Chapter 92 A monster of your convenience

How the deafening silence fills the room, Rizette covered him with a piece of brown cloth as his robe was burned all over. He looked as if he when through all whole invasions again, it contrasts the nonchalant behavior of him covering his mouth from yawning while all the previously scheming elders were flabbergasted by his sudden appearance in the carriage. "Young Master... we were", "Great Alchemist we were just having a private", "That is to say a internal discussion" all the elders excuses combined together sounded like they were talking gibberish (Making excuses?) Tetso thought as he was about to speak, (...) "Are we done yet?", as a wave of soul crushing aura swept the room, silencing every single person even bringing Tetso back to his knee. As if their bodies instinctly went into staying down, their voices unable to raise a single octave higher than the murmured petulant way he spoke. "Now then" Lieg asked perfunctorily as if he was honestly finished with the all of this debating, deciding, manipulating. "You may speak" Lieg commented in his normal voice yet there could be felt a sense of command as a king would give orders allowing you to speak, and this alone cause the weight that was gripping everyone's throats to release. (Sfx Cough, cough) They all began clearing their throats, Tetso then asked " We were trying to discuss what we should do going forward, although it was never our intention to leave you out of it we heard you a had prior engagement with young Hoku", Lieg looks at Tetso "Hmmmm" Old Lady Bao Baba then chimed in "Before we go any further I do want to say this to you boy", This caught the attention of Lieg immediately, "Before I even talk about what you have done for a village I just want to thank you for taking care of my young grandnephew, he always knew deep down that he was different from the regular villagers and this caused him to try and blend into Obi's young group. While the whole time by himself trying to understand his emotions, so for you to allow him some peace of mind not to make him think of himself as a monster would help him realize his true nature and help him to have control. And for that I truly thank you, It's unfortunate what happened to his sister and what's going on with that old Fox but I believe everything will work out having you by your side".

Lieg muttered "Really?" In a disappointed tone but then baba continued "If that really what you think I would say you little shit, then you really have not been around us for that long" Surprising everyone in the carriage, "You clearly aren't a good samaritan and I definitely feel nothing short of a gut-wrenching unknown entity before us all, that alone leaves me with no trust in my heart for you boy... butts fortunately for us it seems our objective are in line with whatever plans your manipulating on the surface of helping us, but you don't seem to be a guy that likes drama so we're just going to make it simple for you, we are outnumbered and I'm out manned but we have the resources and the skill to supply an army that is beneficial to whatever side we take and detrimental to whatever side we're facing even if it's the two greatest military might on this continent. Now all these idiots that have been twiddling their thumbs wagging their tails like some team lap dogs". As soon as a comments left her lip all the elders eyebrows were raised, and the meek or that they were giving off shifted into something fierce all of this combination of words and mode changing in the carriage has all the elders stood up strong blood vessel that seemed to have gone extinct suddenly appeared across their face their necks their arms grasping a face finding strengths and pride that was someone lost for years not as a blacksmith but as the Warriors that carry the ancestors that drag their civilization up that mountain in the first place.

"We might have lost our ways left, but these old wolf push to the corner can still give a big bite", "AHAHAHA...well can't let this old bat talk shit on our names can we... I am Elder Lenil Faki the black iron Hammersmith I'm also the carpenter that assisted in building this Carriage you're in, "Our own sons abandon us, thinking us to be fools to follow the chief to the end I refuse to prove them right...I am Elder Aarie Rito the blue bladed short sword Smith these hands might not be able to create any more legendary blades but the knowledge was surely guide the next generation". "My family came to a generations after from the eastern border we had nowhere to go and but we still found a home here when no one else could accept us, the chief is the village and I go wherever the village is...I am Lady Misuki Koki a lightning magic user, a magi jewelry crafts woman. As everyone stood up giving their names in the circle assessing what they can do to assist with a safe journey, they had left nothing but a grin on Lieg's face. (Now that's more like it) Lieg thought to himself as he stood up, "Now that I'm finished with the whimpering on your impending death, we can move on to business
