Chapter 545: Ordinary Citizens' Thoughts

Facing Pine, who looked indifferent, Gordon suddenly understood more.

Understand why there is no tension on the streets of Minagard City when the crisis is imminent?

According to the master, the old mountain dragon "visits" Minagard about once every sixty years.

With the efforts of the hunters regardless of casualties, the first two attacks of the old mountain dragon were successfully repelled. The fear of the last time the city wall was breached is already the memory of several generations of people.

Because of this, except for a very small number of dragon people, most of the citizens of Minagard have no idea about the "old mountain dragon attack".

Look at the tall city walls, look at those cannons and crossbows, we still have so many hunters, what is there to worry about?

This is what most citizens think.

Those who have not faced the ancient dragon in person will never understand the existence of such a natural disaster.

At the same time, this kind of stable mood is also what the guild is more happy to see.

It is the same reason why the little mustache leader decided to conceal the truth about the attack of the Lingshan dragon during the "Great Desert Banquet". The ancient dragon is scary, but large-scale riots are even scarier.

It will even seriously affect the construction progress of the two forts.

Gordon pressed Hayata's shoulder, who was about to say something, and said to Pine seriously: "Mr. Pine, the monsters that attacked this time are very dangerous, and we are not absolutely sure to repel them.

If possible, leaving Minagard during this period is indeed the safest choice."

Pine narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean, Minagard City may be breached?"

"There is a probability."

"Then I can't leave even more! I will urge the caravan to prepare quickly, and we will transport the supplies 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. Minagard is already a famous big city."

"Go to Dondoruma, didn't your uncle save some money to retire there? It just happened to be ahead of time, and Aunt Mapel will come with you!"

"That's for your wedding!" Pine slammed the table.

"Do I need you to prepare these for me?!" Hayata's action of slamming the table was exactly the same as Pine's.

Seeing that the topic was about to turn to some unknown direction, Gordon hurriedly said: "Don't think so much for now, just avoid it for this period of time."

"Gordon boy." Pine glared at Gordon.

"Ah?"

"Tell me honestly, what is the probability of Minagard being breached?"

"It's a bit hard to say, about, 20%?"

"If the city is breached, are there other ways to ensure safety?"

"Of course, after the fort is breached, it will take about two days for the monsters to reach Minagard. The guild will definitely organize a refuge, but it will probably be difficult to leave Minagard again at that time."

"Then why worry about it!" Pine slammed the table again, "This is not as risky as me going out for business, okay?"

Gordon scratched his chin and was about to say something like "What you said makes sense", but Hayata glared at him again.

Okay, okay, I'll shut up.

"Let's put it this way. It's impossible for me to leave Minagard at this juncture. How will my old brothers and friends see me?" Pine crossed his arms and leaned back on the chair.

"You!"

Hayata just opened his mouth and was interrupted by Pine waving his hand, "I know you are worried about us. If there is any other way to improve safety, we can consider it, but leaving is out of the question!"

Hayata was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Pine.

"In fact, the old mountain dragon is not a vicious monster." Gordon said carefully: "Even if it breaks through the city wall, it will only move forward instead of attacking people everywhere."

Seeing that Hayata was about to glare at him again, Gordon quickly added: "This is what my master said!"

"Really?" Hayata looked suspicious.

The words of Master Cambe, a former legendary hunter and now a high-level guild leader, are still very credible.

"Really." Gordon nodded and said, "The old mountain dragon will destroy the city walls and houses, and the real threat comes from the large number of snake dragons and velociraptors following the old mountain dragon."

"That's dangerous if there are too many!"

Gordon didn't respond to her, but continued to say to Pine and the others, "Following the guild to seek refuge is an option, but the place of refuge is expected to be very crowded.

There is another way, Mr. Pine, do you have a basement at home?"

"Yes." Pine nodded, "to store miscellaneous items and some vegetables in winter."

"You can clean out the basement and prepare at least a week's worth of food and water. The most important thing is to reinforce the entrance and exit of the basement. It is best to make a sturdy flap with metal.

In this way, even if the monster breaks through the city of Minagard, it will be safe to hide in the basement and wait for the hunters to clean up those small monsters.

Although there will be property losses, personal safety is guaranteed."

"This method is very good!" Pine nodded vigorously, indicating that he was very satisfied.

Hayata thought that this approach did not seem to be a big problem, so he did not object.

Pig Chop thought for a moment and added, "If you're worried about safety, you can prepare some monster feces in advance and sprinkle it near the entrance to the basement to cover up the smell. Small monsters will be reluctant to get close."

Gordon looked strange. This was indeed a good idea, but the smell was a bit strong. "Remember to seal it well, otherwise it will be smoked for a few days."

"Okay, we'll take note of it." Mapel took note of it carefully and prepared to go to the market to ask the grocer in a while.

"Wait!"

Pine suddenly reacted and glared at Hayata. "You told me how dangerous that monster was. You came back this time. You didn't come here to deal with that monster, did you?!"

Hayata looked away and muttered, "Isn't that natural?"

"What do you mean by 'that's not natural'?!"

Pine jumped up from his chair. "No! How can you! You've only been a hunter for a few years? How can you deal with monsters that require a special fortress to block?!

No, no, you have to withdraw. I'll go find Amos and ask him to tell the higher-ups that you can't participate!

When the time comes, you'll stay in the basement with us and call Nari back. The basement at home is big enough to accommodate all of us!"

Gordon next to him pulled the corner of his mouth.

The conversation between the two was reversed.

Hayata ignored Pine who was jumping up and down, and turned to ask Gordon: "What is the weakness of the old mountain dragon? Senior Gordon asked the master, right?"

Gordon didn't understand why she suddenly asked him this, but still answered: "Weak to dragon, followed by fire and thunder."

"Is that so." Hayata nodded gently.

She threw two pieces of her favorite tea into her mouth, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Then she suddenly left her seat, rushed to the hallway, grabbed the ghost sword placed in the entrance, and rushed out the door.

"I'm leaving first, I'll see you later!"

"Meow!" Xianglan, who was the first to react, chased out quickly.

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 a big step, carried the tombstone sword, and led the pork chop out of Hayata's house as if he was escaping.

"I closed the door."

"Bang."
