655 Chapter 430: The Change of the Dune Lord and the Charm of Twilight City [2/3]
The soldiers unclocked the shackles made of unique materials.
Maddie stood before Richard again with a complicated expression on its face.
In just half a day, he had gone from a transcendent who wanted to rule the entire desert of death to a prisoner who had to pay all his chips to survive. Now, he was even arranged by the other party to teach a group of vulgar farmers knowledge.
Maddie no longer had any thoughts of anger or resistance, no matter how unwilling it was.
The loser never had the right to decide their fate.
Richard stared at Maddie with his deep eyes.
“I know that you are extremely unwilling and have a lot of resentment.”
“But Maddie, you’re a smart person. You know what to choose. Do your job well, and do not disappoint your students.”
Richard turned around and left with the crystal coffin.
After the war, it was more important to deal with the aftermath.
The enemies severely damaged Twilight City and lost several soldiers. It had too many trivial matters to deal with…
Maddie watched Richard’s back disappear and let out a long sigh.
It turned to look at the soldiers beside it.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
The soldier nodded without saying anything and led him out of the dungeon.
Maddie walked out of the dungeon and glanced at the afterglow of the setting sun. Tears almost flowed out.
Reborn.
It did not want to experience the feeling of being on the verge of death and dragged into the abyss at any time for the rest of its life.
After the soldier chatted with the others for a while, Maddie saw another soldier come over and take it in the opposite direction of the dungeon.
It saw the buildings destroyed by the flames of war on their way.
Broken streets, collapsed houses, arrow towers that had just been put out…
All eyes were in ruins.
Logically speaking, sorrow and pain should engulf this city since it has experienced an intense war.
However, the Dune Lord was surprised to find that the residents of this territory talked and laughed as they repaired various buildings.
They didn’t show any pain or sadness
Hope and antic.i.p.ation filled their eyes. That puzzled Maddie even more.
It was a gaze it had never seen before.
It wasn’t just one person who was like this. Other ordinary residents pa.s.sed by and were also like this.
Vitality and vigor shrouded their being.
It gave Maddie an extremely twisted feeling.
‘Why would a city deeply build in the desert have such emotions?
‘Did the grace mainland overlord cast a mental spell on these residents?’
However, it didn’t sense any mana fluctuations.
It conquered countless territories as a ruler and ruled over civilians.
Those lowly commoners only had fear, pain, and numbness on their faces.
This scene made Maddie feel incredulous.
However, its emotions were sparingly subtle when it returned to its senses.
In its opinion, what value could the commoners at the bottom have other than providing labor?
Those lowly existences should be enslaved with harsh punishments and made them work endlessly for the territory.
It only needed to squeeze out their last drop of blood!
There were plenty of people. So what if they died?
Maddie shook its head and followed the soldier to a residential building.
He met a seven or eight-year-old child on its way upstairs. The child looked at Maddie with fear and curiosity. Its wolf head was eye-catching.
The Dune Lord was too lazy to care about the curious gazes of these human cubs. Now, it did not have any guards to chase them away.
The guard a.s.signed Maddie a medium-sized but clean room.
This house was simply unsightly compared to the palace.
However, the Dune Lord was glad. This place was more comfortable compared to the dark dungeon.
The soldier did not stay for long and turned to leave.
Maddie was stunned. Wasn’t he afraid it would run away?
