"Ahem. ”

In the silence of the bedroom, the cough full of annoyance is particularly harsh. The village chief, Isis, sat half-reclined on the bed, Mrs. Isis sat on the edge of the bed and waited, and her daughter Barriet sat in a chair by the door.

In the bedroom, in addition to the family of three, there are four other people, three men and one woman, all of whom are people in the village who have a lot of weight. At this time, they were also full of sorrow like the village chief.

At dusk, everyone was waiting for not the water carathing team that had returned as usual, but the embarrassed and delirious Pusla alone. It took a great deal of effort for the villagers to sort out what had happened from his confused words.

Phoenix is the legendary third apostle of the creator god, also known as the "Third Apostle", who tirelessly hovers over the nine heavens of the Mirage Desert and is known as "Never Landing".

Therefore, who would have thought that it would come to the earthly world today, and it chose the Oasis of Eden as its habitat.

Phoenix pounced on the Nine Heavens, and a single burst of flames incinerated all the creatures in the vicinity of the oasis, including the water convoy led by Pound Sr.

Dozens of people did not survive except for Pusla, who did not dare to approach the oasis. It was a disaster, but the sacrifice of these people was not a big deal for the impending predicament that the village was facing.

The most important resource for surviving in the desert is water, and Eden is the only abundant source of water in the area. Now that Eden has been overrun by the Third Apostle, the village has lost its water supply. The worst-case scenario is the destruction of the village.

"Alas!" After a long time, the village chief, Isis, broke the silence with a long sigh. "No matter what happens in the future, the immediate priority is to arrange the future generations of old Pound. The water transport team is the hero of the village and a collective ceremony, which should be of the highest standard. ”

Hearing this, three of the four nodded, but the captain of the guard, Paliusis, who was usually very close to the village chief, raised an objection this time.

"I disagree!"

"Why don't you agree!" Hearing Palius's words, the leader of the artisans, Chaimmod, immediately became angry, "Old Pound, they have worked so hard for the village, don't they even deserve a funeral!"

Seeing that Chaimade had misunderstood him, Paliusis frowned.

"I didn't say I wouldn't have a funeral! It's better to say that I'm against the water bathing ceremony!"

In this way, Chaimaud had no choice but to shut up and refute again.

"Although no one said it since just now, everyone should be aware of it. Paliusis confidently continued, "Ayilaide, you are also in charge of the reservoir. You tell everyone, how long can our water last if it's full? ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the hunter leader Ayilaide had no choice but to respond: "From now on, water control will be carried out, and if you are more careful, it will last for a month at most." ”

"Hear me, it's only a month!" said Palyusis, snapped, "and in this case, a drop of water is too precious to be wasted on a ceremony!"

"It's not that tight. Another leader of the artisans, Ms. Siriopala, eased the tension and said, "Don't we still have a well?"

"Don't mention the well!" cried Chai Mod at once, "the well was not straightened at all, and the water was completely permeable, and it was in short supply from the beginning. Otherwise, why bother to organize a water convoy to go to Eden every day. ”

"The Kakari Oasis is ten days round trip from our village, how about we go there to fetch water?" suggested Ayilaid.

"It doesn't work. It was Chaimaud who objected, and he shook his head sadly and said, "You are talking about a man and a camel, go and return quickly." It's a different story with a convoy, and it has to quadruple in time. Ten days becomes forty days. Unsupportable. ”

"Moreover, old Pound and they had an accident this time, and most of our wagons and camels were also involved, even if we went to transport them back, it would not be enough. Siriopala sighed.

"Ahem. A few soft coughs from the village chief, Isis, stopped the argument of several men, and then he spoke slowly, "You are talking about the worst-case scenario. Thirdly, the apostles did not necessarily stay in Eden. ”

"Yes, the village chief is right!" said Chaimade, turning his sorrow into joy.

"Ayilaid, tomorrow you will take someone to investigate the situation, and the specific things will depend on the situation when the time comes. "If the Third Apostle is still there, we will regulate the water." As for the funeral of old Pound, according to the wishes of Paliusis, the water bathing ceremony was removed, and the rest was as usual. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"It's not early today, let's go back first. The problem of water shortage has not yet reached the point of death, and it can be considered in the long run. ”

"Then, take care, village chief, let's go first. The four, led by Palius, greeted one or two words and left the bedroom, accompanied by Madame Isis.

They went out on their front feet, and Barrett's back feet came to her father's bedside.

"Dad, why don't you tell everyone about that?"

Isis turned his head to look at his daughter's anxious expression, and slowly replied, "Because that is a secret controlled by the village chief's family, and you can't tell anyone." What's more, even if we say it, we have nothing to do. ”

"If you don't say it, how can you be sure that everyone can't do it?"

"Otherwise, there would be no rule that you should confide in the nobles only when they are visited. ”

"Rules. Barriet muttered quietly, "In that case, I'll go find the nobles." ”

"No!" exclaimed Isis, "only if the nobles come and ask us can we say that it is not proper for you to go and find them!"

"It's rules again! Every one of you is a rule, a rule, a rule!" annoyed people!" Barriet exclaimed angrily, "the village is now in ruin!

"Shut up!" Isis was also angry, "The rules are the capital of our ancestors for generations! In the past, human beings were unruly because we let our descendants fall to this point! Therefore, the rules are absolute!"

"What about the nobles? Why can those nobles be unruly? Why can they do whatever they want!"

"Because, they are nobles! They are special people chosen by God, and they don't have to follow the rules but they are determined by the rules!"

"This kind of thing is too unfair!"

"In this world, there is no fairness. It's like you were born as the daughter of the village chief, so it's a truth to be glamorous!"

Therefore, in the future, he can only be the village head.

As the thought came to her, Barrett felt a deep sense of despair.

"I don't like to be your daughter!"

On impulse, she blurted out, and then Isis slapped him in the face.

At the same time as the sound of "pop!", Madame Esis also happened to open the door and enter the house, and she was stunned at the scene before her.

", since you don't want to recognize me as a father, then I don't have you as a daughter!"

Barriet's eyes slowly moistened as she stroked her hot cheeks. Before tears could flow out completely, she suddenly turned around and snatched the door, heading straight for her own door.

"Barrett!" cried out Mrs. Isis, trying to catch up, but her husband stopped her.

"Leave her alone!"

"But, ...... outside"

"When she feels cold, she'll come back herself!"

However, Chief Esis was wrong. Barrett did not return in the end, and that night she disappeared from the village, and the village chief fell ill completely.
