Lore About Crows.

"SHIT!!!" Alex immediately appeared in front of her and destroyed his attack instantly.

"GAHHHHH!!!" Mrs. Eleanor appeared extremely scared and rushed away from that place.

The attack destroyed almost half of the forest just by this.

"Damn... that was strong..." Alex shook his hands; it was his energy, so he was able to weaken it a little bit. If not, he would be dead right now.

After the shockwave dissipated, Mrs. Eleanor and Alex looked at each other.

"Kid?" Mrs. Eleanor commented.

"Woman?" Alex commented.

"FUCK!!!" Alex managed to lock in that he was exposed; he wanted to slap himself right now. How stupid could he be?

He decided to run away; even if she said anything, not many would believe her.

"PLEASE STOP!!!" Eleanor yelled out and rushed to block his way. This move on her part was extremely brave, and she felt actual fear when she did this. Who knew if this Senior was a bloodthirsty maniac that killed everything? That was possible from the bodies he left behind and she followed them.

"I know you..." Eleanor said this with shock. Normally she would not pay attention to any of these peasants in the village, but one man took her eyes away; he was standing fearlessly when the notion about the Calamity was announced.

"Damn... alright, you found me. Now get out of my way." Alex gritted his teeth and spat on the ground.

"Kid... do you think you can talk to me that way?" Eleanor said this instantly, and her face became distorted.

"What the fuck?" Alex raised his eyebrows. What the hell just happened?

"You are going to be my slave, I decided!!!" Eleanor pulled her hand toward Alex.

It was like she was expecting him to kiss it and bow down.

Alex was dumbfounded, flabbergasted, stupefied...

"Are you retarded by any chance?" He asked and almost wanted to laugh.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!" Eleanor pulled her hand up and was about to use some spells, but...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Alex appeared instantly in front of her and knocked on her head.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

She flew back like a ragdoll, destroying many of the trees.

"Damn, that was some encounter; let's go now." Alex smiled and said. Who was this crazy woman? He didn't know, and he didn't care.

He jumped at a tree, but...

"SENIOR PLEEEASZSEEEE!!!"

Eleanor appeared on the ground; she yelled.

This time her face was scared, normal, and desperate.

"What is this? Is this some kind of double personality disorder? Damn, if that is true, I pity this little girl; she must have been tortured." Alex shook his head.

But he didn't care; why would he care about some random person? He jumped up.

"IF YOU DON'T LEAVE, I WILL KEEP THIS A SECRET FROM ANYONE!!!" Eleanor yelled out while gritting her teeth.

Alex stopped...

He looked back. "Little girl... I hate to be blackmailed, especially by women..." He appeared in front of her and.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Punched her in the stomach.

"AGH!!!" Eleanor felt like a thousand mountains were pushing on her stomach; it was absolutely painful.

Alex snorted and was about to leave.

"You... don't care about your family?" Eleanor said this, but then she regretted it.

Alex's face became more distorted.

BANG!!!

He took his daggers and appeared in front of Eleanor.

He put his dagger on her neck.

"I ask you to repeat that..." He said this.

"I... don't believe you will kill me..." Eleanor said this, almost pissing herself.

Alex stood there for a moment, then... he took his knife down.

"You are right; I will not... but..." Alex said this.

Eleanor was relieved at first, but then.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Alex punched her once again; this time some energy was flying out from her body.

"This is a mark; if you come close to me again, just a hundred meters... this will happen." Alex stepped in front of her and patted her shoulders.

"AAAGHHGHHGHGHHHHH!!!" Eleanor's face was disoriented, and she yelled out in pain.

Alex stepped back.

"Now tell me what you want..." All the cold attitude gone, he smiled like the good-natured kid he was.

"I... will not tell anyone... I promise..." Eleanor was truly scared now; she did something that would be extremely foolish for most people, but this is what she could do.

"I am asking---" Eleanor got disrupted.

"Nah, let's become friends, Eleanor. Tell me about yourself first." Alex chuckled and went to shake her hand, but.

Eleanor jumped behind.

She was scared that the pain would happen again.

"Oh, you don't need to worry; I suppressed it..." Alex said this.

"I see... I apologize for my demeanor, Senior; my name is Eleanor Wombeth, from the core section of the Village. I come from the eastern block of the Aristocrat family of Wombeth," Eleanor said this fully honestly without hiding anything.

She was about to continue, but...

"Cough... I apologize for disrupting you. Tell me about Core and shit like that." Alex could not use the Prehistory Book for now, and he didn't want to waste time learning in the library.

"Oh... Senior doesn't know? I see. Let me explain it for you. The Village is divided into 3 Sections: the Outer layer of the village, the Inner layer of the village, and a Core layer of the village. The Outer layer represents the first line of defense, and everyone originated from the Outer Layer. The second one is more distinct and more powerful; Inner layer people get the ability to become Magicians and pursue the path of Aether. The final one is where almost everyone powerful lives; the Core layer is the place where you go to get appraised and put into different layers. There are many things about the Core layer I can say, but they will take too much time," Eleanor explained the village system.

"Wait a minute, if the first line of defense is the Outer layer, why is everything so weak?" Alex asked.

"You see, Senior, the resources to build buildings and methods of Aether are scarce, even after so many 1000s of years. We have only explored 3000 kilometers of the forest, and the resources mainly come from there. When they get exhausted, Core layer magicians need to risk their lives to explore more. The deeper you go out from the village, the more terrifying the surroundings become: the weather becomes chaotic, the monsters become violent, mountains become distinct. Many different evil people are living in the village; the distinction gives us the ability to see who we have to pay attention to and who we have to train for us," Eleanor said this.

"I see, then why would you people make the stronghold in a place where the crows gather?" Alex asked; this sounded dumbfuck.

"Crows appear everywhere, Senior; they are at patches and follow any human that they see. One time people tried to mass evacuate from the village, but crows simply followed them. The only way they went away was when Villagers stopped and let them do what they do." Eleanor sighed.

Alex also sighed; this was confusing and weird. He would try to get into the mystery of why this was happening, and he was very interested in this.

"I see, that's it. Now tell me what you want," Alex said.
