Chapter 100: For the Town
Sol looked around, found an empty cupboard and hid in it.
There was no food or grain in the cupboard, it was obviously just a decoration to hide it from others.
Sol shrunk and sat inside.
In order to prevent the fluctuation of mental power from causing alertness below, he did not even meditate, but just counted the cracks in the cabinet door to pass the time.
After about two or three hours, the secret door behind the stove was finally opened, and two people climbed out.
Listening to the footsteps, there were two people.
They were still talking as they walked out.
"...I'll leave it to you tomorrow."
"Don't worry, as long as there are a lot of things, those are all trivial matters." "
It's just that the guy will be back in two days."
"It doesn't matter."
"Yes, congratulations, sir." Already."
The footsteps of the two people gradually faded away, and Sol Cat was confused in the cupboard.
What are they talking about?
When others eavesdrop, don’t they easily hear key information?
Why he listened to a lonely.
But after thinking about it, Saul realized that it was not completely without gain.
Something should happen tomorrow.
One party resolves the incident and the other party gets paid.
There is another thing worthy of congratulations.
Sol waited for a while, but when no one came back, he ran out of the cabinet.
Maybe it was because the first two people had gone far away. He didn't see anyone else outside the house, and even the guards who were guarding him had withdrawn.
Sol walked around to the clearing where the moseng fruit was planted, and before dawn, he turned around and rushed back to Ada's residence.
After a busy day, Ada fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know from beginning to end that his tenant stayed out all night before returning.
Ada got up early the next morning to light a fire and cook, and called Sol to help.
The rice is very simple, just the most common green steamed buns and wild vegetables.
The earthen stove is in the house, and the firewood is burning, and there are fireworks.
They left a lunch meal for Penny and hurried out.
But what Saul didn't expect was that Ada actually refused to take him to the town to look for work.
"I saw yesterday that you were quite strong. Why don't you go farm with me for the mayor? There is little land here, so it's a good job. After you work for two years, you can build a small house outside the town."
Sol immediately shook his head and refused, saying that he couldn't do it.
Ada asked Sol: "Then what do you know? In fact, there is not much shortage of workers in the town."
Sol didn't say anything, just wanted to walk around the town by himself.
Ada felt that Sol just didn't want to farm, and she was unhappy, but she didn't say anything.
He took Saul to neighborhoods where he could recruit workers.
"Anyway, I'm just going to take you to the place. It's up to you whether you can find a job or not. I'm going to dig the ground later."
But before the two of them reached the place where workers were being recruited, they encountered a scene of excitement.
They came to a fairly regular street and saw a house full of people.
People stood on three levels inside and three outside, which made Thor realize that there was still a large population in this place.
There were cries from the crowd, and Ada, who originally had no intention of watching the excitement, looked over with fear, and pulled Thor to get out of here quickly.
Sol felt that this matter was not as simple as ordinary excitement.
He relied on his thinness and strength to squeeze into the innermost part of the crowd.
Ada wanted to go to Rasol, but found that the other party disappeared in a flash.
He was embarrassed to squeeze in, so he stood on tiptoes and looked in, his brows still furrowed tightly and a little irritated.
"If it weren't for your strength..." He muttered, wondering if he regretted taking Sol home.
At this time, Sol, who had squeezed in, finally saw the reason for the excitement.
At the center of the crowd was a weeping couple.
Next to him, there was an old man with a few strands of white hair on his head, who was consoling him with a smile.
Captain Jeff, whom he had met yesterday, was holding the scimitar at his waist with an expressionless face, standing opposite the couple.
Behind Jeff, two soldiers were holding a girl who was so limp that she couldn't even stand up.
The girl looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old and was wearing a blue fine plaid skirt. Among ordinary people, she is quite beautiful.
Diagonally across from Thor, a man wearing a black robe and a hood stood upright with his hands on his sleeves.
There was a large area around him, with no townspeople watching the excitement.
"Oh, what do I need to say to you to understand that this is related to the survival of the town after all, and it's not a bad thing!" said the old man who comforted the crying couple.
Sol looked at the couple who were crying and lying on the ground, and then at the girl who looked frightened and helpless. He really couldn't imagine what would be a good thing.
But the people watching around obviously didn’t think so.
A woman carrying a basket shouted unhappily: "Why are you crying? That is a major event for the entire town. If I had a daughter now, I would definitely send her there happily." Saul
recognized She is Aunt Jenny who was extremely enthusiastic yesterday.
The crying woman put down her hands covering her face and said sadly: "But we only have one daughter, Minnie!"
Someone next to her immediately answered, "Isn't it okay to have another daughter in the future? Is it because of your daughter? The whole town?"
As soon as these words came out, people nearby started talking, all accusing the couple of being selfish and cruel.
The couple was so overwhelmed by the atmosphere that they couldn't say anything for a while.
The old man patted the man on the shoulder, with a smile on his face.
"Do you agree? Just agree. I don't want to force anyone. But only Minnie best meets the requirements of the wizard. This is her honor and the honor of our town. After all, the Holy Fruit is related to the entire town. If we continue to reduce production and draw the wrath of the Wizard Tower, all of us will not survive."
The old man said this well. As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him began to blame the couple for ignoring everyone's lives.
Could it be that the lives and deaths of a whole town are no better than that of a little girl?
The wife was speechless and could only collapse on the ground and cry sadly.
The husband’s legs weakened and he knelt on the ground. He got the courage from nowhere, took the old man’s hand and shouted: “But mayor, we have sacrificed so many girls over the years, and we haven’t seen the production of the holy fruit recover! Is this the method..."
Halfway through the man's words, the wizard apprentice who had been standing silently snorted.
This cold snort was so serious that the performer in the center of the stage and all the spectators around him unconsciously covered their ears.
The two townspeople closest to the man even had bloodshot eyes flowing from their ears.
Thor followed the people around him and covered his ears, but he rolled his eyes after lowering his head.
"The effects of this coughing technique are too scattered. Doesn't he know how to use his mental power to guide him?"
The best performer on the scene was Captain Jeff. But he also had a distorted look on his face, and he could only resist covering his ears with his hands.
This shock silenced everyone present, and even the couple did not dare to cry loudly.
So the girl was crushed away, leaving only a bag of money for the couple.
After the excitement passed, the crowd refused to disperse for a long time.
Someone came up to comfort them, saying that at least the mayor had given them some compensation, and they wouldn't have to worry about their livelihood for a few years.
Aunt Jenny smiled and came up to congratulate her, and like other people, she also gave advice to the couple on how to use the money.
When the crowd gradually dispersed, Ada finally found Thor among them.
With a dark face, he pulled Sol out and pulled him to the side of the road.
"Do you really like to watch the excitement? If you hadn't been lucky and stayed far away from that adult, your ears would have been injured."
