When I returned at the base camp the whole area was under flames.
Kark Village, small crop fields and the Forest around it..,everything was ablaze...
Standing on the roadside peoples were screaming and crying for their love ones and for their homes being burned in the flames..
The whole scene looked very sad and depressing..
But such thoughts will not help anyone...
Being the only one with extraordinary strength and flame aura Sir.Jerad was taking charge of the situation and was rescuing the peoples trapped inside the burning village..
He was searching every corners and bringing back survivers...
The escort knights who were just normal soldiers without any Aura Cultivation strength were responsible for treating the wounded and creating order among the hundreds or so villagers...
Even Emma who was just a weak 21 years old maid was taking care of the wounded with concern..
Their efforts were greatly decreasing the casualty count and creating proper order around the people's...
Some villagers who had regain their senses were also helping in the process
Order was slowly emerging on the field as I walked with my colossal Titan boby..
I looked at the flames that lighted the whole night sky...
For just killing me the assassins had harmed so many peoples..
Was money really important then someone's life ?..
Were they really so desperate that they do not mind killing some normal people's...
Was strengths the only thing that matters in this world ?
Was this the right way.. that life should be treated ?
Sigh...
My mind was in a state of turmoil as I reached the base camp with my Titan body..
Everyone were sacred stiff under my mighty presence..
Even though they saw me save their lives from the rain of fireball.., the villagers were a little sceptical towards a monster so large..
Apart from the escort knights and Emma...no one else saw me transform in to Stone Titan...
Their worries was all natural..
Under their worried gaze I cancelled my Miracle and reverted back to my original self...
After chasing away the assassins..,Stone Titan was not needed anymore..
So I canceled my ability..
I know everyone will be thinking that I should somehow put out the flame but before anyone could judge me I should inform that it was impossible for me without destroying the whole village in the process...
The flames made by a Magicians spell was different from any other normal fire..
They consume Mana energy to keep on burning... To put out such flames their is only two choices..
First. Use mana made water or pyromancy to extinguished the flame.
Second. Wait for the time duration until the spell gets canceled out.
In this world every spell can only exist for a certain duration without the continuous supply of mana from a mage...
And for this reason I was totally helpless against the flames...
In my group.., other then Sir.Jerad who was a Aura cultivator..,no one else had any magical ability.
As for Aura ?
It can't be used to extinguished the flame as Aura users don't use nature energy from the outside.., they use some type of unique power residing inside ones soul...
They were not suited for the task....
Sigh..
Back to the topic..
The villagers were shocked by seeing me change from the large monster to a handsome young man.., but I ignored them and walked towards the area were my peoples were standing dazed by my Miracle...
" Y..yyoung..M..mas.ter--"
" What Emma ?? are you scared of me now ? " I asked with a smirk on my face..
" N..no.oo it..s no..tt l..ike tha--"
" Ohh how sad...Sir.Jerad how am I going to survive without Emma's cooking Sob..Sob.." I continue to tease the little maid..
Hearing my conversation with Emma..,everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud..
After dealing with such mind blowing things one after the others..,they were finally feeling relax hearing the silly conversation...
" Young Master !!!" Emma snapped out and walked away with a cute pout...
" Sir.Jerad report me about the casuality and the over all situation "
Break time was over..., I send away the escort to deal with the villagers and asked Sir.Jerad...
" Thanks to your help young master the casualty was kept to minimum.., The village has a total population of 300 personals and out of them.., 20 peoples died under the first attack while the other 5 peoples died from severe burn..., other then that their are some peoples with some non-lithal burn.., so over all young master everything is under control and we are waiting for the flames to calm down.." He answered..
Sir.Jerad was a very experience knight and he knew the casualty count could have been far greater then this minimum damage..and for that he was very respectful towards Oliver...
" Hmm..25 peoples died in these flames " I said while looking at the burning scene...
" Yes Young master "
" Find their body and give them proper funeral..and give their family 20 gold coins as compensation..." It was the method I learned from my old world when the government provided these benefits...
The assassins have come to kill me so naturally I have to take responsibility for the deceased families..
" Yes Young Master " He said while bowing his towards me...
Sir.Jerad was impress by my generosity... you have to know that Olivers offer was very big for a commoner..
10 Chopper Coin = 1 Silver Coin..
100 Silver Coin = 1 Gold Coin..
1000 Gold Coin = 1 Platinum Slab..
This was the order of monetary in this world..
For a commoner 50 Silver coins were enough to last for a whole year.., and right now I was give them 40 years of savings in one go..
" And give 10 Gold coins to villagers who lost their home..,including the deceased families...."
" Yes young master "
This should wrap up everything for the night...
I send back Sir.Jerad to do his own work and I went towards my personal carriage..
My team managed to save all the steeds and the three carriages along with the task of helping others..
Their was some small burn mark on the poor horses but other then taht everything looked okey...
I patted the black horse that pulled my carriage and then went inside the carriage..
Finally after such a long day of hard work I can rest my body inside my own carriage...
Seating on the couch I could feel the fatigue that I accumulated through out the day was coming back to me...
My eyelids became heavy and soon I fall asleep inside the carriage..
