Chapter 57: The Village
As I glanced at her, I realized she would be responsible for the village’s oblivion.
Looking at the village, I can see many people roaming in there, and it is a mix of all races. As they were busy doing their work, and they were not concerned about anyone else.
I did not know why, but I felt at ease when I arrived in the village as if I had returned ho.
When I followed her into the village, the villagers all stared at . They all had a curious look in their eyes and a smile on their faces.
Then she t an old woman sitting outside a house. She appeared to be blind at first glance.
A face filled with wrinkles, a presence reflecting life’s vicissitudes. She seed at peace.
She smiled and said to that woman, “You ca back”
She knelt and held the hand of the old woman. “Yes, I’m back, and I have sothing interesting for you.”
Suddenly, the old woman turned her head toward .
When that old woman stared at , as if she is peering into my life, I felt like I was naked before her.
Although I did not mind being naked in front of a woman, I felt very awkward before that old lady.
A smile spread across the face of that old lady as she said to , “Co here”.
She looked at as I crawled toward her.
She sighed slowly, saying, “You ca from the outside world, but you don’t seem to belong there”
“Yes, I used to be a monkey, but I just transford”, I thought to myself, but I didn’t tell her that.
“Hmmm”, I nodded and looked at the other woman, signaling her to at least introduce to her.
The old lady interrupted and emphasized, “Don’t look at her, you are here by your fate, you can call granny and make yourself at ho.”
It makes no sense to , but I feel like I am in the middle of my own family when I see her smiling at .
“Alia, show him around the village,” that granny told this woman.
Alia stood up, and looked at amusingly, and said “Co, I will show you around here,”
It was amazing to see the diversity of races in the village, but they are completely isolated from the outside world. The people looked primitive, but they looked happy.
I quickly caught up to her and asked, “I am quite surprised to see a village in the middle of the jungle, and I wonder if people here are familiar with the outside world?”
Without even looking at , she replied, “Yes, we have lived here for a long ti, but it is not like we don’t know about the outside world. From ti to ti, people like you visit the jungle.”
Anyway, I didn’t ask her anymore and kept following her. I can’t do anything but follow her.
A short ti later, after I’d toured the entire village, she stopped and turned around to face .
Because of her short stature, her head only reached my shoulder, so I was looking down at her.
“Isn’t it quite surprising that a village popped up out of nowhere in the jungle?”
As I nodded at her, I stared at her intently, trying to figure out what her purpose was in bringing here.
She smiled slightly and asked, “Do you think it was just a coincidence that we t?”
Shaking my head, I answered, “Isn’t that so?”
“I was just wondering, you seem to have evolved recently, didn’t you?” She inquired while raising her eyebrow.
As I nodded at her, her conclusion quite took aback .
She mocked: “You are quite weak for an evolved being and they are one of the most frightening figures in this world.”
I opened my mouth to say sothing, but nothing ca out.
“Nothing to be ashad of, since you just got evolved, you will get powerful in the future.” She paused and then continued.
“As a newly evolved being, you know little about this world, or you would not have been told about it.”
“Leave that aside for a minute, can you just tell , since you are weak, why have you been sent to this dangerous place?” she continued.
“To choose the very best,” I replied without hesitation.
Her face was as if she was looking at a fool. It would have been better for to keep quiet. I was embarrassed.
“Anyway, don’t you think, there are many ways to select, why do they send you here?”
I nodded in agreent with her response. She made a good point.
“Let’s get to the point – do you know why this place even exists?” She asked.
After shaking my head, I said, “I don’t know. You did not tell yet.”
Once again, I should have kept my mouth shut when I saw her face change.
As she breathed out and looked around the people, as she said, “This village has a very long history, so long that it has been forgotten by the annals of ti.”
