"Prophecy? Do you call this a prophecy? ”

Jerle gently ** the text of history, like a child seeking solace from his mother. Because Jer interpreted the relationship between the historical text, this time the villagers of Shinjima Village did not stop his behavior, but looked at him in unison.

Heber was the eldest of the village chiefs, and the most excited one at the moment, and if it weren't for Aina's discernment to support him, I'm afraid the old man would have sat down on the ground by this time.

"Leave me alone, I'm fine!"

"Roar!"

The roar of the island owner came at the right time, and the sea water poured in, and the sea breeze howled, which was somewhat unusual.

But Heber didn't care, at this moment, he was still immersed in Jer's interpretation of the historical text, and he had no time to be distracted.

"Aina, the owner of the island has eaten, you go and see if there are any guests coming in. If so, you should lead them to the village to rest first, and I will take this lord to the ancestral hall. ”

Aina nodded, picked two youths from the crowd, and hurried down.

The ancestral hall is located in the deepest part of the village and is the only house in the entire village that is built purely of rock. Because Shinjima Village is built on an organ high within the main body of the island, you can feel the difficulty of transporting the rocks on the island just by imagining it.

In the deepest part of the ancestral hall is a fluorescent tree, its scattered branches covered with glowing fruits. It looks like it's a bit old.

Heber stopped in front of the fluorescent tree, clasped his hands together, and prayed. Jerle took advantage of this gap to discover the names carved on the fluorescent tree.

It took a long time for Eber to smile and walk back to Jer.

"My lord, since you are the one who can understand the oath of the Word. Well, there are some things that I won't hide from you. ”

"In fact, the people of New Island are not the original aborigines of the main body of the island. Our ancestors, like you, were outside humans who were mistakenly eaten by the owner of the island. However, they are not as lucky as you to be able to safely enter the main body of the island with people and boats. ”

"Hunger, cold, and gastric juices falling from the sky have become almost everything that can be deadly. In particular, the endless darkness is even more unbearable for people who are accustomed to the sun. ”

"They drifted in the main body of the island for three days and three nights, just as they were about to give up. A man who radiates light, descends from the sky and rescues his ancestors, like a god. By the time the ancestors woke up, they had already been taken to the original village of Shinjima. ”

"The ancestors called the one who rescued them a god because he gave them new life. With the help of the gods, the ancestors gathered the wood that had been swallowed by the island owner and rebuilt a ship. ”

But on the eve of sailing, it was destroyed by the island tsunamis. However, the ancestors were very happy and rejected the Kami-sama's suggestion to build a ship again, and finally stayed here. From that time on, the place where God lived was renamed Shinjima. ”

Heber sighed, looking a little sad.

"Although there is no sunlight and there are many restrictions, the ancestors are very happy with life on the new island. Life went on like this, until one day, Lord God suddenly fell seriously ill. ”

"Because of the suddenness of the incident, the ancestors didn't even have time to react, and the gods were already dying. Before God-sama died, my ancestors accepted God-sama's request and became the first head of Shinjima Village. And his duty is to replace the god lord and protect the god stone, until one day, someone who can read the words on it appears. ”

At this point, Heber looked at Jer, tears twinkling in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Hundreds of years have passed, and everything about God has been passed down by word of mouth from each generation of village heads. That emotion has long been blurred, and we have engraved the names of the villagers who have passed away for each generation to guard the sacred stone on the fluorescent tree, so that we can always remind ourselves of our mission and never forget our mission. ”

"It's a good thing you're still here, and although the wait has been a little longer, it's worth it."

Heber turned around and looked at the fluorescent tree, filled with emotion.

"If God-sama knew, I would be able to rest assured."

Jerle sighed, unable to express his feelings. Most of his mood swings came from old Jer, but at this moment, hearing Heber's words, he was still a little uncomfortable.

This is a bunch of fools, fools who have been waiting for hundreds of years for an agreement.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Jell spoke softly, and Heber had brought him here, not just to tell him a story.

Heber nodded and replied.

"Yes, sir. Bringing you here, our mission is accomplished. Also, if you can, could you please give us a directive so that people in Niijima Village can also go and live outside? ”

"Guarding the Divine Stone is an ancestral precept that has been passed down from generation to generation, and we cannot disobey it. However, if it were you, the ancestors would have respected you! This time, please allow the old man to be willful for once, please let the young people of Shinjima Village, go outside! ”

Jer's heart trembled, Xia Qi on the side was already sobbing, and even Rao G, also silent and silent.

"Okay."

Jair had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, there was only one word left.

"Great, my lord, let's go and tell the villagers the good news!"

The corners of Heber's mouth widened, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant, and his steps were much lighter.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all followed Heber.

The party was still noisy, but it didn't come from the cheers of the villagers of Nieshima Village.

The flames shone into the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if they were daylight.

The corpses of the villagers lay haphazardly on the ground, their faces full of consternation. A few of them were even blackened by the flames.

The smell of blood fills the nose and lingers for a long time.

"Aina! Child! ”

Heber stumbled and fell to the ground, and his cane rolled aside, but he ignored it and crawled straight to the place where the historical text was.

There, with his back to the text of history, is Aina, who is dead and blind. The eyebrows have been deliberately burned off, revealing the strange eyes inside. The smile on his face had not yet subsided, but he was stunned and puzzled, frozen in the moment of death.

Jerle coldly looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and his heart was like a fire.

The villagers who were still hospitably entertaining them a moment ago are now in a different place. What is even more ironic is that he and others have just been preparing to announce the so-called good news to them.

"Mr. Jer, why is this happening? This... Who the hell did this! ”

Xia Qi covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

Who did this to you?

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Jer's eyes, and he didn't care who did it. The original unhappy mood is like finding an outlet. At this moment, he has only one thought, he wants to kill someone.

"Yo, how many are still alive?"

A group of big men came from the direction of the village, and on their backs, under their armpits, were large and small packages. Through the peeking end of the package, some gold hues can be faintly seen.

The people of Shinjima do not have contact with the outside world, but they do collect artifacts that have been swallowed by the owner. During the meal before, the Heber family also gave a lot of gifts to Jair and others.

But now, because of these, the village was slaughtered?

"Huh? There are a few normal people. Hey, chick, how about coming to my boat? Hahaha! ”
