When Richard returned to the village, he found more commotion caused by the panic of the villagers, with Lisa trying her best to calm them down.
Many of them actually refused to evacuate, as it would not be easy for them.
The reason was that they were not as wealthy as Mr. Joe. Most of them had no savings and lived by relying on the natural resources of the village.
If they were forced to evacuate, they feared they would have nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep.
Fortunately, once they were informed that the Sky Armor Legion would be sending their knights, the villagers finally began to calm down.
Richard was too lazy to approach the villagers. Instead, he entered the orphanage, went to his room, locked the door, and sat down to absorb Aether.
Perhaps later, if a horde of beasts truly came, he would just roar at them.
Unlike Apple Town, the amount of Aether in this village was indeed lower, but not by a great margin.
