Under the continuous rainstorm, the blond woman held Sharp Blade that Cut the Palm in her hand and stabbed the strong back armor with one knife after another.
"Oh~"
The painful roar shook Rain Curtain.
The huge giant turtle swayed and rolled, trying to shake off the "bugs" on its body.
But no matter how it rolled, the blonde woman clung to its back and swung the knife like a cold machine.
Finally, under the continuous blows that seemed to have the same frequency as the sudden rain, a crack opened in the giant turtle's solid back.
At this moment, there were dozens of dense cracks on its body, and there were only a few sharp blades inserted into its back.
When the last crack spread, it became the straw that broke the camel's back.
All the cracks are connected.
The blond woman lying on the back of the giant turtle suddenly raised her fist and smashed it into the center of the crack.
Under this violent impact, the thick back armor instantly exploded like fragile glass, revealing the beating flesh and heart underneath.
The woman swung the blade and pierced the heart violently. Orange-colored blood splashed out, covering the woman's face and staining her hair.
She did not stop, but continued to attack without interruption, until the huge beast let out its last cry and fell to the ground forever.
She held onto the huge corpse with her hands and stood up staggeringly.
The pounding rain slid down her soft, white skin covered with wounds.
Finally... it's over...
She slowly raised her head.
Maybe he should go to the "leader" to say thank you.
And the moment she raised her head, a Purple Radiance streaked across the sky with vast pressure.
The moment she saw this ray of light, her heart suddenly tightened, and a strong and suppressed sadness covered her entire chest.
She had seen a similar glow before.
Ander and Roy both disappeared in such brilliance.
——
The continuous rainstorm was still falling, and Christos stared at the solemn and anxious figure below.
Serle is standing at the end Front Desk, holding Dawn City Constitution in his hand to take the oath.
Deputy Mayor was sworn in before the mayor.
A murmur of discussion came from the audience.
Dawn City's network was not disconnected, and people naturally knew that South City was breached by Exotic Beast.
The information that City Council was attacked by the rebels had not had time to spread.
Most of the people standing here are ordinary workers. They wear simple and plain clothes and hold umbrellas with GG printed on them that are given away by convenience stores or department stores during promotions.
They raised their heads and stared at the figures taking the oath on the platform.
They were slightly disturbed and fearful, but they didn't leave.
Because Christos is still sitting calmly on the platform.
The mayor who didn't run away also gave them the courage to not have to run away.
The swearing-in process is quick, taking only a few minutes.
But for some reason, Christos felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
At this moment, a Brilliant Purple Radiance suddenly crossed the sky with terrifying pressure, pierced the dark clouds, and landed on the ground not far away.
The moment he saw that light, Christos stiffened.
"The following is sworn in by Mayor Dawn City, Mr. Christos."
The clock moved toward twelve o'clock, and when the host said these words, Christos did not take any action immediately.
The returning Serle beside him gave Christos a gentle push.
Christos took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
He walked to the front of the platform and pressed his hand on the Chenxi City Constitution that had been pressed by successive Chenxi City mayors.
The host, Dawn City Chief Justice, looked at him,
"Christos, please read after me: I solemnly swear,"
"I solemnly swear"
"I will faithfully perform my duties as mayor of Dawn City and do my best to abide by, maintain and defend Dawn City Constitution."
"I will faithfully defend Federation's Order and defend human civilization."
"I will faithfully defend Federation's Order and defend human civilization."
"Until death"
After the host finished saying this, Christos paused, raised his head and looked forward, looking at where the Purple Radiance fell.
He spoke slowly and said word by word,
"Until death"
The golden sunshine pierced through the thick dark clouds and sprinkled on the huge statue of the first Dawn City mayor Elenska, and on the current Dawn City mayor Christos who looked toward the sky with the statue.
The figures of the two people overlapped across hundreds of years.
——
Shortly after Christos took the oath, Penny contacted Mayor's Guard and took Enoan's head to calm down the fight between City Council and Municipal Police Department.
At this time, Victor rushed back with Legion Commander, eliminated the three B-Rank Exotic Beast outside Dawn City, and reorganized Command Center of the Southern Army, cleaning up all the Exotic Beast in the city.
Dawn City seems to be back to its original appearance.
——Half a month later——
At this moment in the morning light City Council, a discussion is going on.
The original parliament hall was penetrated by artillery fire during the battle and is now being repaired. All the members are crowded into the small spare Council Hall at this time.
This Council Hall only has a rostrum and a simple, newly built question desk.
"Now, I would like to invite former councilman and current mayor Christos to respond to the inquiry about "Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Act" as a witness."
The speaker sitting on the rostrum spoke softly into the microphone.
Christos stood on the question desk and looked calmly at the MPs sitting here.
A few months ago, he was one of those people.
"Mr. Christos, I would like to ask you, how can you prove that the introduction of Wilderness Wanderers immigrants will not increase the crime rate in Dawn City?"
A member of parliament sitting on the right side of Christos asked softly.
"Protest," a council member on Christos's left raised his hand, "I think this question is meaningless. The number of new criminals Dawn City added every year has almost caught up with all Wilderness Wanderers now in the city."
"Please take turns to speak," the old speaker patted the table and spoke slowly into the microphone, "Christos, please respond to the inquiry."
The congressman on the left didn't really want to protest, he just made a disgusted sound to the other party. He retracted his hand and looked at Christos.
"There are hundreds of thousands of Wilderness Wandererss around Dawn City, but we have now found only more than 300 Wilderness Wandererss who have or may be involved in criminal acts. This ratio is far lower than the average Federation level."
Christos calmly looked at the questioning councilman and said softly, "In fact, we have all seen the role of Wilderness Wanderers in the Enoan incident. With their efforts, a large number of citizens were saved from the threat of death, and Enoan's cruel and crazy conspiracy was finally shattered. This is enough to prove that most Wilderness Wanderers are kind and heroic."
Another member next to the questioning member then asked, "Mr. Christos, Federation has not officially accepted new immigrants for hundreds of years since its establishment. Do you think it is reasonable to change such a situation rashly?"
"I think the citizens elected me and all the council members to come to power because they hope to see changes, and we have promised to bring changes to the citizens,"
Christos smiled, "So I think it is unreasonable to discuss whether to change this matter here. It has always existed, which does not mean it is right. Maybe it has been wrong for many years and has not been corrected."
"Okay!"
The congressman on the left of Christos who had just protested immediately applauded, "Well said!"
Even the congressmen around him laughed and clapped.
The congressman who asked the question turned pale and closed his mouth.
"Mr. Christos, I would like to ask, once Dawn City allows Wilderness Wanderers immigrants to enter, it will inevitably attract Wilderness Wanderers from the entire Federation range.
With a large number of Wilderness Wanderers entering the city, will they squeeze citizens' job opportunities? As a result, the original citizens were unemployed, and Dawn City's current unemployment rate is already high enough. "
Christos Another member of Parliament on the right asked next.
"The fundamental problem affecting the unemployment rate does not lie with Wilderness Wanderers, nor does it lie with workers."
Christos replied calmly.
The congressman paused and did not continue on this issue.
"Mr. Christos..."
Question after question followed.
Most of these inquiries came from lawmakers who opposed the bill.
As the sun sets and darkness approaches, this inquiry reaches its final moment.
After everyone had finished asking, Christos did not leave. Instead, he calmly looked at the leaders of the group of congressmen and said slowly,
"Everyone, as the mayor of Chenxi City, I have to tell you some bad news. Although the vast majority of wilderness wanderers are kind and trustworthy, there are still thousands of wilderness wanderers in Chenxi City who are not recorded in the records.
City Defense Army has just experienced a war, and is currently undergoing repairs and restoration to clear out Enoan's henchmen, and has no energy to collect these Wilderness Wanderers.
Federal Bureau of Investigation is tracing God of Chaos Church Believers who was involved in this incident, and they can't take action now.
And Chenxi Municipal Government has a tight budget recently, so it probably won't be able to handle them in a short time. "
"What if these Wilderness Wanderers cause chaos?"
a member of the crowd asked.
"Sir, you know," Christos sighed feebly, "Dawn City's crime rate is already high enough. Municipal Government really doesn't have more manpower to spare. However, Municipal Government will try its best to maintain the stability of everyone's constituency in order to welcome the upcoming parliamentary election. Please rest assured."
If he didn't mention this, no one would have thought that when he mentioned this, the whole parliament exploded instantly.
The mayor is elected every four years, and the council members are elected every two years. Chenxi City Council will replace one-third of the council members every two years. The election of City Council comes after Mayor Election.
The critical period of the election is coming soon. Once the environment in the constituency deteriorates sharply and causes unrest, some members here may not be able to be re-elected smoothly.
Some cross-benchers who originally opposed "Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Act" began to think rapidly.
"Okay," the old speaker patted the microphone and said slowly, "Now we will have the last debate on "Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Act"."
The loud noise instantly echoed through the entire parliament.
Christos stared at these noisy council members like a discount market.
In fact, he has already communicated with most of the members in advance, and some neutral members will also support the bill because of the need to maintain stability in the parliamentary elections.
He took a deep breath, turned towards the door, and opened Council Hall's door.
Behind him was the chaotic and noisy parliament.
k, I promised you, I did it.
——
The rays of the morning sun shine in the somewhat deserted garden.
A huge statue is being suspended from a mechanical crane in the center of the garden.
Under the statue being erected, a dark-faced girl was holding a book and quietly watching the workers erecting the statue.
"The Immigration Act passed."
A woman with beautiful blond hair slowly walked over and stopped next to the girl, "Congratulations."
"Thank you."
The dark girl said softly.
"Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Act" allows all Wilderness Wanderers to apply for the identity of Dawn City.
After submitting a detailed application, Wilderness Wanderers will get a social security card number. Through this social security card number, they will be able to get a legal job in Dawn City, and can also apply for bank cards and rent houses.
Then the applicant will enter an observation period of one to five years. During this observation period, as long as the applicant performs well and does not have any Criminal Record, he or she can be converted into a Dawn City citizen. Their children born in the future can also directly obtain the opportunity of Dawn City citizen.
Of course, different people have different execution rules, but generally speaking, Wilderness Wanderers already has an open and transparent channel to enter Dawn City.
Wilderness Wanderers people's hundreds of years of wandering destiny came to an end at this moment.
"Have you recovered from your injuries?"
Penny turned around and looked at Selina beside him.
In the past half month, Selina has been undergoing treatment in the hospital and getting a new prosthetic body. Penny often visits her, and the two gradually become friends.
"My injury is very simple. I can just replace it with a prosthetic body. It's just that it took a long time to wait for this prosthetic body to be delivered and it took some time to adapt."
Selina smiled and raised the mithril box in his hand, "I'll give you back what you gave me."
Penny shook her head slightly. She held down the mithril box and pushed it back. "It's better in your body than in our hands."
Selina is not stupid, she understands what Penny means.
Although the "Immigration Bill" was passed, the Wilderness Wandererss have now lost their leader, and the entire group is very weak. Although they have the care of Christos, Christos is the mayor after all, and it is impossible to take care of them at all times.
They also need a collaborator with a certain status and strength in this city.
After using Bitter Ape Heart, Selina can already exert the strength of C-Rank, and the price of Bitter Ape Heart is almost zero for her. It is the most suitable Transcendent Item for her.
And this Transcendent Item is left in the hands of Wilderness Wanderers, and no one can use it.
It's a good deal to replace an unusable C-Rank's Transcendent Item with a real and respected collaborator of C-Rank.
"You believe me so much?"
Selina paused and asked with a smile.
If she wants, she can buy this Transcendent Item directly.
"It's not that I believe in you," Penny shook his head, "It's that the leader believes in you."
In fact, Penny already had it in her mind. When the leader asked her to give Bitter Ape Heart to Selina, she might have already thought about the current situation.
Christos may be able to restrain Chenxi Municipal Police Department and City Defense Army, but it is difficult to restrain Federal Bureau of Investigation.
During the period when the bill was not passed, relying on the existence and coordination of Selina, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Christos stood on the same front, without any investigation or arrest of Wilderness Wanderers.
The more he thought about it, the more Penny felt that the leader had planned every step after death and paved all the roads for those of them who were still alive.
He had anticipated his own death.
"Your leader..." Selina paused for a moment, then sighed softly, and slowly took back Mithril Box, "When one of you can use this Transcendent Item, I will return it to you."
The cold morning wind blew through their hair.
The tall statue was finally erected.
Penny raised his head and stared at the statue.
It was a man with a thin face, a machete and Short Sword hanging on his waist, and a fur coat. He waved his hand to push aside the thorns in front of him, and looked up at the front, as if he was looking at the rising sun, and at the same time seemed to be looking at hope.
The girl walked to the statue and slowly placed the book in her arms in front of the statue. It was a paper version.
"Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Act"
A drop of clear tears ran down her cheek and fell into the wind under the morning sun,
"Chief, we have New Home."
