Team villains except me

[Give me a handful of water, my tolerant god

I will sing for you, I will pray for you

I will give up the bad habit of drinking blood, I will escape from the filth of yellow sand

Give me a bowl of water, my merciful king

I will put down my sword and halberd, I will give my heart

I will offer you the cleanest blood for you to taste

Give me a drop of water, my dear stranger

I want to hug you, I want to keep you, I sincerely welcome you

Stranger, don't be afraid, Chachas will be your home

Stranger, don't pray, Chachas has the wisest lord

Foreigner, please don’t leave, our flesh and blood are inseparable...

——The Ballad of Chachas】

-

Norvia still went to Wandelan to have dinner with Irene and Spider Bi in the evening.

Irene and Spider Girl both seemed to be in a good mood today, and Norvia looked at them with much less unspeakable anxiety.

"Norvia...do you think I will be a good king?"

While joking, Irene asked this question repeatedly.She poked the Blanc Mancane in her hand, not daring to raise her head to look into the eyes of the half-mermaid and the forest witch.

She needed confirmation—confirmation that she had such qualifications.She has no moral sense, and there is no guarantee that she will not be like her father when she becomes king.

Her bottom line is only her teammates.Among the teammates, only the half-mermaid has a stable moral limit.

"——Yes. If it is Irene, she will definitely be a good king."

Norvia put down the knife and fork in her hand and said this seriously.

She felt that Irene needed care, but she did not think that Irene was incapable.

Weakness doesn't mean lack of strength, not to mention that Erin is actually very strong.

"Worrying about these is worse than worrying about how to transform from lord to king."

Spider Girl ate a piece of sliced ​​ham and leaned lazily on the black armchair.

"Do you need my assassination services?"

Erin: "No. I can do it myself if necessary."

Norvia: ...The topic is taking a strange turn.

Spider Girl caught a glimpse of the half-mermaid's helpless expression, and she gently touched the half-mermaid's arm with a vine.

"what happened?"

Norvia shook her head.

"It's nothing."

She just hoped that the king of Aoyou would not let Irene use assassination methods.

For Irene, a king who needs to be forcibly erased must be a failed father.

Although it is now.

-

When Norvia walked to Deshi Manor, she saw Joshua squatting in front of the gate again.

He swiped at the contact device with a frown, clearly troubled by something.

Norvia's footsteps seemed to wake him up.

Joshua stood up suddenly.

"Norvia, you are finally here."

Being so close, Norvia could clearly see Joshua’s red and swollen eyes.

Norvia: "...What's going on?"

Joshua's voice was trembling.

"It's already the seventh day. That Kalan should have woken up a long time ago. The only reason why he doesn't wake up is because he doesn't want to wake up. So I checked some things about Chachas... Wuwuwuwuwuwu, why is it so miserable? Those water magicians!”

Joshua's tears fell heavily to the ground.

He handed the communicator to Nolvia and lowered his head to find paper in his pocket to wipe his eyes.

with a snap.

Yusili opened the door and handed out a handkerchief.

Joshua blew his nose with a handkerchief with tears in his eyes.

Yusili:......

She often wondered what was wrong with her brother.

Norvia looked at Joshua and Yusri funnyly.

However, the next second, her eyes were stung by the content displayed on the communicator that Joshua thrust into her.

"Chachas absorbs the water magician plan".

The picture under such a title is of broken flesh and blood, dirty and muddy.

It might have once been part of a water mage, but in the picture it was just trash that needed to be disposed of.

Thirty water magicians.

Their lives only cost 30 gold coins.

This is a hoax set by the lords of Chachas.He used 30 gold coins to turn the thirty water magicians into slaves of Chachas.

After their water magic is exhausted, they will be treated as animals without dignity and sent to the research institute.

The lord of Chachas wants to use them to create more water magicians.

He failed.

But the water resources left by the thirty water magicians were enough for Chas to survive another 20 years.

So the lord of Chachas declared to the outside world that these magicians were working very well in Chachas, and he would send their wages to the relatives of these magicians every month.

What finally came to light was that a magician's sister missed her brother too much.

The sister hired an astrologer with the money Chachas sent her.

She went to look for her brother who had been on a business trip and had not returned home based on the specific location divined by the astrologer, but she only saw countless rotting flesh and blood in the garbage.

No bones, no head.There was only rotten stuff, and it was impossible to tell whose it belonged to, like the flesh and blood of an animal.

The sister bravely came forward to expose all this, but the incident did not cause much controversy.

The lord of Chachas abdicated and gave Chachas to his son.

The family members of the water magicians received [-] gold coins and fell silent.

——This was all premeditated.

The "Chachas Plan to Absorb Water Magicians" only targets poor water magicians.

Magicians who have no relatives or have a bad relationship with their families are given priority.

The world doesn't care about them.

Chachaz chewed them up.

After that, Chachas started the "Take in Foreigners Plan".

They are willing to support all displaced children unconditionally.

The past was buried, and Chachas gradually became the first choice for parents who did not want or could not raise their children.

Orphans who had nowhere to go because of the war also took the initiative to go to Chachas.

But whether there are future water magicians among these children-Chachas claims to have never discovered it.

Only the sister of the water magician who was killed back then was still working hard to expose the ugliness of Chachas.

She wrote her message at the end of the article.

[I am Aloy Garne, and my brother is the water magician Ghishan Garne.

He died of Chachaz at the age of 22.

If you are a water magician, please stay away from that hell.The world doesn't need any more tragedy.

I'm still alive.As long as I live, the sins of Chachas will not be buried. 】

When Norvia read the last line, the article disappeared.

When Norvia searched for Chachas again, the first thing that popped up was the "Plan to Take in Foreigners."

Chachas is shamelessly covering up its crimes.

Joshua looked at the half-mermaid's expression and knew that she had finished reading the information.

He sniffed and his voice became hoarse.

"Norvia, I understand why Kalan doesn't want to wake up.

I thought you said his sister was a water mage - and that her sister wouldn't end well in Chachas. "

Norvia was speechless.

She thought of Caritan.

Caritan, always holding a wine glass.

Being drenched by her water magic over and over again makes her the Water Bunny's genius teacher.

Caritan said little, but she wasn't actually standoffish.She just isolated herself.

And this isolation is only for herself, and she is not shy about releasing kindness to others.

She rarely smiled, and had almost no entertainment. She confined herself to the theater, soaking in water magic until she suffocated.

"Why has to be this way?"

Norvia saw it and asked with a serious expression.

At this almost questioning concern, Caritan stiffly tried to smile.

"Water magic won't hurt me."

Caritan explained this, and gently made a water mermaid with white hair and blue eyes and gave it to Norvia.

Just like how she coaxed Kalan.

Norvia couldn't help but think about the old photo she happened to see in the theater.

It was young Caritan, wearing a brown coffee shop uniform, looking at the image with a sullen eyebrow.

Although he didn’t smile, he was very lively.

Even after all these years, one can still see how free and carefree Caritan was at that time.

Nolvia had asked Kalitan in a veiled way if she needed help - after she went to see Kalan alone in Chachas.

"Norvia..."

Caritan always called her name with a hint of unconscious clumsiness.

But every time Caritan called her name seriously during the conversation.

"Norvia. Well done."

"Norvia, your eyes are beautiful."

"Norvia. Come on for the game."

……

"Norvia...thank you for being willing to meet Kalan. It's okay. God is kind. As long as I move forward, He will always give me a way."

These were the last words Caritan said to her.

-

The gods showed no mercy to Caritan.

-

Norvia lowered her eyes and walked into the guest room of Deshi Manor with Joshua wordlessly.

Kalan was lying there, weak, pale, and extremely quiet.

His presence spells the death of Caritan.

"Do you think he is willing to wake up?"

Joshua asked Norvia hesitantly.

Norvia hesitated for a moment.

"I don't know. But I think he wants to wake up."

If Kalan really had no intention of living, he would not have struggled to come to Ebersig to seek help from her.

After escaping from Chachas to Remiaz and finding Teacher Valerio, Kallan should have fainted long ago.

But he held on and did not dare to fall into unconsciousness until he saw her.

Kalan has a strong will to survive.

Joshua was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.

"Actually, strong stimulation can also wake him up. I was checking Chas's information here today and accidentally read out the information I saw.

He had a slight reaction to what I said.

Of the words I uttered, he had the biggest reaction to 'outsider'. "

Joshua turned on the communicator and searched for something in a familiar way.

"...Norvia, have you heard of 'The Ballad of Chachas'?"

Norvia shook her head.

She didn't know much about the culture of Chachas.

Most private lands are closed to traffic.Open private territories are either large-scale projects that require outsiders to enter and exit freely, or the lord is open-minded and generous and allows the citizens to leave.

Chachas has a magic circle because it has a "plan to take in foreigners."

"I think Chachas songs are horrible."

Joshua turned on the sound switch of the communicator.

"But this should excite Kallan. There are many descriptions of strangers in the ballads.

Norvia, if you're scared, cover your ears now, I'm going to start singing. "

Norvia was not afraid.

She listened to the hoarse voice singing "Stranger, don't leave" in the communication device, and felt it was ridiculous.

It's just a cover-up.

Norvia hated the lord of Chachas.

There were obviously many ways to solve Chachas' predicament, but he chose the most vicious one.

why?

"Because it saves the most money."

When she asked Valerio, the chairman replied like this.

His silver eyes were cold.

"But people should have a bottom line. I am indeed a businessman, and I also like good deals. But I will never become a monster like the lord of Chachas.

Human life shouldn't be so lowly. "

Ten thousand gold coins is a lot, but not enough for a life.

In fact, there is no equation between money and life.

Chachas knows this very well, so now Chachas has many strangers, and it doesn't even have to pay the ten thousand gold coins.

Norvia felt sick.

The song of Chachas still echoed in the guest room, and the hoarse voice tirelessly admonished the strangers, like a devil howling.

"Do not……"

A faint voice floated over.

Norvia raised her eyes and saw Kalan with half-open blue eyes.

"Norvia! He's awake!"

Joshua pointed at Kalan with a look of surprise.

Kallan was still trying to make a sound.

Joshua moved closer to him.

"what do you want to say?"

"No... ballad..."

Kalan's blindfolded eye oozed bloody tears, staining the snow-white gauze red.

He strained to make a sound, nearly vomiting his soul out.

Norvia suddenly realized what Kalan wanted to do, and she quickly stepped forward and turned off Joshua's contact device.

The hoarse singing disappeared.

Kalan silently said thank you to Norvia.

He passed out again.
