Chapter 188
Parasopolis was 18 miles away from Manville.
For the first 12 miles, they could travel by car. Yet, they needed to walk for the last 6 miles because it was a dense forest that had not been developed.
The Manville government also wanted to develop before, but the people from Parasopolis would always impose means to get the construction teams into trouble.
Either workers were suddenly contracted with diseases of one kind or another, or construction equipment was broken down in one way or another.
Over time, no construction unit dared to take over this project. The government also knew that this was a trick of people from Parasopolis. They were also afraid of getting into trouble, so they gaye up the idea of developing Parasopolis.
Early in the morning. Stephanie and others finished their breakfast and chartered a van for Parasopolis.
The driver was talkative. Soon after they got in the car, he began to chat with Ronan in the passenger seat.
The driver Said, “I heard that Parasopolis has been in cluos recently.”
Ronan was very curious. “What happened?”
The driver said, “I’ll tell you all about it from the beginning. There used to be fifteen villages in Parasopolis. The heads of three of them were very ambitious and annexed other villages, and then a head ruled five villages. The three village heads were harmonious on the surface, but there was an undercurrent. This kind of false peace lasted for many years. After the old. village head died, he was replaced by a new one, and then the three villages began to plot against each other.”
Ronan looked back at Elvis, who was sitting between Stephanie and Vincent. “Which village are you from?”
Elvis gibbered a sentence.
Ronan said to the driver, “He’s from Terodt Village
The driver looked at Elvis through the rearview mirror. “This village is a bit miserable. It was jointly suppressed by two other villages. Steop Village and Poadew Village. It doesn’t feel like it will last much longer.”
Ronan looked at Elvis and felt sorry for the little boy.
He said. “Once the village is divided up, the people in it will become slaves to two other villages. Parasopolis is underdeveloped and isolated, so they must have lived a miserable life. Or we can adopt him and don’t send him back.”
Stephanie frowned, “Doesn’t he have a sister?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Ronan said. “Then bring Lola back too. I will take them on an adventure.”
Vincent said, “They probably don’t have a good education and we can let them go to school.
Denver, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, “Send Elvis back and remove the parasite inside Vincent. Then we’ll evacuate. Stay away from internal disputes among the villages and do not get into
trouble.
Ronan frowned, “Why are you so hard–hearted?”
Denver said coldly. “Do you know how many parasites there are in Parasopolis? Those little bugs can kill people in ant instant. You think you’re gonna get out of there alive? Seventy years is enough for you. What about Stephie and Vincent?”
Ronan was speechless
Denver closed his eyes again. “Remember the purpose of our visit to Parasopolis. You are not a savior, but an old man who knows how to find treasures”
Ronan twitched the corner of his mouth. At least, he was a treasure appraiser, but in Denver’s eyes, he was an old man.
He was a little angry, snorted, and crossed his arms in dissatisfaction.
The driver sighed, “In fact, I think what that gentleman said is right. Parasopolis is really not peaceful. If you’re being targeted by those people, they will not let you go. It’s terrible! So the government officials have given up the development of Parasopolis.”
Stephanie looked at Elvis. His eyes were clear and bright. He couldn’t understand what everyone was saying, but he felt the atmosphere was a little tense as if it was because of him.
Elvis tried to keep a low profile, kept his head town, and played his parasite.
12 miles seemed to be not far away, but it took forty minutes because the road was bumpy.
Stopping at the entrance to the woods, the driver said to them, “Bon voyage!”
After saying goodbye to the driver, they went into the woods.
The driver sighed, “I don’t know if they can come out alive!”
Into the woods, Elvis released his parasite. He said something to Ronan
Ronan translated. “He said that there would be parasites on the way to the villages. His parasite can make other parasites fall asleep.
Last night. Vincent couldn’t sense that the parasite in his heart was wriggling. This was probably the effect of Elvis’s parasite.
But this effect was not sustainable after all. Once the mother parasite died, the child parasite would release toxins at the moment of death, and the host would also die, so it must be taken out.
Because of Elvis’s parasite, they were not attacked by the parasites along the trip of 6 miles.
When they got close to the villages, they could see many wooden houses..
Elvis suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked around and seemed to find something unusual,
After being stunned for a few seconds, he ran forward.
Stephanie and Vincent followed, for fear that Elvis would encounter any danger.
They ran into the log cabins and found it quiet, like an empty neighborhood.
Elvis shouted something, and soon a wrinkled–faced old woman with some children came out of the cabin.
Elvis’s eyes lit up, holding the old woman’s legs and saying something.
The old woman nodded. She glanced at Stephanie and the others, then said, “Thank you for saving Elvis.”
Ronan was happy. “I didn’t expect you could speak our language. It’s much easier to communicate in this way, so I don’t need to translate”
The old woman took Stephanie and the others into the log cabin and gave them water.
She told them that the villagers thought that Elvis had been kidnapped by those from the other two villages last night, so all the men went to both villages and asked them to release Elvis. Util this morning, no one came back, so all the women had also gone there. Now only she and the children were left in the village.
The old woman sighed. “The two villages were originally ravetios of us. Now we take the initiative to come to them, and they will have an excuse that we provoked them and may take this opportunity to suppress us and make us become their slaves. The son of the head of Padew Village had a crush on Lol before, but Lola was only seventeen years old. She would rather die than give in. She escaped but was kidnapped by bad guys, Later, she met a good man and was rescued. She came back and wanted to take away Elvis. Unexpectedly, this thing happened. What should I do? Lola is so pathetic. I guess she was detained by Padew Village”
Ronan asked. “Maybe she was detained by Steop Village”
The old woman shook her head. “Now Strop Village and loadew Village are in a cooperative relationship. If they detain Lola, they will naturally send her to Poadew Village. This is a distert
Tears welled up in Elvis’s eyes. Standing at the door, he wiped hears with his chubby little hands.
Elvis was young, but not stupid. He could understand everything and naturally knew that his sister was in danger when she
found him.
He threw himself into the old woman’s arms and wept silently.
Stephanie and Vincent looked at each other. When they were about to say something, Denver held their shoulders.
He asked the old woman, “Who can remove the concentric parasite?”
