[Before Sato and Erza's encounter]
The village of Avalon, which was given its name by Sato, was now growing into a town.
Ever since Sato helped the beast people make a home at Rizaha, they have been sending all kinds of help.
Like Beast warriors to help with the security, a Spider beast that helped the village in sewing numerous clothing even for Sato and the rest of the elves.
Even secretly linking Sato to a marchet, Flao, he resides in the kingdom of Tuke and is obsessed with the healing potion that Sato was producing.
The once small village now had slightly more beautiful homes, a variety of different crops, and a V stone that helps towns and villages make deals with higher businessmen.
Sato was able to accomplish all this in a span of one month, making his village one of the biggest villages able to rival a town.
Even though he had only elves and some beast people living in the village, it was still growing at a rapid pace.
One fine and early morning, when the sun was out and the breeze was calm, Sato, the Lord of the unnamed village of Rizaha received a message from the King.
Elena stood in front of Sato and handed the letter to him. She wore a black coat that covered her entire body but left a little opening to show her stomach.
Standing beside Sato were Divanchi and Yuri, while Yuri was wearing a black alluring kimono with a red flower on her hair, Divanchi was wearing tight black pants, where one of the legs was short to her thighs like her high socks, a red two-layer belt dangling around her waist which was added with a short black jacket crop top that was zipped halfway to cover the lower part of her breast and complemented with a white long coat that fell behind her.
Zeno, wearing a black military style outfit with a red scarf around his neck, took the paper from Elena and began to open it.
"When did this come in?" He asked as he slowly removed the magic seal from the paper which brought out a holographic image of a message.
Elena replied by saying, "Just today, Rishio told me a demon from the Demon capital came to deliver it,".
"I see," Sato muttered.
Divanchi moved closer to Zeno, "What does the message say... Come on, I'm curious." She uttered excitedly, rubbing her breast against his right arm carelessly.
Sato sighed, hiding his flustered face while he strongly focused on the information in front of him.
∆ Dik hun, Jira cok ik puro ernk vung
Hain riah jimoj quinoa fim fik
Gaino
Finano suonn lati wink shiji ∆
The message came out like this to Yuri and Elena who tried to read it.
But, both Sato and Divanxhi both have a magical sense which basically helps them interpret any and all languages.
∆ I am the king of Fiora Kingdom, Demon lord Jira.
I want to give a warning, your village has not been registered under my Kingdom to be given the authority of a name or a place.
Report to the Demon capital before the bed of the first week or I will consider this a crime and it will come with consequences ∆
Sato read out loud, he folded the paper back and handed it over to Elena before looking at the far end of the village.
"So Master, what are you going to do?" Divanchi asked.
"We have been doing a lot of trading lately, it's only normal the king would notice." Yuri added.
Sato faced Yuri, "Yuri, I need you to help me search the area and see if it's possible any demons are still lurking around." He requested.
"Are you afraid that they are spying?" Yuri asked.
"Yes I am," Sato responded, "I have no doubt in my mind, something must have piqued his interest, the message was more of a threat than information." He said.
Yuri smiled, "As you wish then, I'll get on with it." She uttered and instantly disappeared out of sight.
Once she was gone, Zeno turned to Elena, "The squad building the bridge over the river, tell them to put it on hold." He ordered.
Elena was a bit concerned by the thought, she wanted to leave but turned back to ask, "Lord Sato, what about the people who worked day in and night building it to where it has gotten to?" She asked.
Sato smiled back in response, "Relax it's only on hold for now, if I'm right then the Demon king was probably drawn in by the rapid growth of our little village, so we need to stop some things for now." He explained calmly while patting her head.
With a beet-red face, Elena bowed her head, "I'll be on my way then my Lord." She said before speeding away.
With a sigh, Sato turned to Divanchi who already had an extremely excited look on her face as she awaited her tasks.
'Why is she so excited?'. Sato thought to himself with an awkward chuckle, "Uhm. Divanc-" .
"Hai!" Divanchi responded before he could even finish calling her name.
Sato sighed again, "Please help supervise the junior hunters, hunting DeerHugs is still quite exhausting." He requested.
"Of course… I'll be back before you can even finish the word Dragon." Davinci smiled as she walked away.
"She's way too lively."
Looking at the sun, Sato uttered, 'Helix, how far is the Demon capital from here?'.
<<Answer… It will take a total of 2 days to arrive at the demon capital on horseback, and days on foot>>
'Two days uhn? I guess that could work, but with all these vampires roaming about lately it might prove to be a problem later'.
<<Notice… Four main villages in the area have been overtaken by Vampires over the last few weeks.
Korn
Dosha
Sand land
These are the villages that have fallen victim to their attacks>>.
'What are they up to though, I know they wanted the beast people but now that they are in hiding, are they trying to get other races involved to start some kind of war?' Sato muttered to himself.
<<I have come up with multiple possibilities that could lead to the reason for recent vampire raids.>>
'No, I don't need that, I'll ask directly from the source.' Sato said.
Looking at his palm, a white mask with the drawing of a grim reaper appeared in his hand.
"Helix." He called out, placing the mask on his face as he and slowly levitated from the ground, "Pinpoint the villages, I'd like to pay them a visit".
<<Request confirmed.>>
