New Gods of North America

In the "other history" that Wayne was not too familiar with,

He had the impression that the North and South of the Lighthouse Country had been arguing for decades over the issue of the legality of slavery.

During this period, as the two sides took turns in power and gained and lost strength, various bills that contradicted each other were introduced.

And the American Federation of this world,

The one adopted was the one-step Autonomy Act.

That is to say, whether the newly established state will become a "free state" or a "slave state" will be determined only by a referendum of residents when the state is officially established.

There were no so-called "slave lines" in the other world.

Although the timelines of the two worlds are obviously different,

But the development of history must always have a similar basic process, right?

The gold rush hasn't even started yet, so why are people suddenly talking about "freeing the slaves"? !

So Wayne thought about it for a while.

Then, looking at the other person's unfamiliar face, he suddenly reacted.

Kansas State officially established.

For those who are aiming at politics, it is a very crucial and important matter.

This kind of news,

The mayor probably won't hide it from Wayne. Instead, he will most likely mobilize Wayne to help him canvass votes in advance.

So if the mayor received the news through his powerful friends and then passed it on to Wayne in time,

That's probably pretty close to the truth.

But now,

Wayne was actually in the pub,

Hearing a stranger casually say such important information,

The other party also specifically pointed out the key word "prohibition of slavery".

Then the answer is obvious:

——Someone is spreading the news in advance.

I guess it was the big slave owners.

We believe that Kansas State will be officially established within one or two years, and we have already started making corresponding preparations.

In the West, where newspapers cannot be widely circulated in a timely manner,

There is no better way to spread one-sided news than to send people to the taverns in every small town.

It can influence public opinion even more.

So Wayne smiled and chatted with the other party for a while.

As expected, the other party enumerated to him the various benefits of slavery.

For example, with slaves, free people no longer need to do the hard farm work; the rights and status of free people can be higher than those of slaves; and there is no need to worry about slaves spreading heretical beliefs such as voodoo by relying on their numbers.

Anyway, I said a lot of blah blah.

Don't tell me.

After listening to his nonsense,

Even Wayne felt a little moved.

Then Wayne thought about it and felt that he should give back his "heartbeat" to the other party.

So he moved a little closer to the stranger.

At the same time, he lowered his voice:

"I have a secret message here too. I'm telling you this because you're treating us to a drink.

"You may not have heard yet? Someone has discovered gold mines in California and Nevada on the west coast."

As expected, the other party was immediately moved:

"Gold mine?!"

"Shh!"

Wayne raised his index finger to his lips and said, "It might be a big gold mine. It is said that if you sift the sand in the riverbed of the river next to it, you can find gold sand.

"If you don't believe me, just stay in the town for a few more days. I heard that someone has brought back a whole box of nugget gold, and the quality is very good. He has become rich overnight."

Then, while the other person's eyes were flickering,

Wayne patted the other person on the shoulder with a serious expression:

“This news is still a secret, and I won’t tell anyone.

"You must also remember to keep it a secret. Otherwise, there will be too many people going to pan for gold, and we won't have a chance to make a fortune."

…

After seeing that the other party was obviously moved,

Wayne finished his glass of watered-down whiskey, offered the next customer a drink, and then left the pub with Lina.

Then Wayne and Lina went home separately.

He even took a long detour.

However, no one came to attack him.

Even Inissa, who arrived home last, shook her head, indicating that no one was following Wayne.

cut,

The voice that whispered in Wayne's ear before clearly said "I found you\

,"As a result, Wayne walked for half the night.

Where are the people?

In such a big country like America, are there no honest people?

So everyone lined up to boil water in disappointment.

After finally taking a shower, Wayne took a sip of holy water to aid digestion and was about to go to bed for a good night's sleep.

The spiritual intuition suddenly responded.

The vision of simple lines opens up,

Several "little dots" outlined by lines flew closer and landed in a row on the railing of the balcony outside through the window.

It felt like a flock of birds.

However, their shapes are outlined by short, discontinuous lines.

Wayne sighed a little when he saw this.

Blackrock Town is so big, you have to pick a fight with my family, right?

Silently took the revolver and the holy water bottle and placed them beside him,

Start getting dressed.

Wayne had just pulled up his pants.

Over there a flock of dead birds started flying against the windows.

First there was a "crash" sound, and the leading black bird directly broke through the glass.

Then there was a series of crashing sounds.

A large group of black people suddenly rushed towards Wayne.

These things looked like crows that had been dead for ten days or half a month - probably, since they were covered in black hair anyway - their bones were already exposed in some places, some were still dripping with juice, and they had a foul odor of decay on them.

"Bang!"

Wayne fired one shot first, but found that it was not effective.

At this time, he had nothing else at hand, so he put the pistol behind his waist.

Then he turned up the quilt.

Just put the dead birds in there.

They are quite strong and can even struggle and push up the quilt again and again.

Then Wayne stomped hard on the floor beside the bed through the quilt and swung the pillow continuously to drive away the remaining dead birds that wanted to peck at his head.

These dead birds were blown everywhere, but they quickly leaped back and fought back.

Taking the opportunity, he unscrewed the holy water bottle and poured it into his mouth.

After that, Wayne sprayed directly at the dead birds that fluttered towards him again, and then hit them one by one with a pillow.

The holy water steamed up over the dead birds.

Wayne took another spurt, injected spiritual power into the bottle in his hand, and smashed it hard on the bulging quilt.

He didn't care to see whether the bottle "popped" or not.

He dodged a dead bird that wanted to peck at his eyes and reached out to grab another bottle of spare holy water.

I saw three dead birds swooping down towards me at the same time.

Wayne's body flashed to the door.

Pull the door open.

There were several consecutive "bang bang bang" sounds from inside.

Luckily these dead birds can’t just break through the door…

Wayne just thought of this,

Suddenly I felt something hitting my ear.

He just tilted his head,

A dead bird that had been hit and flown out of the door at some point flew past his face.

Wayne immediately felt the stinging pain of his skin being cut on his face.

Just then, Inissa and Lina heard the noise and came over with their friends.

Then they saw Wayne grab the dead bird with his backhand.

"Click" twist,

Then he fell to the floor.

Angry.

That guy just has to play it this way, right?

OK.
