Chapter 101 Mo Sheng Guo’s adoptive mother
Ada scolded Thor for his reckless behavior, but he himself seemed to be the guilty one, rubbing his hands back and forth, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were wandering.
"What happened just now? Why is the wizard present?" Looking at the anxious Ada, Thor was not angry, but just asked curiously.
"I told you not to be too curious. Being curious is not a good thing here."
At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted Ada.
"If this little skinny guy wants to settle 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 on. He seemed to have been talking just now
. Stand there and watch.
He glanced around Sol and asked with a smile: "Do you have an older sister or younger sister?"
Sol shook his head, "I am alone."
"Oh, don't worry about it." Jayce stretched out his hand. "We in Mofan Town have always relied on the Mosheng Fruit. It's just that the Mosheng Fruit is not easy to grow, and the production always suddenly decreases in large quantities. In order to ensure the income of the town, and in order to continue to seek the protection of the Wizard Tower, our respected, The great and beloved wizard will select a lovely girl every few years to be the adoptive mother of the Mo Sheng Guo."
"Adoptive mother?" Thor confirmed in surprise.
"Yes, foster mother. She has sacrificed her life to feed a bunch of fruits, isn't she a foster mother or what?"
"How?"
Jayce's face suddenly darkened, and then quickly returned to his indifferent look.
"Who knows, that's the wizard's business, how can we have a chance to pry?"
If his face didn't suddenly become so ugly just now, Thor would probably believe it.
It seems that this adoptive mother is not easy to be.
"Does this happen every year? If there are no girls in this town, how can we have children in the future?" Saul continued to ask.
"It didn't happen very often in the past. It only happened once every three or four years. It's been a lot lately. This year is already the third time..." Janis said as he fell there deep in thought.
Ada finally couldn't stand listening any more, so she took Sol and left.
"What are you talking about with him? He is an old gangster who does nothing all day long and takes advantage of others. 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 of them walked a few dozen meters, Ada stopped, turned to Sol and said, "If you live here for a few years, you will know sooner or later. You don't have to worry about this matter, and you can't. There is no way. After all, our town... depends on that holy fruit to survive." "
Then do you know why the production of Mosheng Guo has been reduced?"
"How do I know? That is the business of the big shots. You should take care of yourself. That'll be fine."
Thinking that Saul just wanted to wander around the town, Ada wanted to drag him directly to work in the fields. But Sol sneaked away halfway, making Ada stomp her feet in anger, and she could only leave the town alone. He still had a lot of work to do.
Thor, who ran away, did not go anywhere else, but returned to the place where the crowd had just watched.
At this time, most of the people had dispersed, only those who had some relatives and those who liked to watch the fun remained.
Several people gathered around the couple who were still crying and took turns comforting them.
Both the words and the words are telling them to accept their fate and relax, they will still have children.
As soon as Sol walked over, he saw Aunt Jenny, who had been persuading the most vigorously just now, standing outside the crowd and watching coldly, without the fake smile on her face.
Like a stone sculpture standing in the middle of the street, it just looks like a human being.
Sol went over and coughed twice to attract Aunt Jenny's attention.
When the latter turned around and saw that it was Sol, he immediately smiled and started breathing again.
"You are not the young man who came back with Ada yesterday. Why did you run into the street by yourself?" She began to look at Sol up and down again.
"I just came to Mofan Town, and I want to wander around the town and find some work." Sol dealt with it casually, and then asked, "Aunt Jenny, what happened just now? Why is there a wizard apprentice showing up?" "What
? Those who are not apprentices should be called Master Wizards." Aunt Jenny made an exaggerated gesture to silence, but her voice was not quiet.
Then, she happily started telling Sol about the traditions of Mofan Town.
Magic Sail Town was originally just a barren town, with less than one-tenth of its current population and area.
But one day, two passing wizards discovered the wild Mo Sheng Guo here and decided to settle here.
Through their efforts, the production of Mosheng Guo was successfully expanded and became the main source of local income.
With the help of the Mosheng Fruit, Mofan Town successfully became a vassal of a very powerful wizard organization in the distance, in exchange for many materials they needed, and at the same time, it also brought wealth and supplies to Mofan Town.
After Mofan Town became more and more prosperous, it was renamed Mofan Town.
It's just that this place is located on the border after all. After the relationship between Kema and the Principality of Kernas deteriorated, the living environment suddenly became much worse.
The military turmoil at the fortress caused most of the troops in Mofan Town to be transferred to Mobian City, and the defense here was suddenly much weaker.
In addition, a group of barbarians came from nowhere and would send a few people to sneak attacks from time to time. In the end, the output of Mosheng fruit decreased year by year, and it was almost impossible to guarantee the amount of tribute.
In order to increase production and continue to gain protection, the wizard had to increase the frequency of using pure girls to nourish the sound-grinding fruit.
"But isn't that wizard organization protecting Mofan Town? Why not invite them to exterminate the barbarians?"
Sol heard Nick say that the Wizard Tower will send third-level apprentices to come regularly to get the ripe Mosheng Fruit. Can't they just get it? Are the barbarians exterminated?
You must know that ordinary barbarians are only physically stronger than ordinary people.
Still nothing against the wizard.
"This..." Aunt Jenny couldn't tell, "I don't know about this. Anyway, the barbarians mostly go to villages in the suburbs. I don't know where they hide usually. It's probably difficult to catch them." Aunt Jenny
said As he spoke, his eyes squinted towards the couple who were being helped back to the room by everyone.
"Don't worry, you can stay here. As long as there are no problems with Mo Sheng Guo, there will be no problems in Mo Fan Town!" She said word by word.
After saying that, Aunt Jenny turned around and enthusiastically invited Sol to sit at her house, but her eyes looked a little weird.
Sol got the news he wanted and dumped Aunt Jenny unceremoniously.
"Thank you Aunt Jenny, I will continue to look for work. I have no money now." Sol chuckled and ran away.
Aunt Jenny was stunned, glared and cursed, but she didn't look very angry on her face.
Sol ran down 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 streets look particularly peaceful and happy.
Even an old man in shabby clothes sitting on the street can still sit on the stone steps and chat and laugh with the shop owner behind him about what to eat when he goes back in the evening.
This seemed like a town where there was no need to worry about the future.
After all, they have Mo Sheng Guo.
Sol walked around the town, listened, and finally returned to the small courtyard where Ada lived at noon.
There was a woman in the small courtyard who was walking out with a wooden basin. She looked up and saw Sol. She was startled, turned around and went back into the house with the basin.
The door slammed shut like Thor was some kind of monster.
Thor quickly looked down at his hands. The effect of the magic trick had not disappeared. 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 soundly after he came back last night. When he left this morning, Ada pulled Saul in a hurry and didn't have time to come over.
Now Saul came in and 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 people in yesterday. It seemed that someone had deliberately turned it over, and some things were missing inside.
Thor touched his chin: "He ran pretty fast."
