Arzlan started to leave, there was nothing more he needed to explain. It's natural for everyone to think of himself as a monster. That's the kind of life he's currently living.
"For now what's the difference! If it's me who isn't accepted, that's how my life is!" Arzlan walked while giving a smile to nature was probably looking at him cynically.
"Wait!" Someone was blocking Arzlan.
Not someone else for him, he is a young man who has been considering Arzlan as a man who should be respected.
"Master, please don't leave us here! If we can't be led by someone like you, then we survivors won't be able to repay all of your kindness!"
The youth immediately knelt down as well then the people started arriving, they also knelt in front of Arzlan.
Mirseria became uncomfortable watching all those people kneeling in front of Arzlan who had been considered a monster by her.
"Is this a sign that the spirits in the forest have misjudged it?" Mirseria is a guardian of the forest now surprised by the attitude of the Elves, is clearly the creature that has been making them suffer is the human race.
Arzlan was silent, he was confused to these people wanted to make himself a leader even though it was very clear that all this time it was only hatred that had always been accepted by him.
"Don't you all realize that I'm the one from the same race that makes you suffer like this?" Arzlan no longer wants to be tied to other people, he prefers to be hated than to be liked.
"We know, but we also owe our lives! If you don't want to be our leader, then there's no other choice, we all will surrender to the royal side because there's no way creatures like us can avoid the death that's currently trying to find us!" The young man explained in a very loud tone.
And his tone was approved by everyone. They were thinking the same thing which was die or get a new leader.
And his tone was approved by everyone. They were thinking the same thing which was to die or get a new leader.
"Gosh! This is just getting more and more complicated!" Arzlan grumbled in annoyance, he didn't expect that providing protection to the Elves would lead to such excessive trust.
"Master, we are fine if you want to leave, as long in the future we can still be under your leadership!" said the young man in a firm tone.
Arzlan sighed. "Okay! Let's get out of here! There's no point in staying in a place if it hates us!"
Everyone lifted their heads, happy smiles on their faces. Arzlan's words indicate that they are already under his protection.
The wind suddenly blew very hard, Mirseria turned her head towards the forest trees.
"Uh… that's how it is!" Mirseria's eyes were shocked when hearing something in her ear.
When Arzlan and the others were about to climb the road they had just passed suddenly there Mirseria was already standing blocking their way.
"What do you want?" Arzlan asked in a cold tone, he was suspicious of Mierseria's appearance.
"I am sorry! For the actions of what I said earlier have offended you, also same on the spirits inhabiting the forest. They feel guilty for looking at you with one eye!" Mirseria bowed her head to Arzlan very sincerely.
Arzlan was silent then spoke, "I think what you are doing is right, because I am a being who came with darkness! If a creature like me inhabits this forest surely all the spirits will feel uncomfortable because they are getting closer to death!"
"Me and the creatures here have seen how you behave! We thought that you were a being who would do destruction like the Demon King, but we were wrong, indeed the owner of death seems to have sent you to fix this world full of misery! So I beg you to make this area your shelter!" Mirseria bowed her body.
For Mirseria, she had done a bad deed by considering Arzlan as the incarnation of the devil. The actions her took at this time were still insufficient to apologize.
"Huh… you are just like them! Alright, I'll accept your offer, then all of us here will stay and build a new civilization!"
"Okay! I Mirseria will be the being who will assist you in building that civilization!"
Arzlan nodded.
Everyone cheered happily, the words were a sign that they would stay there and start a new life.
***
Mirseria led everyone into the forest. The forest there is very quiet, a cool breeze always blows.
"I don't know why I feel chills with this forest!" said the elf girl.
Arzlan didn't feel anything, but indeed there was an energy watching them.
"Everyone, you may be wondering why this forest is blowing such a cold wind, it's a sign that the spirits are welcoming you!" Mirseria very proudly explained to everyone.
"Spirit? Are they spirits that inhabit this world? I can't understand what this girl is saying at all!" Arzlan wanted to see what kind of spirit Mirseria meant.
In a few moments, they had arrived at a fairly large area. The area is surrounded by very large trees so it is very suitable to be used as a location for village or city development.
"Master Arzlan!" Mirseria approached Arzlan. "This is a suitable area to be used as a place to build housing! So if you want to start a revolution then this is the place!"
Arzlan glanced around. "It's true that this area is good enough to serve as the starting location for the construction of a large city! However, what if in the future population will be more of those people here? Of course, the expansion of the territory will be carried out is not impossible that the spirits you are referring to will hate us all!" Arzlan really wanted to see Mirseria's reaction after hearing her words earlier.
"It's okay, because spirits are creatures that can inhabit the land. If the entire forest has been cut down it doesn't mean they don't have a place to live!"
"I see!"
"Master, you don't need to worry because the spirits and all the creatures here have accepted your existence. They will be happy to help you if needed!"
Arzlan nodded.
"Then I'll be leaving first, I'm a being who guards this territory so there's no way I should stay here!"
"Okay"
Mirseria disappeared from before everyone.
Arzlan's journey in starting a revolution has just begun.
