Despite the unexpected arrival of knights and slaves from the Kingdom of Migga, the goal of how the village must proceed remained the same.
About ten people from the village were to head out to explore the area around the village. This is the minimum number of people, since we do not know what will happen inside the village, partly because of the presence of people who came from the outside. However, since we did not know what would happen outside, I decided to ask Wanon to go with them on the search.
Wanon, can you do that for me?"
Guruguru.
Searching might be dangerous. Even Wanon, a griffon, could be in danger. But I decided to ask Wanon to go with me, hoping that the people I cared about who were going on the search would not die.
I told Wanon that I was sorry to leave Leon and Ywin for a while, but he, Leon, and Ywin told me not to worry about it.
They also told me that some of the spirits that were resurrected in the village when the spirit tree was restored, but who had not yet made a contract with anyone, would also go with me.
Among the members who were going out to search were Sinorn, a wolf beastman, Nilsi, a cat beastman, Ondai and Zailalu, both elves, and about ten others, including some ethnic people.
Mr. Nilsi had joined the search team, saying that he wanted to help his friends who were still in the Migga Kingdom.
We don't know if there is a place where people live. But the search was to find it and to get money. A search that we don't know how it will turn out. To be ...... honest, I am very anxious because I don't want anything to happen to everyone. But this is a necessary step for our village.
Take care, everyone. I want you all to come home.
I don't want you to worry too much," he said. As soon as I see that it is dangerous, I will pull out.
Don't worry so much.
Both Sinorn and Nilsi laughed at my words and told me not to worry.
Once you go out to explore, you will probably not come back immediately. It would take time to explore unknown places. I was somewhat sad to think that I might not be able to see Mr. Sinorn and the others again until they came back.
But I can't stop for the sake of it. So I decided to just wish for everyone's safety. I believe that since I am a child of God, it will have at least a small effect.
The purpose of the search is to get money, so it seems that I will be bringing clothes and other items made in the village to sell. I don't know how much I can sell them for, but since this is my first exploration, I have them in my possession.
I ask you not to give out any information about this village, even if you find a human village. If it is known that Lelunda, the godchild, is here, it could get complicated. If possible, it would be best if the village grows without being known about it."
Mr. Lan cautioned those going out to explore. If they find a human village, he asked them to make sure that as little as possible is known about this village.
If there is a human village ahead, we don't know if it is a normal place for beasts and elves to live," he said. Please try not to let them know about our race.
Different places have different cultures.
The beastmen and elves who were reduced to slaves in the Migga Kingdom are not sure how they are treated in the human villages where they found them. Mr. Lan also knew about the neighboring countries of Fairytorov Kingdom, but not about the other countries.
Even if a human village is found, if it is a place where only humans live, it will be difficult for the beastmen and elves to move around. It might be conspicuous that the people have tattoos on their faces.
Even so, there was no one else in the village who could go exploring. Even Mr. Lan was too busy to go exploring because of the knights and slaves who visited the village.
Everyone is going to a place where they don't know what is normal.
And please don't overdo it. I will be sad if you all die. Nothing is heavier than life. If you feel it is dangerous, please come back to us no matter what.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Mr. Lan's words, for nothing is heavier than life.
Then, with everyone in the village looking on, Mr. Sinorn and the others turned their backs to us and headed off on their search. We kept looking at them until we could no longer see their backs.
Please pray for their safe return.
May we welcome them back alive, safe, and with smiles on our faces.
I kept my eyes fixed on their backs and kept saying that prayer.
--The girl and the people who go out to explore.
(There are people who are going on a search from the village of the girl who is a child of God. (There are people who are going on a search from the village of the godchild girl, and because they do not know what awaits them ahead, the godchild prayed.)
