Chapter 106 The Strange Village And The Wandering Tiefling Family

    After the vigers inspected the dragon''s corpse to confirm it was real, Arad used hisst drop of strength to absorb it back into his stomach. He then passed out, going limp on Ae''s back.


    "Let''s go to the vige. You have room to rest in, right?" Ae red at the woman.


    The woman growled, "Fine, let''s move," she growled. Standing up, "Bring that one as well," she said, pointing at Jack.


    The woman and her men guided Arad''s party to the vige. On their way, one of the men disclosed that the woman Arad smacked was the former chieftain''s daughter. Her father is getting old, so she''s taking over his job.


    "He can''te?" Ae asked.


    "Yeah, the former chieftain is barely able to walk. We''re in the middle of a powershift." The man replied.


    "So her father is still the chieftain," Ae looked at the men.


    "Yeah, he takes care of the vige problems while she takes care of things that need a lot of moving." The men looked at each other, "Likeing to check on the dragon. Or trade with other viges."


    The woman red back at them with a sore face and quickly shifted her eyes, "To think you killed the dragon," she growled.


    "Yeah, we''re saved," One of the men smiled.


    Ae stared at the woman''s back, sensing destain from her voice. She didn''t seem to be pleased that the dragon died. "Who is going to put those mes down?" The woman sighed.


    Ae looked back at the mes. ^Is she just irritated from the forest fire?^


    When they reached the vige, the chieftain heard and became furious. "Kristina! Why don''t you listen before acting?" The chieftain shouted, almost damaging his lungs. Cough! Cough!


    "If the dragon had been alive, he would have been watching. Us trying to help the people who attacked him would have burned the vige." Kristina replied.


    "That doesn''t mean your first instinct should be to sacrifice people to the dragon!" He stood.


    "What do you want me to do then?" Kristina shouted.


    "Dragons rule with terror. The moment we kneel and lose our fighting spirits is when we be ves to the dragon." Kristina''s father stood, "We''re not goblins or wolves who shake their tails at the first hit. We fight, fight! And keep moving forward!" The chieftain shouted. "The moment our oppressors turn their backs is when we stab them!"


    "It isn''t that easy, father," Kristina said, ring at the chieftain.


    "It is. The dragon has warped your minds. Enthralled them with fear and awe," He shouted, heading to his room.


    One of the men looked at Ae, "Sorry about him." Scratching his cheek, "The chieftain is getting old and senile."


    Ae looked at the chieftain back as he walked away, "No, those are the words of a soldier. He isn''t a snail." She said, "If the entire vige was like him, you might have been able to defeat the dragon with a coordinated attack."


    The man looked at Ae with a surprised face, "He was a toon leader in his past. And he did form a hunting party when the dragon showed up,"


    Kristina looked at them, "He fell ill before the hunting party could do anything. The dragon must have cursed him. It''s the price of anyone foolish enough to stand against the beast."


    She left with an angry face.


    ***


    Later that night, the vigers gave Ae and the two guys one big room. She was the only one to have dinner as Arad and Jack are unconscious.


    Just momentster, Jack was the first one to wake up. The potion Ae used on his seemed to have finally worked, but he woke up starving.


    Jack exited the room to look for a midnight snake and left Ae watching over Arad.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    "Who''s there?" Ae replied, standing up.


    "It''s me, Kristina." The chieftain''s daughter replied.


    "Come in. What do you need?" Ae replied, and Kristina walked in.


    "I wanted to ask about the dragon fight. How did you manage to kill him?"


    Ae told her the story, emitting anything sensitive and painting Jack as the hero of the hunt. Even so, Kristina seemed to keep asking about Arad. What did he do? How did he do it? How could he survive the breath?


    Kristina''s question slowly increased, and Ae started to feel ufortable, "I''m getting sleepy," Ae yawned, "Let''s continue our talk in the morning," she said.


    Kristina stared at Ae with a smile.


    Ae sighed, "Can you leave us alone for a moment?" He got enough of Kristina''s attitude. This whole vige was giving her the creep. The chieftain seemed normal to her.


    With a sad face, Kristina left the room, and Jack returned soon after. "Ae," He approached her, whispering in her ear. "The ce is surrounded. They don''t seem to be willing to attack. But I feel like we''re in jail."


    Ae looked at him, "Are you sure?"


    "Yeah, I''ve been to jail before. We better take turns to stand as guards throughout the night." He said.


    "We just killed a dragon. I doubt they trust us," Ae replied, "I also don''t feelfortable around here, but rx," Shey on the bed beside Arad.


    "You might be right," Jack sat on his bed, "Fearing power is a normal thing. To them, we''re a party strong enough to kill a dragon."


    They slept through the night peacefully.


    Ae looked at Jack in the morning, "See, nothing happened," She smiled, "This vige has its problems, but let''s leave as soon as Arad wakes up."


    Arad didn''t wake up and kept sleeping.


    After a while, Jack headed to the vige center to buy some supplies. He needs a handful of nails, ropes, and the like, as he used a lot of building the traps.


    "Excuse me, do you sell ropes?" Jack pushed the store''s door open and walked in with a smile. "Yeah, we do!" the owner replied.


    Jack looked around, but his eyes immediately stopped on a hooded figure standing as tall as the wall.


    ^Oi! Oi! The ceiling is almost three meters high. Who is that?^ He slowly approached, trying to peek at the figure''s face.


    From the outside, it was clear the figure was a woman. She turned toward Jack and red at him, "Do you need something?"


    Red skin and eyes, two long silver horns peeking from her forehead, and sharp teeth. She bent to look at Arad''s face, "Want something?"


    Jack shook his face, "No,dy." He looked around, "I was just impressed. I have never seen someone so tall."


    After a short re, she stood, "We oni are tall. It isn''t strange,"


    The shopkeeper stared at her, "No! No! Aren''t on a rare type of Tieflings? Seeing someone like you is rare."


    The woman smiled, "Aren''t you scared? We have demonic blood,"


    Jack shook his head, "Actually. My older sister is a Tiefling." He smiled.


    "I''m sure you two don''t look alike." The woman asked.


    "We''re all abandoned kids who grew up on the streets. I doubt we''re actual siblings," Jack shook his head.


    The woman looked worried, "So no matter what we do. It''s always going to be a problem."


    "Lily, Let''s go!" A man called from the back.


    When Jack looked, he saw a six-eyed man carrying a pink-haired, four-armed little girl on his neck. "We need to traverse the forest, remember?" The man said.


    "Yes," The woman approached him.


    The shopkeeper stood, "You can''t! The forest is dangerous, and the monsters are agitated due to the forest fire."


    "Don''t worry!" the little girl said with a smile, "Daddy is super strong!" She smiled, "Be it monsters, dragons, or gods, nothing can escape his sword. OW!"


    Before she could finish talking, the man pinched her leg, "Don''t exaggerate. We need to be careful," The three left, and Jack looked at the shopkeeper. "You get a lot of Tieflings?"


    The shopkeeper shook his head, "No, this is the first time I saw a whole family." He smiled, "They seemed nice. I hope they can safely cross the forest,"


    Jack smiled, "That woman was amazing,"


    The shopkeeper stared at him with a wry smile, "She''s married. Or do you have a thing for tall women?"


    Jack shook his head, "No. I mean she seemed strong." He then red at the shopkeeper, "Do you have ropes? I also need some nails, oil, two small bags, salt, and more things,"


    The shopkeeper turned around toward the shelves, "One at a time. How much rope do you need?"


    "Three meters of the thin rope and two of the thick one," Jack replied and rubbed his eyes, and yawned.


    "You okay?" The shopkeeper asked.


    "Yeah, I just feel drowsy," Jack replied, pulling a chair and sitting.


    When Jack returned that evening, Arad seems to have woken at noon and he was doing fine.


    "Cheif, hear this. I saw this tall woman. She stood up like this!" Jack stretched his hand up.


    "Tiefling?" Ae asked.


    "Yeah, she called herself an Oni," Jack replied.


    Ae suddenly yawned. She was feeling sleepy.
