Chapter 23: A Rare Holiday

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the next few days, Peter did not show any abnormalities.

He only silently patrolled the second underground floor as instructed by the higher-ups.

Because of the Holy Light Ball, the prisoners on the second underground floor didn’t harbor much hostility towards Peter and his team.

If they wanted to appear hostile, they had to consider whether they could withstand the illumination of the Holy Light Ball!

Therefore, most of the people on the second underground floor appeared very humble in front of Peter and his team.

As for Peter himself, he had also registered a few prisoners to increase the amount of magic power he could obtain!

On this day, Peter was patrolling the second underground floor.

Suddenly, he heard a dull thud.

Bang!

Peter immediately looked in the direction of the sound and found that a person quickly fell to the ground.

A prisoner had fainted!

Peter approached the prisoner’s cell door and found that the prisoner had indeed fainted!

He frowned slightly.

At this moment, he heard someone say, “This person has been fainting lately. I suspect he won’t last much longer.”

The one who spoke at this time was one of Peter’s subordinates.

“Is that so?”

Upon hearing this, Peter also looked at him in confusion.

“That’s right, Warden. I think it’s time we consider whether we should get rid of him!”

The subordinate replied.

Although he said so, to be honest, Peter felt that something was off with this matter.

Who were the people locked up on the second underground floor?

Those were all fellows who were much stronger than those on the first underground floor!

How could such a group of people simply die like that?

Therefore, Peter believed that there were still some unknown secrets behind this matter. He felt that necessary for him to keep a close eye on this person.

Let’s see what ulterior motives this Wilson has!

“Alright, I understand. I will keep an eye on this person, you go do your own thing!”

Peter glanced at his subordinate.

“Yes!”

The subordinate immediately retreated.

At the same time, Peter glanced at Wilson, who was lying on the ground.

He realized that Wilson appeared extremely weak as if he could take his last breath at any moment.

Peter didn’t pay any further attention to him. Instead, he got up and left the area.

This matter was like a small interlude, and it passed very normally.

…

But in fact, that night.

Peter began to use his keen intuition to monitor Wilson closely.

He chose not to surveil during the daytime, wanting to see if Wilson will drop his facade in the quiet of the night.

And from what it seemed, the situation seemed to be as Peter had expected.

When night fell.

Wilson finally revealed the surface illusion completely.

Peter found that he did not appear as severely injured as he did during the daytime, as if on the verge of death.

He quickly got up from the ground.

Alive and energetic, as if nothing had happened at all!

“As expected!”

Peter laughed.

Since this guy doesn’t seem to be in any major danger, it meant that there must be another reason why he pretended to be seriously injured.

Peter planned to expose this guy’s true intentions!

But he couldn’t say it openly in front of others!

Because in the eyes of ordinary people, the prisoner was just a person who had been seriously injured and on the brink of death.

And how did he notice his abnormality?

This was a very serious problem in itself!

Therefore, Peter could not explain it clearly!

He decided to secretly observe Wilson and pay attention to what he was up to.

Soon, the new year arrived.

The new year in this world was the day of the birth of the deities, and it was also one of the most important festivals in the kingdom.

As the new year approached, the higher-ups of the Wizard Tower also gave Peter and the others a holiday, allowing them to go out and have some fun.

This made Peter very excited!

Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had never had the chance to go out and have fun!

Because he had always been working in the Wizard Tower.

The original owner of this body was a poor young man from the countryside. He did not have much money on him.

He had never been to the city for fun.

Therefore, Peter had always looked forward to the day he could enter the city to have some fun.

He wanted to see what the local customs and culture of this world were like.

Today, there was finally such an opportunity!

Without a doubt, this also made Peter very interested!

He tidied himself up briefly and set off with his friends.

“Warden, your status is different now. I think you should invite us to have a meal at the restaurant!”

“Yeah, I heard that Old John’s Restaurant in the nearby city is quite good. They have very delicious southern specialties!”

The companions followed behind him and jeered.

“Sure, then let’s go to Old John’s Restaurant in the city to try it!”

Peter listened to everyone’s words and did not refuse.

After all, it was New Year, and everyone was in a good mood. As the Warden, it was only appropriate for him to treat his subordinates to some good food!

As they spoke, Peter led the group and arrived nearby the city.

Because the Wizard Tower he was in was located at the border area of the kingdom, the surrounding environment was relatively remote.

Although there was a city, it wasn’t large in scale and didn’t have a large population.

When Peter and the group of people arrived there, they felt that the atmosphere there was too different from what they had imagined.

He had thought that this place would be so lively and bustling. Now, it seemed that he had thought too much!

After all, Peter was a person with the mindset and experience of the 21st century. He was used to seeing prosperous big cities in the 21st century. How could he think that a small broken city in this place was so prosperous?

However, his subordinates were quite happy at this moment.

Because they were all natives who lived here and had never been to a city before, everything here seemed extremely intriguing to them.

They found everything fascinating!

It was as if they were naive country folks who had never seen the world!

But at this moment.

They saw a small bird shimmering with light flying towards them.

It was a magic message from the Wizard Tower, delivered in the form of a magic bird!

The magic bird flew in front of them and soon landed in Peter’s hand.

Everyone was somewhat astonished. They did not know what was going on.

Peter reached out and caught it.

Soon, he received a message from the Wizard Tower from the magic bird.

“Wilson is dead!”

Peter looked at the others.
