NPC Town-building Game

chapter 31

I closely observed the people who suddenly appeared.

For a moment I thought that they are survivors but from their appearance it’s clear that they aren’t.

A middle aged man with rounder ears cannot be called an beautiful elf.

While the others were armed, only he is different. He seems to be on some kind of journey in this world

Leathers boots, thick coat, the outfit is simple but his impression isn’t poor. Are these clothes pretty expensive?

The rugged look is probably because he witnessed the current situation in the village.

Except for that fat middle aged man, everyone else is wearing leather armors similar to Gams. There is also woman with a dagger and a small bow and light clothes for easy mobility as well as there is a small man wearing a good with a big wand in his hands. So he is a classic fantasy wizard.

“It feels like a classic adventure party in middle ages. Are they adventures of this world?”

A mysterious profession called Adventurer is often found in recent fantasy works.

There basic mechanic is to accept task for monster subjugation, defeat and kill the monster, sell the materials on its body and make money. There seems to be adventurers in this world.

I have been wondering for a long time, is it really okay to defeat deadly and evil monsters to make more money?

It I strange that if you defeat one monster yet after all that danger, you will not be able to enough money to live comfortably for one month.

Aside from my doubts, the problem is this shady group.

I operated the mouse and clicked on them but only ??? is displayed and hence not information is obtained.

I tried to enlarge the map to see if I can hear the conversations.

“Well, as expected.”

I have been worried about when the sentences of a conversation are displayed and when not. I can not guess it to some extent.

Probably the conversations are not displayed until the Bible is close enough.

When the monsters attacked the base, only Gams’ words were recorded and not of the Rodis family hiding inside the cave.

One more thing, when I activated the Golem manipulation, only that small statue made by Carol was operation and not the one back at the base.

In other words, the game is centered and functional due to the Bible. Both the miracles and oracles can be executed only when the Bible is nearby. If I forget this someday, then everyone can be hurt.

Well, because of this conclusion, I decided to bring in Rodis family as well.

“Now…they are…”

Who I this suspicious group? One thing can be surely possible and that is they are an adventurer group who dropped here by chance.

The fat man looks weak but maybe a master of martial arts. In animes and mangas, ordinary people often turn out to be masters.

However, to guess practically….I feel like they are a group of adventures and their employer.

The fat man is giving instructions and other seem to be acting on it.

Whenever they examined the house, the lightly dressed women entered first and after she examined the house, other followed her.

The employer like man always had an armed man snuggled to him.

“When it comes to this, how about merchant and escorts?”

It seems they have large backpacks on them.

If so, it could be reasonable to assume that they stopped here by chance while traveling to investigate the village as it was destroyed.

When you look at their faces, they look good people. Before entering the house, they join their hands and pray, hence they really might not be bad.

Some may think of this as an act but they don’t know that I am looking(peeping 😂) at them. There is no need for them to do an act in a place and situation where no one else can see them.

“Wouldn’t it be better to tell Gams and others about this via the oracle. But if do that they I won’t be able to contact them about danger in case of an emergency.”

How about activating the oracle, if they seem bad……not a bad idea.

…I should write the lines beforehand so the oracle me can be activated immediately.

It will not be executed unless I press “Enter”

Let’s wait in this state.

I am becoming nervous as the distances between both the groups. Both of them have not yet noticed eachother’s presence.

“This is the village where I lived. Rodis, should we go on ahead?”

Murus stops at the village entrance and questioned Rodis.

The villagers corpses have been buried and the monster corpses have been disposed of but they might be wondering if they should show this abandoned village to others. Some body parts might be still lying around.

“You don’t need to worry. It might be a tough path for Carol but it’s inevitable if you live in this world.”

“Yes… someday, we may come across something worse…..”

The world beyond that screen is different from the peaceful Japan. It’s not a surprise that the parents don’t want to show such sights to the childrens.

But world of Village for Fate is cruel. If they don’t get used to such kind of situations then they might become scared and hesitant in emergency situations and that could be life threatening.

“Carol is a strong child. She will be fine….”

She answered while holding down her trembling hand tightly.

After Gams holds her hand, she feels relived.

I was little worried when looking over to Chem. I thought that maybe she would not be jealous in this situation and look at then with a gentle eyes.

…..I assumed….She was holding the Bible in her hands so tight, that I could clearly hear some sounds. [1]

I put my finger on the key as everyone went into the village.

Gams’ group is on the south while the suspicious group is in the Northeast. Both are moving toward the centre of the village.

Soon they will be close enough to see eachother.

“Chem. Hide behind that house. Murus!”

“I already know. Looks like someone is here. Monsters or bandits? Either way, I can’t let them get away for free.”

Gams’ pulls out his sword with caution. Murus also takes out her now.

Chem without saying another word took the horse behind a house with Rodis and others.

The other side also noticed them at the same time. The remains people appear soon.

“What are you doing in my village!……Dordord?!”

“Oops, Murus please put down your weapons. It’s safe.”

Murus puts back her bow after seeing the fat middle aged man.

Gams’ and other relaxed their hands on her weapons as well.

In a bouncy and sloshy way, the man called Dordord approached Murus and squeezed her hands.

“I was worried since the village has been destroyed like this. It’s really good that Murus is safe.”

Dordord wipes tears around his eyes.

You can understand by the exchange till now that he is a good person unless this all is an act.

“I am the only one left…. Please rest assured. This is Dordord, a peddler who often came to my village for business.”

After hearing the story, Chem and others cane out from behind the abandoned house.

So after all he was a merchant? Strangely my prediction was right.

The encounter with the peddler has saved us. The skins and bones obtained from the monsters can be sold as raw materials and even the pre in the cave can be sold.

And if he came to the village then he must have some goods. This is perfect for the winter.

“Then Should I delete the oracle?”

If I sent it by mistake then it would be embarrassing so I deleted everything.

Looking for top to bottom. The merchant Dordord seems to have mild and fragile character.

“Everyone must have struggled. It’s about the matter we just mentioned, we will be glad to buy it. How about visiting the cave with us as soon as we finish our work?”

“Of course. Thanks for your help.”

Rodis also seems to be a merchant so he talked and negotiated everything.

From now on, he will bring back supplies to the villagers and in return we will provide him with raw material of monsters and ores.

It seems that he will buy anything which is left untouched here. He is looking for essential items for sale with permission from Murus.

The remaining carriage was somehow damaged but still we used the safe parts from other carriages to repair it.

So now there is something which I am thinking for a while.

Maybe a miracle has been running since Murus has joined the village.

[A peddler visits] [2]

This seems to be the result of activating that miracle. Can a miracle take three days to be executed instead of occuring immediately depending upon the content.

….I learnt something new. Let’s remember this.

All the task were over in the village after few hours.

“Please rest in Peace.”

Finally, Chen prayed in front of the graves.

Carol and her escort went to pick up the flowers and put them in front of the tombs.

Seeing everyone praying, I decided to trigger a miracle. I set the area around each grave to sunny so beams of light fell on then from the sky.

The dust in the air shimmered with sunlight as if the dead have been called to Heaven.

“It’s unscrupulous but beautiful…….”

A large drop of tear falls down from the face of Murus after witnessing this scene.
