Chapter 108: Sights and Sounds of the Unnamed Town (2/2)

There were even many different types of hot springs here, like simple springs, carbonated springs, mineral springs, elemental springs, and more.

Because he was in a rush, Miller only tried the simple springs that were said to be the most basic hot springs, and even so, he was filled with nostalgia as he soaked in the relaxing springs. After he came out of the hot springs, his mood became better, and even his skin that had been weathered from his travels seemed to become somewhat smoother to the touch. Of course, he didn’t know that this hot spring had the ability to give sin-related buffs to those that used them, and the only complaint he had about them was that a bunch of monkeys came out of nowhere and started pointing at him mid-soak…

In conclusion, if he would give marks solely based on environment, this town would definitely be in the top three places in all of the places he had travelled to, and could even be said to be the best.

Yes, if it were solely based on environment.

In contrast to the exquisite environment, Miller felt that the townspeople were somewhat…Odd?

First of all, he had felt the gazes of most of the townspeople on him ever since he entered the town, and most of their gazes were not on his body, but on the top of his head…?

This even gave Miller the wrong idea that there was something on his head, and he had tried to reach up and pat around his head to no avail.

Other than that, the townspeople of this unnamed town seemed to pray to sculptures all of the time—Farmers prayed as they sowed crops, construction workers prayed as they carried bricks, and even people that were throwing rubbish were praying…The object of their prayers were all that strange spherical statue, and Miller even suspected that at some unknown corner of the town, there was someone selling them in bulk…

Other than worshiping the sculptures, the townspeople also seemed to be quite violent.

Miller had been worried for this small town that didn’t even have any walls because it was right outside of the Valley of the Tragic Dead, and so it was prone to attacks from revenants at any given time.

When those revenants came out of the Valley of the Tragic Dead, this beautiful town would definitely become their target!

As he expected, the event that he was worried about had happened right after he came out of the hot springs, when the lookout towers had released smoke signals that a group of revenants were sighted outside the town.

Miller had wanted to rally and convince the townspeople to fight the revenants and protect the town, but before he could do so, he saw the townspeople all run out of the village in the direction of the revenant attack.

‘Ah, how pure and courageous these townspeople are!’ He thought, and even wanted to fight by their side.

But before he even got to the entrance of the town, the townspeople came back angrily with a bunch of broken bones from the revenants, cursing all the way. Apparently, they seemed to be angry that the revenant horde was too weak.

Seeing a malicious and bloodthirsty aura rise from the townspeople, Miller didn’t even have the courage to ask them where the other body parts of the revenants went…

After that, he saw two townspeople with swords start quarreling over a trivial matter, shouting something about ‘whether the food from the Iron Cauldron Tavern tasted better or the food from the System Restaurant did’.

It was apparent that neither of them could convince the other, and the quarrel slowly became more and more heated. As Miller guessed that they were about to start fighting, the two townsmen stood face to face and started dancing strange dances with passionate expressions.

At the side, there was even a young girl that shouted, “Don’t fight, don’t fight!”

…There was definitely something wrong with their heads.

“Milord wants to see you.”

When a young woman that seemed to be Angora’s maid, the one that didn’t look especially pretty but was easy on the eyes and had a great figure said these words, Miller was so touched that he almost cried. He had a sneaking suspicion that if he stayed any longer, something would go wrong with his head too.
