Chapter 181: Winter’s Moon (2)

The procession of mountain residents was endless. They entrusted Reccordak with all the wealth they had accumulated in the mountains, including the bags on their backs, their wagons loaded with grain, and their livestock.

—It’s not much, but please, take good care of it.

—Thank you! I won’t cause any trouble!

—Boy! Say hello. Respectfully.

—Hello…

Epherene listened to their voices rumbling past. They were people who reminded her of her old country days.

“…”

Were they good memories or memories she didn’t want to recall? Epherene, immersed in thought for a moment, looked back to Deculein.

“Guard.”

He called a guard.

“Yes, Professor.”

“From now on, grab the commoners I choose.”

“Yes? Oh, yes! All right!”

Epherene watched Deculein carefully. He first carefully scanned the influx of residents. Then he picked one, and the guard shouted in his stead.

“Hey! You, over there! Come here!”

“…Yes?”

“Come here.”

“Oh, okay…”

Residents caught on Deculein’s radar were separated to a nearby vacant lot. Everyone wore frightened expressions.

“Hey! You over there too!”

From then on, he picked people like cattle.

“You too!”

“Come!”

“Come here! Don’t hesitate!”

The number of people in the mountains exceeded ten thousand, but the number taken by Deculein was less than a hundred.
