Chapter 32: Old Oak?

Old Oak was clutching a raw chicken leg in his left hand and a large piece of raw meat in his right hand, one on the left and one on the right, and his sparse beard was covered with scarlet blood.

The wooden table in front of him was littered with food scraps with blood on it, and it looked as tall as a hill.

Allen's heart was beating as he watched this scene.

Before Alan could react, Old Oak stuffed the meat in his hand into his mouth, held up a large stomach that was almost about to explode, and walked tremblingly towards the cabinet where the food was stored.

Reaching into his cloak, Alan pulled out a fragment of an axe from his sacrificial bag, his trembling right hand gripping the handle tightly.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a harbinger of turning into a monster.

The devil's mouth was wide open, and his tongue licked the handle of the axe, as if he couldn't wait.

Suddenly, a somewhat cold, but slippery hand pressed down on Allen's right hand.

It's Mia.

Alan stood in place, silently watching as Mia slowly walked in.

Old Oak opened the cupboard and pulled out a pile of raw meat, chewing on it in his mouth, a mixture of saliva and blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Old Oak, have you eaten?"

Mia stood in front of him, her voice still cold.

"Eh, it's Mia, I've just started eating. ”

Hearing Mia's voice, Old Oak turned his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and there was no whites in his small eyes, and his voice was slurred because of the large amount of food in his mouth.

"Then you eat slowly. ”

Mia said as she walked over to Old Oak.

Her right arm tapped Old Oak on the back.

Eren only felt a strange aura transmitted from Mia's right arm into Old Oak's body.

Old Oak froze in place.

After a few seconds, "Wow!"

He opened his mouth, spitting out a pile of flesh mixed with saliva.

Old Oak fell to his knees, his hand digging at his throat, and he began to vomit.

He kept spitting out piles of mixtures of stomach acid, blood, and food.

The mixture was almost liquid, giving off a disgusting smell.

Smelling that smell, Alan almost threw it up.

He quickly covered his nose and looked at Mia, who was walking towards him.

"He's fine, but you'd better get out. ”

Mia said as she opened the wooden door and walked out first.

Alan heard her words and followed suit.

Even though he closed the door when he came out, the smell that was ten thousand times more smelly than the plumber's towel still spilled through the crack in the door.

Many passers-by heard the sound of vomiting coming from the wooden house and smelled the stench, covered their noses, and walked quickly while looking at Alan and the two at the door strangely.

"Magician, do you need help?"

After receiving the report from the townspeople, the two guards hurried over.

They also covered their noses, and their faces did not look very good.

"No, please go back. ”

Mia shook her head.

Looking at the backs of the two guards leaving, Alan just wanted to open his mouth to ask Mia what was going on, but Mia opened his mouth and said, "Old Oak is out of control." ”

"Why didn't he turn into a monster?"

Hearing the word out of control, Allen's face couldn't help but become serious.

"Because his desires are instantly satisfied, if he has no food in front of him, then he will go out into the streets and catch people to eat, or, make a deal with the god of desire......"

Mia looked at the lights in the distance and said lightly.

"Old Oak didn't turn into a monster because there was enough food in front of him, but if I wasn't there, there were only two things that awaited him. ”

"Kill yourself, or eat all the food, and then become the state I just said. ”

Allen's face changed, and he was a little afraid, and asked, "How did you save Old Oak just now?"

"Magic, magic can kill, and it can also save people. ”

As soon as Mia's words fell, the vomiting in the room gradually stopped.

Magic...... Can it save people?

Alan was a little confused.

Mia opened the door, and the smell came to her face instantly.

Alan didn't even dare to look at the scene inside the house, because the taste was really spicy to the eyes.

Mia also stood on the side of the door, and she didn't know what her expression was under the cloak.

After the smell had subsided a little, Mia walked in the door.

Alan followed her.

The small wooden hut has long been stained with all kinds of undigested food scraps.

Old Oak lay in it, face down, his body covered in filth, apparently collapsed unconscious.

But his originally huge belly has shrunk to a near-normal size at the moment, and he should be out of danger of life.

"Lift him up, and we'll go to the guards. ”

Mia tilted her head, covered her face, and whispered.

"Huh?"

Alan looked at her, then at Old Oak, who was unconscious on the ground, gritted his teeth, and carried Old Oak on his back.

Resisting the urge to throw him off his back, Eren ran out wildly.

Looking at Alan's impatient and funny back, Mia couldn't help but chuckle.

But she seemed to think of something suddenly, and the glittering face under the cloak dimmed again.

She closed the office door and caught up with Alan.

"Find us a place where we can shower. ”

The two guards looked at Mia, who spoke, and then at the old Oak on Allen's back, and nodded.

It didn't take long for them to find a dwelling and ask the owner of the dwelling to prepare two large wooden basins filled with hot water.

Gently placing Old Oak in the large wooden basin to make sure he did not choke on the water, Alan took off his clothes and lay down in another wooden basin.

As soon as he got out of the water, Alan couldn't help but scream.

It's fucking comfortable!

It was the first hot bath he had ever taken since he crossed over.

For a moment, Eren lost the idea of fighting the monsters and finding his way home.

He just wanted to spend the rest of his life in this wooden basin with just the right temperature.

Just as Alan was relaxing himself, there was a knock at the door.

Outside the wooden door, Mia was still dressed in black, leaning against the door with a graceful posture, and her red lips opened lightly: "It's me." ”

"Old Oak shouldn't have woken up yet, right?"

Alan looked at Old Oak, still looking half-dead, with his mouth wide open, but his breathing was steady.

"Nope. ”

Is there anything that must be talked about when Old Oak is unconscious?

Alan was a little confused.

"There's something unusual about him. ”

Mia said: "Unless it is a person whose life is not satisfactory and has low self-control, he will become like him." ”

"But he was not short of money, and he was the manager of Afaryn's office in Graystone, neither of which he met. ”

"Even at this concentration of mana, Old Oak's performance is very abnormal. ”

Listening to Mia's words, Eren turned his head away, his dark eyes fixed on Old Oak's old face.

"Could he be a monster in disguise?"

Alan asked.

"Impossible, no matter how strong a monster is, it can't pretend to be a normal person without magic fluctuations. ”

"Still, I think you'd better keep an eye on him. ”

With that said, Mia walked away.
