Chapter 817: The Past of the Town

The small town of Shambhala is a small place that is almost unknown.

Because the tens of thousands of miners living here have no right to speak at all, and they can't make their voices heard.

Then again, most miners don't really care about that – they don't care if Shambhala's name is loud, they don't care if they are known, they only care about one thing, and that's whether they get paid on time.

Before getting paid, they worked hard, and after getting paid, they squandered desperately, waiting until the money was spent, and then working hard again.

It's a cycle that is the norm for a lot of people in Shambhala Town.

This would have lasted for a long time if there had been no accident, but the unexpected happened suddenly and disrupted it all.

The accident first happened more than half a month ago, and I don't know what happened, a rumor spread everywhere overnight.

The content of the rumor is very terrifying, it is said that in the process of mining, a miner accidentally dug the entrance to the abyss and released the demon inside. After the demon came out, he hid in the darkness and would go on a killing spree every night, and in just a few days, more than a dozen unlucky ghosts were killed.

In the beginning, most people just took rumors as rumors and didn't believe them, as was the case with so many rumors that had been circulating before.

For example, it is rumored that a wandering warbler in the north of the small town of Shambhala is a conjoined man with two heads. One grows in the normal position and the other grows on the back. Therefore, when Liuying was doing business, she resolutely refused to let the guests take off her upper body clothes, and no matter how much money she gave, she couldn't give more. As a result, a guest, out of curiosity, successfully took off the upper part of the warbler's clothes after paying ten times the usual price, and found that there was nothing but an unsightly burn mark.

Another example is rumored to be a narrow alley south of the town of Shambhala, where the Grim Reaper often wanders, and whoever dares to enter casually will take their soul with them. As a result, many people went in groups to see what the Grim Reaper looked like, but nothing happened. Later, I learned that the alley led to the back door of a tavern, and the rumor was deliberately released by the tavern owner in order not to let people defecate in the alley.

Because of these lessons, people don't take this rumor about the devil too seriously.

But soon, reality taught people a lesson.

On an ordinary night, a massacre struck a sudden massacre in a place called Mine 13 around the town of Shambhala, killing all a dozen of the vigil's guards. It was as if a demon had really escaped from the abyss, and the mood had come and a feast began.

Things became more and more terrifying, and for more than two weeks after the incident at Mine 13, the rest of the mines were inexplicably attacked. Either seriously injured, or brutally killed, or worse - no bones remained.

In this case, everyone's hearts were pressed with a stone, and they became panicked, frightened, and convinced of rumors.

By now, the panic has reached a limit, and many mines have had to shut down. And the workers who stopped work did not dare to live alone in the house, but chose to gather in one place. Only with the help of many companions can they temporarily suppress the panic in their hearts, so so many people gathered in a tavern early in the morning, so Richard suddenly broke in, which made the people in the tavern react extremely violently.

......

"That's pretty much it. The bartender let out a breath and ended his narrative, looking at Richard calmly.

Richard listened to the bartender's words, thought about it, and guessed that the so-called demon should be a demonized beast buried in the woods outside the town. These demonized beasts caused casualties among the people of Shambhala, and because they managed to attract the attention of the Truth Society, they were eventually killed by Joseph.

It can be said that the town of Shambhala is actually safe at present, but considering that Joseph has only killed the demonized beast in the past two days, the public's reaction is sluggish, and there is no way to know the truth, so they are still on the same alert.

Richard wanted to tell the bartender the truth, but considering that even if he told the other party, the other party would not really believe it, so he didn't bother to say anything. He just looked at the other party and asked, "You said that the first piece of evidence that convinced everyone of the rumors was the massacre that took place at Mine 13, right?"

"yes, do you have any doubts?"

"I don't have any doubts, but I want to know something about the current situation at Mine 13. For example, how is his mine owner, where can I contact him, and if I have the chance, I would like to talk to him. Richard said.

In his opinion, the connection between Mine 13 and the demonic beast was very close, and perhaps the so-called radioactive ore could be found there, so he naturally had a good reason to take a look.

After listening to Richard's words, the bartender raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, and confirmed: "Are you serious? Do you really want to find the owner of Mine 13?"

"yes, is there a problem?"

"No problem, I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to look for him, he's in this tavern right now. The bartender said.

"Where is this tavern?" asked Richard.

"Well, that's the man. The bartender didn't sell it, but pointed into the distance.

Richard looked over and saw that the bartender was referring to the same drunken drunkard he had noticed in the corner.

"Is that him?" Richard was a little skeptical, "as a mine owner, how could he be so down-and-out and look inferior to a miner, is it because of the massacre in the mines?"

"Yes, because of the massacre in the mines. "His name is Waltz, and I heard that he was a pauper." As a result, I didn't know what good luck I had, and I suddenly made a lot of money, bought the No. 13 mine, and became the owner of the mine.

A person like him is a nouveau riche, and the money is naturally not too little, but because he is not good at management, he will not have too much, and the most important thing is that he has no background. His main asset was the Thirteenth Mine, which was scrapped after the massacre, cutting off his main source of income.

The relatives of the guards who died in the massacre would not let him go easily, demanding large amounts of compensation from him, and emptying his savings. The rest of the competitors did not have any mercy on him, and took the opportunity to design him by means, and after several tosses, he went bankrupt.

You can also see that he is now drinking all day long, and he is extremely depressed, and no one does not dislike him. Originally, I thought that others were good, after all, every time I drank, I would pay. As a result, I have recently started to owe debts, and I have been scolded by my boss several times, so I don't have a good impression of him anymore. ”

"I see. After listening to the bartender's explanation, Richard nodded, and was about to walk towards the waltz in the distance.
