Chapter 315: Performance
"Leave? No one is allowed to leave! ”
Just as the village chief of Jia'en Village persuaded Edward to pack his luggage and lead the team away, a shrill voice suddenly came from outside the house, and when he looked up towards the door, he saw a short black old man who looked like a skinny monkey with open arms and stood guard at the gate.
The old man is very thin, but his momentum is not weak.
Seeing the visitor, the village chief, who had persuaded Edward, changed his face, and after a long silence, he shook his head bitterly and let out a slight sigh.
Hearing the sigh, the thin old man guarding the door immediately glared.
"Bruce, you've been following the caravan for two years, fooled by those greedy, damn bloodsuckers! These people are gone, what do we do? Do you want to live in the future? ”
Hearing the old man blocking the gate say this, the village chief bit his lip, his eyes were full of sorrow, and after a long time, he looked up at the old man in front of the door, and said with a struggling expression: "Kaeya, as long as you don't say it, we can hide it." ”
Compared with the "indecisive" village chief Bruce, the old man Kaia was much more resolute, he firmly held the gate, and said coldly: "I can't hide it, do you think that all the drop spiders in our village are raised by me alone?" There are some dropdrops that aren't mine, and just now, a few batches of dropdrops left, and I think Bruce you understand what that means. ”
Speaking of this, the old man Kaeya paused, and after seeing the tangled expression of the village elder in his village, he continued to say in a cold voice: "The drop spider has gone back, and if those noble lords know about our side and the existence of these people, do you think if we continue to hide it, we can still get the things from previous years?" ”
"Things, things, those things given in previous years are only enough for a small group of people to live!" The village chief held his head and screamed in pain.
"Bruce, you go out to meet the market and know more, I'm not as good as you, but I know a little, without those things, my granddaughter would be more dangerous this year! Just after the earthquake, the flood broke out, and the batch of rations allocated by the nobles every year was a lifesaver for my granddaughter! I can't let anything go wrong with the things that are coming next month! Bruce roared, and so did Old Man Kaeya, his eyes glaring like a madman.
Bruce glanced at the young priest Edward standing beside the village chief, and a glint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly became firm.
Major earthquakes, dam bursts, floods, and demonic invasions make food extremely precious.
As a "spider keeper", Kaeya is able to get a fixed amount of relief food, and for the lame old man Kaeya, this is the only way for him to feed his granddaughter, who is dependent on him for his life.
As a disabled person who was bitten by a monster in the early years and broke a leg, Kaeya could not go out hunting, and could only rely on the craft of raising spiders to barely make ends meet.
Edward and Old Man Kaeya looked at each other, and after a long time, Edward sighed softly and said, "I won't leave." ”
Village Chief Bruce's face immediately changed, and the eyes of the old man Kaeya who was blocking the door flashed with surprise.
"A cripple can't stop us, can he?"
Edward looked at Kaeya again, and calmly stated the facts.
What was the group of people from the Ancient Asian Cult brought by Edward? Each of them is a professional, and in the previous encounter, Andre even showed off his combat power with his apprentice, and he directly performed a crushing show against the group of monsters that made the warriors of Jiaen Village helpless.
How could such an ancient Asian god sect be stopped by an ordinary thin and lame old man.
Old Man Kaeya knew from the beginning that he couldn't stop Edward and them, but he came anyway...... He was aggressively forcing Edward and them to leave.
Edward could even guess that after they were gone, Kaeya would give himself a few punches and wounds, as a way to show loyalty to the upcoming nobles of Emmen, and he did try to stop Edward and them, but he couldn't.
How could an ordinary old man stop a group of regular church professionals?
Then Old Man Kaeya really stopped.
Old man Kaeya, who heard what Edward said clearly, looked at Edward dumbfounded, and was stunned for a while.
You...... Why don't you play your cards according to the routine?!
At this time, shouldn't we throw away the door angrily because we are about to take revenge, and it's best to give ourselves two punches to vent our anger?
Old man Kaeya, who felt that things were a little out of his grasp, tried to keep a straight face, according to his script, and threatened: "Don't leave? Good, very good! I will take your bounty and hand you over to the nobles, in exchange for enough food for us to survive this rainy season. ”
Looking at the old man Kaeya who was still trying to maintain his persona at the door, Edward sighed softly, and then took his eyes off the old man Kaea and moved to the back of the old man Kaeya.
Outside the water hut where Edward was now located, there were seven or eight small boats, and in each boat stood three or four villagers, old and young, who silently looked at the old man Kaeya who was blocking the door, and the old man seemed to be the representative of their group.
Through his extraordinary perception, Edward sensed malice in the group of people outside—about eleven or twelve people still had obvious malice towards the arrival of the Ancient Asian Cult!
"Old man, you don't have to put on a hard show, my church and I won't leave so easily. You can't stop us, and those people outside can't stop us, don't you know that very well? Edward said with a smile.
In Jia'en Village, Edward is going to stay or not, and the decision has always been in Edward's hands.
In the face of the "performance" of the old man Kaeya, Edward now wants to stay and meet the nobles of Emmen.
Edward now wondered what kind of self-confidence the Ammen nobles had in the dire state of affairs in the Kingdom of Emmen, who continued to die and toss so much in the world, and refused the kindness of other good churches.
The Emmen people are bitter, very bitter. This was Edward's first impression of the villagers of the Kingdom of Emmen after he came into contact with the villagers of Jia'en Village.
Obviously, if you accept the help of a good church, you can get out of poverty...... At least they can get rid of the attack of the demonic beasts, but the Kingdom of Emmen refuses, and they are still constantly blackening themselves, making more churches with good intentions die.
"If my guess is correct, the kingdom of Emmen is probably in ...... Make gods, right? Edward's eyes narrowed.
There is only one way for Emmen to get out of the current tragedy, and that is to have gods and let them protect them, but they are constantly rejecting foreign gods, so there is only one reason, the kingdom of Emmen is creating gods.
However, the great earthquake, flood, and the invasion of demonic beasts, the Emmen Kingdom is all like this, and what kind of god is the upper echelons of the Emmen Kingdom making?
Could it be the god of misfortune? Or the god of doom and suffering?
The gods who are in charge of the "happiness" priesthood, the kingdom of Emmen is not conditionally created, so they can only find another way, which Edward is especially sure of.
