Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 104
Chapter 104 (Mofan Town Story) Sufficient Awareness
Shelly recalled the barbarian priest whom he had met several times.
The other party’s sometimes crazy and sometimes sober appearance made him, a wizard apprentice, secretly frightened.
Perhaps the priest’s sanity has reached the edge of collapse, so he wants to use the grinding fruit to stabilize his state.
“You don’t need to know this. The more you know about the wizard 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 grinding fruits. Shelly asked him to put the grinding fruits on the ground and waved his hand to let people go out.
When Mayor Rupert left, he heard Shelly’s anxious urging again.
“Hurry up and find a girl, clean, and send it over before tomorrow morning!”
“Yes, yes!” Rupert bowed again and again, reaching out to close the door.
When he turned around, he saw the soldier who delivered the fruit standing stiffly at the stairs, lowering his head tightly, staring at his toes, and not daring to look around.
The soldiers who can come here are all the mayor’s confidants.
Rupert 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. He opened 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 painted hideous faces.
If the soldier had the courage to look carefully, he might find familiar facial features in those faces.
Although Rupert told the soldier not to be afraid, he actually didn’t dare to look at the patterns on the wall when he went downstairs. He
always felt that if he stared at it for too long, something bad would happen.
While the first-level wizard apprentices in Mofan Town were trying to get promoted to get rid of the plunder of the barbarians, their target of defense, the group of barbarians, welcomed an unexpected guest tonight.
This group of barbarians who roamed at the junction of the Principality of Kma and the Principality of Knas were snoring.
They were either leaning against rocks or lying directly on the ground.
No one lit a bonfire, and no one kept sentry.
What if someone attacked at night?
Just get up and kill him.
In the center of this group of barbarians, there was a crooked tent.
Around the tent, several corpses were pierced by wooden stakes and nailed to the ground.
Those corpses were all roughly chopped up in public, and the corpse of the same person would be pierced on the wooden stakes one in front of the other.
This is their unique sacrificial ritual.
At this time, a pair of feet landed gently on the ground outside the tent, and none of the barbarians sleeping on the ground around them noticed the movement and woke up.
The owner of the feet gradually appeared in the dark, and looking at the corpses around the tent, he frowned with some disgust.
Then, he passed between the two halves of the corpse, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
The barbarian who was sitting in the tent meditating on the chieftain suddenly opened his eyes and took a defensive posture.
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.
The man looked down at the barbarian priest and did not answer him. Instead, he said stiffly, “Kima’s Kira wizard has advanced to the second level. She is ready 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 cover his expression. But from his twitching muscles, it can be seen that he was not calm.
“Second-level wizard… We must leave.” The priest was one of the few barbarians who still had some rationality.
“Migration requires food.” The priest looked up and said to the wizard.
“You need to figure it out yourself.” The wizard showed disdain and turned to leave.
After walking 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 half turned his head and said in a cold tone, “Just do it.”
The barbarian priest seemed not to understand the wizard’s threat, but just stated: “Okay, Bill, sir.”
“Huh, threatening me?” Wizard Bill snorted coldly and left the tent.
After the wizard left, the barbarian priest stood up with one hand.
He took the wooden stick standing beside him, bit his finger, and wiped the top of the stick.
There were already several blood marks on the top of the stick, each of which was clear and bright.
“The big leader is with us.”
The priest knocked the ground with the wooden stick, and an invisible air wave spread out with the wooden stick as the center.
Outside the tent, the barbarians who were still sleeping shook their heads and stood up.
At this time, the barbarian priest walked out of the tent, his hands raised high, holding a wooden staff horizontally.
“Migrate!”
“Roar!” “
Kill!!!”
“Roar!”
“Roar! Roar!”
If the first command was only responded to, the second one received enthusiastic support.
Seeing that all the barbarians were in high spirits and high-spirited, the barbarian priest nodded with satisfaction.
He looked around and took a while to figure out the direction.
“Mofan Town, this time, kill them all!”
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
“Roar! Roar!”
…
Around five in the morning.
It was dawn, and it was still dark all around.
In the room, Thor, who was meditating, suddenly felt someone approaching and opened his eyes.
Then, the gate of the courtyard was knocked mercilessly and violently.
No matter which room the people were sleeping in, it would take some time from waking up to getting up to opening the door.
But the people outside were not willing to wait even for this little bit of time.
“Bangdangdang!”
With a loud noise, the gate of the courtyard was pushed down directly.
At this time, Ada rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.
“Who is here so early? Damn, the door!”
He rushed out of the hut in disbelief, and the next moment he found that the group of people who rushed into the yard were actually walking straight towards his house, led by the captain of the town soldiers, Jeff.
Many scenes that he had been extremely afraid of flashed through Ada’s mind in an instant. But his heart was resisting these answers.
Penny was so young that she was not suitable to be the adoptive mother of Moshengguo. Moreover, she was blind and could not be considered a pure and beautiful girl.
“Maybe there are other reasons, maybe they are 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 seeing the confusion and fear on the other’s half-grown face, a trace of pity flashed in 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 going to take her away.”
Thor, who was still sitting on the table, frowned slightly and turned to look at the big cabinet on the wooden bed.
The door of the big cabinet was gently pushed open, revealing Penny’s slightly 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 you just choose someone yesterday? Why did you let Penny go again today?”
Ada was trying to find all the reasons that could make Penny lose the election.
“Penny is blind, and she is only seven years old. She is too young. Aren’t there so many girls in the town?”
Captain Jeff looked at Ada silently.
Can he say that this town can’t find a suitable girl for a while?
So under the mayor’s order, he thought of Penny, the poor girl who hardly left the hut.
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 selecting people.
“Ada,” Captain Jeff said in a deep voice, “You have lived in this town for four years. In these four years, the town has provided you with food and shelter, and kept you away from the suffering of wandering and disasters. Now, it’s time for you to pay back for the town. The production of Mosheng Fruit has dropped sharply, and we must sacrifice another person. I hope you can be aware enough and don’t let me do anything to you.”
I didn’t expect that some readers don’t like to watch the side storyline. But this side storyline is actually the development of the main storyline of the entire wizard tower. I think maybe you don’t want to see the lives of ordinary people? I will mark the Mofan Town storyline in front of the chapter name. If you don’t like it, you can skip it and wait for two days.
