Chapter 7 - old grudges

Ivan and the rest of the villagers stopped down the hill and started arguing about what they going to do about the chest family on top of the hill.

Ivan goes: No, we can't do that.

Gregg, a big man with a big belly, answered in a tough voice. No, we can.

Ivan: We can't call soldiers; they're going to take the boy.

Von middle-aged man with a bold spot in the middle, with long hair on the sides, with skin voice responds to him in a husky voice: Why do you care, because they're going to take the kid who fu**ing cares about those barbaric people. 3 consecutive generations of elemental mages! That's insane! Do you understand what we are talking about, Ivan?

Ivan Huff: I know what you mean...

Old man cut him off angrily: No, you don't, all of us used to stay in the empty house as we like children, men, and women till this barbaric man and his wife kicked us out. While some nodded to him.

Ivan said to them: even so, they are just 3 children and a weak woman, what harm can they do to u…

Von cut him off: and the monsters of the intem who gone take care of them if not to the military, does any of you willing to take care of them, the monster instead.

Von looked left and right, no one looked at him back or uttered a word, and continued: No one here has a death wish except you, Ivan.

All of the villagers looked at Ivan at once.

Ivan Studer: n-no, that isn't about…

Gregg didn't wait for him: it's about money, isn't it?

Ivan: Absolutely not, it's just…

Von continue: money, that is it, you can take the money of the reward from the authority. Looked at the people with teary eyes: we all know that you will not find money if the military take the young kid, we all should help Ivan, I don't think anybody will object about that, but you should make for that and go the terrifying military and take them and hope they take you without reason. While covering his eyes with his hand.

Von looked under his eyes at the people, and no one wanted to look at him back, some looked at the ground, some at the sky, whistling.

Von continued: That's settled, you can take my horse Beath to go to the military spot in the nearby city and come back before noon.

Gregg holds his left arm while Von holds his right arm, taking Ivan out the crowd and whisper: we will split the money mother fu**er we don't give sh*t about these skeletons or anybody here does, so take the opportunity, do you understand?

Gregg: We can take the hill after we kick those su**ers and get these hefty trees for our selfies.

Ivan: but…

Gregg: Do you want take sell the wood for them and take all the money for yourself? What about your old friends? 

Gregg and Von give him a look of question and threat.

Ivan nods: okay, okay, but all get most of the gold as* ho*e.
