“I heard, actually the villagers of Neo Mazzarri are not as poor as we imagine. Some of them trade by buying staples from the capital, then they sell again here. Because of course, other villagers also need basic materials. In addition, not a few of the villagers did not run away, but rather they were looking for a better job out of the village to support his family here.”
“How do you know?” Zeno frowned at what Azure had explained, about people who didn't actually run away like losers. But come to think of it, what Azure says makes sense as well, that it doesn't rule out the possibility of those who leave it is looking for a better job to provide for his family here.
“There was a problem on the west door, Onard and his loyal followers beat up some men for being considered cowardly, namely returning to the village when the village was developing. In fact, the person still insists on saying that he works out of the village to get enough of his family here. And the person has no intention at all to betray the village.” Azure explained.
Zeno thought for a moment, it seems that Onard should be given a lesson not to act arbitrarily like that. If indeed the person acts as a loser, then the person should return to the heyday of the village, not even when the village develops. So it is certain that the man did return to this village because he had been looking for a better job, and got the money to send to his family.
It seems that it was Onard's fault why this village could not advance, because the other factor that caused this village could not advance was, that Onard did not want the villagers out of the village, even to find a better job. Onard too curbed the villagers and assumed that the people who came out of the village were traitors.
Zeno became interested in heading to the west entrance of the village, he wanted to break up the dispute and misunderstandings from Onard that. However, what is the question for Zeno about what Azure discussed earlier, “Lantas what does it have to do with taxes?”
Azure simply patted his eel and assumed that his master could not think perfectly, then he tried to explain. However, just as Azure was about to speak up, Zeno denied it and understood it more now.
“I understand the point. Now let's head to the west gate.” Zeno said as he moved away from his place.
.....
Right at the west gate of Neo Mazzari village, two battered middlemen are beaten up by the former village chief and his followers. Surely nothing separates, and it is used as a public spectacle. Because, they themselves also did not dare to harass Onard, although some of the villagers think that Onard is too excessive.
“I reiterate once again, anyone who goes from my village considers a coward. Whatever reason. And certainly not entitled to return to the village anytime.” Strictly Onard while denouncing the two young men who were trying to stand up.
“Village head.” Said one of the young men very softly. Then with a breath of breath while touching his bruise, he said, “You misunderstood. I also said earlier that I have no intention to betray the village.”
Furious, and not wanting to listen to any more reason, Onard immediately cut off the conversation of one of the young men while taking out a ball of lightning in his left hand. And without a second thought, Onard directly aimed the ball of lightning at the young man.
Fortunately, when the ball of lightning almost killed the young man who denied earlier, the ball of lightning was lost like swallowed by the earth. So that the young man stroked his chest because he was not hit by a ball of lightning, although actually if the ball of lightning was not lost, inevitably he and his friend wanted to fight Onard.
Instantly the atmosphere fell silent, as the new village chief came with his thunderous words while holding the ball of lightning earlier. Who would have thought that Onard's ball of lightning did not actually disappear, but rather changed hands by Zeno very quickly and without problems that made him feel pain.
Onard immediately shuddered in fear when the village chief or Zeno came. He also saw that his lightning element was squeezed like it was squeezing a lump of earth into disintegration.
“I'm sorry, it seems that the previous village chief welcomed someone who wanted to return home very badly.” Zeno said as he invited the two men who were beaten by Onard and his followers. He saw, each of the two youths had a rank fifth stage god warrior. However, Zeno felt that there was something odd about his rank. Therefore, “I am the new village chief, can you follow me? We'll talk two against two at my house.”
The two men were shocked as he looked at someone who had absolutely no rank confessing to the new village chief. However, after they saw the gazes of the other residents, and Onard who lowered his head near Zeno, they came to believe. However, there was a question that flashed through the heads of the two of them.
The two of them eventually follow Zeno to leave the group of Onard's followers who have beaten him. Perhaps if there was no Zeno just now, then they would definitely return to the capital in a dire state.
.....
Right at Zeno's house, Zeno was still standing, leaning against the wall of his room with two people still standing as well. Zeno's gaze looked also very friendly with the side of the lip he lifted. No, it didn't seem friendly, but rather it was terrifying in the eyes of the two of them.
“Second level god warrior? I wonder, what treasures can be used to give fake ratings?” Zeno said as he revealed their secret which made the two men a little surprised. Because, he felt that the rank of theirs both looked vague so as not to show their original rank.
However, a few seconds later, they immediately smiled thinly while flicking their fingers simultaneously. And who would have thought, their original rank appeared, which was where they were at the third stage pure god rank, which was where the rank was above Azure which was a second stage pure god.
“I'm sorry village chief. Did you use it too? So it can't show your original rating?” Said one of them starting to ask.
“I also don't know.” Zeno replied briefly for a moment he then sighed before continuing his words, “If I were you, then I would not pretend anymore and would beat Onard up. In any case, you are defending yourself from the Onard.” charges
“But he is the village chief, no, I mean the former village chief who incidentally ...” One of the men who said so immediately stopped because he remembered something, “Don't the village chief Onard only have one daughter named Zera? Why are you the head of his village? Are you his daughter-in-law?”
