Chapter 10

"Comoros, why did you come back alone? Where's Dax and the others?" The one standing guard at the village gate was a rather gallant-looking 30-year-old uncle, if this was in Wang Yuan's previous world, with his handsome face and bulging muscles, this uncle could easily charm a large number of young girls.

Comoros looked at the man in front of him. He knew who he was, he was called Jacob, the captain of the village guards, as well as an official of the village. He was quite popular in the village, apparently already appointed as the next village head. He was also very good friends with Dax, who was also a member of the hunting squad.

With that in mind, Comoros coldly smirked: "Dax, hah, he offended the great Negri and has already died a painful death from the plague"

"Comoros, what nonsense are you spouting, please don't joke around" Jacob squinted his eyes and spoke in a very serious tone.

"How am I joking?" Comoros forcefully replied: "Dax disregarded the taboo and killed a messenger of the great Negri, causing the plague to spread. If I hadn't prayed to Negri in time for forgiveness, the plague would have already spread throughout the village!"

"Comoros, you …" Jacob still wanted to say something, but Comoros was already shouting at the villagers who had gathered here because of their argument.

"Enough, don't spout nonsense if you don't have any proof!" Jacob cut off Comoros's explanation. He couldn't accept that his good friend had died for no reason at all, and he wouldn't believe the so-called Negri.

Comoros looked at the furious Jacob and gulped. The other party was tall and sturdy, at least a head taller than himself. In the past, if the other party angrily stood in front of him like this, he probably wouldn't even be able to say a single word.

But it was different now, the one standing behind him was the great Negri. Thinking about Negri's various miracles, Comoros straightened his back and respectfully shouted: "Proof, please present the two esteemed Divine Envoys"

"Not bad" Standing at a distance, Wang Yuan was quite satisfied with Comoros' performance, so he controlled the two crows to fly over from the branches, circled above them and stared at the villagers with their pitch-black eyes.

"These two are the messengers of the great Negri. I'm here to announce their decree. Jacques, if you dare to stop us, it doesn't matter if you die from the plague, but don't drag our village into it!"

Seeing the two pitch-black crows circling above them, the villagers all felt a wave of fear. Negri's Divine Name culture was deeply embedded in every aspect of their lives. If they said they believed it, that was it. If they said they didn't believe it, once it happened, they would still believe it.

And now that the two followers of Negary were hovering in the sky, combined with Comoros' words, how could they not believe it? So their gazes towards Jacques were different. It was better to be safe than sorry, what if he really did attract a plague?

Jacques was also looking at the two crows, he could also feel the gazes of the villagers around him. He wanted to shoot down the two crows with his bow, but he was sure that if he tried to draw his bow, someone would definitely stop him.

"Dax's group killed the Negri believers and angered the great Negri. Originally, he wanted to unleash the plague on the village, making it so that not even a blade of grass could grow and all of the villagers would die in pain, but the great Negri spared us. However, he wanted us to offer our foreheads and help him raise new messengers"

According to the Cauchy people's custom, offering their foreheads was the same as submitting themselves to God, offering their everything.

"Comoros, are you sure you're telling the truth?" Suddenly, a voice called out. An old man with a walking stick and a smile on his face walked towards them with the support of a young girl.

"Village Head" Comoros's expression changed. If he still dared to talk back to Jacques, then he wouldn't dare to lie to the village head who held such great prestige in the village. This was a mindset that he had developed over a long period of time.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't want to offer your foreheads to Negri and help the great Negri raise messengers, then the plague will definitely descend on the village. I'm only doing this for the sake of the village, I'm telling the truth" Comoros stubbornly spoke.

"I understand, but we can't make a decision like this right away, we need to discuss this for a while" the village head smiled. The village chief said with a smile. With his life experience, he could easily tell that Comoros was exaggerating and lying in his words.

But Negri's messengers couldn't be faked, so this matter had to be treated with caution. So the village head smiled and said: "How about this, we'll have a meeting later to discuss this, how about you and the two Divine Envoys come as well?"

"This …" Comoros was a bit stunned. In the end, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and the village head was treating him so kindly that he couldn't think of any words to refute.

Wang Yuan shook his head. Comoros was still too young to be so easily intimidated. As soon as he obediently brought the crows to that so-called meeting, he would lose all of his momentum. Even if Negary really did exist, Comoros would still be completely under his thumb. At that time, the authority he would obtain would be very small, at most, he would only be able to help raise a few crows, but sacrificing them would be impossible.

So Wang Yuan made his move. Several rat-like creatures rushed out. Their skin was rotten, revealing their flesh. They let out unpleasant screams as they rushed towards the village head. Comoros suddenly felt a pain in his body, and he knelt down on the ground.

The rats jumped onto the village head's body and started to gnaw on him. With the old and weak body of the village head, he directly fell to the ground and let out miserable screams. Even if he had a high position in the village, when faced with this kind of attack, he was no different from an ordinary person. In fact, he was even weaker than an ordinary person.

"Grandpa! Quickly come and help! " The girl next to him hurriedly went to help, but she cried out in pain and pulled back her hand. There was a bright red wound on her hand, so she shouted to the people next to her.

"Don't go over!" Comoros lay on the ground and shouted in pain, "Those Nars all have Negri's curse on them. Once bitten, you'll be infected. The village head's words angered the great Negri, so he was punished. If you go and help, you'll only continue to anger Negri."

Seeing the once dignified village head die so miserably in front of him, Comoros completely understood. In front of the great Negri, the village head was insignificant.

The people who were about to help immediately stopped and distanced themselves from the village head and the bitten girl.

"Initial effect achieved!" Wang Yuan said with a smile. Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan. After the rats were infected with the germs, they had no resistance against Wang Yuan's thoughts. Unlike the crows, they were single-use items, and would probably die in half a day.

However, this was already enough. After establishing his prestige, there probably wouldn't be many people in the village who would dare to resist him, except for Jacob.
