Chapter 297: The Closing of Negotiations
297 – The Closing of Negotiations
“―It seems the previous dragon-god passed away in the abyss nest. ”
After tying up Nagrom, the discussions proceeded favourably.
Bella relayed everything I told her pretty much as-is. They seem to have always been a tight-knit community, so they all listened in serious silence.
“Then, so, up to now, why have we…”
“…Nagrom used our anger to incite us. ”
Once Bella’s explanation has finished, they start intermittently sobbing as they talk.
“Still, if Hibi had told us all this when the village fractured, then…”
Someone grumbles their resentment. But Hibi wouldn’t have been able to do that. The split happened right at the peak of the turmoil over the manticore. If the support for the sacrifice order were to crumble, then it would have ended up worse then the village just splitting in two.
