Chapter 1 Aftermath

After reaching an agreement, the lumberjack Frederick immediately set off to lead the players to the nearest town.

According to Frederick, the Ice Queen's palace was about five hundred miles away, with many passes and rivers to cross along the way.

Even if the players had modern transportation, it would probably take a while to get there.

This distance proved that the system's hidden time limit for the players was still relatively generous, definitely not less than the time it would take to travel at full speed.

Moreover, this mission was to bring the complete magic mirror out of the Ice Queen's palace. According to the original Andersen fairy tale, the magic mirror made by the devil was shattered into countless pieces in the human world.

If the players went to great lengths to reach the palace, only to find that the prerequisite for completing the mission was to bring the magic mirror fragments to the palace, that would be a real joke.

Therefore, the players' plan was to investigate the towns along the way, observe the territory under the rule of the Ice Queen, visit the Ice Queen's church up close, and collect clues related to the magic mirror.

By the way, they would also verify whether Frederick was telling them the truth.

A group of people walked on the forest path, chatting intermittently, trying to extract information while also increasing their fragile "friendship" –

They estimated that they would be in the mission world for several days, so they might as well take this opportunity to get to know their teammates and increase the probability of mutual rescue in times of crisis.

By the way, John Joyce and Bob were native-born Americans, and Julia was a descendant of Italian immigrants to America.

As for Yange, his parents were actually illegal immigrants living in America, but in order to better play the Killing Game, and to avoid a criminal record, he ran back to Brazil.

So after a brief exchange, they confirmed each other's compatriot status. In theory, they should mobilize to strip Li Ang, an Asian, of his leadership.

But unfortunately, none of them understood pc, and just as they were trying to renegotiate with Li Ang to confirm the leadership, Frederick had already led them to the edge of the town.

The town was much more "advanced" than the players had imagined.

The architectural style was similar to that of a Victorian-era British town, with many tall brick houses and relatively smooth roads. The pedestrians on the street were also mostly well-dressed, not the kind of starving serfs.

At this moment, many citizens were gathered not far from the southeast corner of the town. Workers, farmers, gentlemen in double-breasted suits, and ladies with parasols and high-necked long skirts surrounded a bald-headed middle-aged man standing on a stage.

"That's the mayor of Hamelin. I've seen him before when I went to town to sell leather."

Frederick pointed to the frustrated middle-aged man standing on the stage, and immediately led the players closer. After approaching, everyone could hear what the townspeople were saying.

"We need to accept the sins committed by our ancestors in history, as Her Majesty the Queen said, and take on the responsibility of repairing the bonds of the race, to build a harmonious and diverse group!"

A gentleman in a suit shouted at the stage, "But, Your Excellency the Mayor, the crime rate in Hamelin has been high recently. There are robberies, burglaries, gang fights, and nighttime noise incidents. I don't know if you have any ideas?"

"Her Majesty the Queen's decree is correct and reasonable. It is the duty of every citizen to devote their lives to cultural inclusion and racial equality!"

Another gentleman in a suit first shouted a slogan inexplicably, and then said to the mayor, "The plan to provide assistance to African refugees was first proposed by you, Mr. Mayor.

We welcome more African Rune Kingdom residents to Hamelin to promote our multicultural development.

However, in terms of the infrastructure of our Hamelin, I am afraid that we cannot provide a better living environment for so many African Rune Kingdom residents.

Therefore, townspeople, I suggest sending those African Rune Kingdom residents gathered on Opera Street to the mayor's villa.

I believe they will be satisfied with their new living environment."

"That's right!" A tavern owner waved his fist. "Those black, cough cough, I mean African Rune Kingdom residents, after coming to Hamelin,

Gather together all day long to smoke sugary fumes – of course, this is a free choice, a non-discriminatory lifestyle.

After smoking the fumes, they gather to fight – of course, this is a reasonable way to exercise.

In between fights, they harass, I mean flirt with some pedestrians on the street – of course, I don't think this free choice of partners has anything to do with the 80% drop in Hamelin's third-quarter tourist revenue."

A group of townspeople kept talking, and the players understood what was happening in this town from their fragmentary words.

Hamelin is a town in the Rune Kingdom that produces wood, stone, dyes, textiles, precious metals. Ten years ago, Her Majesty the Ice Queen specially set up a church in the town.

All the townspeople of Hamelin were proud of this church, which the Queen personally named.

Because of this church, and some of the surrounding scenery, Hamelin became a famous tourist destination in the Rune Kingdom. Every year, tourists who came to Hamelin to visit the church provided a huge boost to the town's economic development.

Several months ago, the mayor, in response to the Queen's call, formulated a plan to introduce a group of African Rune Kingdom residents with black skin (that is, black people) in the name of 'introducing talents',

To fill the gap in Hamelin's black population.

According to the mayor, as a glorious town with a church personally set up by Her Majesty the Queen, it is incorrect and not inclusive enough that our town does not have black residents.

At that time, the townspeople responded to the mayor's call, and many even claimed that they were willing to donate houses for those African talents introduced to Hamelin to live in.

However, you must know that there are not many black people on this land in the first place.

In the many years since Her Majesty the Queen put forward the slogan of anti-racial discrimination, a large number of black people have gathered in the capital of the Rune Kingdom, enjoying the Rune Kingdom's high subsidies, so no one is willing to accept the so-called Hamelin talent introduction plan at all.

In order not to let the plan fall behind, the mayor, that is, the bald man who is being besieged by the townspeople at this moment, came up with a brilliant plan – to directly introduce African residents from other regions, such as the source of African residents.
