Chapter 142 - Side Story: The Seventh Adviser (4) (2/2)
The wife was still under treatment, but seeing her condition, Danan was sure she wouldn't last long. Two days after that, the wife died and the husband was accused and punished for killing her.
The second crime was the waiter in the restaurant where Danan would occasionally visit to find some information while drinking tea stole the money and ran away. The owner of the restaurant always thought that he was an honest man, that's why he kept the man as his right-hand. Even though he was in need of money, he had never stolen any money from the owner. But, this time, he did so! The man was still on the run.
The third one was a good young man r.a.p.ed a teen girl. The problem was this young man was known as a kind, polite, patient, and all best virtue in him. Let alone raping a girl, even if he was locked in a same room with a girl, all the people in the village knew that he would never cross the boundary. He was the favorite boy of the village. But, he r.a.p.ed the girl who was almost ten years younger than him. How was he related to Danan? This young man was the one who provided information to Danan whenever Danan appeared in the restaurant. It was not like he went around to collect it, but Danan would ask it as if he was only initiating a casual conversation. Of course, the young man was being detained while the girl's family demanded the court to behead the young man for tainting their precious daughter.
The fourth one was the sisters in the shop in front of the restaurant were losing their mind and started to fight over a man. It was chaos, Danan couldn't find the words to describe the situation at that time. Both the sisters were detained in the local prison for causing disturbance.
The fifth one was the one where Danan started to think deeply. A lovely girl seduced a married man, and now she was accused of a.d.u.l.tery together with the man. The man was no other than the owner of the restaurant and the girl was the one who always came to deliver the tea leaves that the owner ordered from her mother. What's more that they did the 'deed' in the warehouse in the back of the restaurant and was caught in the act by the man's wife.
As he pondered about it, he realized two things; first, these five major things happened in less than a week. This village was considered peaceful as only minor things would happen from time to time. For five major immoral things happened in less than a week, it was something big for them. The second was all the people were related to him in a way, they were usually 'inside' the perimeter he had created.
Danan had just arrived in the village for maybe twelve to fourteen days before the incident happened. It was a rather short time for his chaotic aura to take action. It proved what Chief Dewi told him to be wrong, that his chaotic would not affect human. Instead, it worked faster than when he was still human. At this rate, he couldn't get close to any human at all in the future.
After accepting new information about himself, Danan started to increase his effort in finding the Shadows and the Master. His hard work was not in vain as before the first month ended, he had found out the place where the despicable human was hiding in.
The next action was carried swiftly and without any significant trouble holding him back. He managed to destroy their den and cleaned everything; Shadows and their Master. After that, he returned to the Sacred Region and talked to Chief Dewi about his findings.
They talked about it a lot in safe perimeter, then Danan left the woman. This time, he was really strict with his rule to maintain safe distance between him and humans.
Many things happened to him after that, but he faced everything head on with cold-headed, hastily gave any problems with the best solution he had.
By the time their study ended, they were told to enter the chosen army. Danan, without him knowing, was appointed as the best adviser and chosen to be the adviser of White Army. After the inauguration as the adviser of White Army, he was bestowed with the name 'Siji' which meant 'One', as the symbol of him being the best adviser. Apparently the name 'Siji' was exclusive for the best adviser only and the previous 'Siji' was chosen to serve as an adviser in the other army.
Of course, he would still be the seventh adviser in the eyes of his teachers.
But, his study didn't end there. Right after he was appointed as the adviser, he learned a lot about White Army from the library of the Guardians of Legacy.
Yeah, it was a never ending study session, but he liked to do it.
