm, was walking with him into the depths of the woods.
The two of them acted intimately, the girl took Deman's arm and tried to please him, they went wherever there were lots of trees and grass. Look at Deman's smile, is he going to have a wild fight?
Mu Hua was indignant at Deman's bad behavior of messing around during working hours. Ten ravens hid among the trees and observed the two's actions from all directions.
