2255 Searching 1 (1/2)
The wind was raging, the heavy scent of blood filled the air and the mountain been flattened in an instant. Such a phenomenon could not be overlooked and it had naturally aroused the attention from the nearby villages. Each and everyone of them scurried to hide and only after a long time when there was no longer without any other abnormalities did they run out one by one.
Standing from a height, one could only see the mountain that once stood tall looked as if it had been cut off from the side as the entire mountain top had disappeared from the sight of people without a trace.
Seeing such a sight had stirred the hearts of the villagers. Many of the villagers were ignorant and thought that they had angered the gods. They all knelt down in fear in front of their village and bowed to the place where the mountain had been levelled.
The steady sound of horseshoes walking on green grass could be heard from the distance as it continued on the meandering path that led to the village. When a youth, whose gaze had a hint of anxiety, suddenly saw that in front of that small village lay a group of villagers who were bowing with reverence at a certain direction with their hands together in prayer, he wrinkled his brows slightly. He raised his hand slightly and the team behind him stopped. A lady with a cold and arrogant temperament at the side looked at him and nodded her head. That youth dismounted his horse and walked straight towards the villagers.
”May I know the reason why you are all bowing here?” That youth asked in a crisp voice.
The villagers who were sincerely worshipping felt impatient being disturbed in the midst of their prayers, however when they raised their heads, they found that it was a handsome young man. For a moment, after been stunned momentarily, all that impatience had dissipated after seeing all those men clad in light armour behind him. With a smile, one of them answered: ”Young Master, you should not be from around, right?”
That youth nodded his head.
That villager heaved a sigh of relief before saying, ”Young Master does not know, in a village nearby, we don't know who had done something evil and incurred the wraths of the gods that they had meted out their divine punishment. Fortunately, the gods are merciful and they only gave a small warning without hurting anyone. That is why... we only want to confess our sins here as we pray with our sincere hearts to them.”
That youth slightly arched his eyebrows and felt that the words spoken by that villager were ridiculous.
Gods?
What the hell was this?
