The Mage of Eternity

128 Old Friend

After years of war, the number of adventurers in Primal Chaos City was severely depleted.

The residents sighed.

Especially recently, after learning that the desert had been sealed off, the resentment in the hearts of the adventurers in the city reached its peak.

However, the city leader was completely indifferent.

Whether it was during the war or not, she only had one way to control the city.

That was the oppression of strength!

Obedient ones will stay. Disobedient ones will be beheaded!

This kind of strength brought about a high level of pressure, causing most of the residents in chaos city to live cautiously.

Thinking about it seriously, this miserable and inhuman life started after the undead town appeared in Chaos City.

Before this, most of them lived in chaos city willingly.

Although the City Lord was also present, most of the time, she did not take care of things. Even if someone occasionally violated the most important rules in the city and went to the outer city, it was only a simple fine, and they would not suffer physical pain.

After all, this was also their privilege as inner-city residents. They did not have to suffer like outer city residents because of littering.

However, everything changed after Undead Town appeared in Chaos City.

The rules in the city suddenly became strict. They were even divided into small groups. The residents in the small groups ate, drank, and used the toilet together.

Moreover, there were also joint responsibilities.

If one person committed a crime, the entire team would be buried with him.

That's right, life burials.

Under the pressure, everyone in Chaos City was panicking, and they treated their team members with kindness and gentleness.

It was no longer the beating, scolding, or threats from before.

They were also afraid that if their attitude were too bad, the other party in the same team would not be able to take it. They would take the initiative to commit a crime by injuring some enemies, implicating the entire team and suffering an undeserved disaster.

This kind of change was only alleviated when they started fighting the orcs. It was not to the extent that the entire team would be killed just because one person in the team littered the trash.

After Undead Town left, the Lord of Chaos City seemed to have changed into a different person.

She didn't care about how the residents cursed her. She only cared about how to further exploit them.

In terms of squeezing the residents, the Chaos City lord was better than An Kai.

An Kai didn't kill the residents because they littered.

Not to mention the unreasonable implications.

When An Kai and Mason sneaked into the inner Chaos City, he saw this strange scene.

There were at least five or six of them. They were inseparable. No matter where they went, they would always be together.

Moreover, these people didn't look relaxed even though they had stopped fighting with the orcs.

Instead, they were even more nervous and terrified.

They looked back three times with every step they took. Not only were they observing their surroundings, but they were also observing the behaviour of their companions.

"What is this?"

An Kai was rather puzzled. He didn't know what these guys had experienced.

In the [Side Quest], there was no mention of the lifestyle of the inner Chaos City.

This strange scene in the city made An Kai's heart skip a beat.

"Are these guys all poor?"

He frowned slightly and instructed Mason to follow a small team of six back to their home.

When An Kai saw the scene in their house, he was dumbfounded.

It was not an exaggeration to say that even the rats would cry.

The house was bare, and there was not a single bit of food in sight.

Someone took out a piece of mouldy black bread that was only the size of a palm from his pocket, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Excitement appeared on their faces. A stronger adventurer distributed the bread, and all six of them were given a piece of mouldy bread of the same size.

A crunching sound could be heard.

However, the six of them revealed a satisfied expression. Among the six of them, the weakest was at the third rank of stage two, and the strongest was at the Stage three.

At this moment, he felt satisfied because he had eaten a piece of mouldy bread that tasted like a brick.

An Kai didn't know what they had experienced.

However, through the performance of these six people, he confirmed one thing. The food shortage in the Home of Kindness was much better than here.

At the very least, the residents of the Home of Kindness would not be satisfied just because they ate a piece of mouldy bread.

They only know how to scold life for being unfair.

An Kai and Mason, who witnessed all of this, looked at each other and saw the confusion and doubt in each other's eyes.

While An Kai and Mason were puzzled, the six of them finished the bread in their hands.

They had a vexed expression on their faces as if they were vexed because they didn't save any for the next time.

"Bitch!"

"That stinking... Bitch. She treats us like trash. Why didn't anyone resist?"

"Resist? Can you can fight against a Stage five earth elemental [Elementalist]!"

"Damn it! One day, I will kill her!"

"Save your strength. If the orcs come, we will still have to work hard."

"Damn it! This stinks. Bitch!"

"Sigh. The bread is delicious."

.

In the house, some of the six people cursed at the city lord, and some accepted reality, but they all had one thing in common: they were all complaining about the unfairness of life.

An Kai and Mason, who had been observing, suddenly widened their eyes!

In Mason's line of sight, there was a thread of aura above the six people's heads. It rose into the air and surged in a direction.

In An Kai's eyes, shadows that looked similar to the six of them flew out of their bodies. They were angry and cursed at the injustice of life as they rose into the air.
