After about ten minutes or so, the old man came down from the second floor with a set of brown clothes in his hand. He said in a low voice, "This is the smallest size of my clothes. You can't wear any of the others."
"Thank you, my dear neighbor." Glen took the clothes. He knew that with the old man's height and build, it was difficult to find clothes that fit him. Something was better than nothing.
He bowed slightly and then opened the door and left.
The old man kept looking in the direction Glen had left until the other's figure had disappeared for a long time before he let out a long breath. "Annoying kid..."
...
Having got the clothes, Glen almost trotted back to the house. He boiled some water, then rushed into the bathroom, filled the bathtub, then took off the clothes that made him very uncomfortable and lay in the warm water.
I don't know where this water comes from. There's no need to pay the water bill and it can be used all the time. I remember that in general, there would be something like a water and electricity bureau in such a town. I don't know if this town has one. But this town is strange in itself. It's normal to be able to use water all the time, I guess... Glen couldn't help but think while taking a bath. He was becoming more and more interested in this town.
After having a comfortable scrub, Glen immediately felt much fresher. He changed into the clothes the old man had given him. As expected, they were a bit big, but it was acceptable.
After tidying up the bathroom a little, he lit the kerosene lamp and sat in the living room, constantly thinking in his mind. The experiences today were a bit of a roller - coaster ride. All in all, things were not going smoothly. He just hoped that everything would go well tomorrow.
There were no mobile phones or entertainment here, and there was nothing much to do at night, so Glen went to bed early, preparing to get up early the next day.
At first, he couldn't fall asleep. He was a bit too excited from going to bed too early. Fortunately, he finally fell asleep.
Rustle...
A noise outside the house reached Glen's ears as he was sleeping. His sleep was very light, and soon he slowly opened his eyes.
He gently pulled back the quilt and got out of bed without making a sound.
He remembered that there seemed to be a similar noise on the first night after he transmigrated. He didn't know what was outside.
Could it be another monster like Abu? The original owner had been living here for so long without any accident. He was really lucky... Glen thought randomly in his mind and soon came to the window.
Looking through the gap in the window at the street, the dark vision was not a problem for Glen. He could see everything below clearly.
Without deliberately looking for it, he soon found the source of the noise.
It was an extremely slender creature. If its limbs were removed, it was more like a snake. Its whole body was pale, and its head was relatively round. At this time, it was carefully rummaging through something in his yard.
What was this thing again? Glen just felt a headache. He was almost speechless at the absurdity here.
This thing should have existed here for a long time. Since the original owner had been fine all along, it meant that the other side would not attack the residents easily. So I probably don't need to care about it... After a little thought, Glen finally decided not to bother with it and went back to bed to continue sleeping.
As expected, there was no danger this night, and Glen slept soundly until dawn.
Today, he still decided to go hunting. Although yesterday's encounter made him a bit depressed, he was not so easily discouraged.
This time, there were no accidents, and the hunting went quite smoothly. He and the beast caught eleven black pigs and another elk - like creature. It was a great harvest.
He randomly picked one, killed it, and made a wooden cart to carry it out of the forest, while the remaining prey was left in the traps and guarded by the beast.
Although pulling the cart was not too strenuous for Glen, he still felt a bit shabby.
If it weren't for the fear of scaring others with the beast, I wouldn't... He complained in his heart, but his pace was not slow.
Since he didn't know if he could sell the prey, it was better to arrive at Dude Town as early as possible, so that at least he could go home before it was completely dark.
...
At this moment, Bob and the two strong men had just arrived at Dude Town not long ago. The fright from yesterday made them dare not keep running on the dark road, so they found a hidden cave and spent the night there.
This also made them miss the two girls who followed later.
After the fear, they walked quickly back to the town the next day with the rising sun.
They were very low - key in the town and didn't do anything to attract attention. They just walked through one street after another until they came to the entrance of a dark alley.
The people here were all small hooligans and beggars. It could be seen that there were few security guards or almost no management here.
There were many such places in the town, and it was easy to get away if they were checked.
The several people walked very skillfully in the alley. There was a lively room ahead, and the noise inside could be heard from far away. There were two strong men standing straight outside as guards.
The guarding strong men saw the approaching three people. They seemed to already know who they were and did not stop them but let them enter the room.
The noisy room was full of people drinking. They were talking loudly and using foul language, and their behavior matched their appearance very well.
The entry of Bob and the others didn't attract much attention.
"We're back. Please inform Lord Glass." One of the strong men walking with Bob walked up to a man with a moustache standing in the corner and said.
The other man looked at the newly - arrived people one by one, nodded, and walked into the inner room.
After a few minutes, the man with the moustache walked out again and said to the people, "My lord lets you in."
Hearing this, the three people immediately became nervous, thinking about how to start talking in a while so as to avoid punishment.
However, what should come will come. When the three people faced the strong figure standing in front of the fireplace, all the words they had thought of became jumbled.
"So, you gave up the target at hand just because you saw a monster and ran back like a stray dog?"
The deep voice made the three people who were flusteredly explaining immediately shut up and tremble with their heads down.
The strong figure turned his face, revealing his terrifying appearance. His red eyes, fangs protruding from his lips, were very similar to the green - skinned orcs in World of Warcraft, but this world didn't have orcs, and he wasn't one either.
Although he had seen Glass's face more than once, it was still as shocking as the first time every time.
"Please listen to our explanation! Lord Glass, I have never seen such a monster. It felt very terrifying to me. It was stronger than a male lion! If we hadn't escaped in time, we would all be dead!"
"I only know that you messed everything up." Glass's voice was calm, and he winked at several strong men who had been standing beside him all the time.
Receiving the instruction, several strong men dragged Bob and the others out. According to the rules, those who did things badly would all pay the price of one finger. If there were not a shortage of people, the punishment would be a hundred times heavier.
Glass completely ignored the pleas of the three people.
"How much life energy do you still lack?" He suddenly said a sentence whose meaning was not clear.
But at this time, there should be no one in the room except him.
"The more the better, my reliable friend. You have already experienced the feeling of power, haven't you? Find more young lives and sacrifice them to me. When I fully awaken, I will finally take you to the highest position."
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in the room, answering Glass's question.
