This situation leads to every villager sending their children to the scholars to study.
I couldn't comprehend his actions.
He is probably a noble and has a lot of money so why is he here in a barren place where no one comes.
Well least other than the merchant who comes near the end of every 2-3 years?
I searched my memory and thought of many reasons he would come and then I couldn't find a proper reason so I decided to have less contact with this man.
I carefully looked at the man's face, he had white-toned skin and was healthy and built with not too many muscles.
White hair with silver eyes and also he was wearing glasses.
He was wearing commoner clothes but even these clothes could never hide his glamorous looks.
I am probably sure he is some kind of playboy after my careful analysis and it is not because I am jealous of his looks, certainly not!
As I was looking at him he suddenly turned his head towards me and I suddenly ducked to hide among the crowd.
My heart was beating really fast and I waited until he started his lecture to look back at him.
It might look suspicious if I didn't look at him and neither spoke to anyone so I acted like I was friends with the guy beside me who was probably confused by my actions.
It looks like superhumans in this world can even feel when someone looks at them, which is kind of 6th sense.
All of this thinking I had done in less than 2 minutes and the scholar was probably tired after not finding me so he started the lecture.
"The place we live in is called the sun continent which has ten thousand years of history, this continent of ours has diverse races like elves, dwarfs, fairies, and many more but the race that stands at the top is the human race."
"The entire continent has been dominated by the sun empire for a hundred years ago and it has successfully protected our continent from beasts and dark races that arrive from the dark continent."
"The entire sun continent is surrounded by the dark continent and the cruel and ruthless dark beasts have hunted our human race for countless years but this changed when a hero rose hundred years ago called D'ar Arcane."
"He alone led the human race to greatness and created the greatest empire in history called sun empire. He also pushed the dark races back to the dark continent and even nearly exterminated them."
"He is the greatest hero to ever exist and is the saviour of humanity. The Sun Empire has protected all of us for nearly a hundred years and will continue to protect us."
The scholar had stars in his eyes when he spoke of the so-called humanity's greatest saviour but I had doubts about this story as history is always written by winners.
I mean why could this great hero be able to do things that no one was able to, I don't mean that a person can't grow strong enough to push the ruthless races like dark races.
But what I doubt is that people were able to unite so easily, humans are creatures that will have internal strives even when they are about to be destroyed.
So how did he do something like this? And I don't know why something about this story felt so familiar to me!
"The dark races are creatures who are a bunch of savages who only know to kill, the only reason they don't enter the sun empire is because of the enchantment that is put at every border of the continent"
Oh, our village is at the border north of the continent according to the old man so does that mean the dark forest is the entrance to the dark continent.
It also explained the fence with strange markings on it which are probably enchantments.
Our village is a dangerous place if what he is saying is true, I mean how long could a hundred-year-old enchantment last?
Wait if enchantment can be created then they can also be repaired so there is a chance that this scholar has come for maintenance of the enchantment.
"To protect our continent and our family the royal family has put a lot of expenditure on its military which has led to all of you people being able to live in peace, countless warriors have died protecting our continent so the citizens will able to live in peace"
Other than his brainwashing propaganda I have acquired some important knowledge.
I was really curious why the commoners have so little money and why their living standards are so low.
I might not have seen other places but I heard from the old man who was kind of a small time adventure in his young days.
It might be due to excess and heavy expenditure in the military the common people are living in poverty and I doubt people who can actually do something about this like nobles would even care about us.
"The great D'ar had also created a facility to nurture and nourish young talents all over the continent irrespective of their birth origins to fight the dark races, the graduates from this university are all genius superhumans who are very precious to our continent."
"They are also given some autonomous power to find the traitors in our empire and punish them. The traitors who join hands with dark races irrespective of the reasons are all slaughtered. The great academy that nurtures new pillars for our empire is Arcane Academy"
Some children became scared hearing the words of the scholar while others became excited and dreamed of joining the academy to become heroes but I was the only one with a pale face.
I had finally realized the world I was in, It was the world of one of the otome games my sister forced me to play, and it was the trashiest one of the bunch.
Its name was 'When They Sleep', if you consider just the romantic aspect of it then it was alright but the problem was that every character in it dies.
The world of 'When They Sleep" is a game in which no matter who you choose or what decision you make everyone still dies.
In a nutshell, it's a doomsday world where every creature be it human, dark races, fairies, and even angels are slaughtered.
