Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An indescribable fear welled up in his heart.
He even subconsciously slowed down his breathing.
Fortunately, the evil giant tree stopped outside the territory. And then it slowly pulled roots in the earth.
It seemed to be the most loyal guard that protected the territory.
Jonah focused his eyes and saw hundreds of buzzing wasps on the top of the tree. The wasps emitted sounds from a very close distance.
He was starkly dumbfounded and looked at the residents with a dry mouth.
“This, this is also a troop of this territory?”
His tone slightly trembled.
The other party nodded.
He said with a hint of worship.
“This is the god’s ancient tree that the Lord personally conquered.
“Did you see the poisonous wasps on that big tree? They are rare species. They said there are mostly a few hundred thousand of them…
“Lord Karu said that the god’s evil ancient tree goes fishing a few kilometers away every day. It came back quite early today.”
Jonah was in a mess.
‘Could anyone conquer this kind of monster??
‘And what the hell was fishing?
‘Were there fishes in the desert to catch?’
And this kind of terrifying aura, why did it feel like it would be a waste for him to send a large troop forward?
Shame instantly impregnated his face when he thought about how he had wanted to flatten this territory.
‘F*ck! Just this giant tree alone could take ten of my life. Flatten it, flatten it with a hammer.’
At this moment, Onyx had also come to Jonah’s side. When he heard the conversation between the two, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But Onyx could not say anything.
The resident looked at the dumbfounded Jonah and seemed to have thought of something. He warned him solemnly.
“Lord Jonah, although I understand that you want to help us. This is Twilight City. I absolutely won’t allow you to slander my Lord!
“As for what you said about leaving this city with you, do not mention this anymore.
“Twilight City is the best city I’ve ever seen in all the territories!
“This is our home!
“No single noble can oppress, bully, enslave us. I don’t even dare to think I could become a member of Twilight City in this lifetime.”
As the resident spoke, his gaze became more solemn.
“Lord Jonah, you were our leader in the past. And you led us forward.
“But now, we’re a member of Twilight City, and the Lord is our ruler. I won’t allow anyone to say anything adverse about Twilight City in this territory.
“Please have some self-respect.”
Jonah suddenly felt a heavy hammer strike his heart ten thousand times.
He looked at this old friend of his who had known him for more than ten years with his mouth agape.
‘What right did this territory have?
‘How long had it been, and why had my old friend changed a lot?’
He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything.
His old friend had said it so seriously. What else could he say?
The resident sighed in his heart and bowed slightly to Jonah. Then, he picked up the building materials on the ground and went to work in high spirits.
The others did the same. After they bowed, they continued to do their things.
The troops surrounded just a moment ago. But in the blink of an eye, they all had gone.
Jonah was still at a loss for words.
When Onyx saw this scene, Onyx didn’t know what to say. He could only pat Jonah on the shoulder to comfort him.
Jonah returned to his senses and immediately went to the blacksmith shop not far away under the guidance of a resident.
It didn’t matter if the others didn’t want to go with him. As long as Adele was there, it was enough.
When Jonah arrived at the blacksmith shop, Adele, who had received the news of her father’s arrival, rushed downstairs.
When she saw that familiar figure, her eyes immediately turned red.
Her crystal-clear tears left long traces of tears.
She quickly walked forward and shouted with excitement and grievance.
“Father…”
Jonah looked at his daughter’s grievance and his heart almost melted.
“Adele, don’t cry. Don’t Cry! I’m here to pick you up.
“How have you been lately? Are you hurt?”
Adele cried and laughed. “I’m fine. This place is fine. I’m just too happy to see you…
Jonah didn’t believe her. His anger rose again when he looked at his daughter’s appearance.
“Did that damn lord trick you into staying?
“I don’t know what drug that lord gave the others. I asked them to return to Solan City with me, but they weren’t willing!
“Hmph! this kind of territory, although it’s fine now, sandstorm would instantly submerge this city as long it encounters one.”
When Adele heard this, she stopped crying and shook her head.
“Father, Lord Richard is very kind to me. He didn’t lie to me, and I stayed here voluntarily.”
Jonah angrily said, “That’s not important. Pack your things and leave this place with me. I’ve already helped you find a suitable job at the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
“They are willing to treat you as a special-level blacksmith.”
As he spoke, he became excited again.
“With the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce’s abundant resources, they can upgrade you to a special-level blacksmith in a year at most…”
Adele was stunned for a moment before she revealed a brilliant smile.
“Father, I might have made the same choice as the others.”
Jonah’s heart thumped as he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, what the other party said next made him feel as if he had received 10,000 points of true damage.
“I’m now a member of Twilight City, and I won’t leave.”
Jonah’s face instantly stiffened.
No, won’t leave?!
Ten thousand question marks congested in his mind.
‘Why? Why are all of them like this?!’
Forget about the others… ‘Why would adele stay here?’
“Adele, do you know what you’re saying?
“You’re one step away from being promoted to special-level blacksmith. Your stay here will only delay you!”
