Chapter 478: Chapter 10: Appetite

Looking at Messiah’s helpless expression on the opposite side, Lynch suddenly had a funny feeling.

He explained, “Don’t panic, this is just appetite.”

Messiah asked in confusion, “Appetite?”

“But the appetite you mentioned to me last time wasn’t like this. You said it felt like discomfort in the stomach, like a pricking sensation. That was appetite, but now it’s not like that.” Fresh chapters posted on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Lynch asked, “What do you feel now?”

Messiah thought for a moment and uncertainly explained, “I…don’t know, just feel that the things in your hand…are very…very tempting, like I want to…want to take them in front of me, put them inside the body.”

Lynch nodded, “Yes, that is also appetite.”

He explained, “When a person is hungry, they want to eat, which is appetite; and when a person sees food exuding a fragrant, delicious smell and wants to absorb it into their body, that is also a form of appetite.”

“These are the most primal desires generated by a person’s need for food.”

Messiah murmured, “Desire?”

“So does this mean I already have desires?”

Before this trip, Lynch told Messiah that he wanted her to understand desire, to generate desire, to have desire, which was one of the purposes of their journey.

Lynch nodded, “You could say that, but it’s still far off. Desire is a broad concept; take your time to comprehend it.”

“Here, start with delicious food.”

Messiah took the grilled fish that Lynch handed over, and Lynch taught her step by step to cool the fish first, then tear off pieces and put them in her mouth.

When the soft fish melted in her mouth, when the delicious, fragrant, stimulating flavor surged up to her taste buds, Messiah’s expression noticeably trembled.

“This feeling…”

“The feeling…”

“It’s a very wonderful feeling…”

Indeed, practice makes perfect…

Because the newly made body needs adaptation and adjustment, in the Wizard Tower, Lynch usually didn’t feed Messiah and the others with food, but instead used other forms of Magic Potion and Nutrient Liquids that provided life energy, aiming to allow their bodies to better absorb and facilitate the growth of living cells.

But these things have no taste to speak of, purely providing energy for life operation. In terms of flavor, they’re not even as good as ordinary bread, let alone other worldly delicacies.

It’s the first time since her birth that Messiah has encountered food as delicious as the one before her eyes.

Lynch chuckled, “You’ll experience more in the future.”

“Remember this feeling well.”

…

A few days later, Ramding Kingdom, Dusk Town.

Dusk Town is a town in the southwestern part of the Ramding Kingdom, with a population of seventy to eighty thousand. Surrounding it are many forests rich in high-quality fur, attracting traders to come here for purchases all year round, making it a fur-producing trading town.

At noon, Lynch and Messiah walked into this small town.

What met their eyes was a cluster of low buildings, primarily wooden structures, with narrow streets and intricate alleys. The buildings were almost crammed together, with pedestrians, vendors, travelers, and various other crowds congesting the streets, creating quite a chaotic scene.

The smell of horse manure mixed with straw lingered on the streets, while ditches on either side were already clogged with mud and excrement.

For a moment, Lynch couldn’t help but feel a bit nostalgic.

It’s been a long time since he saw such an authentic medieval town…

In his Witch Domain, specialized talents were selected and trained to participate in urban planning, complemented by the use of a lot of magic assistance, resulting in beautifully built cities with wide streets, tidy houses, and various complete functions.

Not to mention anything else, just the existence of toilets, a cross-era product, has been practically established in the human towns under his Witch Domain.

Even though the appearance and style still belong to this world’s design, in terms of functionality, the human world under Lynch’s rule is no longer in the same era as other human habitats in this world.

A town like this, which emerged purely from natural human social activities without any planning, was something he had only seen almost 100 years ago during his travels through the Seven Kingdoms in the Ancient Ruins.

“Let’s go, take a walk.”

Lynch took Messiah into the crowd.

And just as Lynch and Messiah walked into the street, a few pairs of eyes on the street quickly fixed on them.

They were several men who had just walked out of a tavern on the street.

They were from an active slave trader group in the region, the Red Scorpion Gang.

Dusk Town is one of the larger towns in this area and happens to be situated in the center of several noble territories, naturally attracting people from various nearby places to its market.

Therefore, there are often traffickers active in these places capturing slaves, and the Red Scorpion Gang in front of them is one of them.

Their main targets for trafficking are women and children, especially children. As long as adults are slightly negligent, children in the market will be taken by them to be sold to other noble territories.

Girls are sent to brothels for training, while boys are sold to other nobles as slaves. Rumor has it some are even sent to Wizard Towers, but no one knows what happens there, and almost none ever come out alive…

As soon as Lynch and Messiah stepped into the town, these slave traders set their sights on them.

Having been in the business for years, they immediately recognized that Lynch and Messiah were outsiders visiting Dusk Town for the first time.

Even though they were wearing ordinary peasant attire, they looked clean with not even a flea on them, indicating a decent family background, but at the same time, their manners and behavior revealed that they weren’t nobles, only appearing to be from an ordinarily wealthy family.

Not nobility, born to a wealthy family, and hailing from somewhere else—when these three conditions combine in one person, in the eyes of these slave traders, it unmistakably translates to one word—

Fat sheep.

The leader of this group of slave traders, Balak, immediately signaled a few of his subordinates.

These subordinates understood instantly and dispersed, moving in from different directions to surround Lynch and Messiah.

In motion, Lynch raised an eyebrow.

At his level, his spiritual power had reached an astounding degree of sharpness.

As soon as the slave traders came closer, he immediately sensed several spiritual forces focusing on him, and from the composition of the spiritual power, he easily read a word:

Malice.
