Chapter 131 - Entering the Unnamed Town (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Most of the houses in the center of the town still retained their former appearance. Although some small buildings built of wood and stone were covered with signs of repair, they still looked sturdy.

Cinthya walked straight towards a courtyard. Although it was called a courtyard, many of the walls were incomplete, and the door had long disappeared.

The few of them entered the courtyard and saw various simple huts along both sides of the courtyard wall. These wooden huts were adjacent to one another. Some even shared the same beam.

The light in the houses shone through the cracks in the crooked windows and the walls, scattering messily on the cracked stone path in the middle.

At the end of the pathway, Cinthya pushed a wooden door with both hands. With an ear-piercing sound from the hinges, the two rotten wooden doors were pushed open. Then, the few people sitting around a long table inside looked back. Seeing that Cinthya had returned, they all stood up, turned around, and said with their heads lowered, “Lord Cinthya..”

Cinthya casually made an exaggerated gesture.

“From now on, I’m no longer your Lord.”

The few people at the table looked at each other curiously.

At this moment, Cinthya pointed at Barker, who was beside her, and said, “He’s your Lord now. He has the final say in this abandoned town in the future.”

“Wait, I’m just a passerby. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

Cinthya had her arm across Barker’s shoulder. The crescent blade in her arm was almost at his neck now.

“This is the rule of the abandoned town. Not only is the abandoned town yours, so am I.”

Peter looked at Barker with great interest.

“Congratulations.”

Cinthya looked at Peter and looked him up and down.

“Why? Are you jealous?”

“Am I jealous?”

At this moment, Cinthya didn’t care about Peter’s words. In her opinion, Peter was just jealous. The reason for this jealousy was none other than to see someone else obtain what he couldn’t.

She simply turned to look at the few people at the table and gave them a fierce look. Then, she said gently, “When I was in charge of the abandoned town, didn’t I say that if anyone could defeat me one day, this abandoned town and I would belong to him?”

The few of them nodded in succession, but looked at each other blankly.

Cinthya looked at their dazed expressions and instantly lost her gentleness from before.

“Have your mouths been sewn shut?”

The few of them suddenly trembled as they spoke incoherently, “You did say that… who ever won the abandoned town… is the abandoned town…”

Cinthya smacked her forehead in annoyance.

“Get out of here!”

The few of them squeezed one another out of the door without further ado. When they were far away, they whispered, “Did she eat something wrong?”

Another person said, “I think so too. She probably ate something hallucinogenic.”

“I think so too.”

“Otherwise, why would she spout nonsense…”

Halfway through their discussion, Cinthya turned around and walked to the door. Then, she roared, “Get lost, all of you. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”

The few of them were so frightened by this roar that their shoulders shook. Then, they each returned to their respective huts in the courtyard.

Cinthya angrily closed the two doors and took a deep breath. Then, she turned around and said, “There are rooms upstairs. Besides the room facing the stairs on the south side, you can stay in whichever room you like.”

“Thanks,” said Barker. He was about to go up the stairs by the wall.

At this moment, Cinthya said again, “Stop right there. You have to accompany me tonight.”
