NOVEL WEB Chapter 679 City Lord’s Mansion
The city lord's palace is not in the center of the city.
At least, not at the center point of the circle with the inner city wall as the center point.
Located at the center point is a huge square.
That square was used for celebrations in the past.
The city lord's palace is on the other side of the square.
The path chosen by Jack and the others first merged into the square.
Then, at the other end of the square, leave.
Only then did we finally arrive at the City Lord’s Mansion.
This was the first time Jack saw this building and he couldn't help but take a closer look.
Said to be the City Lord's Mansion, it is actually a huge manor.
Because it also has the function of handling government affairs, there is a large group of buildings at the front of the manor.
Those are the offices of different municipal units.
Looking outside, you can see that a lot of money was spent on building these buildings.
Especially the city hall in the middle. The gate alone is more than ten meters high, and it is visually estimated to be three or four stories high.
It looks really impressive.
In order to protect against mutant beasts, these buildings have been equipped with many fences and pillars.
It's hard to say whether it has sufficient protective power, but it does give the originally delicate building a rough and wild beauty.
There were no living dead near the municipal building at this time.
However, there were many corpses lying on the ground nearby.
It’s hard to tell whether it belongs to the living dead, an ordinary person, or an awakened person.
It’s everywhere anyway.
If you look carefully, you can see that the corpses have varying degrees of damage, as if they have been eaten.
Looking at the municipal building again, the main entrance of the building is locked.
Jack looked at it for a while and then stepped forward.
There were corpses at the scene, no survivors or living dead, and the door was closed.
Jack felt that there might have been a fierce battle here, and then all the living people either left or chose to hide in the building.
Only in this way can we explain why the door is properly closed.
After all, no serious escapee would care whether the door is closed or not.
With this thought in mind, Jack came to the gate.
When you look at it from a distance, you feel that this door is already very grand. When you stand in front of the door, the feeling of grandeur is even more obvious.
With Jack's little girl's body, even if she raised her head desperately, she couldn't see the top of the door.
It only seems that the door is as heavy as a mountain, weighing on the heart, and the environment here is very solemn.
Jack withdrew his gaze, raised his right hand, and activated the magic.
A closed door is really easy for magic to deal with.
All it takes is a lock-picking spell to solve all the problems.
There is no need to worry about how the door is locked.
squeak...
The door made a dull and scratchy sound as it gradually opened.
The things inside were immediately revealed before your eyes.
As the city hall, after entering the door, there is a huge front hall.
There are no functions here.
If you want to force one to be installed, then just rest and wait.
Therefore, apart from some tables and chairs, what came into view was nothing worth looking forward to.
Jack just glanced at it and focused on the left and right sides of the front hall.
Those are doorways.
Blocked by fences and cabinets.
There are some labels on each door opening.
Like a reporting office, a complaint office, etc.
Come to think of it, the residents usually stood in front of the doorway, separated by the fence from the civil servants, making various applications.
If there were no surprises, the upper floors of the city hall were nothing more than the offices of some senior officials.
To be honest, there is nothing to look forward to in this kind of place.
It's nothing more than being able to harvest some documents that are no longer useful, or some treasures that are too late to take away.
Even so, Jack was still willing to go upstairs and have a look.
However, before going upstairs, he waved his hand and closed the door.
Who knows what might come in through the open door after going upstairs.
Whether they are survivors or the living dead, they are an unknown trouble to him.
He didn't want to deal with trouble right now.
I just want to take over a base safely first, that's all.
After closing the door firmly, Jack took the lead and went directly upstairs.
As he expected, the offices upstairs were occupied by senior officials.
Of course, there are also several parlors.
Whether it's an office or a living room, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are well decorated.
After all, this is a city, and the windows displayed by senior officials to the outside world will definitely not be dirty and messy.
In these places, Jack saw a lot of treasures.
Such as pens made of pure gold, fans made of ivory, and many calligraphy and painting antiques whose specific value cannot be determined.
Come to think of it, it shouldn't be a bargain if it can be collected by senior officials, right?
Unfortunately, these things have little meaning to Jack.
Might as well be the confidential documents in the drawer.
He found some documents in the count's office.
These documents are all information related to the epidemic.
For example, the X factor that can awaken people.
It is mentioned repeatedly in the data.
Because he was pressed for time, Jack just browsed through it briefly and put it down first.
This information requires a lot of time to sort and summarize, so it is not suitable to read it now.
It’s better to do what you need to do first.
After a rough walk around, Jack found no danger, so he asked the Enke brothers to take care of it.
What they have to do is very simple, just close every door and window and check if there are any survivors or living dead in the building.
It's that simple.
For the Enke brothers who can use extraordinary power, such a task is not difficult.
If you really encounter the living dead and are killed...
That can only be said to be too bad.
It would be good for such a good person to die early. After all, what Jack needs are all kinds of elites who can let him free his hands and feet to do things.
Not to mention a planet-level genius, at least a talent of Snape's level.
After arranging the tasks, Jack walked out from the back door of the city hall.
After exiting the back door, you are greeted by a huge garden and a spacious cross road that divides the garden into four.
Walking along the road to the end is a small building surrounded by walls.
The small building is not the City Lord's Mansion. If you insist on saying so, it is just the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
Passing through the small building, there is another spacious road.
At the other end of the road, we finally saw the City Lord's Mansion.
It was a spacious and tall building, the core area of a huge manor.
At this time, the manor was quiet, except for the sound of the breeze blowing the sea of flowers, nothing could be heard.
There is a different kind of tranquility.
