Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Within a few days, as Gizel had intended, an Abel search party was formed from the Marren village .

Even with the strengthened power of the chief, who had been deposed by the Karlco family, the movement for the incense-smoke leaf could not be quelled at last .

The number of people who use the incense-smoke leaf was increasing day by day, and the demonstrations were becoming more and more violent, to the point where there were even rumors of hunting and ritual strikes .

The clan chief feared that the unexpected situation would lead to confrontation within the village, so he had no choice but to take immediate action .

However, according to the rules of the village, he was forbidden to leave the village except at the request of the royal family or in the event of a threat to the village .

If the chief was leading the way in breaking the law, it would lead to a breakdown in discipline .

Therefore, the chief has decided to bring back those who have broken the law in order to strengthen the ties between the village and at the same time reaffirm the importance of the law .

In fact, Abel is already treated as an important figure in the settlement and has a strong influence .

This is the kind of public stance that they cannot let such a person breaking of the law go unchecked .

The chief deeply reminded those around him that it was never for the sake of the incense-smoke leaf .

No one paid any attention to this public stance, but the chief would caution them every time they said the word “incense-smoke leaf”, so everyone was concerned about Abel, and everyone would choke out anyone who said the word “incense-smoke leaf “ .

Even though Abel was an important figure in the village, he tended to be a recluse and didn’t know many acquaintances .

To the majority of the village, he was treated as a very good incense-smoke leaf making machine .

“At any rate, we’ll bring back the incense-smoke leaf, I mean, Abel who left the settlement!”

” ” “Oooohhhhh! !” ” “

…… For some reason, the majority of the Abel search team members were regular users of the incense-smoke leaf .

There were seventeen members . There were a total of thirteen adults, ten males and three females, and four children’s quota who hadn’t reached adulthood .

The adults were all incense-smoke leaf users .

Abel’s father Zelrut, who had been promoted as the most important person in charge, and a few patriarchs from other families also mixed in .

If the patriarch is away from home for a long time, the remaining family members are likely to have a hard time, but in the Marren family, where there are many incestuous marriages, there is a strong connection of kins.h.i.+p lines, and they were able to cover that area well .

The four members of the Abel search party’s child quota were Gizel, s.h.i.+bi, Firo, and Lil .

Lil is a descendant of the Liefel family, which has practiced divination for generations in the Marren village, averting disasters and a.s.sisting the chief’s in making arrangements .

Lil was a tremendous indoor person and hated the idea of being taken away, but she was forcibly taken away, believing that the Liefel family’s divination would surely help with the search .

Lil was only thirteen years old, and the power of the Liefel family was not that strong .

However, they couldn’t keep the head of the family away from the village, and they had to draw a poor lottery for the reason that they were in just the right position .

Gizel looked at the gathered faces, hugging s.h.i.+m’s grimoire and smiling happily .

“…… When I meet my brother, I have to talk to him a lot, lot more, for the time I’ve missed him so far…… My brother can be a bit of a coward, so I have to first tell him that I’m not angry with him, and then I have to slowly clear up the misunderstanding . Then, and then, and then…… oh, I want to see my brother’s face as soon as possible……”

Gizel closed her eyes, her cheeks blus.h.i.+ng as she pictured the reunion with her beloved brother behind her eyelids .

It was clear to all of us that there was no telling what she might do if things got any worse .

s.h.i.+bi prayed deeply to the spirits of his ancestors that Abel would be found as soon as possible .

“City, huh…… Somehow, I feel like I’m going to be embarra.s.sed, I hate it . Should I go with a necklace, a coat, or something flashy to dress up for the occasion?”

One of the adults of the Abel search team members spilled out in a whisper .

The man beside him snickered in response .

“You’ll be more embarra.s.sed if you elaborate in a strange way . I’ve read in the literature that simple clothing is preferred outside of the village and that most men are almost entirely naked . Dressing up every day as if for some ritual is normal, etc . , is just one of the city’s images . It’s a provincial idea . ”

“Isn’t that for a fisherman? I’m sure Norcs wouldn’t dress like that . I’ll have to hurry up and borrow some decorations from my relatives . ”

It was as if they were going on a group trip .

As soon as possible, a large difference in consciousness had begun to emerge among the Abel search team members, and this would later lead to a really shameful altercation that would cause a significant time loss, but the current Gizel had no way of knowing that .

“…………”

Firo looked at the lack of cohesion of everyone and let out a sigh like she was exhausted .

Last night, her grandfather, the chief, said, “I’m sorry for everyone, but I’m going with you”, and it took all my relatives to persuade him to stop .

The chief had already decided in his mind that he was going to be there, and it took them a long time to stop him .

Firo looked up at the sky and then softly looked at Gizel .

If Abel was brought back, nine out of ten, the wedding with Gizel would take place sooner than later .

She had a hard-to-digest feeling about that, and she shook her head and tried to put it out of her mind .

I wanted to see him right away, but on the other hand, I didn’t want Gizel to find him, and I had mixed feelings about it .

Less than an hour later, the Abel search party left for the city of Lomarn, where Abel was expected to be headed .

“I’m sure my brother misses Gizel, too! It must be so!”

Some long for it,

“…… ye-, yeah, I guess so . ”

Some are worried,

“I don’t know if this is too conspicuous……”

Some have an urban complex,

“………………”

Some had taken the pure evil to their hearts and set out on a journey to the outside world .

…… Incidentally, it was again the patriarch of the Karlco family, Norman, who had instigated the militant protests and spread rumors of an unlikely strike .

This, fortunately, was a fleeting fantasy that he would pull the legwork of the patriarchal family to provoke a blunder and create an opening to forcefully screw the Karlco family into power this time .

As a father figure, Noswell was indeed dismayed and saddened by Norman’s bad behavior in this case… or even his last fart .

Norman was to be locked up in a cave at a remote part of the village for a while until his head cooled down .
