Chapter 575: Glimpse of the Past (2) (1/2)
”Oh? I haven't heard about any village being around these parts of the Divine Snowland Region. It might be a mortal village,” Heinrich Escladus wondered before he said, ”We will head over and check it out.”
”Since the village were locals in the area, they might have some helpful information regarding the entrance location to the ruins of the ancient buddha sect.”
”What about these baby Snow Tigers, father?” The boy asked.
Heinrich Escladus glanced at the four tiny Snow Tigers that could barely walk properly for a moment before he said, ”We will take them with us. Since you have killed their mother, you have to be responsible for raising them.”
”Can't we just leave them to grow up on their own?” The boy asked.
”No,” Heinrich Escladus shook his head before he explained, ”If we leave Snow Tiger Cubs here like this, they will not survive for long in this wild. Most likely, they will become food for other beasts before they starve to death.”
”Either way will generate bad karma. As such, they are your responsibility now, understand?” Heinrich Escladus glanced at his son seriously.
”Oh…” The boy lowered his head in contemplation before he nodded, ”I understand, father.”
”Good,” Heinrich Escladus smiled.
Shortly after, Heinrich Escladus waved his hand before the four Snow Tiger Cubs were picked up by formless traces of Divine Power like they were being grabbed from the back of their necks by invisible hands.
The Snow Tiger Cubs meowed like cats in protest, but they could do nothing to resist Heinrich Escladus's Divine Power.
”Let's go,” Heinrich Escladus urged.
The boy wanted to be carried by his father again.
However, Heinrich Escladus shook his head and refused his son's simple request with a stern look, ”No, you have to walk and reflect on your mistake.”
”Uu… Yes, father…” The boy answered with his head lowered.
It did not take long before they reached the entrance of the small village.
The wooden buildings and humble houses were covered in thick layers of snow, while some were half-buried, and not a single human could be spotted.
”Seems like this place have been deserted for some time now,” Heinrich Escladus sighed with disappointment before taking his first step into the village.
The Snow Tiger Cubs were dragged along in midair while little Leon followed not too far behind Heinrich Escladus.
However, after a few steps past the village gates, little Leon tripped and faceplanted into the thick snow.
”Are you alright, son? Be careful with your steps. The snow is quite thick in this area.” Heinrich Escladus said.
The boy quickly shook his head and said, ”There's something in the snow, father,”
”Oh?” Heinrich paused for a moment.
Shortly after, he scoured the entire village with his powerful divine sense.
Numerous bodies belonging to both the young and the old laid frozen and buried underneath the thick layers of snow with sword wounds all over their bodies.
”So this village was raided by bandits,” Heinrich Escladus sighed at innocent lives lost.
