Chapter 9 (2/2): I Am Impatient In Making A Smooth Village
I spend my next few days as usual
The days were now calr compared to when I started playing Village of Fate. But change was about to co to the village even though I wanted to believe that these calm days will continue.
“The fence around the cave is finally finished”
Gams who attached the last piece of log to the ground breathes with a sigh of relief.
Since it was no longer necessary to build a house, it beca possible for the villagers to use all the logs and build up a fence around the cave.
There are monsters in this world, so there top priority was boosting their defenses. It seems it has been completed.
The thin logs are arranged at regular intervals and are pasted together. The black dog monster which appeared earlier might be able to cross it via jumping but it would need to stop to do so.
And if the movent stops, the pharmacist Murus will shoot down the monster and the villagers will have ti to escape to the cave. This has now reduced my concerns about the defenses.
As for the food, there are lots of variety of mountain fruits and fishes in the river..
So far, the food stocks are increasing and there is no hunger. It seems there is not much food problem in this world. ...... If they might not have enough food then I will ask them to stop sending food tribute.
However, soon winter will arrived and they need to preserve food like smoked at and fishes.
Layla has earlier complained about lack of seasoning for the food but it seems there are rock salts in the cave.
I thought that there was no seasoning other than salt in the ga world but spices exist, however they’re expensive and therefore herbs are commonly used instead.
At first the atmosphere looks calm and smooth. It’s like I don’t have to worry about anything but ... Recently, the villagers behavior has beco strange.
Although they pretends to be calm but they are terrible at it. Gamz is always on the lookout and has beco oversensitive to small noises.
Even though the other villagers are living more abundantly than before but there expression is becoming more severe day by day.
“I feel that everyday conversations have beco tense.”
The villagers have a good relationship but the atmosphere seems heavy.
Everyone often sees a wooden calendar, counts so number on their fingers and take a deep breath.
“Is there sothing like so special day? I don’t know about the customs of the ga world.”
Actually, I want to use a little bit of fate point, but I won’t because I think it’s better to be prepared for ergency after inspecting the villagers behavior.
I have listened to all the conversations of the villagers but I still haven’t figured out the reason for the villagers concerns.
But today was different. One of the villagers who felt uncomfortable about this atmosphere just like spoke out.
“Daddy, mom. Why are you so scared?”
Carol interrupted and asked the question when everybody was about to sleep after dinner.
Well done Carol.
It seems that the girl was the only one who was uninford like .
I operated the mouse wheel to enlarge the image and started peeking at them.
“Daddy and mom are not scared.”
“Yup. Everything is fine.”
The couple crossed their shoulders with a smile on their faces and tried to deceive the girl. Carol stared at them with doubt in her eyes.
“Am I wrong? Everyone keeps looking at the calendar with a terrified expression.”
If you’re doing that kind of explicit behavior, you can’t even deceive a kid.
Lodis and Lyra are bothered by her statent. They look towards Gamz for help and then whisper sothing to eachother.
Lodis puts his hand gently on his daughter’s head and decides to explain it to her.
“Uh ... We didn’t want make you worried. Rember.. when you were in the village, you used to sleep early on the last day of the month and wasnt allowed to go out.”
“Yup! It was definitely not good to get out of the village. The adults were so scared on that day and they looked really angry and uncomfortable when questioned.”
“That was to protect the kids. Carol, you know about the months of the calendar”
“Yup. Seven gods are in charge of the world every month. God of Light, God of the Moon, God of Fire, God of Water, God of Plants, God of Lightning and God of Earth”
Well, so thats the view of this world. I took a note of it as it was important
......Wait? But I’m the God of Fate. I doesn’t seem to be included in this.
“Carol is smart. You rember it properly ”
“But daddy. There are more gods, why are there only seven gods? even though there are twelve full moons a year. What about the rest of the five Gods?”
Good, Carol. You see my thoughts. [ As well as of the readers 😀 ]
“Oh, Let tell you. The seven gods were originally in charge of only one week. “
“Ah, Light(Sunday), Moon(Monday), Fire(Tuesday), Water(Wednesday), Plant(Thursday), Thunder(Friday) and Earth(Saturday)”
I see so such is the settings in the ga world. Since the ti lapse in the ga is the sa as in real ti, it seems that the calendar is also adjusted accordingly.
“Yes. The god who was in charge of each day in turn is a Great God called the Main Gods of this world. Under that god there are more gods called Cousins, and one of them is the God of Fate who watches over us.”
I guess I am one of the Gods who follow soone of the Seven Main Gods. I could understand my role a little.
“At first, Seven days were repeated over and over again but then there was a big fight between the Gods. In the first month, cold winds blew and in the fourth, the nature god camp beca dominant, in the sixth month the god of water and the god of thunder fought violently, and in the eighth month, god of fire was the fiercest and it took 12 months for Gods to stop fighting.”
It feels like a year long quarrel but the myths are really magnificent.
It might actually have been hundred or thousand of years.
The explanation of Lodis was for Carol, but now everyone present was listening. [Including us :D]
“That’s why the God’s camp that won the fight beca in control of the world. The god who was in charge of the day of the week who played active part beca the Seven Lords. ”
“Hey, what happened to the defeated God?”
Carol, you really co up with good points. I wanted to ask the sa question.
“That’s right. The losing gods ca to be called the Evil Gods and was sealed to the bottom of the earth but he still has power and lend it to the monsters once a month to shows up back in this world. That’s the day called 《The Temptation of the Evil Gods》, which occurs at the end of the month.”
“So it’s dangerous to go outside on the last day of the month because on that day the power of the monsters increases and becos extrely violent.”
Finally, the story was finished.
The villagers beca ready to sleep as soon as the story ended.
The threat level at the end of the month is unknown but I should remain wary.
So everyone was acting strange beca of the Temptation of the Evil Gods at the end of the month.
I clicked on the calender in the cave and it showed the sa date as the real calendar.
It was November 20th.
So there are still 10 more days to go.
If you think of it, it looks like a ga-like event or rather it actually is.
The scale of the monster attack is unclear but it seems I will also need to lend a hand to the villagers.
