Section 1277: Night Crisis

The old scholar, Parsha, was leaning by the window, holding a tobacco pipe and puffing away. He had quit his smoking habit a long time ago, but because of the recent refugee crisis, in which many things were stolen and he lived every day in fear and anxiety, he had taken up smoking once again.

Recently, the war had temporarily ceased. The refugees had been sent back, and his mood had brightened considerably. His anxiety was gone, but the addiction to smoking had not.

In the past, his old friend Dim would nag him to quit smoking, but after the last event... when Young Master Pat created that magical rain of light, almost all the ailments of the people in Gru Town were cured, Dim had also picked up smoking again.

So now, neither of them advised the other.

Feeling the warmth from the fireplace and exhaling a thick puff of smoke, Parsha displayed a contented expression.

In the depths of winter, this is how one should enjoy life!
