I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 274 Will
Xiao Qichen picked up the clothes and, sure enough, saw two familiar words.

The two exchanged a glance but didn't talk much.

After all, we're in a dungeon now, so there are a lot we can't say too much.

By the time Leon and Chen Yuanyuan finished choosing, it was already quite late.

At that moment, Ji Jia also sent a message, asking them to go to the city lord's mansion, saying that City Lord Adrian had something to announce.

"Could it be that he has chosen his successor?"

“But this is a matter for Motown, there’s no need to call us all over.”

Chen Yuanyuan muttered a couple of things, but didn't think much of it.

In any case, it's common in games that players must be present to advance a mission.

The city lord's mansion remained the same, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

Willis, in particular, looked at them with a complex expression, his eyes filled with scrutiny and resentment.

Ning Yun, in particular, could feel his gaze fixed on her.

She had a bad feeling.

Surely something unexpected has gone wrong with the mission again.

The group arrived at the main hall of the city lord's mansion. As if meeting for the first time, Lord Adrian looked at the painting in front of him with his back to them.

The only difference was that when he turned around, everyone was startled.

"Lord Adrian, your face..."

Adrian originally looked like a middle-aged man, but now half of his face looks like a middle-aged man, and the other half looks like an old man.

His face was shriveled, cracked, and covered with brown spots, as if half of his face would fall off like tree bark at any moment.

Even her hair is like that; half of it is black, while the other half is almost completely gone.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Adrian nodded. "Now that everyone is here, I can announce the will."

His voice was no longer as deep as before.

It sounded like the friction of a weathered stone rolling in one's throat.

Willis, the butler, walked up to Adrian, his expression serious yet tinged with sadness.

He then began to read out the contents of his will.

The first part concerns the distribution of private property. Having been the city lord for so many years, Adrian is quite wealthy.

Half of it was donated to Motown.

The money will primarily be used for infrastructure development in Motown and disaster relief.

Willis, the housekeeper, will act as the supervisor to ensure that every penny is used effectively.

Of the remaining half of the estate, a quarter was inherited by Willis's butler in recognition of his many years of hard work.

The remaining quarter was distributed among the maids, guards, gardeners, and others in the city lord's mansion as severance pay.

They can find their own way out, or they can stay if the new city lord is willing to accept them.

The remaining quarter was given to Garcia and his sister.

Ning Yun and the others had never heard of this name before and had no idea who he was.

But Willis's butler knew that the Garcia siblings came from the Garcia family, which was said to have had a glorious past.

But later, due to unforeseen circumstances, the family members dwindled, and now only a brother and sister remain.

For some reason, Adrian paid close attention to them and would secretly help them from time to time without letting them know.

Butler Willis never inquired into the city lord's secrets; he only followed orders.

The last quarter of the private property, plus the castle, all its furnishings and treasures, and the position of lord, will be inherited by the successor.

But who will succeed him?

Willis's butler was dejected after reading the will.

He had thought he would walk ahead of the city lord.

But the reality before him told him that the city lord was nearing his end.

Willis grew up in the city lord's mansion from childhood, serving two different lords. He had no wife or children, and although he never told anyone, he already regarded Lord Adrian as his own child.

Now, watching helplessly as his life slips away, Butler Willis is overwhelmed with grief, yet he tries his best to control his emotions.

Because he knew that after Adrian's death, there would definitely be a turbulent period.

Fortunately, after those nobles died, Mo City is now completely under Adrian's control.

His chosen successor will ensure a smooth transfer of power.

Based on Willis's understanding of the city lord, he had already guessed who it was.

Sure enough, after listening to the will, Lord Adrian looked at the group of young people in front of him.

“Originally, I was supposed to announce my successor in my will, but I felt that it would be more sincere for me to announce it myself.”

Sensing the approach of death, Adrian felt no fear, only an unprecedented anticipation.

He looked around and saw that some of them looked confused, some seemed thoughtful, and some were expressionless.

Only one pair of eyes were constantly watching him, extremely vigilant.

"I hereby announce that Ning Yun is the successor to Mo City."

As the last two words were spoken, everyone looked at Ning Yun.

Ning Yun wasn't very surprised; to be precise, she had a premonition.

But she still wanted to ask, "Why me? I probably won't stay here for long."

Although it is unknown in what form the so-called successor to Mocity will exist.

But this is nominally a copy, and she will eventually have to leave.

Therefore, she couldn't imagine how to manage Motown.

Lord Adrian had already thought of everything for her: "Willis has been with me for many years and is very familiar with everything in Mo City. He will be a very good assistant."

Actually, you don't need to stay in Motown all the time; you can just come back and visit from time to time.

I have only one condition.

Protect Mo City and build it into a peaceful and just city-state.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it myself.

Taking over a city-state was something Ning Yun really had no idea how to do.

Or rather, it was like a tangled ball of yarn, and she couldn't find the end of it.

She hesitated for a moment, then glanced around at the expressions of the people around her.

Adrian looked at her with eyes full of trust, while Willis, the butler, scrutinized her.

Captain Wei Hanchuan and Vice Captain Ji Jia exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly at her.

In the hidden instance, it is impossible to contact the outside world.

Otherwise, we could ask the Chinese leadership what they think.

Even though they couldn't contact the outside world, the two of them had already messaged Ning Yun, asking her to agree.

Clearly, they've come to realize that the outcome of a survival game is unpredictable.

If someone in China can control a city-state, it can become a refuge for China.

Leon looked surprised, Chen Yuanyuan was delighted, and the others all looked envious.

Ning Yun could feel the heavy burden on her shoulders.

But this time she did not back down or refuse.

"Okay, I agree."

If it's just about playing games, Ning Yun would prefer to be a casual gamer.

But now, she has no room to back down.

Even if there are difficulties and obstacles ahead, they, and she herself, must move forward.

Adrian laughed heartily, "Great!"

After saying this, he passed away with a smile on his face.
