None of these witches are decent V2C62

Chapter 62: I Assume You Are Mentally Prepared

After undergoing a review, approximately two hundred refugees entered Fengniao Town.

With the assistance of the Phylin tribe, these individuals had all found temporary places to stay. Although those unreconstructed houses had leaks on all sides, they could be considered sheltered, providing at least a roof over their heads.

For those wandering in the Fengsha Basin, that was already a decent place.

In the future, even more people might be pouring into Fengniao Town because the total number of refugees in the entire Fengsha Basin was close to one hundred thousand.

However, it could accommodate at most a few thousand people for just one town. New towns might be established in the future—of course, that’s a matter for later.

Thinking about the future when Fengniao Town was not even at full capacity yet might be too ambitious.

“Why are there so many people?” After Ron collected the things placed at the entrance of Fengniao Town and noticed that the sky had darkened, he wondered, “They won’t start fighting, will they?”

The final number of people placed in Fengniao Town exceeded Ron’s expectations. He originally thought that more than half of these people would be unsuitable.

After all, according to Moluna and Lilian, people held a significant amount of hatred towards witches, and the Phylin tribe was often looked down upon. However, in reality, the majority of people seemed to be “indifferent.”

Simply put, it was a matter of following the crowd: if others hated, they followed suit. If others looked down upon them, they did the same.

Well, you could even follow the trend in such matters. Ron learned something new today.

Of course, there were also some people with deep-rooted hatred towards witches, the kind that was impossible to let go of.

It was as if they didn’t consider witches as equals and mindlessly blamed all their misfortunes on the witches. For people like this, even something as trivial as drinking water and getting something stuck in their teeth could be blamed on the witches.

“I thought you would let them in. After all, maybe their thoughts could change,” Lilian said softly.

Ron waved his hand, “Well, that’s basically the same thing.”

Ron didn’t know if their thoughts would change. But randomly letting people in would surely ruin Fengniao Town, which was already vulnerable.

“Have you ever thought that I might be lying to you?” Lilian asked curiously, her eyelids drooping from behind.

“I’ve never thought about that question,” Ron replied casually after returning the large sword to the system’s space.

“Thank you for your trust.” Although Ron couldn’t see, Lilian lifted her skirt and gave Ron a bow.

Lilian didn’t quite understand why Ron trusted her, but she was determined to reciprocate that.

Ron’s reason for trusting Lilian was quite simple: he didn’t have many people he could trust. So far, the Phylin tribe and Moluna and Lilian, who had been by his side, were the ones he could trust.

Individuals like Lady Mercury and the system were top-notch tricksters.

Even the “mentor,” who had told Ron many things, didn’t convince him entirely.

“Lord Ron.” Ron hadn’t walked far when Eveum suddenly called out from the side, where he had been watching for a long time.

Eveum had been there almost from the beginning to the end, never leaving.

“Eveum?” Ron heard Eveum’s voice and stopped in his tracks.

“Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you.” He suddenly remembered something, “I’ve moved all your things from your old house back.”

She smiled. Ron’s words made her feel she didn’t need to say much. After all, those lengthy words of gratitude now seemed pale.

“Thank you.” After a while, Eveum sincerely expressed her gratitude.

She seemed to have said “thank you” many times to Ron. But she felt that even if she said it many more times, she still couldn’t express her gratitude.

Ron tilted his head and asked, “Thank me for what?”

Thank him for bringing things back. That’s not necessary at all, as the Phylin tribe is handling everything.

“You’ve refused many people for us and the Phylin tribe,” in Eveum’s opinion, Ron does not need to refuse those refugees.

Although she felt a bit suppressed seeing familiar faces among those people on the side, Eveum had long prepared herself to endure.

Eveum could not see who among them might become a traitor without warning, and she was afraid.

Just like Lilian, Eveum was genuinely surprised by Ron’s decision.

Now Eveum finally understood why Moluna said Ron could save witches. He had indeed done things others wouldn’t do.

It was not that everyone was unwilling to help witches. It was just that helping them often came with a heavy price, causing people to hide their scarce kindness even more.

Moreover, Eveum learned from the Phylin tribe about Ron’s identity – he is the lord of the Wind Veil Basin.

And if a lord helps witches, he will face even more formidable challenges. If one doesn’t persevere through, there might be a tragic outcome.

“But in any case, I will help you as much as possible, even if you find yourself in dire straits,” Eveum said softly.

Ron looked at Eveum in confusion, then turned his questioning gaze to Lilian.

Lilian didn’t say anything. She simply stood silently behind Ron, giving him a determined look.

Like Eveum, Lilian also believed that Ron was mentally prepared before choosing to accept witches. Mainly because she couldn’t entirely fathom Ron’s thoughts, she could only guess.

After all, Ron was well aware of the negative attitude people in the Bi-colored Realm had towards witches. He probably didn’t expect anything good to happen after accepting them.

Certainly, Ron couldn’t believe that beings like witches could be easily accepted.

In the future, it was likely that those individuals who incited hatred towards witches would find an excuse to attack Ron.

Even Ron’s territory could become a target of attack.

How many people will betray Ron at that time? Lilian can’t say for sure.

However, Lilian would stay by his side until Ron betrayed the mission of the Time Travelers or died, considering it a way to repay Ron’s trust in her.

“What are you all doing?” Ron was even more confused when he saw Lilian’s determined gaze.

Indeed, he was unaware that beings like witches could not be easily accepted.
