Chapter 104 (Mill Sail Town Drama) Enough Awareness
Shelly thought back to the barbarian priest that he had met a few times before.

The other party’s sometimes crazy and sometimes lucid appearance made him, an apprentice sorcerer, secretly alarmed.

Perhaps that priest’s sanity had reached the brink of collapse before he tried to stabilize his state with the Sound Grinding Fruit.

“You don’t need to know about that, the sorcerer world’s affairs, the more you, an ordinary person, know, the faster you’ll die.”

“Yes, yes.” Even though his curiosity wasn’t satisfied, Rupert didn’t dare to continue pursuing the question.

At this time, a soldier brought in five Sound Grinding Fruits, Shelly let him put the Sound Grinding Fruits on the ground and waved his hand to let people go out.

As Mayor Ruper left, he heard Shelly’s anxious urging again.

“Hurry up and get a girl, clean, and send her here before morning!”

“Yes, yes!” Ruper bowed again and again, reaching out to close the gate.

When he turned back he saw the soldier who had delivered the fruit standing stiffly at the top of the stairs, his head dead lowered, staring only at his toes, not daring to glance around.

The soldiers who could come here were all close friends of the town mayor.

Rupert walked over and patted the soldier’s shoulder, “It’s nothing, it’s just a little scary here, just get used to it.”

The soldier’s stiff face pulled out an ugly smile.

He had also participated in the remodeling of the tower, opening up all the ground on the first and second floors, leaving only a wooden staircase that swung down against the four walls of the tower.

The two of them walked down the staircase one after the other, and on the walls around them, a hideous face was drawn.

If the soldiers were bold enough to look closely, I’m afraid they would still be able to spot familiar facial features among those faces.

Although Rupert told the soldier not to be afraid, in reality, he was completely afraid to look at those patterns on the walls even as he descended the stairs.

It always felt like something really bad would happen if he stared for too long.

And just as the Level 1 Sorcerer Apprentices of Mill Sail Town were thinking of ways to advance in order to get rid of the barbarians’ depredations, the object of their defense, the group of barbarians, welcomed an unexpected guest this night.

This group of barbarians roaming the border of the Kemah Duchy and the Knares Duchy were huffing and puffing.

They were either relying on rocks or lying directly on the ground.

There was no one to light a campfire or keep a lookout.

If someone attacked at night?

Then just get up and fuck him.

And in the center of the group of savages was a tent pitched askew.

Around the tent, several bodies were staked through and nailed to the ground.

Those bodies were all roughly split open in public, and the same person’s body would be threaded through the stakes one against the other.

This was their peculiar sacrificial rite.

At that moment a pair of feet fell softly on the ground outside the tent, and none of the savages who slept on the ground around them awoke to discover the commotion.

The owner of that pair of feet little by little appeared in the dark night, looking at the corpses around the tent, he frowned with some disgust.

He then passed between the two halves of the corpses, and with one hand lifted the curtain of the tent and went in.

The barbarian who was sitting in the tent meditating on the great leader snapped his eyes open and took a defensive stance.

But he stopped moving and sat back down again after seeing the visitor.

“You came earlier than, the appointed time, and I haven’t gotten the fruit yet.” That barbarian priest gave a lurch and spat out the universal language.

The visitor towered over the barbarian priest and did not reply to the barbarian priest’s words, but said stiffly, “Kima’s Kira sorceress has advanced to the second stage, she’s prepared to personally take action to clean up the stray bandits on Kima’s borders, and you’re in the scope of her cleanup as well.”

The barbarian priest’s face was painted with black and red symbols, hiding the changes in his expression. But one could tell from the twitching muscles that he was not calm.

“Second order sorcerer …… we, must, leave.” The priest was one of the few among the barbarians who still had some sanity left.

“Migration, requires, food.” The priest looked up to the sorcerer.

“That will require you to figure out on your own.” The sorcerer looked disdainful and turned around, ready to leave.

After taking two steps, the sorcerer stopped again, “By the way, clean up Mill Sail Town.”

The priest looked up in confusion, “You, the Wizard’s Tower, don’t want the fruit?”

The sorcerer half-sidled his head, his tone icy, “Just do it.”

As if he didn’t understand the wizard’s threat, the barbarian priest simply stated, “Yes, Bill, my lord.”

“Hmph, threatening me?” Wizard Bill snorted coldly and exited the tent.

Only after the sorcerer left did the barbarian priest stand up with one hand on the ground.

He took the wooden staff that stood leaning to the side, bit his finger, and wiped it on the top of the staff.

There were already several bloodstains on the top of the staff, each one clear and vivid.

“The Great Leader is with us.”

The priest tapped the ground with the wooden staff, and an invisible wave of air spread out with the staff as its center. Outside the tent, one by one, the barbarians who were still sleeping shook their heads and stood up.

At this moment, the barbarian priest walked out from the tent, his hands raised high and his wooden staff held horizontally.

“Migration!”

“Roar!”

“KILL!!!”

“ROAR!”

“Roar! Roar!”

If the first command was only met with a response, the second was met with an enthusiastic and unparalleled outpouring of support.

The Barbarian Priest nodded with satisfaction as he saw that all of the barbarians were in high spirits and warlike.

He raised his eyes and took a moment to discern the direction.

“Mill Sail Town, this time, kill them all!”

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

“Roar! Roar!”

……

Around five in the morning.

It’s dusk, and all around it’s still dim.

Inside the room, the meditating Saul suddenly felt someone approaching and opened his eyes.

Immediately afterward, the door to the small courtyard was pounded on relentlessly.

No matter what house one slept in, it took a little while from waking up in alarm to getting up and going forward to open the door.

However, the person outside was not willing to wait even this little bit of time.

“Bam dang dang!”

With a loud bang, the courtyard door was directly pushed down.

It was then that Ada rubbed her eyes and stepped out of bed.

“What kind of person is this early? Holy shit, the door!”

Incredulously, he rushed out of the hut, and in the next moment realized that the group of men who had rushed into the small courtyard were coming straight towards his house, led by none other than Jeff, the captain of the town’s soldiers.

Many scenes of which he had been immensely afraid flashed through Ada’s mind in an instant. Yet inwardly he resisted the answers.

Penny was so young that she was not fit to be the adoptive mother of the Sound Grinding Fruit, and she was still blind, not exactly a pure and beautiful maiden.

“Maybe it’s something else, maybe it’s coming for me.” Ada kept praying in her mind.

However things always turned out for the worst.

Captain Jeff led the way to Ada and watched as a slight confusion and awe flashed across the other man’s half-grown child’s face.

But his face was expressionless, his mouth opened and he spat out the most merciless of words icily, “Ada, your sister Penny has been chosen to be a sacrifice for the Fruit of the Ground Sound. Now we come to take her away.”

Saul, still seated at the table, frowned slightly and turned his head to the large cabinet on the wooden bed.

And the door of the large cabinet was gently pushed open, revealing Penny’s small, slightly bewildered face.

And outside the room, Ada still couldn’t believe what was in front of her.

He walked over and took Captain Jeff’s arm, “Captain Jeff, didn’t you just elect someone yesterday, yesterday? How come we’re letting Penny go again today?”

Ada was trying to find every reason he could to keep Penny out of the election.

“Penny she’s blind and she’s only seven, she’s too young, aren’t there so many other girls in town?”

Captain Jeff looked at Ada wordlessly.

Could he say that this town could not, for a moment, even find a suitable one for a young girl?

So at the dead weight of the mayor, he thought of Penny, the poor girl who hardly ever came out of the cottage.

Probably only Ada, still naive enough to think that blind Penny wouldn’t win the election.

How could he have known that the Sorcerer’s Grand Master didn’t care about appearances when it came to choosing people?

“Ada,” Captain Jeff spoke in a deep voice, “you’ve lived in the town for four years now. The town has fed and sheltered you for these four years, keeping you away from the pain of wandering disasters, and now, it’s time for you to pay for the town. The production of the Grinding Sound Fruit has drastically decreased, and we must sacrifice another person. I hope you’re aware enough not to let me make a move on you.”

I didn’t realize that there was a segment of the reader’s lordship that disliked the spinoff plot so much. But this spinoff is actually the unfolding of the entire main Wizard’s Tower storyline. I think maybe it’s because I don’t want to read about the lives of ordinary people? I’ll mark in front of the chapter title that it’s the Mill Sail Town plot, so if you don’t like it you can skip it and wait two days.
