"So, the villagers believed that and they got rid of her with the help of a cultivator, right" Sama said.
"You think a cultivator can fight with her." Old man asked.
"Then, why did she disappeared?." Sama asked.
"I too don't know the reason for that. She disappeared suddenly." Old man said.
"Why didn't you help her at that time" Sama asked.
"We were trapped in a dungeon at that time, after we sneaked out again, she already disappeared. From that day we are coming here every year to look for her." The old man said.
" Do you know were she is now" Sama asked.
"She's in an abandoned temple in the forest. But we can't go there. Only she can come out if she wants to. There is no way we could meet her if she is not willing." The old man said.
"Why can't you go there. Even I met her once in that place, then why can't you." Sama asked.
"It was shielded and protected with her powers. Only who has power to destroy it can enter. We don't have any powers." The old man said.
"What happened to you all after leaving that place" Sama asked.
"After knowing about Helen, Master Ryan seized the place and locked them up after seizing their powers." The old man said.
"You said you are an animal right, why are you still in the form of human being." Sama asked.
"We didn't turn back into animals after seizing their powers. Our original selves were gone with their powers" the old man said.
"You must be very sad after that, right." Sama said.
"We were, but Master Ryan helped us to communicate with our friends even with this form. So we were happy." The old man said.
"Why do you come here even after knowing where Helen is hiding." Sama asked.
"To pretend that we didn't know about her whereabouts." Old man replied.
"Why? Is there anyone left or escaped from that evil people's gang, so you are hiding Helen from them." Sama asked.
"Master Ryan kept everyone in dungeon and seized every way out. They cannot escape." Old man said.
"Then!?" Sama asked.
"They are all underlings. No one knows the Mastermind behind them. If they find Helen I don't know what they will do." Old man said.
"Why don't you try talking to the villagers. You know she's not a witch, right. Maybe you can help her in this way." Sama said.
"Maybe they won't believe us. You know this is not normal, right." Old man said.
"You're right, but we can give it a try, before that we need to talk to Helen and know the actual reason behind her hiding." Sama said.
"I think only Master Ryan can talk to her about this. I don't think she listens to others." The old man said.
"So we have to persuade Master Ryan first." Sama said.
"It won't be an easy task. Master Ryan is not an easy person to persuade." Old man said.
"I know, I know that." Sama said turning her head.
"What are you doing here, come let's go to our rooms." Aria came over and said.
"Why? We are leaving already?" Sama asked.
"What! Do you want to stay here forever. Come on, let's go." Aria said.
"Ok, then, we can talk about this again. See you tomorrow." Sama said to the old man.
"What was that, what are you talking about?" Aria asked.
"Just some random things and about the rituals of this village." Sama replied.
Both said goodbye to the old man and left the place.
