Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 101

Chapter 101 The foster mother of Mosheng Fruit

Ada scolded Thor for his reckless behavior, but he himself seemed to be guilty, rubbing his hands back and forth, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were wandering.

“What happened just now? Why was the wizard present?” Looking at the anxious Ada, Thor was not angry, but just asked curiously.

“I told you not to be too curious. Curiosity is not a good thing here.”

At this time, someone suddenly interrupted Ada.

“If this skinny guy wants to settle down in the town and doesn’t know something, aren’t you afraid that he will accidentally offend someone and lose his life?”

Jayce walked out from under the eaves he was leaning against. He seemed to have been standing there just now, watching coldly.

He glanced at Thor and asked with a smile, “Do you have a sister?”

Thor shook his head, “I’m alone.”

“Oh, then don’t worry.” Jayce stretched out his hand, “Our Mofan Town has always relied on the Mosheng fruit to survive. But the Mosheng fruit is not easy to grow, and the yield always drops suddenly. In order to ensure the income of the town and to continue to seek the protection of the wizard tower, our respected, great, and beloved wizard will select a lovely girl every few years as the foster mother of the Mosheng fruit.”

“Foster mother?” Thor confirmed in surprise.

“Yes, foster mother. She has taken her life to feed a group of fruits. What else can she be but a foster mother?”

“How to raise them?”

Jayce’s face suddenly sank, and then quickly returned to an indifferent look.

“Who knows, that’s the wizard’s business, how can we have a chance to spy on it?”

If his face hadn’t suddenly become so ugly just now, Thor would probably believe it.

It seems that this foster mother is not easy to be.

“Does this happen every year? Then there are no girls in this town, how can we give birth in the future?” Thor continued to ask.

“It wasn’t frequent before, it only happened once every three or four years. It’s a bit more recently, this year is already the third one…” As Janis spoke, he fell there in deep thought.

Ada finally couldn’t listen anymore, and pulled Sol over and left.

“What are you talking about with him? He’s an old rogue, doing nothing all day long, taking advantage of people everywhere. If you follow him, you will learn bad things sooner or later.” Ada said naggingly.

“Ada, do you know about this foster mother thing?” Sol asked Ada in return.

After the two walked a few dozen meters, Ada stopped and turned to Sol and said, “Live here for a few years, you will know sooner or later. You don’t have to worry about it, you can’t control it. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, our town… depends on that holy fruit to survive.”

“Then do you know why the production of the Mosheng fruit has decreased?”

“How should I know? That’s the business of the big guys. You just need to take care of yourself.”

Thinking that Sol just wanted to wander around the town, Ada wanted to take him directly to work in the fields. But Sol secretly ran away halfway, making Ada so angry that he stamped his feet. He had to leave the town alone, as he still had a lot of work to do.

Sol, who ran away, did not go anywhere else, but returned to the place where he was just surrounded by the crowd.

At this time, most people had dispersed, and only those who had some relatives and liked to watch the fun stayed.

Several people surrounded the couple who were still crying and comforted them in turn.

Their words were all about letting them accept their fate and relax, and they would still have children.

As soon as Sol walked over, he saw Aunt Jenny, who had just persuaded the most vigorously, standing outside the crowd and watching coldly, but there was no hypocritical smile on her face.

It was like a stone sculpture standing in the middle of the street, just looking like a person.

Sol walked over and coughed twice to attract Aunt Jenny’s attention.

The latter turned around and saw that it was Sol, and her face immediately smiled and breathed again.

“Aren’t you the young man who came back with Ada yesterday? Why did you run to the street by yourself?” She began to look Sol up and down again.

“I just came to Mofan Town and wanted to walk around and find some work.” Thor answered casually, and then asked, “Aunt Jenny, what happened just now? Why is there a wizard apprentice?”

“What apprentice or not, you have to call me wizard master.” Aunt Jenny made an exaggerated gesture to silence, but her voice was not small.

Then, she began to tell Thor about the traditions of Mofan Town with a beaming face.

Mofan Town was originally just a poor town, with a population and area less than one-tenth of what it is now.

But one day, two passing wizards discovered the wild Mosheng fruit here and decided to settle here.

After their efforts, they successfully expanded the production of Mosheng fruit and became the main source of local economy.

With the help of Mosheng fruit, Mofan Town successfully became a vassal of a very powerful wizard organization in the distance, in exchange for a lot of materials they needed, and also brought wealth and materials to Mofan Town. After Mofan Town

prospered a little bit, it was renamed Mofan Town.

But after all, this place is located on the border. After the relationship between Kema and Knath Principality deteriorated, the living environment suddenly became much worse.

The chaos in the fortress caused most of the troops in Mofan Town to be transferred to Mobian City, and the defense here suddenly became much weaker.

In addition, a group of barbarians who came from nowhere would send a few people to attack from time to time, which eventually led to a decrease in the production of Mosheng fruit year by year, and the number of tributes could not be guaranteed.

In order to increase production and continue to obtain protection, the wizard had to increase the frequency of using pure girls to nourish Mosheng fruit.

“But doesn’t that wizard organization protect Mofan Town? Why don’t you ask them to come and wipe out the barbarians?”

Thor heard from Nick that the wizard tower would send third-level apprentices to regularly take the mature Mosheng fruit. Couldn’t they just wipe out the barbarians?

You know, ordinary barbarians are only physically stronger than ordinary people.

Facing wizards, they are still nothing.

“This…” Aunt Jenny couldn’t say, “I don’t know about this. Anyway, the barbarians usually go to the villages in the suburbs. Usually, we don’t know where they hide. It’s probably hard to catch them.”

Aunt Jenny said, her eyes shifted to the couple who were helped back to the room by everyone.

“Don’t worry about staying here. As long as there is no problem with the Mosheng fruit, there will be no problem with Mofan Town!” She said word by word.

After that, Aunt Jenny turned around and warmly invited Thor to her house, but her eyes looked a little strange.

Thor got the information he wanted and threw Aunt Jenny away without any hesitation.

“Thank you, Aunt Jenny. I’ll go find a job. I don’t have any money now.” Thor laughed and ran away.

Aunt Jenny was stunned, glared and cursed, but she didn’t look angry.

Thor ran in the street with small steps, and the shops and street scenes on both sides came into view.

Although this town is not particularly prosperous, the people walking on the street look particularly peaceful and happy.

Even the old man sitting on the street in tattered clothes can sit on the stone steps and talk and laugh with the shop owner behind him about what to eat in the evening.

This seems to be a town where there is no need to worry about the future.

After all, they have the grinding fruit.

Thor walked around the town, listened, and finally returned to the courtyard where Ada lived at noon.

There was a woman in the courtyard who was carrying a wooden basin and walking out. She looked up and saw Thor, and was startled. She turned around and went back into the house with the basin.

The door slammed shut, as if Thor was a monster.

Thor quickly looked down at his hands. The effect of the magic trick did not disappear. Why was the other party panicking?

Ignoring the panicked woman, Sol turned left and entered the old madman’s room.

The old madman fell asleep after returning last night. When he left this morning, Ada dragged Sol away in a hurry and he didn’t have time to come over.

Now when Sol came in, he found that the old madman was no longer in the room.

The things in the house were in a mess, even messier than when Sol sent someone in yesterday. It seemed that someone had deliberately turned them over, and some things were missing.

Sol touched his chin: “He ran pretty fast.”
