Death Wizard Diary

Chapter 97 A very harmonious town

Stop meddling?

Sol approached and said, "Ada, is there anything going on in your town?"

"...You will know later." Ada did not explain, and continued on his way.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to elaborate, Sol had no choice but to follow him honestly.

As he got closer, he saw two gates on the town wall facing the main road.

A gate, bound by thick wooden stakes, is half a meter higher than the wall.

A small door, more than two meters high and very narrow.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, the town gate was closed tightly, and the small door was open.

There was a cloth-armored soldier at the small door, holding an iron-headed wooden gun and leaning against the wall, yawning listlessly.

Thor looked around and didn't see the second person dressed as a soldier.

"Ada, are there so few guards in your town? I remember it's right next to the border, right? Is this safe?"

Ada answered in a suppressed voice, "In the past few years, our principality has been at war with the principality of Kernas in the north. A wizard in the town and most of the guards have been transferred to defend."

"Ah?" Saul looked panicked, "Then who cares about the safety of the town?"

Thor's voice seemed a little loud, causing the squinting soldier to look up at him.

Ada quickly pulled Saul aside and smiled at the soldier.

The soldier ignored them, did not charge the city entry tax that Sol had imagined, and allowed them to walk into the town.

After entering the town and walking a long way, Ada pulled Sol to a stop on a deserted street.

He frowned and looked at Thor, "There are the wizard's men in the town. You should be more careful with your words in the future and don't attract their attention."

"I'm sorry." Sol apologized honestly, "I suffered a lot outside, and I just want to find a stable place to settle. I'm afraid that after finally getting here, I find that this place can't be my home."

Sol drooped his head, looking depressed.

When Ada across from him saw Sol like this, he was so full of accusations that he couldn't even utter a word.

He wiped his sweaty short hair and said helplessly: "If you need anything, just ask me when you get back. Don't talk randomly and ask around on the street."

"Okay, okay." Sol Liansheng agreed.

But Saul has decided to come out early tomorrow morning to inquire about the news.

After all, gossip from the masses is a very important source of intelligence.

However, in order not to affect the honest and kind-hearted Ada, he will try his best to find some suitable people and secretly inquire.

During the rest of the journey, Sol behaved very honestly.

Ada looked back at Sol from time to time, and saw that he was obediently not running around and asking questions, and his expression was very satisfied.

Although it was getting dark, there were still many people on the streets of the town.

Wealthy people have already begun to light lamps, while poor people have sped up their work, hoping to finish all the work before dark.

After a hard day's work, adults begin to prepare for sleep after dark.

The children were outside trying their best to delay the time to go home.

Ada was silent all the way, and only nodded when greeting people, unlike the person outside the town who would take the initiative to call out a fellow villager who he hadn't seen for many years.

It wasn't until she turned into an alley that Ada's tense shoulders slowly relaxed.

The path in this alley is very rough.

It is incomparable with the main road in the town outside. It is very difficult to navigate because of the potholes. I wonder if it has just rained. There is a lot of water in some low-lying places. It is necessary to put stones on it to prevent the cloth shoes from getting wet.

Sol also followed Ada's example of stepping on the stones. However, his footing was a little heavy, and the bottom of the stone was uneven, causing a little splash of water and almost splashing on passers-by.

After the passerby dodged, he first yelled, "Be careful!", but then smiled when he saw Ada in front of Sol.

"Hey, Ada is back?"

"Aunt Jenny." Ada showed an honest smile.

Aunt Jenny held a basket in her arms, reached out and took out a bunch of red hot peppers.

"This is my new one. I'll eat it with steamed buns when I take it home." Regardless of Ada's refusal, she stuffed the chili peppers into the wooden basket Ada was carrying. "Penny can eat the ones that are not too spicy, and she should too.

Practice your mouth."

Aunt Jenny smiled heartily.

Ada was honest and couldn't push it, so he accepted it with embarrassment.

Aunt Jenny turned her eyes to Sol, glanced up and down, with a smile on her face, "Coming to visit relatives?"

Sol grinned and didn't answer.

Ada quickly took over the conversation, "I'm a fellow countryman. I can't live outside anymore. Come and seek refuge with me."

This time Aunt Jenny's eyes were even more unscrupulous.

"I just came to the town... The young man looks very energetic, but he is a little thin. Remember to work more and you will get stronger."

"Alas." Ada responded for Sol and hurriedly pulled Sol away.

They continued to walk forward and met a strong man with a beard carrying a thin old man walking over.

In the cool early spring, the strong man did not wear much.

His collar was open, revealing his strong chest muscles. He wore a scimitar on his waist, slapping the strong man's thigh from time to time.

"Captain Jeff!" Ada greeted him enthusiastically this time, "You are helping to send the old madman back again."

Captain Jeff, who was tall and mighty, lifted the little old man in his hand.

Ada quickly handed the hoe and wooden basket to Sol, and stepped forward to take the little old man.

"The old madman went to the mayor again to talk about his tragic past. If I hadn't pulled him off quickly, he would have been beaten today."

Captain Jeff's hand seemed to be sore, and he said while rubbing his wrist.

As if in response to the situation, the old madman who was picked up by Ada suddenly shouted loudly.

"Damn barbarians!"

Everyone is used to the saying that crazy people come unexpectedly.

Only Saul glanced sideways and felt that although the old madman's eyes were empty, they were not confused.

He doesn't look like a madman, but like a person who has no hope of living.

"Then I'll take him back. Captain Jeff, do you want to come in for a drink of water?"

Captain Jeff waved his hand, turned around and left, "No, I have to go back to patrol."

Ada watched Captain Jeff leave with a warm smile.

At this time, the old madman shouted again: "You can't trade with barbarians!"

The sound is miserable.

Saul noticed that Captain Jeff, who was leaving, paused, and his right hand seemed to subconsciously hold the scimitar at his waist.

But he didn't look back or say anything, he just kept holding the knife and left quickly.

Ada was only focused on shutting up the old madman in her arms, and did not notice anything strange about Captain Jeff.

"Forget it, Thor, put your things aside and come help me."

The noisy old madman was a bit overwhelming for Ada, so she had no choice but to ask the "skinny" Sol for help.

Saul threw away the wooden stick in his hand, transferred the hoe and wooden basket to his right hand, put his left hand on the old madman's armpit and lifted the old madman up when he was about to slide to the ground.

"Uh..." Ada felt that the weight on her arm was much lighter, and looked at Sol in surprise, "You are quite strong."

Solhun said nonchalantly: "It's hard work to earn a living."

"Now I really believe that you have made it all the way by yourself."

Ada and Saul led the old madman into a small courtyard.

The house Ada lives in has a narrow yard.

This courtyard is full of houses. A few hemp ropes run through it, with underwear, coats, shoes, mattresses, wild vegetable hemp ropes and other strange things hanging on them.

Through the scattered items hanging on the hemp rope, the two saw a man sticking his butt out against the wooden window of one of the rooms, looking inside.

When Ada saw this, she immediately became angry!

"Jayce! You bastard, stay away from my sister!"

Third update!
