Chapter 500 The Most Livable City
The blue grass and leaves, the brown marble road, and small animals walking around, the hot sky, Eden who was sitting in the back of the carriage with the wind blowing by, now Eden's group was traveling to a village. While riding in the carriage, Eden accidentally saw a beautiful tree with yellow leaves and thorns all over its body, the size of a tree, and yellow stems. Eden asked curiously because whoever saw this tree must have wondered what it was. "Mr. Senneki, what is it?" The person Eden asked was a human male with short brown hair and a scar on his face, named Senneki, the leader of this trip, level 3 Jom.
Senneki nodded in agreement. "It's a ceremony of the Tarerin Village. They punish people who break the rules of the village by giving them something called the Tyren Fruit. The Tyren Fruit is given to the offender to swallow into his stomach. The Tyren Fruit will expand when it comes into direct contact with the blood of the person who eats it. The golden yellow thorns will expand from inside the stomach, causing the person to die from the expansion. This is what you saw. Seeing something like this means we're close to the Tarerin Village," Senneki explained calmly like it was a normal morning.
Eden nodded and smiled, looking at a tree next to the first one that was interesting. "This is it, it's easy to understand. I was wondering why the road that was beautiful a short while ago has turned into a red hell instead. It's easy to understand. Is this the village that we have to live in? Why does it look so inviting?" Eden smiled and saw a road filled with dried red blood from the blood that had been spilt for a long time. There were people lying down with thorns sticking out of their bodies. If you can't imagine it, it would be like a durian with thorns all over its body expanding so much that you could see pieces of people's flesh coming off. The road was dyed red blood.
Eden looked at the horrifying red corpses and then returned to Senneki. "Are you going to let us stay in this village?" Normal people would think that the road was still full of blood, so the village must be a pool of blood. Senneki nodded, indicating that he was right. "I've used it. Seeing this, it's like preparing food for a demon. Those who saw footprints on the ground, right? "Eden looked at the ground and saw footprints as big as trees. They were like thorns stabbing into the ground, leaving footprints.
Eden smiled in understanding. "This is a very interesting village. They dispose of the bodies of criminals. They're going to die anyway, so let this demon eat them while preventing them from entering the village. It's vicious, and if you do this, it'll provide another layer of protection by preventing bandits from breaking into the village. The dangerous exterior will seal the surroundings. It's a good idea. Is this the outside world?" "Yes, the demon footprints, right?" "Yes, I did. It's a level seven magical demon. It could be said to be an ancient demon. If you give it a sacrifice every day, it won't hurt others." Senneki said normally.
Edward looked at him curiously, wondering if he had planned something. Eden looked back at the red road. "It's a strange road." Along the way, A man was running away from something and heading towards Eden's group of carriages. THUMP THUMP THUMP "Help! Someone help me! There's a demon chasing me!!!!" Senneki stopped the carriage and looked at the man running towards him, preparing to protect Eden's group.
Eden looked at Mariana, wondering what to do. Mariana opened her mouth. "There is someone hiding. A level four mage." "What do you think we should do?" "Let's just take care of him. It seems that the demon that this man escaped from is worthless." "Can you guess who it is?" "He won't do it. He seems to be trying to take care of us. The goal is unclear, but if we fight, we will be damaged." "Understood." Eden looked at Edward. "He won't do it. If we train with a level four, we will definitely die. Let's pass." "Mr. Edward, go help Senneki. I will go alone." Edward nodded after hearing what Eden said.
Eden jumped down from the carriage and ran to stand beside Senneki. "It seems that this person wants to have a problem with us." "But it seems that the rule of Tarerin Village is that fighting is prohibited. We can only respond with words. „«Huh!?.....Is that right? Fighting is forbidden and we have to curse at each other? What kind of trick did the leader of the rules think of to make such a rule?»"Then how do we fight back?„You have to run away. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be considered a criminal and will be forced to eat the Tyren Fruit that is the same as the people at the entrance of the village.„"Excellent.„«If it's excellent, what kind of a shitty rule is this? Then what do we do now?„
Senneki nodded."We have to run away to gather our strength first. The leader of Tarerin Village seems to be very strict about the rules, so we have to follow them.„Eden nodded."Alright, then retreat first.„Eden's group started on the carriage, escaping from a man who was shouting for help, covered in blood.
Eden looked around, wondering if they knew each other. When the man who was chasing after Eden's group's carriage saw that Eden's group was ignoring him and was about to run away, Using the fourth magic spell «Lightning Bull», a blue lightning bull appeared. The size of the lightning bull was suitable for the user. "Tch, you are so cruel, running away from someone who came to you for help. It seems like there is no need to feel guilty. Of course, why would I feel sorry for a stranger?" The man who used magic had short blue hair and clothes that looked like he had been attacked by a demon. His name was Teren, a level 4 mage.
