"Knight’s Squire? No, we, the Faser Fan Wild Party, are recruiting soldiers. To be precise, it doesn’t matter if they are commoners, wild mages, knights, warriors, or mages."
The Magic Apprentice ca back to his senses and replied with a smile to the lady.
The lady imdiately nodded thoughtfully.
The crowd’s thoughts were also brought back by the lady’s words.
Join the army?
Yes!
Enlist!
Not only n, but even won were high-spirited one by one.
So what if won enlist? Won’s capabilities are not inferior to n’s at all!
Look, even a lady wants to enlist!
"Mage, sir! Where can I enlist?"
"I want to protect my holand!"
"Defend Faser! Defend Faser!"
The crowd was bustling, with everyone asking questions, making the Magic Apprentice sowhat at a loss.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
At that mont, a mage hovering in the air shouted using an amplification spell: "There is a special enlistnt office in the city hall where everyone can inquire!"
A white-bearded mage, dressed in a blue mage robe, landed with a loud voice: "I am Daisa, the current editor-in-chief of the Citizen Newspaper of Faser!"
The editor-in-chief of the Citizen Newspaper of Faser!
Legendary Mage Daisa!
The crowd noticeably quieted down.
Daisa, in the past, was famous in several nearby cities.
Known for being stubborn, arrogant, and cold.
But now...
"Haha, this compatriot, if you want to enlist, you better hurry up, otherwise you’ll have to wait in a long line to test your talent." Daisa smiled as she ca to the lady who asked the question initially.
However, the lady shook her head: "I was asking for my son; he always wanted to stand out, but I never allowed it, thinking it was too dangerous... But now, I think, instead of dying inexplicably at ho, better to die on the path of saving our Faser..."
The lady said as she wiped her tears.
Listening to the lady’s brief words, Daisa solemnly honored her: "Compatriot, our Faser Fan Wild Party will do our best to protect every fellow compatriot, and if to die, it will surely be a death full of glory..."
"Alright." At this mont, the lady also made up her mind.
It wasn’t just the lady.
Many people who once wanted their children to live a peaceful life all their lives were also shaken.
Because of the outsiders!
When Lin Ke and the others arrived, it was quite a commotion.
Many people felt like the sky was falling, feeling nothing but imnse despair.
But now, at least it is full of hope.
However, the crowd looked towards the Magic Apprentice at the store entrance again, and soone cautiously asked, "Does the newspaper... have more copies?"
The Magic Apprentice, who had been excitedly looking at Daisa, was reminded and ca back to his senses. He raised the "New Faser Youth" in his hand and said, "There are! Since it’s the first issue, there’s a supplent."
The Magic Apprentice flipped to the supplent, on which several Faser common words were written in elegant calligraphy: "Screams from the Abyss."
The four words made the Magic Apprentice’s pupils contract.
"Abyss," these two words made him feel a kind of imnse despair!
In front of this despair, it was as if the sun’s rays were being completely absorbed, leaving people to fall into darkness endlessly.
The words "Screams" evoked even stronger powerlessness in the Magic Apprentice.
In this dark descent, there was simply no strength to resist!
One could only helplessly watch oneself fall into the abyss...
However, at this mont, a line appeared below.
Written by Buck Lagronas.
These words were penned in deep red, like blood.
And it was these few words that suddenly made the Magic Apprentice feel a slight, faint red hope.
A bloody, weak yet resilient hope.
"Phew..."
The Magic Apprentice took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, feeling that his soul had been cleansed.
He did not know that this was the [Calligrapher] profession developed by Lin Ke, now integrated into the [Artist], which had undergone a qualitative leap.
Now, even copying their notes would have an impact.
However, this ti the influence Lin Ke exerted was positive; it allowed people to firmly choose their inner aspirations.
This was the case for the Magic Apprentice.
When he withdrew his gaze, his soul had been cleansed.
So he opened the first page of "Screams from the Abyss," and the title was four words—
"A Madman’s Diary."
"A Madman’s Diary..." The Magic Apprentice did not understand what it ant, why saying "madman"?
The audience was also curious and listened carefully.
"Tonight, the moonlight is good."
"I haven’t seen him for over thirty years; today I saw him, feeling exceptionally refreshed. Only now do I realize that all these thirty years were muddled; but I must be very careful. Otherwise, why would the Zhao family’s dog look at twice..."
The Magic Apprentice read on, and at first, it was fine, but the further he got, the more startled he felt.
This "Madman’s Diary" indeed narrated a "madman’s" story in the tone of the first person.
This madman feared everyone’s gaze, always felt people wanted to harm him, wanted to eat him.
When a doctor examined him, the suggestion was "complete rest," he thought it ant they wanted to fatten him up so others could eat more of his flesh.
The madman rembered his elder brother ntioning things like "children eat each other" and "skinning and eating flesh" and when recalling his sister’s death, his elder brother’s advice to their mother not to cry, he believed his sister was eaten by the elder brother.
"Very oppressive... very insane..." Reading up to here, the Magic Apprentice felt a heavy pressure in his heart.
And later on, it beca even more oppressive!
The more the "madman" resisted "eating people," the more he was deed "mad." When he was completely disillusioned with transforming his surroundings, he "recovered"...
"Eating people, eating people... why is it always about eating people..."
As he read aloud, the Magic Apprentice’s forehead broke into a cold sweat.
Sothing’s wrong!
On the surface, the madman seems abnormal, because who would always think others want to eat them?
Cannibalism is indeed despised by the laws.
Moreover, if the madman is a normal person, then does that an there’s really a group of cannibalistic monsters around him?
No matter whether the madman is normal or not, it’s frightening...
It wasn’t just the Magic Apprentice who thought so; all the other listeners felt the sa way.
It was too oppressive, too terrifying!
After reading it, the crowd couldn’t shake off the oppressive feeling for a long ti.
Until Daisa said softly, "Eating people... Have I been eating people all along..."
Eating people?!
Did Daisa eat people?!
The listeners were stunned, stepping back several steps in shock at this news.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and Daisa’s voice was low, so not many heard it.
Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Daisa ca to her senses.
She smiled, then said loudly: "The creatures that the madman feared and resisted were not real cannibalistic monsters, but rather the majority of previous mages and They..."
In the Faser language, the pronouns for he, she, it, and They are pronounced differently.
After all...
How could the noble They use the sa word as the lowly commoners?
