Three years ago, he GoSun village was peaceful even they had no leaders or any form of securities guiding their daily lives.
They weren't that poor and weren't that rich when compared with other villages and town, but they paid the highest amount of tax.
The police was a force created by the king himself. beside the noble and the king's twelve candidates, the police is the other ruling body.
It would have been acceptable to collect high taxes, but only if they provide services to them like securing their farmers who venture deep into dangerous forests despite the dangerous beast that reside in the forest, they work all day long and sometimes even work throughout the knight just to provide for them.
The GoSun village, having no security, became the breeding place of hardened criminals.
And soon, the small nobles began to get power thirsty and they wanted to rule over the village.
Thus a war between small nobles began. For six months, the village was filled with blood and wailing of the innocent families.
Then, a winner emerge, his name was Sun Go Sun.
The village was formerly without a name, thus Sun Go Sun named it after himself, thus the name today.
Sun Go Sun was a good leader, and he managed to fend off against the police and even provided monetary support for the farmers.
Ever since then, the village became peaceful again even with the criminals residing in their midst.
However, about a year ago, villagers began to go missing almost every weekends.
Later, the Sun Go Sun and his entire family members went missing.
This was very suspicious!
All the nobles residing in GoSun village were all small nobles and no one of them publicly went against Sun Go Sun's rulership and even if they did, their family power wasn't as powerful as that of Sun Go Sun.
A farmer and his family was working in a farm one day, the eldest son of the farmer decided to visit a nearby spring to bring water from his family.
On his way returning, covered in bushes of thin grasses, he saw his family members being knocked out by some men dressed up in black cloaks and wore masks.
However he caught the insignia at the back of their robe that glowed during night time because of the bright colors.
He saw a small eagle like bird, with shiny yellow horns and long and black bat like wings — The yellow horn black wing mercenary group, they used to be good but they turn bad because they didn't customers coming to them for help.
The young man, silently watched his family getting stuffed into a spatial sacks with tears dropping from his eyes because he was very powerless.
But he have gotten a clue of the criminals and with the clue, he went to the security force Sun Go Sun have formed which was still in their birth phase with not enough power to carry out the mission so they gave the young man money to give the mission to the Stargazing Guild.
And ever since then, different adventurers ventured into their village but none was lucky enough to complete the mission or even get at least lucky enough to find the hideout of the criminals and tell whether the victims are alive and safe.

.
Inside a vast forest covering many villages.
At the middle of it, several villagers have gathered, their number was more than two hundred because they added members of different villages that were in silver south kingdom.
There was a large tree called the Lion Legacy tree, because it has roots resembling that of the Lions and hind and claws.
The branches gathered together formed a ferocious lion with manes covering it's head.
The villagers believed that this tree belongs to the forest guardian.
They worshipped it collectively every year praying that it keeps guiding their farmers who work on it, provide them with fertile ground to raise crops and pray that it forgives them for their crime of cutting down the trees.
This was a culture passed down from generations and it was still practiced today.
As the villagers kowtowed and place their sacrifices on the roots of the trees, the branches of the tree began to glow.
But as it glow it wasn't like that type that they expected, but it was more like it was burning and this shocked everyone but they still kept on worshiping.
"Oh great forest guardian. Thank you for offering your blessings to us once again.."
The 200+ citizens bowed with their head touching the ground.
The Lion Legacy tree glow Increased, looking more like the sun giving out it's glorious glow during the night.
The villagers ignorant of the change, thought that it was the forest guardians doing but actually— They are too damn wrong.
Normally, a glow was expected.
One that displayed the green power of the Forest and not one that displayed one of the calamity entity of the world.
On top of the large lion legacy tree stood a being, short and engulfed in a furiously burning flames and a wing flapping on his back as it sent lava hot ball of flames that engulfed the tree branches and burnt it, which made it to glow and confused the worshipers.

Liam heard this, it was a suggestion from the devil of divine flame and from the looks of it, this one seems to be better. but now will he locate the dantian and take it out without destroying it? he thought and the only suggestion was to use the demon eye.
