The Village head invited Lenny into a room where they sat and talked. Lenny explained how he had no mory of who he was and the last thing he rembered was falling from the sky.
His words had made the village chief raise a brow, but she imdiately hid it. Lenny also explained that he had been pursued by Nana the hunter, intentionally skipping the part that the rebels had tried to sell him off at the pig market. He added that Mupstick and Venir had saved his life, and saving Venir was just him repaying the favor.
The village head turned to mupstick with anger in her eyes. Obviously, she was not aware of this. Besides, the na of the Hunter was one that would strike fear in the heart of any person. Even now, she could not help but feel that it was a miracle that lenny had escaped with his life.
"Forgive , Village head! We had no choice. As you know, things have been very hard. I only took so of the old treasures we found from the last battle here to the Pig market in hopes that we could get so money to pay up the next tax.
As you know, I and my niece are all that is left, and the earth only gives one fruit a day when Venir prays to it. There is not nearly enough to pay for the taxes. I really had no choice..." Mupstick had a pitiful look on his face.
The old woman sighed, "I understand. In truth, I am proud of you. Your life was saved and you repaid the debt. If you had not done such a selfless deed, we would have lost another child today."
The village head encouraged lenny to continue with his story and he did.
At the sa ti, lenny took the opportunity to ask questions. Questions that had sparked certain mories in his head. For example: he asked about Naamah and lamastu.
These two won, according to the Village head were human. But just as lenny had predicted, they were one of the oldest humans to ever exist.
Also, they were known as people of the forbidden. It is said that their curse affects any and everyone around them.
Even the earth does not escape from it. After all, those two had eaten from the Tree of Knowledge. A mystical plant of the first garden.
Each like their other sisters, had taken a side with the demon families and rumors had it that they even had a hand in the fall of the morningstar.
Naamah sided with the Asmodeus royal family while, lamastu sided with the Abaddon royal family.
They were also rumors by the Earthen Elves that the arrival of Naamah was the reason why the earth no longer listened to them. Of course, so people claid that it was the arrival of the Devil dungeons.
Either way, their subplane was dying, and they were in great need of help.
"The Earth, she was happy with you when you killed those soldiers. She blessed your handy work with these..." she presented so of the crystal fruits to Lenny.
Lenny took one of it in his hand. It felt squishy. With the encouraging look of the Village head, he nodded as he ate the fruit.
this fruit, cool to the tongue tasted like a mix of honey with a pinch of salt. It slid down into his belly and he could instantly feel it act on his body.
It made him feel like every cell of his body was screaming praises. Also, he got another alert.
The village head nodded, "this is the fruit of Celesterra. Usually, she only blesses the people of the plane with food. but it seems she approves of you. besides, because of you, we have a bountiful harvest.
Lenny’s eyes shone brightly, "these fruits, how many of them did you harvest?"
"there were about 200," the village head replied. "We have already removed so that we may use for the next Taxes. other than that, we shall consu the others."
Lenny nodded with a frown.
"Is there sothing I can help you with?" The Village head asked noticing Lenny’s thoughtful look.
Lenny imdiately spoke up, "during my battle with Nana the hunter. She said that my loss of mory was as a result of my soul being damaged.
With what i have seen from the soldiers and the whispers around, I have co to understand that the matters of the soul, are a specialty of the Earthen elves. Is there perhaps a way you can help ?"
The Village head leaned forward. She placed a hand on his head and another in his chest. "I am going to check on your soul. But you will have to free up your mind for to get in."
Lenny nodded and did as she instructed.
She closed her eyes and after a while, she opened them up. Cold sweat fell from her forehead, "How are you still alive?" Those were the first words that ca out from her mouth.
"Your soul his heavily damaged. if not for your incredible cultivation, you should have at least ran mad by now. The damage to your soul is a lot."
Lenny frowned.
She saw his expression and sighed as she continued, "But that does not an that all hope his lost. What his damaged his your soul in its Green form. Once you are able to increase your soul Level even higher, it will imdiately beco Whole again.
You see, the Levels of the soul, Green, Yellow, Blue, Red, Purple, Gold, all equate a certain level of mastery on the Life equation. For this reason, those that only cultivate the body and not the soul will never be able to comprehend the Cosmic laws. And at the end, get stuck on the path of cultivation."
Lenny’s eyes brightened up at her words. It was obvious that this woman knew a lot.
Mupstick by the side could see lenny’s expression and he explained, "the village head used to be a warrior, and fought during the war against the morningstar. But due to unforeseen accidents, lost her cultivation."
The village head nodded as she continued to explain. it was obvious that being able to share so of her wisdom made her feel very good.
"Normally, Healing your soul should have still been possible even in the Green soul level. However, you have..."
