Chapter 104 (Mofan Town Plot) Sufficient Awareness
Shelly recalled the barbarian priest whom he had met several times before.
The other party's sometimes crazy and sometimes sober appearance made him, an apprentice wizard, secretly frightened.
Perhaps the priest's sanity had reached the brink of collapse, so he wanted to use the Mosheng Fruit to stabilize his condition.
"You don't need to know this. As an ordinary person like you, the more you know about the wizarding world, the faster you will die."
"Yes, yes." Although his curiosity was not satisfied, Rupert did not dare to ask further.
At this time, a soldier brought five Mosheng fruits. Shelly asked him to put the Mosheng fruits on the ground and waved his hand to let everyone go out.
As Mayor Rupert left, he heard Shelly's anxious urging again.
"Hurry up and find a girl, a clean one, and send her here before tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, yes!" Rupert bowed again and reached out to close the door.
When he turned around, he saw the soldier who delivered the fruit standing stiffly at the stairs, with his head lowered, staring at his toes, not daring to look around.
The soldiers who can come here are all the mayor's confidants.
Lupo walked over and patted the soldier on the shoulder. "It's nothing. It just looks a little scary here. You'll get used to it."
The soldier's stiff face forced an ugly smile.
He also participated in the renovation of the tower, opening up the first and second floors, leaving only a wooden staircase that spiraled down along the four walls of the tower.
The two walked down the stairs one after the other. On the walls around them, there were paintings of hideous faces.
If the soldiers were brave enough to look carefully, they might be able to find familiar features in those faces.
Although Rupert told the soldiers not to be afraid, he actually didn't dare to look at the patterns on the wall when he went downstairs.
I always feel that if I stare at it for too long, something bad will happen.
While the first-level wizard apprentices in Mofan Town were trying to find ways to get promoted in order to escape the plundering of the barbarians, the group of barbarians whom they were guarding against welcomed an unexpected guest tonight.
This group of barbarians roaming at the border between the Principality of Kma and the Principality of Knas are sleeping soundly.
They were either leaning against the rocks or lying directly on the ground.
No one lit a bonfire and no one kept watch.
What if someone attacks at night?
Then just get up and fuck him.
And in the center of this group of savages, there was a crooked tent.
Around the tent, several bodies were pinned to the ground with wooden stakes.
The bodies were all roughly hacked open in public, with the same person's body impaled on a stake, both upside down and right side up.
This is their unique sacrificial ritual.
At this moment, a pair of feet gently landed on the ground outside the tent, but none of the barbarians sleeping on the ground around them noticed the movement and woke up.
The owner of the pair of feet gradually appeared in the darkness. Looking at the corpses around the tent, he frowned with disgust.
Then he walked between the two halves of the corpse, pulled open the tent curtain and walked in.
The barbarian who was sitting in the tent meditating on his chieftain suddenly opened his eyes and took a defensive stance.
But when he saw the person coming, he stopped and sat back down.
"You came earlier than the agreed time, and I haven't got the fruit yet." The barbarian priest spoke in the common language, paused.
The visitor looked down at the barbarian priest and did not answer him. Instead, he said in a stern voice, "Kema's Kira wizard has advanced to the second level. She is going to personally clean up the bandits on the border of Kema. You are also within her scope of cleanup."
The barbarian priest had black and red symbols painted on his face to hide his expression, but from his twitching muscles, he was not calm.
"Second-level wizard... We must leave." The priest was one of the few barbarians who still had some sense.
"Migration requires food." The priest looked up and said to the wizard.
"You'll need to figure it out on yourselves." The wizard looked disdainful and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, the wizard stopped again, "By the way, clean up Mofan Town."
The priest looked up in confusion, "You, the wizard tower, don't want fruit?"
The wizard turned his head halfway and said in a cold tone, "Just do as I tell you."
The barbarian priest seemed not to understand the wizard's threat and just stated, "Yes, Bill, sir."
"Hmph, threatening me?" Wizard Bill snorted coldly and walked out of the tent.
After the wizard left, the barbarian priest stood up with one hand.
He took the wooden stick that was leaning against the side, bit his finger, and wiped the top of the stick.
There were already several blood marks on the top of the wooden stick, each one clear and bright.
"The big boss is with us."
The priest knocked the ground with his wooden staff, and an invisible air wave spread out from the center of the staff.
Outside the tent, the barbarians who were still sleeping shook their heads and stood up one by one.
At this time, the barbarian priest walked out of the tent, with his hands raised high and a wooden staff held horizontally.
“Migrate!”
"roar!"
“Kill!!!”
"roar!"
“Roar! Roar!”
If the first command only received a response, the second one received enthusiastic support.
Seeing that all the barbarians were in high spirits and eager to fight, the barbarian priest nodded with satisfaction.
He looked around and took a moment to get his bearings.
"Mofan Town, this time, kill them all!"
"roar!"
"roar!"
“Roar! Roar!”
…
Around five in the morning.
It was daybreak and everything was still dark.
In the room, Thor, who was meditating, suddenly felt someone approaching and opened his eyes.
Immediately, the gate of the courtyard was knocked on mercilessly and violently.
No matter which room the person sleeps in, it takes some time for them to wake up, get up, and open the door.
But the people outside were not willing to wait even for a short period of time.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the gate of the courtyard was pushed down.
Only then did Ada rub his eyes and get out of bed.
"Who's here so early? Damn, the door!"
He rushed out of the hut in disbelief, and the next moment he discovered that the group of people who rushed into the yard were actually walking straight towards his house, led by none other than Jeff, the captain of the town's soldiers.
Many scenes that he was extremely afraid of flashed through Ada's mind, but he was resisting these answers in his heart.
Penny was so young that she was not suitable to be Moshengguo's adoptive mother. Besides, she was blind and could not be considered a pure and beautiful girl.
"Maybe there are other reasons, maybe he is here to find me." Ada kept praying in his heart.
However, things always develop towards the worst outcome.
Captain Jeff led his men to Ada, and looking at the half-grown boy's face showing a bit of confusion and fear, a trace of pity flashed through his heart.
But there was no expression on his face. He opened his mouth and uttered the most ruthless words coldly, "Ada, your sister Penny has been chosen to be the sacrifice of the grinding fruit. Now we are here to take her away."
Thor, who was still sitting at the table, frowned slightly and turned to look at the large cabinet on the wooden bed.
The door of the big cabinet was gently pushed open, revealing Penny's somewhat confused little face.
Outside the house, Ada still couldn't believe what he saw.
He walked over and took Captain Jeff's arm, "Captain Jeff, didn't we just select someone yesterday? Why did you let Penny go again today?"
Ada was trying to find every reason to make Penny lose the election.
"Penny is blind, and she's only seven years old. She's too young. Aren't there so many other girls in this town?"
Captain Jeff looked at Ada silently.
Could he say that it was impossible to find a suitable girl in this small town at the moment?
So under the mayor's order, he thought of Penny, the poor girl who hardly left the cottage.
Perhaps only Ada naively thought that the blind Penny would not be chosen.
How could he know that the wizard didn't care about appearance when choosing people.
"Ada," Captain Jeff said in a deep voice, "You have lived in this town for four years. During these four years, the town has provided you with food and shelter, and kept you away from the sufferings of wandering and disasters. Now, it is time for you to give back to the town. The production of the Mosheng fruit has dropped sharply, and we must sacrifice another person. I hope you can be aware enough and not let me do anything to you."
I didn't expect that some readers don't like to read the side story. But this side story is actually the development of the main story of the whole wizard tower. I think it may be because they don't want to see the lives of ordinary people? I will mark the Mofan Town story in front of the chapter name. If you don't like it, you can skip it and wait for two days.
