I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 156: Chapter 157: The Warm Daily Life of the Residents
 

In late April, the weather had fully warmed up, and the residents of Dawn City were donning thin and bright new clothes.

The young girls swapped into their favorite long dresses, while the boys put on smart short sleeves, filling the entire city with vitality.

Near the square, a bakery that wasn’t too busy before noon had a few middle-aged aunties sitting around a round table, chatting away.

The bakery’s owner, a plump auntie dressed in a red long dress with a face full of freckles, had managed to set up a delicious bakery in Dawn City after applying to the City Hall thanks to her family’s traditional skills.

At this moment, the plump auntie was casually chatting with the others.

“Have you heard? It seems that Lord Kachar’s new breeding farm has not only pigs but also Demon Beasts… I swear on the Divine, this news must be true.”

For the ordinary citizens of Dawn City, anything happening in the city would undoubtedly catch their attention immediately.

The construction of such a large breeding farm naturally aroused the curiosity of countless people, especially these older aunties.

One of them, a slightly younger lady with beautiful blonde hair, had a look of deep admiration in her eyes.

“Lord Kachar is a great Divine; his breeding farm is naturally different.”

The rest weren’t surprised to hear the blond lady’s reference to Lide.

Recently, as the Dawn Sect took root in the city, the widespread belief that the Divine of Dawn was none other than their City Lord, Lord Kachar, had flourished.

Due to Lide’s enormous influence, the number of believers in the Dawn Sect had been growing rapidly every day, with more and more people worshipping the great Lord Kachar.

Besides the blonde lady, at least half of them had been to Dawn Church for prayers.

A skinny auntie dressed in a black skirt lit up with excitement and eagerly chimed in, “This topic is really fabulous,

I heard that the breeding farm also has an alchemy creation that automatically produces running water with a simple twist of a switch.

The water flowing from the pipes is as clean as spring water from the mountains, and as long as the switch isn’t turned off, the water will never stop flowing.

It’s even more magical than Magic.”

The plump auntie in the red dress nodded in agreement.

“I heard from the neighbor’s young man that this marvelous thing is called ‘Self-come’ water and it seems to be designed by Lord Kachar himself.

It’s hard to imagine how such a thing that never stops flowing could be made, it’s probably only something a Divine Artifact could do, truly magnificent…”

“Divine above, that must be a real miracle”

The blonde lady’s face showed a bit of longing, followed by a hint of disappointment.

“Though, I heard the breeding farm has already been restricted, and outsiders can’t just enter. Otherwise, I would really love to witness that everlasting ‘Self-come’ water… Lord Kachar’s masterpiece must be truly awe-inspiring.”

Before the plump auntie in the red dress could speak, her eyes caught sight of the One-eyed Giant child playing on the street corner.

“I’m going to play with Little Kosso”

She said with a smile, stood up, grabbed a few pieces of white bread from the table, and went outside.

“Little Kosso, come here, have some bread~”

The One-eyed Giant child turned its head abruptly upon hearing the sound, and upon seeing the plump auntie, it showed a naive smile.

The One-eyed Giant child’s intelligence was equivalent to that of a 7 or 8-year-old human and it could recognize people.

It was quite fond of the humans who frequently fed it.

It trotted over to the bakery, and although still a child, its frame stood three blades high, weighing four to five hundred pounds, immense in size.

Every step caused the ground to tremble slightly.

“Thank you~”

The naive voice was in the standard common language of the continent, a pastime taught by the residents to this “little one.”

The One-eyed Giant child threw the pieces of bread into its mouth in one breath, chewed twice, and swallowed directly. What could satiate an adult halfway was like a mere peanut to it, and after finishing, it still looked eagerly at the plump auntie.

“Hahaha, I don’t have anymore, come back tomorrow, come let me pet your head~”

At these words, a trace of sadness emerged in the immense single eye of the One-eyed Giant child, but for the sake of the tasty white bread, it obediently squatted down and nudged its bald head over.

The gray-white skin, filled with wrinkles like tree bark, felt somewhat rough, but the plump auntie adored it.

She could never have dreamed that one day she would be able to touch the head of a One-eyed Giant, a creature of legend.

It was simply fantastical.

Praise Lord Kachar, praise Dawn City!

At that moment, a patrol of the Security Team passed by, dressed in neat and tidy uniforms. Leading them was a pale-faced Holy Light Bloodline.

The daytime patrol seemed to wear on it.

The wings on its back slightly unfurled, with Tusk-like fangs sharp as bayonets.

The One-eyed Giant child respectfully made way upon seeing the Security Team, looking at the leading Bloodline with a hint of fear.

The scorching Fireball that could devastate the world had left a deep shadow on it over the Giant Valley, so it felt some trepidation toward the Bloodlines.

And the Bloodlines, often harsh in their duties, had given the mischievous One-eyed Giant child a fair share of beatings, instilling a certain fear of the Security Team in the gigantic “little one.”

“Lord Hani…”

“Good day, Lord Hani…”

“…”

Passersby all greeted the leading Bloodline member.

“Little Kosso…” The leading Bloodline member smiled faintly upon seeing the One-eyed Giant cub and was about to speak.

Ah~ The One-eyed Giant cub was frightened into a shiver, shouting like a child caught doing something wrong, and in the blink of an eye, dashed off without a trace.

There was a moment of silence, leaving only a few people exchanging awkward looks.

The plump aunt flashed a smile and politely said, “Good day, Lord Hani, would you like to come in and try our newly baked bread?”

“Thank you, no need.”

The leader of the Bloodline deftly touched their chest and then glared fiercely at a few Security Team members behind them who were stifling laughs before turning to leave.

The Security Team members, holding back their amusement, stepped in an orderly fashion to follow.

The plump aunt showed a sincere smile upon seeing this scene.

Humans and Bloodline patrolling together, One-eyed Giants living in harmony with civilians, such fantastical scenes that even wandering bards wouldn’t dare to invent, only to be seen in Dawn City.

Praise the great Dawn City!

The plump aunt turned to enter the house once the Security Team had left, and just as she sat down ready to continue chatting with the others in the house, in came a young man looking spry.@@novelbin@@

The youth wore a black short-sleeved shirt and his short, golden hair was incredibly crisp and handsome.

“Aunt Mary, I’m here to buy some bread.”

Hearing that voice, a group of women turned around and upon seeing the newcomer, all showed a bit of a smile.

“Jie Mi, doesn’t the farm finish work only at noon? Why are you back now?”

“Is this Old Gene’s son? What a surprise, you’re much more handsome than Old Gene.”

“Ha ha, if Old Gene hadn’t said so, I would bet that no one would believe such a spirited young man could be his son…”

The aunts started off well enough, but then, as they chatted, the topic drifted.

“Jie Mi, do you have a girlfriend? Let Aunt Lina introduce you to a young girl…”

“What kind of girl do you like? My neighbor has a very beautiful daughter…”

“With looks like yours, there must be many girls who like you…”

Jie Mi, sweating profusely under the interrogation of the aunts, looked pleadingly at plump Aunt Mary for rescue.

“Alright, let’s not trouble Jie Mi any further.”

Mary, somewhat amused, looked at them as she stood up, her red skirt trailing, and took several white loaves smeared with honey from the bread shop’s counter to hand to Jie Mi.

“The bread has just been baked, and the honey was bought from the store only yesterday.”

After saying this, as if a thought struck her, she asked curiously, “Jie Mi, don’t you work at the farm? Do they really have tap water there that’s even more magical than Magic?”

The other aunts immediately shifted their attention from Jie Mi’s love life to the matters of the farm.

“Did Lord Kachar really domesticate powerful Demon Beasts there?”

“Is there really an alchemy item that keeps springing water without ever drying up?”

“How was the tap water constructed? Can only Mages use it?”

Jie Mi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

“The tap water at the farm was personally designed and constructed by Lord Kachar, and it just came into use a few days ago,” he said, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration.

“Just like in the legends, all you need to do is turn on the tap, and water will keep flowing out, and you don’t need a Mage to operate it, I’ve turned on a faucet myself.”

Jie Mi said with pride on his face.

He felt honored to work on the farm for Lord Kachar.

The tap water was indeed magical and convenient, and even though he had witnessed its creation, he still found it incredible.

Lord Kachar is truly great!

Hearing this, everyone became even more interested.

“That’s amazing, how is such an alchemy creation made?”

“Jie Mi, please tell us more…”

Half a day later, Jie Mi, who had been happily chatting with a group of aunts, suddenly slapped his forehead as if he remembered something, and said with annoyance, “Damn it, this is bad, I actually forgot that I needed to go to the blacksmith’s shop to pick up a spare faucet.

Lord Randy will kill me for this. Ladies, I have to go.”

After saying that, he grabbed the white loaves and ran towards the door, accidentally slipping on the ground and taking a hard fall.

Just as Jie Mi got up, a well-dressed young girl passed in front of him, causing the big lad’s face to turn beet red. How embarrassing.

The bread shop erupted into laughter at this sight.

The air was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Everyday life for the residents might seem ordinary, but in this world, for the common folk at the bottom to have the luxury of joyful laughter, perhaps only a city filled with Magic Power like Dawn City could allow these commoners to live so carefreely.
