Chapter 005: The Copper Ring of the Old Village Chief

At this point, the old village chief himself couldn't help but laugh

Hearing Old Barton's joyful report, Lin Feng's anxious heart finally settled down

Now it is settled; the cold medicine is indeed effective. Lin Feng has become a great benefactor in curing illnesses. In the future, when he asks the villagers to assist him with certain tasks, he can do so with a clear conscience.

Hehe, thank you, old village chief. It is not for me to give orders, but for a period of time in the future, I will be practicing in the back mountain of your village, and I will likely trouble you in many ways.

Lin Feng smiled and suddenly pointed at the village chief's wrist, saying: "Old village chief, this ring of yours is quite extraordinary. May I take a look at it?"

Lin Feng politely responded to the villagers' gratitude and declined their invitation to dinner. Under the guidance of Old Bato, he walked all the way to the village chief's house

As the first person to take the medication, Brent's symptoms have improved significantly by now. Although he still cannot walk, he can sit up in bed and converse without much difficulty

Thank you. Lin Feng nodded slightly and directly placed the ring on the finger of his right hand; he indeed valued this copper ring highly

I can speak of its origins, but I hope to be able to purchase this ring said Lin Feng, maintaining a calm demeanor

Heiyan Village is home to a total of seventy-five households, with a recorded population of five hundred fifty-six people, making it a small impoverished village

Old village chief Brent was also the first person to take the medicine. As the village chief, he was willing to try the medication for the future of the village

The old village chief was overjoyed and immediately smiled as he said, "It is our utmost honor in Heiyan Village that you can instruct us to carry out tasks"

Indeed, Master Lin Feng is the embodiment of wisdom, which is why his hair is black and his eyes are also black

Oh, are you referring to this copper ring on my hand? Its origin is indeed somewhat unusual, please take a look." The old village chief hesitated for a moment, then took off the copper ring from his finger and handed it to Lin Feng.

Heiyan Village is also the only village within a radius of 50 miles. The Bright Mainland is vast and sparsely populated, and remote villages like Heiyan Village are numerous.

The old village chief shook his head and said: "We did not take it for appraisal, because we fear that if it is identified as an extraordinary treasure, it would bring catastrophic disaster to our village. Therefore, every generation of village chiefs has carefully protected the ring, never wearing it while stepping out of the village even once"

Oh, aren't you curious? Didn't you take it to someone for authentication?

Lin Feng said, "Old village chief, could you tell us about the origin of this copper ring?"

In fact, the village chiefs who have possessed this ring throughout the generations have been very curious as to why this copper ring is to be passed down. We have examined numerous books over the years, yet we cannot discern anything particularly remarkable about it. The most extraordinary aspect is likely its age; its historical existence far predates my own.

Master Lin Feng, Master Lin Feng, we are immensely grateful to you, we are immensely grateful to you, you have saved the lives of our entire family

Since the cold medicine is effective, the Karu syndrome is no longer so frightening. At this moment, it is a crucial time to win the hearts of the people. Lin Feng no longer harbors any reservations and decides to personally visit the villagers

Lin Feng raised his finger adorned with a ring and said, "First, I must inform you of one thing: this copper ring is not ordinary, for it is a magical ring"

After so many years of reproduction and survival, the humans on the Bright Continent have long ceased to have distinctions of race. Terms such as yellow race and white race have become obsolete, as they have all mixed together. They are all of mixed heritage, so among them, there may be individuals with black hair or those with black eyes, but it is extremely rare for both black hair and black eyes to appear on the same person.

The houses in the village are constructed from mud and thatch, forming simple straw huts. Although they are somewhat rudimentary, they are built quite solidly, making them adequate for habitation. However, such straw huts cannot be compared to the brick and tile buildings found on Earth.

Under the guidance of Old Bart, Lin Feng entered the village

Village Chief Brent is seventy-five years old this year. In his youth, he spent ten years as a mercenary, making him the most knowledgeable and respected person in the village

Master Lin Feng is the embodiment of wisdom, his hair as profound as the universe, and his eyes twinkle like the stars. Villagers have already begun to flatter Lin Feng.

Oh, so it is the village chief's token. When you passed it down through generations, did you not mention the differences in the ring? Since it is the village chief's token, it might be difficult to obtain.

This is Master Lin Feng, truly magnificent. Great individuals indeed have a different appearance. Look, Master Lin Feng has black hair.

This village is officially named Vino Village, but this name has not been used for a long time. Now, everyone refers to it as Heiyan Village, because the land surrounding the village consists of a barren black rocky terrain, which has led to Vino Village being nicknamed Heiyan Village

The old village chief said with a bitter smile: "Perhaps there was once, but after so many years of inheritance, it should have long been lost. Among the eleven village chiefs, several have died suddenly, and they probably did not have the chance to pass on their instructions, so we, the descendants, are unaware of the secret of the ring."

Old Bartos had already rushed back to the village. At his loud calls, the villagers knew that their great benefactor, the great mage Lin Feng, had personally arrived, and they all came out of their houses with excited expressions on their faces

At the moment the old village chief was seen, both He and Lin Feng suddenly brightened their eyes, yet the old village chief did not notice Lin Feng's unusual reaction. Instead, he expressed his gratitude excitedly, saying: "Master Lin Feng, thank you. You have saved the lives of our entire village."

The old village chief said politely: "Our Heiyan Village was saved by you. If you have any requests, please feel free to speak up"

Fortunately, having black hair and black eyes is not a taboo. Although Lin Feng looks somewhat different, it has not caused any unnecessary trouble.

The village chief has spoken too highly; we are all part of the human race. I am merely doing a small part, which is nothing significant said Lin Feng humbly

Upon hearing the news of Lin Feng's arrival in the village, Brent, whose spirits had improved somewhat, promptly requested to meet Lin Feng. Moments later, under the guidance of Old Bartol, Lin Feng met the old village chief, Brent

This is also the first step taken by Lin Feng to establish himself on the Continent of Light

The village chief had long seen through Lin Feng's intentions, and at this moment, he smiled and said: "Our lives were all saved by you; why would we need to buy a copper ring? From now on, this ring is yours."

Although the specific background of Master Lin Feng is unknown, the fact that he can easily cure Karu Syndrome suggests that his abilities are quite formidable. Brent is very eager to establish a friendship with the powerful Master Lin Feng

The old village chief squinted slightly, reminiscing as he spoke: "As for the specific origin, I cannot say for certain. In fact, this copper ring is a token that has been passed down through generations of village chiefs in Heiyan Village. Each time, it is kept by the village chief and handed down from the previous village chief to the next. I am the eleventh village chief of Heiyan Village, and this copper ring has been passed down through eleven generations in our hands"

Lin Feng's guess was indeed correct; Karu Syndrome is truly akin to a severe influenza. Consequently, after taking the cold remedy and antipyretics brought by Lin Feng, the villagers afflicted with Karu Syndrome have shown improvement in their condition, and most of them have already reduced their fever

The old village chief looked at Lin Feng and said, "Master Lin Feng, have you recognized the origin of this ring? I am also very curious about this copper ring that has been preserved for hundreds of years. Could you tell me what the origin of this ring is and what extraordinary qualities it possesses?"

Lin Feng's greatest concern was that the cold medicine would be ineffective or, worse, directly cause someone's death. If such a dire situation were to occur, Lin Feng would not only fail to become a benefactor to the villagers but would also turn into an enemy, which would be a loss that far outweighed any potential gain

This copper ring does not possess any remarkable features; it is merely the patterns on it that appear quite antiquated

Thank you for your kindness, you are truly the greatest mage. The old village chief Brent expressed his gratitude once again

Brent's physique is still quite robust, but he is, after all, getting on in years. In this recent bout of illness, Brent was unable to escape the affliction of disease; he also contracted Kalu syndrome and suddenly fell ill, becoming bedridden.
