Chapter 5 Belief and Unbelief (I)

Fourth, under the guidance of the old man, Mo Ran and the four of them came to a village, the village is not big, it is not small, there are about more than 500 households, more than 2,000 people.

However, only the four Mo Ran and the old man came to the village, because the rescued refugees did not come from one village, so the other refugees all returned to their respective villages.

The village is quiet, as most of the people work outside, with only a few children playing in the village.

As soon as he approached the gate of the village, a urchin boy of four or five years old threw himself into the arms of the old man and shouted, "Grandpa, I want to kill you!" ”

The old man first glanced back cautiously, and seeing that Mo Ran did not show a displeased expression, he gently patted the child's back and soothed: "My little Bart, but how can a person who wants to be a warrior cry his nose? ”

When little Bart heard his grandfather's words, he sniffed hard and held back all his tears.

The appearance of the four Mo Ran and the old man was like cold water falling into an oil pot, instantly boiling the entire village, and then several women hurried out of the village to inform the villagers who were working.

After a short time, a huge procession returned to the village, and the person standing at the front of the line was a middle-aged man with a sturdy body.

When the middle-aged man saw the old man, he frowned unconsciously: "Father, why are you back?" ”

Before the old man could speak, some villagers behind the man began to agitate: "Village chief, you can't abolish the public for personal reasons!" If Driskerton's escape is deemed a rebellion by the werewolves, then the entire village will not be spared the slaughter of the werewolves. ”

The unwarranted duties of the villagers made Little Bart's face swell and red: "Uncle Sturt, and Uncle El, how can you say that? My grandfather is acting as 'food' in the place of your relatives! ”

As the saying goes, children are more credible than adults.

As soon as Bart's voice fell, the faces of some of the villagers changed, but instead of arguing with a child, they looked at the middle-aged man.

"Village Chief, you can't show favoritism just because Drisketon is your father! As the head of the village, you are responsible for the lives of more than 2,000 people in the whole village! ”

In the face of the noisy villagers, the middle-aged man just pressed his hands in the air, which quieted the scene: "As the village head, of course I will not abolish my public office for personal reasons. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man glanced at Stern and El, and then said solemnly: "But I won't waste my personal interests for the sake of business, if my father is not willing to act as 'food', then... No one can persecute him. ”

"Whoever is supposed to go to this kind of thing should be whomever goes. Do you think that if you hide people, I will be able to do nothing about you? Don't forget, I became the village chief not because of kindness, but because I passed the test of an exorcist. ”

When the exorcist was spoken, the faces of Sturt and El became very discouraged, and the villagers who had been incited immediately stopped clamoring.

The villagers just don't want to suffer the catastrophe, as for... They didn't care if Drisketton was going to be food, or if Sturt and Elle were going to be food.

Then, the middle-aged man looked at the old man and asked, "Father, can you tell me now why you came back?" ”

The indifferent attitude of Stern and El made the old man a little sad, but he only sighed softly and said, "I came back because... The prophesied Holy One has come. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he silently gave up his position and exposed Mo Ran and the four in front of the villagers.

Before, the villagers were paying attention to the old man's escape, so they didn't care about other things at all, and it was only now that the villagers found out that there were four strangers next to the old man.

Although the old man called the four Mo Ran sages, the eyes of the villagers still wandered, because except for the black hair and black eyes of the three Mo Ran, the four of them were no different from the villagers.

The only thing that can be called special... There is only Xingyao, but in the Dark Continent, there is no unicorn, so the villagers just regard Xingyao as a special horse.

"Driskton, we revere you as a wise elder, but don't joke with prophecy."

In the face of the distrustful gaze of the villagers, the old man was full of helplessness, but his tone was still calm: "I didn't create a lie to deceive everyone because I didn't want to be 'food'. ”

It's just that... As he spoke, the old man choked up, and then tears poured out.

"The werewolf guarding us has been killed by the Sage, so even if we go back to serve as food, the werewolf will not let our village go."

The villagers suddenly exploded the pot.

"Killed... Werewolf! ”

"Could it be that the Holy One has really come?"

The expressions of the villagers varied, but they were clearly unacceptable for a moment.

Only the middle-aged man, who was the village head, remained calm: "Father, you said... The Sage killed the werewolf, but what about the werewolf corpse? ”

The old man wiped away his tears and said, "The body of the werewolf has been divided into several parts, and then taken back to their respective villages by the other people who served as food as a proof of the Sage's descent. ”

"And I, on the other hand, am very honored to invite the Sage to our village as a guest."

After speaking, the old man turned to look at Mo Ran and the four of them, but found that they were walking slowly towards the interior of the village.

The old man was shocked, thinking that it was the distrust of the villagers that he had neglected the Sage, so he couldn't care about it, and immediately chased after Mo Ran and the others.

The departure of the five people made the discussion of the villagers even more enthusiastic, but in their eyes, there were only doubts.

The middle-aged man hesitated, and then chased after him, but before leaving, he gave a brief explanation to the villagers: "From now on, suspend all work." ”

"Bob, I appoint you as an instructor to train the villagers, and all adults must participate in the training. Colin, you go to contact the exorcists, and be sure to tell them the truth. ”

Then, the middle-aged man chased after Mo Ran and the others, who had disappeared on the street corner.

At the same time as the middle-aged man left, two villagers walked out of the crowd, one was a rather shrewd-looking teenager, he rushed straight out of the village, and soon disappeared from the villagers' field of vision.

The other is a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his body is full of bulging muscles.

After the strong man walked out of the crowd, he wrestled his wrists: "Since Daniel has appointed me as an instructor, then... You'd better be honest, I don't have Daniel's good temper, so I only talk with my fists. ”

"Now for the first training session - running, you need to run five laps around the village, don't let me see anyone sneaking ......"
