Elder? Zeke couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild because he was reminded of Muraco's Elder. Since the White
Muraco Clan has an Elder, surely the Black Muraco Clan would have one as well. I've never seen the Black Muraco
Clan's Elder, though. Could Cesar be the Black Muraco Clan's Elder? The poisonous worms in the villagers are
similar to the Black Muraco Clan's cursed parasitic worm. The probability is high.
After noticing that Rick couldn't do anything about the poisonous worms in the villagers' bodies, Zeke examined
them and confirmed that the worms were indeed the Black Muraco Clan's cursed parasitic worm.
Zeke didn't have the antidote, so he had no choice but to find Dullioud's headquarters before forcing them to give
the villagers the antidote.
“Let the villagers go home immediately!” Zeke ordered Rick.
“Okay!” Rick quickly played his flute.
Upon hearing the tune, the villagers started moving and walked back home like a bunch of robots.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all the villagers had arrived home, Zeke ordered Rick again, “Wake them up and let them regain their
consciousness!”
Zeke was sure Rick could do that because, if not, the villagers would've been starved to death.
Rick was hesitating. Seeing that, Sole Wolf got angry and glared at him.
Frightened, Rick did as he was told.
As he was playing his flute, the villagers slowly came back to their senses.
At that time, it was midnight. When the villagers regained their consciousness, they all went to sleep.
Some of the villagers were unable to sleep after getting awakened by the flute. However, none of them felt
anything out of the ordinary. Instead, they just thought they were suffering from insomnia.
Zeke and the others waited at the same spot for the pigeon to return with a reply.
Before they knew it, the morning sun had risen, brightening the night sky.
As the first ray of sunlight shone, the village was filled with lively commotion.
As before, the villagers went out with their farming tools and went to work on the farm.
They were all greeting each other warmly and interacting harmoniously.
“Mommy, I've seen Great Marshal!” a little girl voiced, and Zeke and Sole Wolf heard that.
When they turned toward the voice, they saw a five-year-old girl talking to her mother.
The young mother didn't believe a word her daughter said. “What are you blabbering about so early in the morning,
young one? Go home. I need to work now.”
The little girl argued, “Mommy, I really saw Great Marshal last night. Great Marshal had even smiled at me!”
The young mother was getting impatient. “I'm going to get angry if you keep talking nonsense. Great Marshal is
even greater than the Gods! Why would he possibly come to an insignificant place like ours? You must've dreamt
about Great Marshal last night. Quick. Go home. I need to work.”
The young mother ignored the little girl and left.
The little girl was disappointed, and she murmured, “I really did see Great Marshal Zee. Hmph! I must find Great
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarshal Zee to prove that I wasn't talking nonsense.”
With that, the little girl skipped away.
Sole Wolf flashed a smile. “Zeke, who would've thought you were so famous? Even the little girl knows you!”
“Didn't you notice they have photos of me hanging in all their homes?” Zeke asked.
“Oh? How did I miss that?” Sole Wolf furrowed his brows.
Zeke gazed meaningfully into the distance and uttered, “In fact, I've battled here and protected the villagers. I was
just doing my duty, but I didn't know the villagers would remember me till this day.”
Indeed, Zeke battled with someone from Dartan for three days and two nights. It was a gruesome and tragic battle.
During the battle, Zeke had protected all the villagers there, and not even one of them was harmed. While doing
that, Zeke had also sacrificed in some way.
After that battle, the villagers remembered Zeke and worshipped him like he was a god.
Sole Wolf nodded in realization upon hearing that. No wonder Zeke had stopped me when I nearly hurt the villagers
on numerous occasions. He has a friendly relationship with the villagers here.
Soon, the little girl spotted Zeke and Sole Wolf, and she was in utter disbelief.
