The villagers watched helplessly as Malevolence's humans carried sacks of grain from their stores, but other Malevolence's humans, alongside bees, were already calming them down. They were planting the first usnea plants on their empty fields.
Like always, a large crowd gathered around the planting area, this time both from villagers and from recruited bandits. They all watched with shocked gasps and wide eyes how usnea trees grew from a tiny seed to a towering plant within minutes, while a dozen bees breathed fire at it to make it grow faster.
When the usnea tree began growing fruits, the human demonstrating its safety picked them up and demonstratively put one between his jaws. There were more gasps.
One of the bandits shouted something, which the other bandits supported; this caused loud reactions from the villagers. One of them shouted back, and a few others began waving their hands and stomping angrily.
