Chapter 841: The King's Council Is Not the Only One Who Has Died
Misha had absolutely no idea why things had gotten worse to this point.
A day ago, they were heroes from Edric Academy, helping the victims of the disaster to rebuild their homes, and they were loved by the villagers from the bottom of their hearts.
But today, everything suddenly changed.
The people who saw her no longer leaned in to say hello enthusiastically as they did yesterday, but kept their distance from her, gathered together to point and whisper to her, and did not spontaneously offer some small snacks and tea as they did the other day...... Although the things provided by the villagers were certainly not comparable to those that came out of the canteen of Edric Academy, Misha was still happy when she received it a few days ago.
Not only that, but even the way the villagers looked at her was a little wrong.
has been displaced in the refugee group for a long time, and has worked and studied part-time at the Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce for more than half a year, Xiao Xiaosha's attitude towards others is still very sensitive.
She knew it wasn't a kind look.
The little girl shook her head vigorously, patted her cheek with her cold little hand, threw all those distracting thoughts out of her head, and tried desperately to cheer herself up.
"I'm already a student at Adric Academy, and I still have work to do, so now is not the time to waste time on such minutiae."
She muttered softly as if hypnotized herself, then took a step towards the outside of the village as usual.
Just a few steps later, a snowball smashed into her back, causing the little girl to stumble a few steps and almost fall into the snow.
A few of the children in the village who saw the snowball hit Misha in the back celebrated.
The one at the head looks a bit like the Kid King. The slightly older boy shouted at Misha in a haughty manner, "You scoundrels, get out of our village, or don't blame me Uncle Tom for cleaning you up!" β
"Bad, badass?! It's not ...... Ahh β
Misha was startled at first, and then stammered and tried to refute, only to be hit by a snowball on the forehead by the child king.
Although there are no pebbles or anything like that, the hardness of the snow is comparable to that of ice when it is compacted, and it hurts to hit the forehead.
Misha's forehead was smashed red, and the cold snow water flowed down her cheeks and into her neck, making the girl's petite body tremble uncontrollably, she covered her forehead, and tears of grievance swirled in her eyes.
But the children of the village laughed without any sympathy. What's more, he even followed the example of the child king and pinched the snowball. Throw it at Misha.
The mage robes used as uniforms by the Adric Academy do not get wet while worn, and are also able to reduce the power of the blow to the wearer. In the end, Misha had to put on her hood and run out of the village.
Behind her, the cheers of the bears seemed to have repelled the invaders, which made the girl feel like a knife.
After running all the way to the camp outside the village of the Adric Academy. The grievances in her heart were suddenly released. Tears poured down her face.
"Misha. What happened to you? β
Riddle, who was holding a piece of paper, looked up and asked in surprise when he saw the little girl's appearance.
Misha sobbed. Intermittently, he told Riddle and another centaur in charge of the village what had happened to him.
"Those damn stinky little ghosts!" After hearing this, the centaur Ganard waved his strong and muscular arm angrily: "If you let me touch it, I must give them a good look!" β
"Just now, the owl from the academy brought us a letterhead from Professor Sophia, which mentioned that because there have been a lot of rumors recently, maybe the villagers will be hostile or even malicious towards us...... It's just that I didn't expect that it would be strict to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ. β
Riddle shook the letter in his hand and his expression was stern, as the most honest of the four old class presidents in the second year, he would not use gags to defuse the tension during the conversation like the other three, but he was undoubtedly the most reliable one.
He followed Xiwei's example, touched his smooth chin with his hand, thought for a moment, and then asked the girl: "You are treated like this by those village children, and the adults in the village don't come out to stop it...... Are you willing to do this? β
The girl didn't look much older than her, but because she had seen and heard a lot because she had followed Xiwei's adventures, and was far better than many adults in terms of calmness and maturity of her heart, it took a while for her to bite her lip and shake her head, obviously unwilling.
These days, she has been working hard every day to help the homeless villagers in order not to bring the reputation of the Adric College to shame.
Sometimes it's to help people build houses, sometimes it's to deliver food to busy villagers and helpers from Edric, sometimes it's to find the living materials necessary for the villagers to survive, and sometimes it's to rush to the rescue point set up by the Edric Chamber of Commerce to get relief items and other rescue teams......
I get up before dawn every day and work until the two moons in the sky are about to sink in the west.
Even at Riddle's and Ganard's advice, the girl just smiled and responded, and went back to what to do.
When the villagers accept Edric's aid and mingle with them, the girl, who was just trying to protect Edric's reputation, becomes more motivated, and even enjoys the feeling of being needed.
But I didn't expect that it was just the so-called rumors, and all this qiΔ was shattered, and all the hardships and sweat she paid here were denied by the villagers who once thought they were friends, and there was only malice towards her who left behind.
"Riddle, what do you want? Okay, I'm not going to help those guys anymore! Garnard frowned and said viciously.
"Of course." Riddle nodded, "Let's get ready to evacuate." β
"Huh? Are you sure? I thought you'd let us stay on the grounds that 'if you don't want to do it, you can make those villagers accept you again'. β
Centaur Ganard said in surprise.
"We are magicians, not servants of those people." Riddle touched Misha's head, "Misha, maybe you're in a lot of pain now because you've been misunderstood by those people, but remember that magicians have always stumbled down in people's misunderstandings. If you want to become a magician, maybe one day you will be even more alienated and malicious than you are now, but only then can we become stronger in the ordeal! This is our Dean, Sivi. Mr. Edrick sued us a long time ago. β
After a pause, he continued: "As for this village, their farmland is still frozen soil, the houses are not half rebuilt, and the food can only last for three days at most, not to mention fuel and other supplies that are all provided by us. What do you think will happen to them when we leave? β
ββ¦β¦ Wouldn't that be too much? Misha had already stopped crying and said with some hesitation.
It seems that this school girl is still too kind. But compared to those guys who are scheming and pondering some intrigues all day long, it's better to be a simple and kind junior.
Riddle commented on Misha in his heart, and then said with a straight face.
This is the bitter fruit they have planted themselves, and it is natural for them to taste the bitterness themselves. The acquisition of too light yΓ¬ makes them take everything we do for granted. This misconception must be awakened at the first time to make them understand that we do not owe them anything, and that everything we do is done with good intentions, not obligations! β
"Well said!" Centaur Ganard raised his hands in agreement: "The vegetables here are unpalatable!" β
The reason you want to leave suddenly lowers the tone that Riddle has created, hey......
"Isn't there a saying that 'many people don't understand the preciousness of something until they lose it,' and that's exactly what happened today."
Seeing that Misha seemed to be a little hesitant, Riddle continued: "What is obtained lightly, no one will cherish. β
"I see......," the girl nodded as if she didn't understand. (To be continued......)
