Ruler 5 Elemental 2: To The Throne Of God
Tell them to go home

“Wait a minute, so the village leader system uses the same monarchy system as the kingdom or empire? I just found out.” Azure is located near Zeno. Then, he immediately continued his words, “What is the prophecy written that the village leader who is a ruler comes from the descendants of the last king?” Azure asked as well as he gave a code of words so that the two people understood.

“Not really, teta ...”The person immediately understood why Azure said so, as well as the other friend. Thus, what the two of them were doing was directly kneeling before Zeno who made Zeno himself raise his eyebrows. “I'm sorry ruler, I will be more keeping attitude later.”

Zeno who saw that certainly felt very uncomfortable, he also sighed and clucked in annoyance, “You guys are too much. But we also do not know, did I manage to bring the village of Neo Mazzari to prosperity or not? However, are you willing to do the task I gave you?”

Not standing up from bending his knees, the two men nodded their heads, and said in agreement, “We agree, whatever the village chief gave us, we will do.”

“Call everyone who has ever gone to the capital to return home. Do not say that the village is safe and the leader is a ruler. Because if they do not intend to betray the village, of course they are happy to return on the orders of the village head, not because of the figure of the ruler who took over the village according to the prophecy.” Said Zeno while standing upright after he leaned against the wall of his room.

“Good I understand the village head.” One of the men nodded.

“We are not acquainted. Can you tell me your identity?” Zeno asked.

The man on the right side, with slightly brown hair, his stature is also high which makes the man when standing up look dashing said introducing himself, “Edren, Shon Edren. Age, thirty-seven years.”

Then continued the man on his left side who was almost the same as Edren, but his physique was much shorter and smaller compared to Edren. “Yord, Shon Yord's. I'm forty years old.”

Zeno touched his chin, he now only understood that all the residents in Neo Mazzarri village had the same surname. Shon Zera, Onard Shon, then the two men he had just met and had nothing to do with, they also had the Shon clan. Zeno thought and concluded, that the ancestor of this village, named Shon. Or maybe the last king himself was named Shon.

Surely, Zeno felt bad when he said his name, he was a stranger who had no relatives in this village. He may be like an invader. But, how else, he also did not refuse to become a village chief. So, by force, he frankly introduced himself, “My name is Zeno, Fang Zeno.

“You have been a few years away from the village, and of course your income is more than enough. Let me guess, actually you guys are a few months you send directly some of your treasure to the village here secretly because you do not want to be known by Onard. But, after I made the barrier wall, there is no other way for you to enter the village except the east and west gate.” Zeno touched his own chin while looking up as if he was thinking.

“It is likely that the property you give to your family is not useful at all, except to buy basic goods at high prices with the neighbors, because the neighbors who sell the goods also need to search for materials in the capital secretly. And stomach problems, the village chief always killed the attacking beasts and divided them equally. So, do you guys mind when I pull your family tax?”

Zeno asked so, because he knew after hearing the explanation from the Azure, that the villagers were not as poor as he thought. They actually have a lot of property, from one of their families who went to wander secretly, and handed some of their hard work to their respective families.

If only, the previous village chief understood that curbing would actually worsen the village, then the village would advance, perhaps only elemental beasts would become a problem. While the economy, it will certainly run smoothly. The village also seems to be anti-social, probably because they believe in the prophecy too much and are seen to be dependent on the prophecy, making this village do not want other villages to know the prophecy.

On the bright side, the main kingdom did not ask for any tribute from this village, so perhaps what Onard was thinking between intentionally or unintentionally curbing this village. So also, the economy also did not run smoothly, as a result.the main government did not consider this village. Although, Zeno also did not know, what the main government of this village.

“Of course sir. That's what we were expecting. In addition to supporting our family, we headed to the capital also wanted to earn money to support the village as well. That's what all those who want to live better without betraying the village think. But, the previous village chief seemed to not appreciate the thought.” Sahut Edren explains the grievances of living in this village.

“No problem, I understand. Now a new era that I lead.” Zeno walked slowly towards Edren and Yord, then he touched the shoulders of the two of them and told them to stand up. “I'll give you one month, go back to the capital and bring the villagers who have gotten a very good job back home. And of course, obey what I say.”

“Yord, Edren, indeed the prophecy says that the ruler brought the village from glory. But it will also not work if there are no residents who support it. Go the next morning after you spend the night with your family. Don't mind the pressure from Onard. After all, your ranking is above Onard isn't it?” Reciprocity.

“I understand the village chief.” Edren and Yord nodded as they both withdrew after Zeno gestured with his face.

After the two of them left, Zeno was still not completely finished with the actions of the previous village chief. Indeed, what was done was good so that the villagers would not run away from the village, yet it seemed to be too restrictive that it made the villagers not allowed to go anywhere. Precisely if no one comes out to complain about fate in the capital, this village will experience overpopulation with poverty that makes the village head more troublesome.

Even so, Zeno was also convinced that there were villagers who had indeed betrayed the village. Where they really did not believe the prophecy and promised not to return to this village, they left also did not bring any benefits to this village. As was the case with the Onard family, whose brother and sister, even his wife, chose to leave completely and no longer wanted to get in touch with the village.
