Chapter 2256


    Nelly added, “Oh dear. Great Marshal Zee said that this is a secret between the two of us, and I mustn''t


    tell anyone. I wonder if he will me me.”


    The vigers began to murmur among themselves.


    “Lass, you''re lying. This soundspletely absurd!”


    “The Great Marshal is such an influential person. There''s no way he wille to our vige. Even if he


    does, it will be a massive event. But, we aren''t aware of anything like that.”


    “I think you must have dreamed of the Great Marshal.”


    Nelly''s mom felt very guilty and apologized to the vigers, “I''m so sorry. It''s my fault for not guiding her


    well. That''s why she talks nonsense. When we go back, I will have a long talk with her.”


    “All right. Everyone, go back now. It''s gettingte.”


    The crowd began to disperse.


    Nelly, on the other hand, was displeased. “But, I''m telling the truth. Why won''t all of you believe me?”


    “Hold on!” Don called out.


    The vigers stopped in their tracks and eyed the vige chief with curiosity. “What is it?”


    Don took a deep breath before saying, “I feel that what Nelly says may be true.”


    The crowd could not help but burst outughing.


    “Chief, Nelly is still young, so we can understand if she is mistaken. But, you are so much older and


    wiser. How can you have such poor judgment?”


    The vige chief said, “Hear me out first. Firstly, this warrior does look very much like the Great


    Marshal in our mural, but that''s understandable. However, both their auras are also very simr. Can


    there really be two such identical men in this world? Secondly, remember three days ago, when we


    woke up and saw the strange happenings?”

    The vigers nodded and started talking.


    “Of course, we remember. Three days ago, when we woke up, many of us had strange injuries on our


    bodies. The injuries looked as if we have been overworking.”


    “The vegetables in our greenhouses seemed to have grown overnight, but it''s not possible.”


    “Also, my dog actually died of starvation. But, the night before, I have given it sufficient food.”


    “Chief, can all these strange happenings have something to do with the Great Marshal?”


    Don said, “To be honest, I have a strong suspicion that we have been sleeping for at least five to six


    days continuously during that period! That''s why the dog died of starvation. It also exins why the


    vegetables have grown so much. During those days, we have been controlled by someone while


    working our guts off. That will exin the injuries on us. Throughout everything, we werepletely


    unconscious. We are only rescued when the warrior, who is also the Great Marshal, appeared.”


    When the vigers heard that, their faces turned pale.


    “Chief, you''re joking, right?”


    “That''s right. Nobody can sleep for so many days in a row, and certainly not the entire vige.”


    “Did you say we were being controlled by someone, and that person made us work? How can we not


    have realized that? Your theory has too many loopholes!”


    Don smiled bitterly. “I also hope that my theory is wrong. But, if everything is true...”


    The thought terrified Don.


    Suddenly, Nelly said, “Chief, you''re right. These days, all of you keep sleeping during the day and only


    go out to work at night. Furthermore, none of you drinks, eats, or talks. All of you ignore us too. Other


    than work, all you do is sleep. If Great Marshal Zee hasn''t been feeding me, I would have died of


    hunger.”


    What!


    Nelly''s words hit them like a bolt of lightning!


    All of them looked at Nelly with petrified looks in their eyes. “Nelly, w-what did you just say? These past


    few days, we have been doing nothing but work and sleep. We didn''t even eat or drink?”


    Nelly was frightened by the vigers'' extreme reactions. She nodded her head fearfully. “Yes, that''s


    right. I never lie.”
