Chapter 301 Darkness Falls
Before dawn, Saifenni tiptoed out of her own house and headed towards the village chief's house.
Feeling uneasy, Saifenni stood at the village chief's door. She thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind to knock on his door.
Dongdongdong——
A moment after the knock, the not-so-strong door was slowly opened with a creak.
The moment she saw the village chief, Saifenni could only bite the bullet and speak,
"Village chief, I want to ask you for a favor!"
The village chief was wearing a cloth and looked sleepy. He looked at Saifenni who came to his house at this time, obviously a little surprised.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
The village chief was a kind old man, and of course he liked Saifenni very much. He asked curiously while taking Saifenni into the room and lighting the candle.
It turned out that Saifenni's parents died early. Thanks to the help of the village chief, Saifenni could grow up safely to this age, so it was not an exaggeration for Saifenni to be half a granddaughter to him.
"Village chief."
Sefani's performance at this moment was a little shy, which seemed a little strange compared to her usual behavior.
Combined with what happened to Seifani during this period, the village chief seemed to have thought of something.
"Are you here for Dom?"
Seeing the village chief's half-smile, Seifani's face flushed. She sat on the chair, holding the corner of her clothes tightly and lowered her head, as if she didn't want the village chief to see her expression.
"Let's count it."
She didn't dare to look into the village chief's eyes, for fear that her thoughts would be seen through by the other party.
But she looked like this now, and any normal person could see what she was thinking. But the village chief didn't point it out, just laughed twice,
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Can you lend me a hundred gold coins?"
Sefani's voice became smaller and smaller, and she felt a little guilty. After all, a hundred gold coins is a huge sum of money for anyone in this village, and even the village chief may not have so much money.
She really couldn't think of a way, and the day when the magic academy recruited students was approaching, so she could only ask the village chief for help.
Hearing this number, the village chief's eyes flashed with surprise, but he remembered that it was almost time for the magic academy in the city to recruit students.
So he knew everything. It seemed that the Seifani in front of him wanted to send Dom to the magic academy.
The village chief did not agree to Seifani's request immediately, but asked curiously.
"Are you sure he has magic talent?"
At this time, Seifani was surprised. She felt that she had not yet said that her idea of borrowing money was to send Dom to the magic academy, but how could the village chief guess it?
Seeing Seifani's surprised expression, the village chief was furious and immediately raised his hand and knocked her on the forehead.
With Seifani's cry of pain, the village chief said,
"You want to hide this from me? You want so much money, what else can you do except go to the magic academy?"
Seifani laughed twice to resolve her embarrassment at the moment.
So, she began to describe Dom's magic talent incessantly, and she began to dance while talking.
Listening to Sefenni's endless narration, the village chief waved his hands.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop! Don't say anymore."
Murakami sighed, looking at Sefenni who seemed to be still talking after being interrupted.
"I can lend you these gold coins, are you sure you can take him down?"
The village chief looked at Sefenni with a strange smile on his face.
"Ah?"
Sefenni was stunned at first, her face flushed again, she lowered her head again, and didn't speak.
She just hummed in a weak mosquito voice.
Hearing this, the village chief laughed, he slowly stood up, turned around and walked to his cabinet, and took out the gold coins that he had neatly stacked.
"Here are ninety-two coins, that's all I have for now. You can figure out the rest yourself, but maybe it's enough."
Sefenni was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. She took out a cloth bag and carefully put the ninety-two gold coins in it.
"Thank you, village chief. I will definitely pay you back later!"
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Sefani was immediately sent out of the room by the village chief.
After Seifani kept thanking her, she turned around and skipped towards her room, obviously in a very good mood.
The village chief looked at Seifani's back and smiled kindly.
"What are you paying back? This money is enough for you to save for a lifetime! When you save enough, I'm afraid I won't be here anymore. I hope you can be happy."
The reason why the village chief lent Seifani this money so easily was precisely because he had found that Dom was a boy worth entrusting during the time he came to the village.
Since Seifani happened to have feelings for him, he had no children in his life, so he naturally hoped to help these young people.
"It's great to be young!"
The village chief sighed and slowly closed the door, ready to take another nap.
However, this was the darkest time before dawn.
An eye appeared in a place that no one could see. She looked at Seifani who was walking towards her house, and suddenly an idea of playing a trick came to her mind.
Then, shadow creatures began to appear around the village.
Groups of human figures condensed from the pre-dawn darkness began to walk towards the village. At the same time, thick clouds began to gather in this direction, completely blocking the rising sun.
Dom woke up from his sleep. He suddenly noticed the malice coming from outside, and Sephiny, who was supposed to be sleeping in the bed, had disappeared.
"Sephani?!"
Dom shouted anxiously, and several points of light emanated from his body. It was light magic that illuminated the surroundings.
There was no sign of Sephiny anywhere. He ran out the door. The sun that should have risen was now hiding behind thick clouds.
And for some unknown reason, auras that made Dom feel extremely uncomfortable kept coming out of places around the village, and they kept moving towards the village.
Realizing that something was wrong, Dom was just about to find Sephiny who had disappeared for some reason, when he saw her jumping up and down from a distance, and she was holding a heavy bag in her hand. What's inside.
"Sephiny! Where have you been? Come back quickly, there is something weird!"
Dom shouted as he ran towards Sephiny.
Just when he felt relaxed, an arrow unexpectedly shot out from behind Sephani.
Dom felt that the world began to slow down. He shouted desperately and stretched out his hand to block the arrow.
puff--
There was a muffled sound, and Dom froze on the spot.
