We can't expect the members of the hunting team to go home and sleep until dawn after seeing Ash.
It's impossible, okay?
I was so excited that I even forgot about sleeping!
The only people who knew that Ash had left were Vann, Derek and Lannon who were present at the contract signing.
It was the next day when everyone in the village knew that Ash had left with the wizard.
The three did not tell the villagers the real reason why Ash left.
All it said was that Ash went out to study with a wizard.
——I followed the wizard to leave for the freedom of the whole village. I couldn't explain this to everyone at the time. I was mainly worried that the villagers would accidentally expose the contract between Duogu Village and the Third Wizard Tower, and other wizard forces in the surrounding area would know about it, and then all Ash's efforts would be in vain.
However, as time went on, the villagers of Duogu Village were not stupid, so how could they not see the trick?
Their village is different from the nearby towns and villages. The treatment they receive and the rights they enjoy... are all different.
Apart from a dazzling flag planted at the entrance of the village and a wizard tower built in the village - apart from the title of the dazzling third wizard tower, other life was no different from before.
Oh, the only difference is that they can start learning magic.
They are still free, not strictly constrained and controlled like other towns, as if they are in a cage or a greenhouse, being strictly and meticulously managed, just like precious medicinal herbs that need to be planted in a delicate environment, with everything from temperature to humidity to the nutrients in the soil, all controlled within tiny ranges without any error.
Life is suffocating.
There is no breathing room.
And they were not constrained, but actually got convenience.
For example, the magic lamp that Ash and Derek had to search for a long time to get has now been installed in every household in the village.
For example, the medicine that Nathan the pharmacist once treasured from Rachel, Nathan can now prepare by himself.
Not to mention the wizard tower in the village. As the villagers later learned, none of the wizard towers on the Broken River Plain was controlled by the indigenous people themselves.
They were treated favorably.
The more the villagers of Duogu Village understand the current Duanhe Plain, the more deeply they understand this point.
What is the reason for the preferential treatment?
They went through their memories since the arrival of the Black Ship, and the only person they could think of was Ash.
The people who originally took over Duogu Village were those who ascended the Red Throne from Ilufu.
But because of Ash, it was replaced by someone from the Dazzling Throne.
When the wizards of the Glorious Throne came to Duogu Village to take over the territory and build a wizard tower, Ash also left the village at this juncture.
Afterwards, Duogu Village received the only preferential treatment on the Duanhe Plain.
——If this had nothing to do with Ash, the villagers would never believe it.
Even Grandma Lena stood in front of the door of the village chief Fann with her crutches, tremblingly demanding an explanation from Fann.
But Vann, Derek and Lannon swore to the spirits of their ancestors that they would never reveal what happened when the contract was signed.
Therefore, even if Mother-in-law Lena stepped in, Vann remained tight-lipped.
The villagers questioned the village chief only because they were excited after guessing the truth and were eager to confirm it.
But seeing Fann's firm attitude, they gradually calmed down and realized the heavy thoughts behind Fann's consideration for the whole village.
Fann didn't say anything at first because he was worried that they would let the secret slip, right?
Duogu Village is special and unique on the Duanhe Plain. Once exposed, it will become extremely conspicuous.
Now that they are no longer ignorant of the wizarding world and have seen many changes on the Broken River Plain, they have realized this themselves and will never let it slip again.
They began to consciously keep this secret.
There was no need to ask Fann for confirmation, as he already had a positive answer in his heart.
——Thanks to Ash.
Gratitude, emotion, worry, longing...
Everyone in Duogu Village worked hard to learn magic and improve themselves, and they all thought of the quiet and well-behaved boy in their hearts.
Now Ash, who has been talked about for almost a year, is back.
Why are you still sleeping!
Hurry up and tell others to get all your friends out of bed!!!
In order not to disturb the elderly in the village, and to let Ash and his friends who were exhausted from the journey have a good rest, the elites of the hunting team exerted their full abilities, sneaked into the courtyard and house silently, came to their friends' beds, and covered their mouths with foresight, and then lowered their excited voices: "Hey, get up, I want to tell you, Ash is back!"
After finishing the sentence, she still felt a little unfinished, not enough to fully express her excitement at the moment, so she smacked her lips and said with emotion: "His boyfriend is here too, he is so handsome."
…
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
In Duogu Village late at night, everything seems so calm on the surface, but secretly the situation is undercurrent and boiling.
When the sky just started to turn pale, many people who had gotten up early to exercise came out of Duogu Village.
Most of them were young people. They began to run in circles with great energy, with Ash's yard as the center, fully carrying forward the tradition of national exercise that began in Duogu Village last year.
Ash lay on his bed, and whenever the running team passed by his window, his eyes would unconsciously drift towards it.
He said he was going back to his room to have a good rest, but in fact he didn't sleep the whole night.
The blood rushed through his veins, his heart beat hard against his chest, and countless thoughts lingered in his mind, filling up his brain. He couldn't fall asleep at all. He felt like he was thinking a lot, but it seemed like he was thinking nothing.
He lay straight in bed, and although he couldn't sleep, he remained quiet, not wanting to wake up Sigourney who was sleeping next to him.
But he knew that Sigourney was still not asleep.
Perhaps it was because of his heavy heartbeat, he thought a little frustratedly.
"Get up." Sigourney, who had been lying quietly with Ash for most of the night, suddenly sat up, "The sun is about to come out."
Ash's countless scattered thoughts that were floating in his mind seemed to be grabbed by a hand and pulled back. He suddenly woke up and propped himself up to sit up: "Do you want to get into the coffin?"
Sigourney got off the bed and looked down at him: "No. There should be a lot of people who want to see me today, right?"
Ash blinked, unable to deny it.
"You want to go out and meet them too, right?" Sigourney raised her chin and gestured to the group of young people jogging silently outside the window.
Ash uttered a low "hmm".
"Then go." Sigourney uttered these three words like an order.
Ash got up reflexively and started to dress. Halfway through, his movements slowed down and he looked up at Sigourney hesitantly. The vampire crossed his arms and stared at him fiercely, as if he would be thrown out of the window if he hesitated any longer.
He raised his hand and touched the leaf mark on his left arm, just like around this time last year. Without any basis, he felt particularly at ease.
When I returned to Duogu Village, the panic and anxiety caused by homesickness disappeared in an instant.
The hesitation and trouble of thinking over and over again about "what should I say as the first thing when I see Aubrey and the others" suddenly no longer seemed like a problem.
He chuckled softly, "Well, I'll be there right away."
If he says right away, it means right away.
He leaned on the windowsill, looked at the road not far away, and shouted to the group of friends who were running hot: "I'm back! Good morning, everyone!" It was Ash's loudest voice.
The running team all braked suddenly, stopped where they were, looked up and smiled brightly: "Ash, good morning!"
The loud voices were connected so that everyone in Duogu Village could hear: "Where's your boyfriend?!"
Ash pointed into the room: "Here it is!"
"You guys slept together?"
"Um!"
Sigourney: “…”
So why did he tell Ash to "go for it"?
