“It's over. But I wonder where the villagers of Caprae are today?” Leo asked. Either to himself, or maybe the person who heard it was especially Hime who was nearby.

The situation after an explosion, it makes the fire stop instantly. How not? the shock wave that occurred seemed to blow away all, even the remaining debris of the fire that made the fire stop instantly.

He thought earlier that Hellfire died after he blew himself up. But as it turns out, she just blew up her outer skin just before she ran to leave after being unable to fight a Ray.

Indeed that the fire had stopped, he also did not see any casualties other than dozens of middle-aged and old men. It's just that, the question for Leo, where are all the Caprae residents?

But most importantly the Caprae villagers survived, it was his thought. Although Leo must pay respect to parents who seem willing to sacrifice and buy time so that the younger generation can run more easily.

If Leo woke up early, things would not be like this. Leo was a little sorry as he continued to fall into a deep sleep on top of the peak just for enjoying the calm air. Below is an attack that looks terrible.

“Master, some Caprae villagers are on the mountainside! They seem to be displaced in that place.” A few adventurers then faced Leo after slightly saluting him. No, even some soldiers also came to pay their respects.

Who does not know Leo? Clearly, he was famous in the adventurer universe of Little Pear city and also in the mayor's castle neighborhood. The existence of Leo as an adventurer who ‘diistimewas’ by the guild master who is certainly adventurer ranging from bronze to gold know it. Moreover, also because it was famous in the castle environment, the warrior clearly knew about it.

No wonder they give a little respect. Although Leo himself also felt uncomfortable because he was treated like that.

“Let's see.”

Leo and Hime rush to go to the slope to see if the village of Caprae is indeed there. Armed with a fire torch given by one of the soldiers so that Leo can check if they are there?

If so, it will be good news as well as stressful to Leo. The tense news is, the slope is not a suitable terrain for hiding from enemy pursuit. The place is steep and very unsuitable to be a running field if they are chased.

Some time Leo and Hime went up the slope, followed by people from among adventurers and also soldiers, they had finally seen the crowd on the slope more precisely around the old Leo house.

They were cold, crying, and filled with such overwhelming fear. Moreover, the conditions in which they were able to see the flames devouring their houses, treasures and old people. They, more precisely than hundreds of Caprae residents already have nothing more.

“Leo!”

They shouted, screaming with a little relief as Leo came to him. Moreover, the son of the village chief, Elric, he was actually crying and his face looked so lethargic.

“Thanks for saving us. I didn't know I had to do anything else. My father has died. They need a place again. Me, I don't know what to do.” Elric, he's a crippled spot in front of Leo. As the son of the village chief, it was clear he could not do much at the moment and could not do much to replace his father.

“We're looking for you Leo, we're looking for you in this place to seek refuge. It's just, we're stuck here for not finding you. It feels down is also impossible because the condition has been burned.” One of them spoke up.

Leo remained silent. Yeah, it's his fault. But he did not blame himself entirely for their over-reliance on Leo simply because Leo became a well-known and powerful figure in the Western and Southern parts of the city.

The place had also been burned to the ground, as if it had also become a corpse grave in the ruins that had become ashes. They could not possibly occupy that place anymore.

Leo sighed, he thought of an idea, an idea that was extreme enough to do. It's just, is this going to work or not? but certainly the main goal is compassion, let alone they are social figures of society who are very close to Leo and nothing more.

So, he said, “If you want, you can stay in the forest territory of Esves. But ...” Leo said with a bit of hesitation. “I can't bear the construction. You can build your own house with the same land area. And you build it yourself, then after that you will wake up an economy of its own.”

“More precisely you will create a new village in the forest region of Esves?” Hime's eyes lit up a little to hear it. When else, he has a master who will take care of a village>

Leo actually objected a little, but how else. Leo also did not want to let a child and also a woman pass by as if they did not have a life that would most likely only be a despicable slave who only used dirty materials by the nobles by oneself.

Elric sparkled, as the son of the village chief, he immediately kowtowed in front of Leo, followed by the rest of the Caprae villagers. They don't mind at all though Leo can't help materially because they can certainly work together to build their own.

“Yes, yes, we are truly grateful to you Leo. No, I mean the new village chief.” Elric said with all his heart.

The statement that Leo became a village chief came out of Leo's mouth, made them smile and osark behind a deep sadness and trust a leader for all of them.

Leo scratched his non-itchy head. He had little idea it would be like this. Only, he could not resist and said a little. “Alright if that is the case, however, I need a new village located in the forest region of Esves. All of you, wake up!”

They all woke up after prostrating themselves before Leo and stood up again. Although, they themselves were excited and very curious about the name of the new village that was triggered.

Leo sighed before he thought and said, “The name of the village in the forest region of Esves is, the village of Griefhaven.”

Griefhaven, hearing his name, they were really so enthusiastic. The few adventurers who stood behind Leo, as well as the soldiers, clapped their hands as Leo gave a shelter under their tears after they themselves had suffered such a great destruction.

“But before that. We have to bury them. Although this place is not worth using, but at least we make the former village of Caprae a decent cemetery for those who have died.” Leo says.

They nodded in agreement to bury the people in the land of the village of Caprae.
