YM778.TV Chapter 181 - The Village Chief
"Thank you for the help, only that one for \'now.\'" Desmond smiled faintly before turning around and gesturing for Selena to follow him by hand, "Then we\'ll go first."
Seeing that Desmond was no longer looking at her, Selena dropped her shoulders and her acting that was looked brave and strong as she turned her head back to her leader with teary eyes. "Leader?"
Veronica sighed and patted her head, "It\'s okay; after all, the soldiers said the forest was safe." Seeing Selena nod reminded her of their bitter memories when completing a mission in the forest.
Selena didn\'t notice her leader\'s gaze due to her short height, but after she nodded, she turned around and followed Desmond from behind with a distance of about 1m, separated them.
On the other hand, the two of them were also oblivious to Laura, who was staring intently at all of this while walking beside her young master.
....
Meanwhile, when the captain of the royal troops saw Desmond leaving, he felt conflicted. Even though his subordinates had already checked the forest but it was still dangerous, even though he also had a grudge with Desmond\'s personality, but at work, he shouldn\'t bring personal feelings or grudges.
He turned to his Guardian, hoping to assign him to escort the boy, but what he got was his Guardian casually and still enjoying the breeze under the leafy tree.
He glanced back at Desmond, who was only accompanied by two women and sighed helplessly. Clenching his fists, the captain muttered, "Tch, I just hope I get this month\'s salary ..."
Yet in the room of one of the houses in the village.
This room looked designed as a room where people gathered, with one giant round table in the middle and chairs surrounding it.
With no windows or sidelines, the sun\'s rays were wholly blocked from entering. Instead, the heat and stickiness of the candles stuck to the wooden walls were placed.
With the darkness that enveloped this room, it was also seen that the ceiling of this room was not made of bamboo as it should be, nor a wooden or clay roof, but a brick as if it gave the impression that this was a basement.
Nevertheless, the light from the door of this room gave a different view. With the candlelight, it repeatedly flickered, showing the shadow of five people gathered and chatting at the round table.
But one of the people looked familiar. When Desmond or Vesta saw him, they would immediately recognize this person, namely Sam, the village chief. Meanwhile, the other four people consisted of three men, and one woman seemed an ordinary villager.
* thump *
With a slightly muscular build and a thick beard, one of the men suddenly hit the surface of the round table violently.
"Sam! We have to chase out them! What if they are disguised as well ?! " the man snapped and stared angrily at Sam.

....
"No, we can\'t kick them out. Judging from the way they dress, it looks like they really are from the royal army. " The woman with blonde hair argued while staring coldly at the man.
"But ..."
"Quite!" Sam, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth and shouted, glaring at the two of them. "Even though I never saw the Guardian in person, I believe these people are real!"
Sam paused to take a breath, "They also said they were leaving this afternoon, so what\'s wrong with at least lending them a place! Not to mention that they promised that the kingdom would pay for the goods they asked for! "
Sam was panting, his breathing rough as a result of his screaming that made his throat dry. He looked one by one at the villagers and saw the man who had denied before staring at him with a twitching face.
Seeing this, Sam sighed and opened his mouth, "Speak, Jon."
Jon, who saw his gaze, did not immediately answer; he glanced at the other villagers and found them looking at him with a different expression.
Gritting his teeth, Jon strengthen his will to speak up while lifting his head, "Sam, even so, at least we can\'t trust someone that easy anymore-"
"-Say it clearly; the way you speak is the same as a woman." The woman who had previously denied Jon commented with a snort.
Jon was silent, staring at the woman with hatred, "Send-"

"Village head, someone has entered the forest area." Other villagers came while panting.
.....
At the same time, Desmond had just exited the village through the front gate with Laura and Selena.
After a bit far from the village, Desmond looked up with his hand raised, blocking the sunlight from entering his eyes. Seeing that the sky was still blue without any cloudy clouds made his lips curl slightly upward.
"A fine day for a walk." His eyes then wandered, staring at the surroundings.
The sun shines down on the surrounding forest, making the green leaves appear to have a golden aura, while the ringing sound of the forest also adds to the natural impression of nature.
In Desmond\'s eyes, this looks calm and peaceful, which makes him remember his vacation days abroad in his old world.
With the two women following him from behind, Desmond took a walk into the forest. Where he saw a natural beauty, the giant rock illuminated by the sunlight in the middle of the forest looked magical to his eyes.
With a frog on top of that, the rock gave imperssion a sacred and long history of being formed. But he knew this is only his imagination; it\'s obvious there is no river here; it\'s just the rock was formed from mud.
* squeak *
As Desmond took another step, he found a rabbit past and leaping over his feet into the thicket.
Although this forest is not as beautiful as when he experiences being become a dragon, it is still satisfying and helps his mind to forget all the past events
"Ah ..." Sitting on one of the branches with a fallen tree, Desmond exhaled as he closed his eyes, "What do you guys think about this?"
Desmond\'s question made the two women slightly startled and looked at him.
Desmond opened his eyes only to see Selena, standing groggy with her head looking down while only Laura stared at him with a smile.
Did something happten bettwen them? Although he felt strange, he didn\'t ask as he know \'Never interfere in women\'s affairs.\'
"I think this forest is magnificent, young master." Laura smiled as she looked at Desmond and cleaned some of the leaves that had fallen on top of her hair.
To her surprise, her young master seemed didn\'t look at her. Instead, he focused on her back which made her gloomy.
But Laura didn\'t know that Desmond was staring at the trail of dirt that formed the sole of the foot behind her.
