Of course, Wood couldn’t know what was happening inside the temple. At this moment, he was sent back by his co-workers to the small house which was specially prepared for the single craftsmen among the pioneers. Although it was not big, it had all the things that he needed.

After a while, a grandmother came to the house and told Wood that she was the captain of the medical team in the town. She was responsible for caring for the injured and the sick. Every morning and evening, people from the medical team would come to his house to take care of him and check his wound to make sure that it wouldn’t get worse.

Wood felt warm in his heart. He said, smiling, “It’s just a scratch on my leg. It doesn’t affect my actions. No need to bother.”

“Don’t say that! Do you know how to care for the wound? Trauma needs fresh bandages to be re-wrapped regularly. Even if you have learned a little bit of bandaging, how can you compare with the people in our medical team!” The old grandmother was not tall, but she was vigorous with a pair of bright eyes. The kindness and concern in her eyes made Wood feel warm in his heart, so he couldn’t say anything to refuse her.

The grandmother checked his wound and nodded. “The priest in the temple wrapped this, right? I smell the healing potion. But to be honest, his technology is not as good as ours.”

Wood couldn’t help but smile. “Of course, you are professional!”

“Ha ha, young man, you are a sweet talker!” The old grandmother laughed happily. “But I am old. I’m not the one who has the best skill of wrapping wounds in the medical team. Next time I’ll bring her to help you change your bandages and wrap your wound, then you’ll know how good her skill is!”

Wood nodded repeatedly; he couldn’t help but be curious.

It was just a medical team in a town. To be honest, they were just some civilians who knew a little about bandaging. How did they have the confidence that they were greater than the priests who specialized in medical treatment?

The old grandmother might be bragging, but it was always better for the elder to be proud than to be frustrated.

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled one thing, so he curiously asked, “May I know your name? My name is Wood, and I am a carpenter.”

“I know that you are Carpenter Wood. It is written on your door plate, Carpenter Wood’s Home,” the grandmother said, smiling. “I’m Stinna. I used to be a maid. Now I am the captain of the medical team.”

“Maid?” Wood stunned, and he got more curious. Pyroxene Town was located in the Ashes Woods which was a really remote place. Even if a few rich people lived here, it was impossible to train a professional maid, let alone Grandma Stinna who knew how to read. The level was so high that he felt it was literally incredible.

If she was the wife of the former mayor or a high-level believer in a temple, then it would be normal. However, how could she be just a maid?

Stinna felt his astonishment, so she said with a smile, “That was a long time ago... When I was a maid of a big aristocratic family, whose name can’t be told because it may be troublesome if I say it, my young master read too many knight novels. Therefore, he wanted to be an adventurer. After learning some skills for a few years, he got a set of luxury equipment, and then he came out to adventure the world with a few recruits and me.”

“It was quite smooth at the beginning. He did a lot of famous things. Later, he got too confident and went to kill a dragon, and the result can be imagined... I was lucky enough to survive, but I dared not stay in the inland any more. I fled to the border area of the Ashes Woods, and suddenly it has been a few decades since then.”

Wood nodded repeatedly. He had even guessed the identity of the grandmother. An aristocratic son ran out, became an adventurer and finally died. After all, although the world was very big, and such examples were few. Taking the age of the grandmother into account, only one or two names were left.

Of course, he wouldn’t say it, so he just asked, smiling, “So... over the years, you have been a maid in this town?”

“No! I used to work in a temple of the Royal Crown (the Goddess of Wealth). Well, I was kind of a maid. Later, when Her Majesty joined hands with the Void Mask’s Majesty, I came to the Void Mask Land. Later, Town Mayor Felix recruited professionals, and I was very curious about her words ‘to build a town that achieves people’s ideals.’ So I began to work here.”

Grandma Stinna began to smile. “I’m afraid of leaking information, so I have not gotten married. I only adopted a few children. Now they are either priests or knights of the temple. They didn’t want me to work. They said that they wanted to provide me with the most stable and comfortable life in my old age, but after they came here to take a look, they were convinced.”

Wood was respectful. This grandmother was really extraordinary!

Her children were either priests or knights of the temple—how excellent this mother was!

Not to mention ordinary children, even in the aristocratic families, it was difficult to teach their children so well!

No wonder her temperament was very different from others! No wonder he always felt that he was controlled by her temperament when he was in front of her.

Thinking of this, he was shocked. He was afraid that he would show himself away carelessly. He hurriedly lied that he was dizzy. It was very common to feel dizzy when people lost too much blood. Grandma Stinna did not doubt that. She told him to have a good rest and stay in bed, and then she left.

...

Inside the temple of the Void Mask, the priest, who had just treated Wood’s wound, had taken Wood’s blood sample to the archbishop.

“Lord Archbishop, I just met a strange patient.” He told him the detailed situation of Wood and took out the blood sample.

The archbishop frowned with some doubts. The healing effect was poor? This matter was not big, but it was not small, either. Generally speaking, some creatures with lower-plane blood would have such a situation, so it was not very rare. In particular, the carpenter was particularly handsome, so it was likely that he had a bloodline of a monster such as a succubus. There was not much of this blood in his body anyway.

Anyway, he needed to check it first.

The most important reason why the archbishop could be sent to Pyroxene Town to preside over the work was that he was careful and steady in his work. He could cooperate well with Felix and Jose. Since he encountered a special situation, he would never give up until he knew the truth.

A moment later, when he came to the mayor’s office, Felix was sitting at her desk and studying several documents intently.

As Pyroxene Town gradually developed, the workload of the mayor gradually increased. Of course, Felix could find a few secretaries to help her. However, her original intention was to use these daily government affairs to hone her mind to make herself more mature and steady. Then she could be prepared for breaking into the Legendary Realm. Therefore, except for some meaningless trifles, she would deal with things that were a little more important in person. She was comparable to Zhuge Liang, a wise man in China who even personally checked on the small punishment of ordinary soldiers.

As a strong person with the blood of the legendary creature Phoenix, Felix’s physique was far superior to that of ordinary people. Of course, she wouldn’t get exhausted and die because of the torture of these government affairs. On the contrary, when the owner of legendary blood wanted to enter the Legendary Realm, the most important thing was the stability and maturity of the mind. Otherwise, when they were trying to break into the Legendary Realm, they might not be able to control the power of the blood and might become a demon beast.

There were a lot of such demon beasts. For example, Favnier, the Free and Weird Bird, who pretended to be a red dragon and worked part-time in the Land. According to his memories, he had originally been a person. He had liked to write some strange monster-themed novels in his spare time. Later, when he had tried to break into the Legendary Realm, something had gone wrong, and he had become a demon beast.

Although Favnier had become a demon beast and his temperament had changed greatly, his mind had still been clear, and that was the only lucky thing in this misfortune. There had been more legendary blood owners who couldn’t keep their minds and had become a monster without any wisdom.

Of course, Felix didn’t want such a result, so even though she hated the trifles, she still dealt with them little by little and dared not to be careless.

After listening to the introduction of the archbishop and looking at the blood sample, she frowned. The work that she was dealing with was not very important, so she put it away temporarily. Then, with the archbishop, she came to the Isuka School of Magic—a magic tower that belonged to her own.

Using some tools in the magic tower, she did several experiments and quickly determined the situation of Wood. Her brows wrinkled even more.

“He doesn’t have the blood of a lower-plane creature. His power was absorbed by a witch.” Looking at the results of the experiments and comparing them with the materials, she said with concern, “And, a lot of power was absorbed.”

“How much?” the archbishop asked, surprised. “How strong was he before his power was absorbed?

“It should be close to the high level, and might even have entered the high level.”

The archbishop was really shocked. High-level strongmen were very rare everywhere, so there were only two or three at most in ordinary cities. Because of the concerns of His Majesty, the Void Mask, Pyroxene Town could have so many masters. However, even so, there were only three high-level strongmen in the whole town—Jose in the Legendary Realm, Felix at the advanced legendary peak, and he himself who had just stepped into the high level.

In such a case, they had already formed a luxury army of masters. Even without Jose and Felix, he could be enough to hold a branch temple on his own.

Now, a high-level strongman appeared in Pyroxene Town. His power had been absorbed by a witch, who was a special monster from the lower plane, and he had become an ordinary person temporarily.

How could he not be worried because of this? How could he not be nervous!

“Ask him.” As for small things, the archbishop could deal with them on his own. As for big events, he could ask the mayor. As for disasters, His Majesty would support him in person. This was what Yan Xun had told him before he had taken the position. This was obviously a big event, so of course, the mayor should decide it.

“This monster, the witch, is a special product of hell. It is a transformed woman who was wronged and driven to death. They are very rare in this world,” Felix said in a low voice. “She is different from the succubus in the abyss. When the power is absorbed by a succubus, people can recover with the Advanced Restoration Spell. However, when the power is absorbed by a witch, they must know her superior lord and pray to get a response, asking the superior lord to order her to release the absorbed power. Otherwise, they can only be treated with legendary spells. Of course, it is okay to convince the witch, but this method is negligible.”

“According to my memories, unless she is summoned, a witch rarely steps into the world. Most people who can summon a witch can also control her. In other words, it may be a form of punishment to order a witch to absorb the power of the victim, although it this too harsh.”

“You mean that he came from a large organization? He left after being punished?” the archbishop asked.

“Probably. Let’s not act rashly for the time being. Just pay attention to him first.” Felix thought for a while, and then she said, “It is just in this time that Miss Graupel is living here. I will call Jose back to watch over, to make sure that there are no risks at all.”

“That’s so troublesome, isn’t it? Isn’t it better to ask him directly?”

“If he is willing, he will say so sooner or later.” Felix smiled. “I believe that no matter what Wood’s origins are, he will find a home for himself in this ideal town. I don’t care what he did in the past. As long as he stays here for a long time, sooner or later he will become a true resident of Pyroxene Town!”
