The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Farm Destruction #82

The arrival of Altezza in the village was very welcome and warm, let alone knowing that he was the first traveler who came in early this spring. The goal of coming to Blissville Village was to buy some groceries that would certainly be very useful for his long journey.

In the living room of the modest house belonging to the Iris family. Altezza seemed to be chatting with the mother of Iris and Iris herself, as well as waiting for Aria to return with her father from the fields. Previously the mother of Iris introduced herself first to Altezza, "previously introduce first, I'm Olivia, the biological mother of Iris and Aria," said the middle-aged woman politely and kindly, smile at Altezza.

"Where is your next destination after this village?" olivia seemed enthusiastic to ask Altezza.

"I will go towards the Aetheria Port to continue towards the Eastern Continent" replied Altezza, smiling.

"East Continent?" sahut Olivia, looking a little surprised by the purpose of the Altezza journey is very far, "it's a very far place, even had to cross the ocean first to get there," he continued.

"What are you looking for there? To the extent that you are willing to travel far to get to the continent?" Iris asked, looking curious.

"I was curious about one of the fairy tales and a very famous mythology there," said Altezza answer the question.

The conversation continued on casually. Olivia seemed very enthusiastic and happy to be able to accept more newcomers like Altezza. On the sidelines of the conversation, Iris had explained to Altezza why his mother seemed very enthusiastic in entertaining immigrants.

"Mother was very happy after the winter ended, we were able to re-accept the newcomers. The habit of mothers is to invite travelers who come to chat together like now, plus you are the first traveler who comes in this spring," said Iris.

"Is that a tradition here?" ask Altezza.

Olivia shook her head, answering the question, "there really is no such tradition in this village, Nak Altezza. I am only happy when I can welcome and talk with migrants from afar, even though I do not know them, this way I can get to know them," he said.

Not just talking to the two hosts. Altezza also seemed to enjoy the food and drinks that had been given to him. Simple biscuits but sweet and warm, rarely eat such biscuits. When compared to the biscuits that are usually served in his palace, it is certainly very much different, and more luxurious. But in terms of taste, both have the same taste, sweet and delicious and quite crunchy and soft.

"May I ask you, son of Altezza?" asked Olivia, looking at herself with a curious look.

"Of course," replied Altezza stopped his eating for a moment.

"In the Land of Zephyra, where do you live, huh? I feel familiar with your face" asked Olivia.

The question was enough to make Altezza surprised to hear it. Not only herself, Iris was also shocked and confused by the intent of the question, "why do you ask like that? Don't make our guests uncomfortable, mother ...!" said the red-haired girl.

Altezza also laughed casually, and answered the question, "I do live in the royal capital, and I often walk in the city," he said.

"That means right! I remember once, you were wearing a beige shirt and a brown robe at the time, is that true?" olivia said, remembering, and seemed to want to be sure, "at that moment I saw you at the capital's market" he continued.

Shocked and chuckling at what Iris' mother Olivia said, that's what Altezza is doing right now. He knew what Olivia meant, and at the same time felt lucky because he saw himself in disguise as an ordinary citizen.

"Perhaps right, before winter, I did go to the market a lot at that time" Altezza said with a casual smile.

In the middle of this very interesting conversation. Suddenly the clang of the bells rang out twice from the distance, and caught the attention of Iris and Olivia who heard it. Olivia seemed to sigh at the clang of the bell, "Iris, go to the field ...!" her door.

"Well," Iris replied, then immediately moved from where she was sitting.

"What's wrong?" altezza asked Olivia.

Olivia looked at Altezza and replied, "i don't know, but the warning sounds like there's a problem in the village farm."

Olivia also moved from the living room of her house, as well as Altezza. The two of them immediately walked to the source of the sound, and headed towards the village's farm. Not knowing what was going on, but Altezza just followed Olivia's footsteps.

When he reached the field, the eyes of Altezza looked surprised to see a lot of bats flying on the terracing land owned by the villagers. Some plants in the ground were immediately damaged, and some seeds that had just been planted earlier this season immediately disappeared as if eaten by a group of bats.

The peasants could only stand by the edge of their fields, and did not know what to do. The number of bats that come is very much, maybe even touch the number of hundreds more bats.

"Why do bats appear in the morning at noon? Shouldn't they be sleeping like this?" altezza asked, frowning his forehead, staring at the confusion with what was going on there.

Olivia shook her head, "we no one knows what happened to those animals, they came out of the forest and attacked the farm since yesterday, and damage the plants and seeds that we just planted," he said.

"They didn't come in the morning, but also at night" Olivia continued, looking resigned just as the farmers could only stand by the edge of their fields, watching the plants they cared for being damaged by the bat troupe.
