After confirming that the two wizards had indeed left, the villagers were relieved, but most of them were confused and puzzled.
Such a big event, but it was just a hasty conclusion? What about identity registration? Or is there any other arrangement afterwards?
They swarmed around Vane and Ash, eager to know what the situation was.
With Vann here, Ash wouldn't be needed to do the job of explaining.
Ash stepped aside from the crowd and bumped into a solid "wall". There was a familiar spicy smell of strong liquor.
"Uncle Derek." Ash called out the name without having to turn his head.
"Now you know how to call me uncle?" Derek stretched out his arm and pressed Ash under his armpit. With his other hand, he rubbed Ash's head vigorously. "Are you very brave? Are you the first one to go? Uncle, I am not as brave as you."
Ash shrank his neck in embarrassment and said sheepishly, "It's not bravery. I just think I should go first."
"You thought I was praising you? With Vann here, why are you the first one?" Derek raised his eyebrows and laughed out of anger. But he couldn't hold back his anger after laughing. In the end, he could only stroke Ash's hair helplessly. "Forget it, forget it, let's talk business. What happened just now? What are those two wizards going to do?"
Having said that, he had no intention of letting Ash answer. Instead, like the villagers around him, he listened carefully to what Vann was saying.
When Vann talked about the bracelet, everyone showed a look of rejection - a bracelet with a name on it that cannot be removed, what is the difference between this and a pet or livestock that is kept as a pet?
The bracelets that they were given to wear with great effort must have more functions than just identification.
Will it be possible that even the mind and body will be controlled?
Then they were at a loss again, but they were wizards with huge black ships that could soar in the sky. Could they resist such a force?
"Why did they leave?" Someone caught the key point and asked loudly, "Weren't we all supposed to wear bracelets? Why did they leave? Did they give up?"
Derek also asked, "They call themselves the Crimson Throne. But just now they asked us to remember the Radiant Throne. What's going on?"
"Because they transferred us to another force - the Radiant Throne."
Vann took his time to tell everyone what had happened and his analysis one by one.
The villagers of Duogu Village have gradually realized that they don’t have to wear the “collars” for the time being, but the day when they will have to wear the “collars” is not far away and will eventually come.
He was just sent from one prison to another.
They could escape, but the Broken River Plain was so large that every inch of land was now lurking with greedy outsiders. Once discovered, they would also be captured and put on "collars."
It seems that there is no other choice but to lower your head obediently.
"Maybe they lied to us?" Aubrey said angrily. "There are no captors outside. They just said that because they are afraid that we will escape secretly?"
"What they said is true." Ash stood up and said firmly, "Everyone, please don't go out during this period!"
"Then what should we do?" Aubrey clenched his cheeks and yelled excitedly, "Just wait for the next group of people to come and put collars, bracelets, and shackles on us!"
"Without these, we can't even leave the village?" His eyes were red and his voice was trembling. "Are we going to have to rely on these things for protection in the future? What a joke! It's ridiculous!"
"Why are you being so mean to Ash?" Shanna slapped Aubrey's head hard, "Ash was the first one to step out!"
"Yeah! Stand out there and be someone's precious little pet!" Aubrey retorted, stiffening his neck. "I'm not wearing that thing, not even if I die!"
"Just try and die!" Shanna's eyes turned red, "Coward! Coward! I will wear the bracelet! I will wear the bracelet and find a boyfriend who wears a bracelet!"
"Who dares!" Aubrey's eyes widened. "I will kill anyone who dares to take you away!"
Shanna sneered: "Come on, aren't you dead by then?"
Aubrey choked, his handsome face flushed red: "Then I, then I... Can't I wear it?!"
The quarrel between the young couple made everyone, who were originally feeling gloomy, couldn't help but laugh.
"Uh..." Ash finally found the opportunity to interrupt and comforted awkwardly, "Don't worry, the new master is very good."
"Is it good enough that I don't need to wear a bracelet?" Aubrey snorted at him.
Ash thought about it and actually nodded seriously.
"No, if you want to walk on this land in the future, a bracelet is necessary." Derek shook his head, his eyes swept across everyone's anxious and confused faces. Most people probably need a long time to adapt to this suddenly changed environment. "If the lord who comes is really as good as you said, whether to wear a bracelet is secondary."
"Ash, do you know that lord?" Teacher Nathan, who was also standing in the crowd, couldn't help but ask.
Ash nodded, "I saw him during the celebration night. He saved me, Aubrey, and Shayanna."
"Why don't I remember?" Aubrey muttered, his anger still lingering and his words were stingy.
Derek took over the conversation: "This has never been told to anyone. But now is the time to tell you." He simply started with Rachel, then went on to the news they had secretly gathered, and gave the villagers a big revelation.
The simple villagers looked dazed and their three views were shattered after hearing what they heard.
Rachel, who they all loved, turned out to be a wizard with malicious intentions?
The theater troupe that they still miss so much is actually composed of two wizards?
There are really people in the world who can possess the magical power called magic as shown in the drama - wait! This is not surprising anymore, today I even saw a big black ship flying in the sky.
But the most surprising thing is——
"Ash, do you know magic too?"
"It's amazing that you can see through Rachel's true nature at a glance, right?"
"Ash, this is called foreknowledge, prophecy, right?"
"Ash, Derek bought another five coppers on credit last night - do you think I'm telling the truth or not?"
"The truth." Ash answered the last question.
"That's right!" exclaimed the tavern owner.
"So Ash-I had a sandwich with sweet sauce this morning?"
"no."
"Ah! That's right again! I didn't eat a sandwich this morning, haha!"
"Ash, am I your uncle Adi's favorite person? Adi, tell Ash that you like me the most!"
"It's embarrassing to say this in front of everyone, Bafula... Oh, okay, okay, I like you the most. I love you, Bafula."
“…It’s true.”
…
"Ash, your uncle Derek is old and still hasn't found a partner. Is it because he was dumped by a woman before and has a psychological trauma?"
"Shut up!" Derek said sternly, "Do you still act like elders? The more you ask, the more unreasonable your questions become!"
"Weren't you listening with great interest just now?" Adi, who was familiar with Derek, snorted, "You are allowed to laugh at our jokes, but we are not allowed to laugh at yours? You interrupted us, you must be feeling guilty, right?"
Derek remained calm, "Have you forgotten what we said at the beginning? Ash's abilities are not meant for you to play with like this."
Ash breathed a sigh of relief. He was confused by the series of questions asked by everyone. He had no time to think and made his judgment based entirely on his first instinct. He didn't expect that he was right on all of them.
This was the first time he consciously and actively used his premonition. Although all he sensed were trivial matters, the results were still so perfect that he couldn't help but doubt himself, "Do I really have special abilities?"
But then again, everyone was a little carefree. They had seen the black ship, learned about the wizards, and might have been put on bracelets at any time, but now they can joke with each other and their mood has recovered a lot.
"How could I forget?" Adi laughed, "That lord! Since Ash said that the lord is a good man, then he must be a good man. What are we worried about?"
"Didn't that man save Ash and the other two on the night of the celebration? He didn't hurt us at that time? I remember I had a very good dream that night!"
"Hey, me too! I dreamed about something I really liked!"
"Me too, me too! When I woke up my face was frozen with laughter!"
…
Others also started laughing, "He's a good person, right?", "Yes, that's what I meant", "I feel relieved, I feel relieved"...
"We were able to escape today thanks to Ash." Someone said, "It's because the bracelet is ineffective against Ash that those people were afraid to use it, right?"
"Ash has a great magic...maybe he has a talent for magic!"
"But they said Ash has been marked by that lord...Are you alright Ash?"
Ash shook his head, "It's okay."
Everyone felt relieved after confirming that Ash was not trying to be stubborn.
The oldest grandmother, Lena, said with a smile, "Hey, when I came out just now, they were still cooking soup at home. Is everything alright? I'll go home first, or the soup won't taste good if it's cooked for too long."
She waved at Ash and said, "Ash, come to Grandma's house for dinner later. Grandma will make you something delicious to calm you down."
Ash responded obediently, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
Granny Lena nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk towards the village.
With Grandma Lena's reminder, the crowd started to shout, "Ah! I'm stewing soup too!" "My roast chicken!" "Hurry, hurry! Don't let the bottom of the pot get burned!" Voices like these came one after another. In panic, everyone rushed to the village as if their butts were on fire.
It was already noon, and almost everyone's kitchen was still lit and people were cooking.
After a while, most of the villagers surrounding Ash left.
Ash opened his mouth, but he hadn't finished his sentence yet.
He wanted to say that the lord was a good man, but he would still learn magic, become very powerful, and then take Duogu Village... well, take it back.
Duogu Village is everyone's Duogu Village. It should not be anyone's territory, nor should it have anyone's subjects.
Even though the lord is a very good person, he still wants to take back Duogu Village.
He wants to tell everyone that he can definitely do it, please rest assured...
But are we all getting comfortable too quickly?
Just because he believed what he said about the master being a good leader? Just because he recognized his perception ability?
It doesn’t seem right, right?
Confused, he looked up at Vann, who hadn't left yet.
Vann lowered his head and smiled: "Ash, as long as you are not forced into a desperate situation, life must go on. It doesn't matter whether the lord is good or bad - whether he is good, you must continue, and whether he is bad, you must continue, unless there is absolutely no way out."
Everyone was not reassured by Ash's words that "the lord is very good", but after learning the reality, they had no choice but to accept it and made a choice.
"However, your words are still very useful." Derek patted the lost Ash on the side, "At least it makes everyone feel a little better." He pinched his thumb and index finger to measure the specific length of "a little".
Ash took one look and his shoulders dropped, it was really just a little bit.
