[Although the village chief Bert wanted the Forbidden Demon Guards to investigate this anomaly and find out the truth of the matter, the superior Forbidden Demons didn't care. For them, only magicians are worthy of investigation and hunting.
, they wouldn't worry about other things at all, so the village chief could only give up and lead the villagers to bid farewell to the guys with the strange stone plates on their chests.
I thought that if we were in the Emerald Territory, there would be someone dedicated to handle such matters. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sincerely satisfied that I could serve the Emerald Territory and take orders from my master.
After the demon-forbidden man left, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. Under the warning of the village chief Burt, they all put aside the previous anomalies and their anger towards the magician, and continued to live as if nothing had happened.
Indeed, as they thought, the village returned to peace for nearly a month.
Only I could see that beneath the calm were many fearful villagers. Those strong Demacia men who were proud of their hard work in farming had turned into cowards who dared not stay alone in the wheat fields as soon as the sun went down, even when the sun was high.
While hanging in the sky, they also pricked up their ears and looked suspiciously at the scarecrows who were driving away birds and beasts around them. They used angry stones to drive away every approaching bird, as if those birds could see through the weakness and uneasiness in their hearts...
…
Unknowingly, the relaxed smiles were full of holes like a wheat sieve. Although their lives had been peaceful for a long time, fear took root in their bodies and pierced into the depths of their hearts that they thought were tough. Many villagers were
While smiling, I live uneasily in a world of fear.
Under such circumstances, even I felt a little more uneasy about the villagers who couldn't hide their fear. This made me think about the value of the vows I made and the decisions I made when I passed the selection.
After reflecting on the fear that came from cowardice, I successfully overcame the strange uneasiness. I wanted to thoroughly understand the abnormal events that happened in the village of Fosbello, and I wanted to understand what the truth was hidden behind it.
The situation soon changed during the autumn harvest. Edgar disappeared in the wheat field. By the time his wife and daughter thoroughly confirmed his disappearance, it was already late that night. His wife Mia took her daughter to the house.
Staying in the house, he went to the village chief Bert alone and told the elderly village chief that his husband had not returned home all night.
I followed Mia and watched her gather dozens of male villagers under the leadership of the village chief Bert, and headed to the wheat field with torches. I blended into the team, and I felt that the flowers of fear were already on the faces of the male villagers around me.
Blooming, this convinced me that Edgar's disappearance must be related to the fear that never appeared. Only the master who can easily play with people's hearts can make the emotions that have been brewing for a long time burst out. I know that I will soon be able to
Find this hidden master and peel him off from the inside out. I can even bring him back to the Emerald Territory and make him the most perfect psychological insight teacher to serve the Master and the Emerald Territory.
In fact, I had already guessed that the one-night team search was destined to be fruitless. There was no trace of Edgar in the wheat field at all. The man seemed to have completely disappeared, with no trace to be found. In desperation, in order to
To avoid delaying the autumn harvest, village chief Bert disbanded the search team and comforted the somewhat desperate Mia back home.
My instinct told me that I should follow the woman with a gloomy face. This was also true. As an ordinary Demacian peasant woman, Mia couldn't detect my whereabouts at all. I climbed up to the roof of their house and put my characteristic
The sound amplifier penetrated the room through the hole in the roof, and my ears were pressed against the device, turning the private room into a public place with no secrets. Then I heard Mia's fearful voice.
"You...you said you heard daddy knocking on the door?"
"Mom, it's true. Dad is right outside the door. He said he can't come back. We need to open the door to find him. Mom, can we look for dad together?"
The little girl named Aisha really seemed to think that her father was just lost. She didn’t know how much shock and fear her innocent voice caused to her mother... But to be honest, even I, who have a strong heart,
, after hearing the words from the cute little girl's mouth, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
"Aisha...what did your father tell you? Are you sure that was your father and not someone else?"
Women are still struggling in the quagmire of doubt, trying to find a little possibility to give themselves courage.
"Mom, why can't I hear Dad's voice? Dad said he couldn't find his way or his home, so he asked me to go out to look for him. But Mom, you locked the door from the outside when you left, and I couldn't open the door either.
I can only listen to the sound of dad knocking on the door, 'dong dong dong', 'dong dong dong', knocking on the door again and again. Mom, dad is so pitiful, he can't even go home..."
Although I could only hear the sound, I knew without looking that the woman's face was probably paler than the snow in the Freljord. I could even hear the sound of the woman's bones and joints shaking in fear.
"But, but, Aisha, your father has the key? Why can't you go home? And you didn't open the door for your father?"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence for about five seconds. Even I noticed something was wrong, and sweat began to break out on my forehead.

Finally, the girl's voice sounded again, and the innocent and clear tone made the weird atmosphere dissipate a bit, and I felt a little more relaxed.
"Yes, I opened the door...but dad should have the key. Dad will also use the key to entertain many friends at home. In that case, why can't dad open the door and enter his home? Isn't that right?
Say, Dad, he lost his key?"
"But, it's possible, Aisha, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed, listen to mother, go..."
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the wooden door.
In just an instant, all the hairs on my body stood up. It was obviously just three normal knocks on the door, but my legs were shaking unconsciously, because I found that the knock on the door was different from what the little girl just said.
The onomatopoeia is no different, and even the rhythm of the intervals is the same. If this is the case, it means that the person knocking on the door should be Edgar, who has been missing for a few days.
In my nervousness, I wiped the sweat from my palms and waited for things to develop.
At the same time, in the [Sound Amplification Device], the room fell into dead silence again,
"Dong dong dong~"
As if to confirm that there was someone at home, the knock on the door sounded again without any change. In the silence, he wanted the people in the room to open the door and welcome him in.
"It's dad~"
In the sound of "dong dong" footsteps, I understood that it was the girl Aisha who finally reacted and was running towards the wooden door.
