Elos who stared at the bone labyrinth in surprise realized that there were already countless people kneeling around him, it could even be said that everyone was kneeling towards Elos without anyone standing still. Riona and the Zombie Warrior kneeled down like everyone else around, much to Elos' surprise.
The white light in Elos' hands slowly disappeared, and with it all the white light in the city faded before disappearing completely.
Although he was still quite confused, Elos thought again before saying "You can stand now, 1 of you moved forward to tell me everything that happened to me".
Elos knew that he must have been made a person who was in the prophecy, therefore all of these tiger men knelt down to regard Elos as their master. Based on this, Elos must now be even more assertive as a leader should be.
Hearing Elos' words, everyone stood back up, but they still did not dare to look directly at Elos' face which showed their respect.
Nors' grandfather pushes Rolir's shoulder stating that he can come forward to speak with Elos as a representative of the tiger man.
With the support of Nors's most influential grandfather in the city other than himself who was the mayor, Rolir took a breath before stepping forward towards Elos.
Elos had told them to stand up earlier which made Rolir not kneel anymore, but he still bowed respectfully to Elis "My Lord, I introduce myself once again. I am Rolir, the current leader of tiger humans, tiger humans are part of the 2nd strongest animal human race in this barren land region. We have been waiting for your arrival for hundreds of years, with this the whole tiger-man gives his loyalty to the master. My lord, your decision!".
Elos looked at Rolir, he was now his master so it should no longer be to call Rolir in the name of uncle "Rolir, it is not good to talk about this matter in a place like this. Wouldn't it be better to find a place where we can sit while spending time talking?".
Rolir soon realized that they were now speaking in the middle of the city street, though no one was passing this road but what Elos said was correct, it is impolite to speak in a place like this.
"My lord, I'm sorry for my stupid actions! I will take the master to my house with my grandfather Nors, my house has a room that is spacious enough and suitable for speaking" Rolir said.
"Then let's go, let the people around to see the changes to the city as well. However the trees in the newly emerging forest have a lot of fruit, you can eat them to overcome your previous hunger. Although my Ruler of Light has made you healthy again, but food is still needed", Elos explained, the human inhabitants of this tiger have become his followers who make Elos have to pay more attention to them.
"Alright, sir!", replied Rolir before staring at his 2 children "Tegir, Ilina, you divide the population into 2 groups to inspect the forest and lake. Remember this well, you can pick up fruit or hunt animals, but take enough! We have to keep the animals in the forest from going extinct, do you understand?".
"Okay dad!", Tegir and Ilina replied firmly.
Riona's face was a little embarrassed to hear Rolir saying that she was Elos' woman, but Riona nodded in agreement because she was really Elos' woman.
Under Rolir's invitation, Elos and Riona and Nors' grandfather return to Rolir's house.
This time Rolir tells his wife who has come home to prepare the best food for everyone, although Elos can not eat but courtesy to Riona is still needed.
When Samia went to the kitchen, everyone sat around the table that was previously used as the dining table.
Elos stared at Rolir "Tell me, the state of all animal humans now. From the story you said earlier, all human animals believe in the prophecy. Therefore, won't all the animals in the barren land be loyal to me?".
"This-", Rolir broke out in a cold sweat because he knew the real situation, he said carefully "Indeed there are still many animal humans waiting according to the prophecy, but too much time has passed and some people have decided to stop believing again. Among them was the lion man leader who was the strongest animal human race in the barren land, Loin. A few hours ago before you got here, Loin told me that they were already cooperating with humans. Even though the master had already displayed the strength of the master that was in accordance with the prophecy, but to convince them would be very difficult. Even I'm sure that in the near future, lion-men will attack this city! They've been working with humans and can't be trusted anymore".
Elos nodded, it seemed that the entire animal human race was already split as a result of time. So not all human animals will be loyal to Elos, even some of them may be against him and reject the appearance of Elos.
"How many are still loyal to me?" said Elos staring at Rolir.
This time the person who answered was the grandfather of Nors "We do not know for sure about the number because there are so many races of animal humans scattered. But we tiger humans have several tribes close by, among which is a race of animal humans who became the bodyguards of the kings in the Animal Human Kingdom back then and are the 3rd strongest animal human race, Bear Humans!".
Rolir who was on the other hand nodded "Not all animal human races are in the barren land, since the destruction of the Animal Man Kingdom then some other animal humans went to different places. Especially human water-related animals such as fish humans, in the barren land used to have absolutely no water suitable for their residence, he said, this caused them to decide to live in another area".
"But master need not worry, lion humans are indeed the strongest animal human race. The problem is that they have more numbers than humans bears, if it is only in terms of individual strength then bear humans are the strongest among other animal humans. This reason that made them chosen as the king's bodyguard first, now there were no descendants of the previous king who were still alive. The last king told them to always follow the words of the soothsayer, since the death of the soothsayer they decided to wait for the master and give their allegiance. Bear humans are not very intelligent, but they are very loyal and strong! With their help, the chances of us winning from the lion man will become even greater!".
Elos thought for a while before having a decision, he looked at everyone while saying firmly "I need you to spread the word that the foretold person is already present to the entire animal human race, he said, besides that I will also receive any loyalty on condition that they have to send a representative to the bone tower labyrinth. Anyone who does not send a representative will be considered as a reject, then they will be our enemy from now on!".
Rolir and Nors' grandfather did not hesitate at all, they stepped down from their seats to kneel "We are ready to do the task given by the master!".
