Chapter 96: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
Nick took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Thor, "This is a letter from Master Rum to Mofan Town. I need you to take a detour to deliver it. The coachman knows the place.
" I took the letter and found that it was not sealed and could be taken out and read at any time.
"Are there any taboos on this? Can I see it?"
"Of course you can, this is for ordinary people to see. There are at most two first-level apprentices in Mofan Town, and they are all rubbish. Seriously, they are not good enough for you. Killed with just one hand."
Nick reassured Thor.
"Mofan Town is located on the border of the Principality of Kema, and next to it is the disputed area with the Principality of Kernas. The situation is a little complicated. However, they will provide Tali with the specialty Mosheng fruit there every year, and Tali will give them Some protection."
Nick motioned to Saul to open the letter and read it first.
Saul opened the letter and saw rows of elegant cursive characters, and Rum's slender, three-fold arms automatically appeared in his mind.
The content of the letter is very simple, it is to reprimand Mofan Town for the recent decline in the quantity and quality of the tributes submitted. If this continues, Gorsa Wizard Tower will withdraw its protection from Mofan Town.
"Do you need me to collect the tribute?" Saul didn't know if he could handle the situation at the age of 14.
"That's not necessary. There are dedicated third-level seniors who collect it every summer. After all, that thing still has some experimental value." Although
no one dared to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, Nick still moved closer to Thor and lowered his voice.
"In addition, you have two choices when going to Mofan Town this time. One is to go directly, scold them for Master Rum, and then enjoy yourself and eat Naka." "Or do a little research on
their Mosheng fruit production. The reason for the decrease is to show up again to get cards."
"If you can investigate the reason clearly, you don't have to deal with them. You can just report it to instructor Rum when you go back. But if they dare to be disrespectful to you, you only need to think about you. It represents the Wizard Tower, so you should know what to do.”
Nick handed the task to Sol and left with the team.
Sol and the coachman were left behind and continued along the original route.
Mofan Town was not far from where they separated. Sol only traveled for one day and arrived at the eastern outskirts of the town before dark.
There are two ways to complete the task assigned to Sol by Nick, but they also correspond to two different task rewards.
Although Thor was not a detective, he coveted the second mission reward item, so he decided to try to investigate it first.
He asked the coachman to wait in the suburbs, and he performed a magic trick and changed his clothes.
Now he was dressed in rags like a refugee in the wilderness, and his hands were no longer black, but had normal skin color.
Before Sol left, the coachman silently handed over a small bag of coins.
There were more than a dozen silver coins and scattered copper coins in the purse. The coins are all cast with exquisite patterns, which are not like things that can be cast in this environment and productivity. It is probably influenced by witchcraft.
Thor carried a few copper coins on his body and put the others in his arms.
He still doesn't know the purchasing power of these coins, and is afraid that taking too much will affect his lurking.
Separating from the coachman, Sol picked up a wooden stick on the side of the road and leaned on it, feeling more like one of those refugees.
There are not many outsiders in Mofan Town.
Sol imitated the appearance of the pedestrians on the road, changed his expression and demeanor, and slowly approached the town not far away.
From the outside, Mofan Town looks quite big.
A wall was built around the town, which looked very old and dilapidated under the baptism of wind and sand.
There are also several rows of old houses outside the wall. From the outside, you can tell that the living conditions of the owners are not very good.
There is also a small area of cultivated land under cultivation outside the town.
When Saul passed by the farmland, he saw a dark-skinned young man digging the ground with a hoe.
When the other party reached the end of the ridge, he straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and met Thor who was observing him.
When Saul saw the other person's face, he thought he might still be a teenager.
Sol turned his head indifferently, leaning on the wooden stick, ready to leave.
"Thor?"
The other party called uncertainly from behind.
Thor stopped and turned back in confusion.
How could anyone call him by his name?
When Sol turned around, he saw the young man rushing over with a hoe in hand, his face full of excitement.
"Saul, it's really you! When I rushed out of the village and didn't see you, I thought you had died in the hands of barbarians." "Who are you?" Saul looked
confused, but he was thinking in his heart that he should have encountered someone. To someone who knows the original owner.
"I'm Ada, haha. You've changed a lot, but you haven't changed much. You're still like a skinny monkey. But how did you run out of the village? I really thought you were dead, and I cried for a long time, haha. Haha." The young man named Ada patted Sol's shoulder without hesitation.
He looked at Sol, who still looked confused, and the smile on his face faded.
“你不记得我了？我原来就住在你家隔壁。当年你也十岁了，还说要等我妹妹长大娶她，后来我把你胖揍一顿……你忘了吗？”
"I... really don't remember." Thor said through gritted teeth.
That is the original owner's business and has nothing to do with him.
In this situation, Thor actually ignored him and left. But Sol thought of the small town ahead, and his tone was eager with a little inquiry.
"Ada, do you live in Mofan Town?"
Noticing Sol's eyes, Ada hesitated for a moment, then admitted, "Yes, my sister and I live in the town now. But we rent in a small courtyard. Life was pretty hard.”
Sol smiled happily: "That's great, Ada, I'm thinking of going to Mofan Town to stay. But I've been wandering outside for a long time and don't have much money with me. Can I stay at your house for a few days first? I promise to move as soon as I find a job. Let’s go.”
The sudden and straightforward request was the hardest for an honest person to refuse.
"Oh, well, we don't have much room to live in our house." Ada's hand on the hoe kept tightening, and the hoe almost made a hole in the ground.
Thor took a breath, stretched out his hand to touch his flat belly, and said pitifully: "I can sleep on the ground. I haven't eaten for several days. I heard that Mofan Town is a good place, so I rushed there several times." I just came here all the way. If I can't settle in the town, I'm afraid I will die in the wild."
Sol raised his head, his eyebrows and mouth were shrinking.
"Please, Ada, for the sake of us being from the same village."
Ada looked at Saul's dusty face, pale and purple lips, and complicated eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking of.
"Okay, but I can only give you a place to live and only green buns to eat. You have to go to the town to find a job as soon as possible." "Hey,
okay!" Sol agreed and smiled again.
Ada glanced at the field and then at the sun that was starting to set in the distance.
"Forget it, that's it for today." Ada walked to the field, picked up the wooden basket he had hidden under the ridge, and came back.
"Let's go. Hey..."
Ada sighed as he walked in front.
Sol had no anxiety about bullying an honest person, and followed Ada towards the town while looking around.
There were other people farming like Ada on the road. Some of them would say hello to Ada, and some would just look at her indifferently, then lower their heads and continue working.
"Ada, your town is so nice! It's much more peaceful than where I used to live."
Ada's figure froze, but he only said in a low voice: "It's not as good as you think. Just remember not to meddle in other people's business and work hard. Maybe you can build a house outside the town and ask for it later. Wife."
