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.
âThis, this is also a troop of this territory?â
His tone slightly trembled.
The other party nodded.
He said with a hint of worship.
âThis is the godâs ancient tree that the Lord personally conquered.
âDid you see the poisonous wasps on that big tree? They are rare species. They said there are mostly a few hundred thousand of themâ¦
âLord Karu said that the godâs evil ancient tree goes fishing a few kilometers away every day. It came back quite early today.â
Jonah was in a mess.
âCould anyone conquer this kind of monster??
âAnd what the hell was fishing?
âWere there fishes in the desert to catch?â
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.
âF*ck! Just this giant tree alone could take ten of my life. Flatten it, flatten it with a hammer.â
At this moment, Onyx had also come to Jonahâs 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.
âLord Jonah, although I understand that you want to help us. This is Twilight City. I absolutely wonât allow you to slander my Lord!
âAs for what you said about leaving this city with you, do not mention this anymore.
âTwilight City is the best city Iâve ever seen in all the territories!
âThis is our home!
âNo single noble can oppress, bully, enslave us. I donât even dare to think I could become a member of Twilight City in this lifetime.â
As the resident spoke, his gaze became more solemn.
âLord Jonah, you were our leader in the past. And you led us forward.
âBut now, weâre a member of Twilight City, and the Lord is our ruler. I wonât allow anyone to say anything adverse about Twilight City in this territory.
âPlease have some self-respect.â
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.
âWhat right did this territory have?
âHow long had it been, and why had my old friend changed a lot?â
He wanted to say something, but he couldnât 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 didnât 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 didnât matter if the others didnât 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 fatherâs 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.
âFatherâ¦â
Jonah looked at his daughterâs grievance and his heart almost melted.
âAdele, donât cry. Donât Cry! Iâm here to pick you up.
âHow have you been lately? Are you hurt?â
Adele cried and laughed. âIâm fine. This place is fine. Iâm just too happy to see youâ¦
Jonah didnât believe her. His anger rose again when he looked at his daughterâs appearance.
âDid that damn lord trick you into staying?
âI donât know what drug that lord gave the others. I asked them to return to Solan City with me, but they werenât willing!
âHmph! this kind of territory, although itâs fine now, sandstorm would instantly submerge this city as long it encounters one.â
When Adele heard this, she stopped crying and shook her head.
âFather, Lord Richard is very kind to me. He didnât lie to me, and I stayed here voluntarily.â
Jonah angrily said, âThatâs not important. Pack your things and leave this place with me. Iâve already helped you find a suitable job at the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
âThey are willing to treat you as a special-level blacksmith.â
As he spoke, he became excited again.
âWith the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerceâs abundant resources, they can upgrade you to a special-level blacksmith in a year at mostâ¦â
Adele was stunned for a moment before she revealed a brilliant smile.
âFather, I might have made the same choice as the others.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jonahâs 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.
âIâm now a member of Twilight City, and I wonât leave.â
Jonahâs face instantly stiffened.
No, wonât leave?!
Ten thousand question marks congested in his mind.
âWhy? Why are all of them like this?!â
Forget about the others⦠âWhy would adele stay here?â
âAdele, do you know what youâre saying?
âYouâre one step away from being promoted to special-level blacksmith. Your stay here will only delay you!â
