I’m the King Of Technology

Chapter 728: Monster Girl

The duo ran as fast as she could to the town square.

And even though the town wasn't as large as a city, one shouldn't underestimate its size.

Just the properties that the nobles alone had within the town, coupled with the well-spaced out homes and farms... it took them 47 minutes to get to the town square from her home.

And as they passed, they heard several weird noises coming from these noble estates and properties.

They even witnessed a noble getting dragged on the floor, which made their eyes almost fall out.

What the **** was going on?

These nobles were like giants in their hearts that could never be defeated.

So why did they seem like toys in the hands of these soldiers?

"Sister, they're powerful!"

"Yeah... but what did these nobles do to get dragged like this?"

"I don't know sister, but I'm glad they did.

Have you forgotten how Baron O'Hara's wife threw boiling water on your face?

Now, half of it is burnt!

I'll never forgive them for what they did to you!" 

Naomi looked at her brother and sighed.

She once accidentally angered a noble's wife while eating outside a restaurant.

And the noblewoman, whose husband owns the restaurant asked for then to bring a jug of hot water over.

The results were as such.

She was allowed to move the whole time the entire jug of hot water was dumped on her.

So half of her face and scalp had been burnt.

Such was the life of the poor.

She could only blame herself for passing by and eating outside the restaurant at that unfortunate time.

Now with her face disfigured, who would marry her?

.

The incident happened just last year.

And after that, her fiance's family cancelled the engagement because they were afraid that she would birth ugly children.

Now, she was already 16 this year and no man had proposed or even offered to date her after she got burnt and dumped.

The entire town looked at her in fear.

She was the town monster.

Naomi shook her head in an attempt to get rid of her sad emotions.

She didn't want her brother to know her thoughts, so she focused her attention on the scene she had just witnessed.

What intrigued her was the scene where these noblemen got dragged.

But remembering the words from the town crier, it seems that her curiosity would only be satisfied once she gets to the square.

With that, she dragged her brother's hand and speeded up again.

The duo finally arrived on the scene and as expected, many distanced themselves from them all because of Naomi.

Some even closed their children's eyes, as they heard all sorts of tales about Naomi.

"I heard that after the incident, she started having nightmares that connected her to several demons."

"That's old news.

Not only had she been in contact with them, but she's also cursed with bad luck too.

That's why her father died within the same year that she got burnt.

She probably killed the poor man and offered his soul to the demon."

"But didn't the healer say that her father died of overwork?"

"Pui!

What overwork?

I heard that she bribed that healer to say so."

"What?

How terrible!"

"That's only half of it.

I heard that she is actually the witch Pangera, and those creatures in the cave are her pets.

It's said that once they die, she too will die since she signed a blood oath with them."

"But if she's really the witch, then why doesn't anyone burn her?"

"That's because she's just too strong!

She got burnt in a large fire and didn't die.

So what can anyone do?"

"Wait...

Didn't she get burnt from hot water and not fire?"

"_"

.

Sure enough, all sorts of made-up stories about Naomi came up.

Only a few people saw the scene when the noblewoman poured hot water on her.

And even though the word spread like wildfire... every time it passed from one mouth to another, the story changed.

The result was that now, she had magically become a witch.

But they were still too scared to make a move on her because of the magnitude of the stories.

Who knew if she would **** out their souls after attacking her?

No one dared to go against her or her near to her.

Logan clenched his fists angrily, while Naomi didn't care at all.

This was normal for her.

And the only reason why she came here again was because she was curious about anything concerning these Baymardians.

They were the only ones who didn't shy away from her or look at her in fear or disdain.

Please!

These Baymardians had seen patients with cleft lips that were shooed and abandoned by society.

So what more of her who just got accidentally burned?

What demon?

.

Even though many people were getting more aware of some things, many were still ignorant.

It was only unfortunate that many from this town who went to Baymard didn't see how these Baymardians treated disable or injured people.

Or else they would be shocked.

One should know that visiting Baymard for these people was like travelling for holidays, since they worked 24 hours a day.

So they only went to Baymard when they had saved up a lot of money or needed medical help.

And even when they went, they only stayed for at most 3 or 4 days to eat, buy things for their families and whatnot.

So there were still many things that they weren't aware of.

And some have never even seen Baymard too.

As for Naomi, she went there last year to seek help.

Her neither had given her all his savings.

But surprisingly, she had stayed in the same ward with a 45-year-old last who opted to pay for all her follow up expenses.

And ever since she followed their treatment plan, her burn marks were already healing and diminishing nicely.

She was burnt with a jog of hot water and not actual fire.

So it wasn't too skin deep.

It was just a matter of time before she got healed up... at least that's what the doctor in Baymard told her.

Anyway, these Baymardians had always treated her with love and not disdain or fear.

So she always felt like they were amazing people.

That said, once she heard the town crier say that a new change was upon Menda Town, she knew that it involved these Baymardians from the Capital city.

That's the main reason why she was so excited.

.

Time passed by fast.

And soon, most people had arrived... as well as Jamison, the Baymardian officials and some soldiers.

Everyone quieted down and looked at the podium enthusiastically.
