The villagers immediately began to discuss in fear, or looked towards the village chief,
"Oh God, this is terrifying!"
"If this continues, we will all die..."
"Chief, is this all true?"
"It's all rumors!" The church door was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a fierce face walked out, looking towards Igor and loudly asking, "Where did you hear these things?"
"It was Me..." Igor instinctively wanted to say "my cousin from Meida told me," but suddenly remembered that this "distant cousin" had come secretly, so he raised his hand to cover his mouth.
The fierce man signaled to an officer beside him but before he could speak, the village chief stepped forward, bowing repeatedly and smiling apologetically, "Master Matos, please don't mind those rascals. They always love to talk nonsense to attract the girls' attention.
"I will have someone discipline him. I promise, the migration will be completed as scheduled."
The fierce man glared at him but did not pursue the matter further.
