Immortal Mage: I Just Have To Wait It Out - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Trouble Comes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Night fell.

With a torch in his hand, Ye Tian walked on the streets of Rock Town.

“I’m afraid I haven’t had a good night’s sleep lately.”

The news of the rebel army spread in the Red Moon Empire. Although the Monarch had already given the order, they could not do anything to those people for a while.

The main reason was that the number of rebels was small. Unless there were special circumstances, they would not enter the city.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the search.

Ye Tian learned from passing merchants that he had encountered a small town not far from Rock Town half a month ago.

It was also for this reason that even though the sky was already dark, he still chose to come out and patrol.

There was no electricity in this world, so there were no lights.

Once night fell, the town was enveloped in darkness.

Walking through the town, Ye Tian could hear his footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat.

Occasionally, one could see flames coming out of the windows in the town.

In fact, when the news of the defeat was sent back from the front line, someone in the town had already moved out.

Those people moved to Kurtz City.

Compared to a small town, a city had tall and sturdy walls, and it also had more defensive power.

While Ye Tian was patrolling, a dozen furtive figures slowly approached from one side of the town.

A group of people stood in front of the guardrail.

Pidge glanced at it and lowered his voice.

“I have to be fast later. I’ll subdue Harun’s daughter first, then find the gold.”

“I’m really not joking. There’s someone called Ye Tian in the town who’s surprisingly strong. He can even withstand a palm from a grizzly bear.”

“Let’s try not to fight him head-on.”

When the scar-faced man heard this, he had the intention of boosting the morale of others and decreasing his own prestige.

He snorted coldly. “What are you talking about? He’s a brat who hasn’t even been on the battlefield. Why should I be afraid of him?!”

The others echoed, their words thick with mockery.

“What a joke. Open your dog eyes and see how many people we have here!”

“Are grizzly bears very strong? We’ve even killed tigers before.”

“If anyone dares to stop us today, I’ll cut them into pieces.”

These rebels were deserters on the battlefield, so they were very sensitive.

Once they heard that someone was looking down on them, they immediately wanted to prove themselves, as if this would change the fact that they were deserters because they were timid and afraid of death.

Pidge remained silent and led the group into the town.

It was obvious that he agreed with them.

At the end of the day, Ye Tian was alone and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

In the dead of night, the sudden cry of a bird startled everyone.

“Damn it, where did that sound come from?”

The scar-faced man frowned and turned to look at someone. He sniffed.

“Did you wet your f*cking pants?”

The others also turned their heads. That person was relatively short. Being surrounded by everyone, he nodded in embarrassment.

The scar-faced man spat to the side and snorted. “Useless thing.”

Pidge was in charge of leading the way. When he heard the commotion behind him, he could not help but turn around.

“Do we have to wake up the whole town? !”

The scar-faced man’s eyes turned cold and unfriendly.

However, Pidge did not retreat this time. He said again, “Think about why you chose to enter the town at night instead of during the day!”

With that, he set off again.

This time, the scar-faced man’s expression was ashen. Someone beside him wanted to speak, but he raised his hand to stop him.

He had no choice.

Pidge was right. Although they were arrogant, they did not dare to enter the town during the day because they were worried that they would be surrounded.

The team fell silent.

Pidge was very familiar with Rock Town. After a few twists and turns, he arrived at Harun’s house.

He tried to push the door open and found that it was locked. He turned around and looked behind him.

Someone stood up and took out an item that looked like a hook. It looked like a lock pick tool.

He leaned against the door and fiddled quickly.

“Who? Who’s out there?”

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded from inside. It was filled with wariness.

Windsor had to wait for Ye Tian to return every day before she dared to fall asleep.

She had just gotten up to go to the toilet and was about to return to her room when she suddenly heard a small commotion. She immediately came over to check.

The door had been specially modified by Ye Tian and would not be opened unless it was dawn.

However, Ye Tian never went through the main door. He usually chose to climb over the wall when he returned.

There was dead silence outside. No movement at all.

Windsor firmly believed that she was not hallucinating. She slowly approached and realized that there was indeed a hook in the crack of the door. It seemed to be unlocking the door.

“Ahhh!!!”

Knowing that bad people were coming, Windsor screamed subconsciously.

As she did not know where Ye Tian was, the only way to get him back as soon as possible was to attract Ye Tian’s attention.

Outside the door.

“Oh no, this girl found out!”

The scar-faced man’s expression changed. He stepped forward and pulled the person who unlocked the door away, kicking the door heavily.

Boom!

The door swayed and made a violent noise, but it did not fall.

“What are you waiting for? Attack together and tear down the door.”

The scar-faced man was stunned for a moment before ordering.

Windsor, who was inside, heard the cold voice outside. She stepped back into the room and locked the door.

“Brother Ye, where are you?”

“Come back here.”

Windsor was at a loss. In her 20 years of life, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

It was said that the evildoers who committed theft at night were very ferocious. They were often ruthless and killed without blinking.

Moreover, these people had always collected both wealth and beauty.

Hearing the sound of the door being kicked, Windsor was so anxious that she was about to cry.

She hid behind the window and stared at the door. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Windsor kept calling Ye Tian’s name in her mind but it didn’t seem to work.

After repeated collisions, the door cracked under the pressure, and some wood shavings flew out for a few meters.

Under the night sky, more than ten figures rushed into the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Windsor lost all hope.

At this moment, it was useless even if Ye Tian came. There were too many people.

How could Ye Tian have any chance of winning alone?

“Ye Tian is nowhere to be seen after such a huge commotion. That girl must be alone at home. Hurry up and find her.”

Pidge analyzed calmly and quickly made arrangements.

The scar-faced man glanced at him as if he was unhappy that his commanding rights had been snatched away.

However, gold was the most important thing now. He did not say anything else and waved his hand to signal the others to do as they were asked.

These people lit their torches and clearly did not intend to continue sneaking around.

Windsor looked at the vicious people and her heart pounded. She clenched her clothes tightly.

When she saw someone approaching her room, Windsor felt her legs trembling.

‘Brother Ye, why aren’t you back yet…”

Windsor panicked.

Boom.

The door was pushed open, and the firelight shone in.

“Big Brother, that girl is here!”

When the burly man at the door saw Windsor hiding under the window sill, his eyes widened.
