"What do you mean?! You have the nerve to ask?! The grain belongs to the village! If you want to get out, then get out. You think you can steal our grain? Dream on!"
The two groups of people, clearly divided, started arguing again, their necks red with anger.
Xiao He and Huo Lei exchanged a glance and finally understood what was going on.
Basically, the small village couldn't withstand the pressure, with some people advocating to relocate to the vicinity of a safe city, while others were unwilling to change their original lifestyle and advocated staying.
The main problem lies in the village's granary.
The remaining villagers believed that the relocated villagers had betrayed their ancestors and refused to allow them to take a single grain of food with them, saying that if they wanted to leave, they had to "leave with nothing."
The villagers who wanted to relocate naturally objected, and during the argument, someone sent out a distress signal.
The two men immediately felt very troubled. This was a civil matter; even the government didn't interfere, so what could they possibly do about it…?
Huo Lei's lips twitched, and he was about to turn around and leave when Xiao He grabbed him.
"Everyone, you may not know this, but last month, the monsters in the Luzhong region were basically eliminated. The situation is no longer as dangerous as before. Whether you stay or relocate, it's not a big problem."
“Young lady, you don’t understand!” a man said with a distressed expression. “Our ancestor once had a diviner who said that as long as we stay in the village, we won’t be caught up in the war…”
"The premise is that the totem is intact!" another person interrupted him forcefully.
"A fortune teller? A totemist?" Xiao He asked, puzzled.
“Yes, our village has a stone pillar that has been passed down from our ancestors, and the pillar has the totem of the water god Tyr on it,” said a woman who was relatively calm.
"Tyr, the water god?" Xiao He frowned, recalling the name. "May I see him?"
“Of course! Please follow me,” the woman said.
The two exchanged a glance and followed without hesitation.
Distracted like this, the others didn't know how to argue, so they all followed behind the three, saying they wanted to hear other people's opinions and ask for a fair judgment...
Horry glanced behind him, his heart filled with astonishment.
"Could it be that these villagers are truly protected by the water god totem, just as that woman said?"
“If it’s the water god Tyr, then it’s indeed a trivial matter,” Xiao He said.
"Who is Tyr, the water god?" Horee didn't know.
"One of the Ten Elemental Gods".
"What?" Horry's eyes widened. Although he couldn't remember these names, he had heard of the Ten Elemental Gods: "True Gods? A totem is this powerful?"
"Of course!" Xiao He pursed his lips. Among the ten elemental gods, he was the weakest one, without even a totem.
Just as Horrey was about to ask more questions, the woman leading the way spoke up.
"This is the totem of the water god."
The two looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a stone pillar, as thick as two people could hug, that had been split in two.
"When did it crack? How did it crack?" Xiao He calmly examined the stone pillar.
"It happened just yesterday, at daybreak. Nobody knows what happened, and there was no sound."
The woman spoke calmly, but with a hint of sorrow: "Everyone thinks this is an ominous sign, which is why they're all clamoring to escape today."
"What did the others who stayed behind say?" Xiao He asked again.
“They hope to find a way to repair the totem, rather than give up,” the woman said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Xiao He nodded silently and slowly walked up in front of everyone.
Perhaps because Xiao He looked kind, no one stopped her, allowing her to gently touch the carvings on the totem.
The stone pillar is about eight or nine meters high. Standing at the bottom and looking up, you can't even see the top of it.
A soft murmur escaped Xiao He's lips and, through some special connection, drifted into the cracks in the totem.
"Buzz..."
A strange wave spread out from the totem.
Pure water element permeates the world.
Despite the bright sunshine, a light drizzle began to fall.
On the spaceship.
Patika couldn't help but step out of the cabin and stand motionless by the railing, staring incredulously at the light that pierced the sun like a white rainbow.
As a water-related major, she was naturally able to sense the presence of an unimaginable entity there.
"It is a god... the ten elemental gods... Tyr, the water god..."
Her words reached the ears of Lucadi and Valerie, who were not far away, and a look of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
If even a few of them were like this, the ordinary civilians were even more astonished.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the cracked stone pillar slowly repaired itself in the sunlight...
It seemed as if life had been injected into it, and it regained its vitality.
"Alright." Xiao He clapped his hands and turned around, as if he had done something insignificant.
The woman who came down to greet her immediately bowed.
As if waking from a dream, everyone immediately knelt down, expressing their gratitude according to their custom.
"Thank you," the woman said, sobbing softly.
"You're welcome," Xiao He said with a smile.
“This is what I owe you.” The woman’s words seemed nonsensical.
Xiao He understood: "No problem, we can help each other."
With her back to the villagers, the woman quietly slipped something into her palm.
"Please accept this crystal. If needed, you can summon me."
Xiao He was somewhat surprised, but accepted the crystal ball without hesitation.
"Then I'll have to trouble you if there are any problems in the future..."
The woman watched Xiao He's departing figure silently, and the worry on her face finally subsided somewhat.
