The next day.

Early in the morning.

A family in Rock Town realized that their pig was missing and hurriedly called for the others to help search.

The town’s economy was mediocre to begin with. A pig’s value was not low.

The group of people searched and followed the traces to the nearby mountain.

“Ah…”

A scream caused countless birds to fly up, and the forest instantly became lively.

The person who helped find the pig quickly arrived at the location of the scream with various weapons in his hand.

“What’s going on?”

Someone looked at the person who was screaming.

The man looked horrified and pointed ahead.

Everyone followed the direction of his finger and their expressions quickly changed.

A perfectly fine cave had actually collapsed for no reason!

“How could this be?!”

“There didn’t seem to be any movement yesterday.”

“I think I saw the mayor coming up the mountain yesterday…”

When the last person’s voice sounded, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at that person.

“You said the mayor brought this down?”

After a long time, someone pointed at the cave and asked in a daze.

The pile in front of him was at least dozens of square meters. How could he do it alone?

Moreover, they did not hear any commotion yesterday.

This time, no one was interested in finding the pig. They all turned around and returned to the town.

Then, when it was dark, someone realized that something was wrong.

Ye Tian was missing?

…

After using magic to kill the vampire yesterday, Ye Tian wasn’t sure if it was because he hadn’t used magic for a long time or because he was feeling better.

After returning to the town, Ye Tian realized that his bottleneck had loosened.

He was about to break through to become an Intermediate Mage.

Thinking about it carefully, Ye Tian felt that it was ridiculous. If he did not know that he had an unlimited lifespan, he would have given up long ago with his current breakthrough speed.

Therefore, he placed great importance on the breakthrough.

After returning home, he immediately began to work on breaking through.

Firstly, to avoid being disturbed, Ye Tian even set up a magical array around the house to prevent people from coming over and making noise.

After that, Ye Tian began to meditate, searching for the last opportunity to break through.

At that moment, Ye Tian had no idea that there were people standing outside his house, chattering nonstop.

“Why can’t I get in?”

“What did the mayor do?”

Everyone was stunned.

They did not understand why Ye Tian would suddenly close his door and not leave. He even stopped his daily patrols.

As the days passed, the number of people surrounding Ye Tian’s house slowly decreased.

After all, they still had to live their lives.

The war at the front line of the Red Moon Empire still did not stop. In fact, it was getting more and more intense. At this point, the situation of the Red Moon Empire was not good.

As the opponent, the Frost Snow Empire had clearly come prepared. They planned to devour the Red Moon Empire in one go.

Hence, even a Great Mage had appeared on the battlefield.

Both sides had already invested more than a million ordinary soldiers.

In cities close to the battlefield, many residents migrated with their families to settle further away.

Someone from the capital had proposed a peace negotiation, but it was directly rejected by the Monarch. The enemy Empire was clearly here to destroy the country.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

After losing Ye Tian’s jurisdiction, Rock Town had undergone many changes. The biggest incident was a fierce battle three years ago.

At that time, there was a conflict between outsiders. There was a violent conflict in Rock Town, and a large number of houses in the town collapsed and were stained with blood.

When the natives of Rock Town saw this situation, they were terrified and avoided it. Most of them chose to move out of the town.

Later on, when the incident subsided, Rock Town had three more big gangs. The town was also jointly discussed by the leaders of the three gangs and changed its name to “Free Town”.

From then on, Free Town became more inclined to trade, and the flow of people was very complicated. The three gangs were each in charge of an area and charged a certain amount of management fees to maintain their livelihood.

The only difference was Ye Tian’s house.

It was as if Ye Tian had left a deep impression on people. Even though he had not appeared for a few years, no one dared to disturb his home.

On this day.

On a river that flowed from the north to the south outside Free Town, a figure appeared. This person stepped on the river and broke through the waves. He was very fast and only stopped at the ferry crossing of Free Town.

This novel scene gathered many people and they all looked at the person who came.

“This is Rock Town?”

The person asked loudly. He was wearing a mage’s robe, and his hair was draped over his shoulders. There were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were bright and his mental state was very good.

“Sir, this place has been renamed Free Town.”

Someone mustered up the courage to answer.

The disheveled man understood and swept his gaze over. “Who’s in charge here now? I want to find someone. Whoever helps me find him will be rewarded!”

The surroundings were in an uproar. Many people were eager to give it a try.

After all, walking on water was enough to show that the man’s strength was extraordinary. To be able to help such a person, if they could leave a good impression and form a good relationship with him, they would definitely benefit endlessly in the future.

Just as someone was about to step forward, a few people in uniform appeared.

One of them stepped forward and bowed respectfully. “Sir, please follow me. Our three gangs have taken over Free Town for three years. We can help you find anyone you want.”

Todd Lagren glanced at him and nodded before following him into Free Town.

Along the way, news of Todd walking on water had already spread throughout Free Town.

Therefore, the two sides of the road were filled with people who had come to watch the show.

Even in an era without war, mages were rare.

Now that a powerful mage had suddenly come to Free Town and issued a commission mission, anyone would be curious.

Todd did not seem to feel the gazes around him.

The person who led the way was afraid of neglecting Todd, so he asked politely, “Sir, how should I address you?”

“Todd Lagren,” Todd replied indifferently.

Free Town was jointly managed by three gangs, so after discussion, the leaders of the three gangs decided to build a mansion in the town and work there together.

At this moment, the three of them stood at the door and looked nervously.

Just now, their subordinates suddenly reported that a mage had appeared at the town’s ferry.

The three of them did not dare to underestimate him.

Although they were in charge of the town now, they actually relied on martial arts. Facing people with magic, the strength they were proud of was nothing.

This was also the reason why the three gangs did not dare to disturb Ye Tian even though they had been in charge of Free Town for three years.

These three people were an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.

Although their ages were different, their methods were not ordinary.

The three of them had obtained a lot of benefits in the past three years, and their subordinates were expanding.

At this moment, the three of them were discussing softly. In fact, they were secretly planning how to gain the favor of the mage and deal with the other two opponents.
