Azure and Zeno were shocked after listening to what Onard had just said. Surely it was the most stupid statement they had heard all along. Zeno and Zera, the two of them had not met until a full day, but why was Zera like that? That was what made Zeno raise the tip of his lips and shake his head after staring at Zera who looked so innocent.
What Zeno did, he stood up, turned around and left. It might look very arrogant and arrogant in the eyes of Onard, the elder or Zera himself. However, Zeno had absolutely no intention of such, he wanted to leave because his morning cheerful expression was tampered with like that.
“I say, I want to take over this village like what the village chief said. And I'll do something as a first step. But, if you are going to force my betrothal to Zera like that, I will go and leave this village abandoned. You guys really ruined my morning spirit today.” He said before he left completely.
Zera who saw that, she suddenly became heartbroken by what Zeno said. It felt like his heart was pierced with thousands of needles after hearing the painful statement. “It turns out everyone is the same, even Mr. Zeen also did not accept me because maybe I do not have elemental.” Zera sighed sluggishly before looking at her father, “But it's okay dad, don't force mister Zeen to marry me. This is all also for the good of the village.”
Onard also lowered his head, no matter how good a person he was like Zeno, he would also not want to have a partner who did not have the same elementals as Zera. So, maybe it's appropriate that Zera will be alone for good.
Seeing the condition, Azure just wanted to laugh at their stupid things. Azure who still remained in place felt that Zera and her father were overconfident before. Maybe because they didn't know what caused Zeno to reject him. Therefore, Azure wants to be frank so that the situation is not too spread and make Zeno bother itself.
“You should not assume that Zeen does not want to accept Zera because it only has no elemental. He even had a foster sister who also did not have any elementals and Zeen herself received it very well. And I'm asserting women! Zeen was married, it was only natural that he said that. So I hope, you guys didn't ruin the marriage of Zeen and his wife who's been running for eight years.” Azure said as he stood up, staring at everyone present in this room full of surprise. Especially Onard and Zera.
Azure turned around and left the people who were too hasty. Before he exited the door, he glanced slightly back while saying, “In addition, your statement is also too soon, just like what Zeen said that she and Zera met just now. And you know what, Miss Turse, Zeen's wife managed to melt Zeen's heart so hard, it took almost half a year, he said, and it will take another two years for Miss Turse to establish Zeen's heart to marry her. While you?” Azure looked at Zera who was covering her mouth as if she could not believe what Azure had said just now.
“You guys really ruined the mood of the master this morning as it was considered trying to shift the position of someone in his heart. I forgot, Zeen is actually my master and not my friend, I call him Mr. Zeno.” Azure was blunt before she actually left.
After Azure said so and left. Zera was speechless no more. He did not expect, that the man he had just met was already married and had been walking for eight years. Zera doesn't want to take any more risks, she doesn't want to ruin someone's relationship that's been built and established for a long time.
Zeno floated above the air of a remote village and seemed to have suffered a setback compared to other villages where Zeno was sure to be much more impressive even though he had not seen other villages. Notice a border between the village and the forest with an artificial house built on it.
The problem of this village looks like this is just one, that is, the forest where unexpected attacks make the progress of this village is also really slow. He did not think long to be appointed as the official leader, noticed the villagers and and saw everything bowing. No, Zeno did not want to linger anymore, making an imperial, royal or empire from a small village was his goal that he had made from yesterday.
Zeno raised both of his hands slowly like he was raising something. And, sure enough, deep in the forest, yet still in Zeno's sight, a wall of earth appeared that slowly stretched out and formed an Oval encircling this village. You could say, Zeno has not made a guardrail over the border, but he also took the right of the forest to belong to the village personally, after all it is an artificial forest, after all, so hundreds of years before some of these forests appeared, the land was part of the kingdom.
It was really exhausting, making a barrier wall like this was enough for him to drain so many orcs. But still did not eliminate all the orka in his body. So, even if it's a lot, it's nothing to him. You may need to catch your breath a few times.
Not only that, Zeno also made another wall, just above the border. So this time, there are two areas that are in one wall, but also separated the wall as well. The wall stands directly behind Zeno's house.
Zeno made that too, as he was sure there were still thousands of beasts roaming within the walls that were within the forest, or the walls outside the borders. And of course, Zeno wanted between the main wall and the border, which was still a forest with thousands of beasts, to be used as hunting by the villagers personally. And of course, Zeno also needed to make rules for hunting.
Some rules for Zeno must also be addressed to be more peaceful and not scramble for elemental crystals like yesterday. So, maybe there will be a massive overhaul in terms of leaders, regulations and even the prosperity of a village. And, that might be a small problem for Zeno.
In terms of defense, it's done. Zeno just thought about how to increase the village income? It was impossible for this village to rely only on the leader or the village chief continuously. It is also impossible for him to withdraw taxes to the villagers, because the residents themselves also do not have income. They just continued to rely on the village chief anyway.
