Chapter 17: Stray Wyvern
A few days after my meeting with Sirica and Hephaestus, I decided to add statues of them at Phelena's temple. Of course, I had to rebuild certain parts to make it bigger, which was the part that took the longest.
Once that was done, I sculpted each of their statues in two seconds. Again, they looked exactly the way I saw them in that ethereal plain.
I noticed the effects of my <Master Craftsman> title. After all that work, I felt like I hadn't spent much MP at all. I could have kept going the entire day if I needed to.
As I took a break in the steps of the temple, a townsperson approached me. He seemed like he was in a hurry and told me that some people from Guano Village had come here to look for refuge.
As he left to look for Jackson, who was in the town hall, I went over to the town gates where all these people from another village had gathered.
Guano Village was the closest village to our town from the south-west. I had heard it was mostly a farming village that produced tons of wheat and some other vegetables, but now we had some of their people gathered at our gates.
When I asked about what happened, the guy who seemed to be the one leading all of the villagers ignored my question.
'I understand that telling a random 14-year-old kid about your problems may not seem like a good idea, but come on, man!' I thought.
One of the guards from the town must have noticed the exchange and approached me to tell me what had happened.
Apparently, the 22 people who had arrived at the gates were all farmers from Guano Village who escaped when a wyvern attacked them.
They said it came out of nowhere one day and started killing their cattle, along with burning their fields, so most of the people that had arrived didn't even have time to pick up their stuff when they escaped.
