Rus did not expect that there were so many people on this street still alive and seeing the expressions of these people is sure that they will not be friendly with him, much less the old woman who has just spoken.Even so, Rus needs answers to make sure it is still possible to go to Rushu"s mountain of flowers and another important thing is to see if the people who attacked the tribe are so heinous that they can kill him. With an expression of reluctance, he asks in a calm voice "h.e.l.lo... I don"t want to hurt anyone here, I just want to know what"s going on in the tribe" Although he tried to ask in a friendly tone of voice, he still couldn"t help clenching his teeth angrily at the thought of talking amicably with these people who were insulting him before.
"We have nothing to tell you!" A woman in the crowd suddenly shouts, as if the others were waiting for the moment when one of them said something, everyone starts shouting and saying nasty things to Rus.
The old woman has a malicious smile on her face, she looks at the mixed-race boy as if she were seeing an idiot "Are you really thinking that we will tell you something? You? An unpleasant mixed race that is the son of that sc.u.m who was easily killed by the new chief of the tribe?" The old woman"s voice becomes darker as she keeps talking "It is for your father that the tribe is in this state! Why did he have to marry a woman from one of the races of the dragon G.o.d of light!?" The old woman"s eyes have red veins, her breathing is heavy and her body trembles slightly "Now that he died, that barbarian took control of the tribe and thanks to your father, our children and husbands who did not want to go to war are now cursed slaves without their own mind that will be used as cannon fodder. Even some already they are dead! dead!!" As soon as the old woman finishes speaking, she begins to cry uncontrollably.

Even with the active effects of the pill, Rus had so much anger growing inside him that he was about to attack that old woman who was still insulting his father, but as soon as Rus heard that their husbands and children were turned into slaves to go to war, their anger died down a bit. He sees that all women in the crowd have tears in their eyes, sobbing silently as they look at him with unlimited anger.
"I understand... I will not bother any of you and I will not approach this street either" Rus turns and walks away from that street. He is a little in conflict about what to think about the tribe, but those doubts only last a few seconds because he quickly organizes his thoughts and clarifies in his mind that although those people are suffering for the new chief of the tribe, he is not to blame for anything, another reason is that he will not yet easily forget the appearance of hatred and disgust of everyone and the fact that, although his father kept the tribe for many years in a moment of peace where it was very rare that the people from the tribe were injured or killed, they still insult him for dying in an ambush where he had to fight hundreds of enemies alone with his mother and some of the most loyal men who were with him until his death.
While Rus runs and reaffirms his will to take revenge on the tribe. The figure of a person appears in front of him, which causes him to stop or else he would hit that person with his body! Rus looks at the appearance of that person, is a man with a brown armor and a spear on his back. The man has short hair, a square face with small eyes that look at him with a serious look. Rus immediately realizes that this man is a guard! Although it is one that he has never seen.
"What are you doing running around these places and not preparing to go to war with the rest of the boys and men?" The man says aloud while he speaks, he is one of the few guards who were not a.s.signed to go to war, he was looking calmly around him when he sees this boy run from afar at high speed.
Rus has a dazed look, thinks he has very bad luck when he meets a guard after hearing what that old woman said. It is not difficult for he to deduce from the old woman"s words that the tribe goes to war and he doesn"t believe that the Kellai tribe goes against anyone but the Clafall tribe. Rus is not going to lie that he is a little nervous since he heard that they have even made slaves to the inhabitants of the tribe just for refusing to go to war and it seems that these people do not forgive even the children! Although thanks to the pill, his heart beats at a normal rate.
"Wait, I think I"ve seen you somewhere..." The man was thinking if he should take this guy with the elite warriors or not, but seeing this boy"s face, he remembers a certain man with a proud expression and a sure look that used to be the most important person in the tribe. That person was the chief of the Kellai tribe!
Among the wooden buildings without a single person around, with the cold wind that grazes the skin of Rus, he was thinking about what to do to prevent this guard from taking him to where the men who became slaves are, but he never expected this man to recognize him, although Rus had never seen him.
"You are the son of the former chief of the tribe, right? Your facial features are very similar, triangular face, straight nose and big eyes" He greatly admired the former chief of the tribe, he really regrets that the former chief of the tribe has died to hands of the current chief of the tribe. He had heard that his mixed-race son had not died, if not that he was sent to live in one of the most remote places of the tribe and forced to look for red stones every day in the mountain of flowers Rushu. Although he does not feel hate for this boy, even if he is of mixed race, he still does not understand how it is possible that the current chief of the tribe has not killed this boy...
"You"re right, is there a problem with that?" Rus responds with a frown, he did not expect that going out to look for information about what happened in the tribe would end up with him meeting people who insulted him and his father. Anyway, Rus is somewhat confused about why this guard describes his facial features and compares them to his father"s.
The guard observes the suspicious expression of Rus, understands that this boy has been through a lot and does not trust the guards of the tribe "I do not try to tell you anything bad, many years ago your father was the most admired person, well, even I admire a lot" He smiles when he says this, but his expression changes and he says with a serious tone of voice "You should not let any other guard see you, these days will be very bad for the tribe and if they see you I a.s.sure you they will send you to partic.i.p.ate in the war like cannon fodder"
Rus is surprised that this guard is treating him so well, there is a part of him that believes that this man is only making fun of him, although there is also another part of him that thinks that this man does not hate him because he has great respect for his father. Rus for the moment will trust this guard, anyway he is sure that with his current skills he can escape from this man at any time "What happened in the tribe? What enemy will the tribe face? Why did the men and boys of the tribe become slaves?" Rus quickly realizes that he is asking too many questions at once, so he smiles with some shame.
"First of all, my name is Khan, what"s your name?" Hedhal asks with a friendly smile.
"Ah! My name is Rus..." He is even more ashamed to see how this man who seems to be 30 years old is much more mature than he is to the point of presenting himself politely before continuing to speak.
Hedhal nods and continues speaking: "The chief of the tribe, Krum, ordered the elite warriors to use the men who were still young and the children for the next 2-day war against the Clafall tribe. The problem was that the Elite warriors sent guards to recruit them, but almost no man agreed to go to war, much less send their children to die or be used as cannon fodder" Hedhal changes his expression to anger, continues to speak but out loud "When the leader of the elite warriors, Onsul, realized this, he sent the elite warriors to kill some of those who continued to refuse to go to the war and put a magical seal of slavery on others..."
"They have no mercy, they don"t care about gender or age, they just follow orders" Hedhal stops talking for a few seconds, looks at Rus with regret "Try to hide, if you"re lucky, this whole war can end in a couple of days"
Rus looks into Hedhal"s eyes, he has previously doubted whether he should take revenge on everyone in the tribe, he still wants revenge on the tribe, but this time he decided not to kill everyone or at least try to avoid killing people like this man "I understand , I will find a place to hide until this war ends" Rus plans to stay at home and occasionally go to the mountain to collect the stones he hid at the top.
"Perfect, oh, before you go, if possible, I would like you to visit a woman, she is the wife of a friend of mine who died a few years ago, her son was taken to war by the person who gave the order to kill and enslave all those who oppose the war, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d of Onsul.Maybe you can help her calm down, you don"t have to worry about being treated badly because you are of mixed race or because you are the son of the former chief of the tribe, she is a very kind woman who would never hate someone just for its race" Hedhal asks Rus for this favor with an apologetic expression, he would like to go to comfort her, but he promised his friend that he would never approach his wife anymore than necessary.
Rus doubts for a moment, but in the end he accepts, since it has been a long time since I talked to someone in such a friendly way and he thinks it would be nice to meet someone who does not discriminate against someone"s race.
Hedhal tells Rus where that woman"s house is and also her name. Her name is Celelin, a woman with very attractive facial features, oval face, slanted eyes, thick lips and long hair. Hedhal did not mention his hair and eye color, but it is obvious that they are black.
Rus squeezes the bag of mana stones of blood and runs at full speed to where the woman"s house is. This time he is focusing all his attention on his surroundings as he moves to prevent anyone from seeing him and, of course, he will take advantage of the war to take all the stones he can.
