@xEternalSoul "he's pretty much a troublemaker" Guess who is making stuff up? You. Since being trapped in this dungeon, Dawun has not gone out of his way to make someone his enemy when he didn't need to. Again, he saved a random fat kid because he felt like it. Again, yes, if Dawun had a goal that required pissing someone off, then he would do it. Again, that does not look like the case here.
And wow, you really did not read what I wrote. I NEVER said that Dawun could get more enchanted objects out of the villagers as opposed to the elder. What I'm saying is that Dawun didn't need to go first thing into pissing off the elder when Dawun had no solid reason for it. Yes, it is completely possible that Dawun could've gotten the enchanted items from the elder without publicly shaming the elder. Or, at the very least, Dawun didn't need to go straight into publicly shaming the elder without trying something else first.
And assumptions without facts, huh? Let's see how he has managed to gain respect of the villagers through his actual actions. Let's see how he literally had the griffin meat given away to the villagers for free. Here's something that you're not realizing. Yes, the elder has bad motivations. He's selfish and conceited. Yes, he's basically sending people off to die for him. Guess what? He GENERALLY still does good actions that benefit the village! You're failing to realize that that is his ENTIRE character.
@Franxx Antagonize "cause (someone) to become hostile." From Oxford Dictionaries. It's pretty clear that publicly humiliating the elder of the village would make the elder become hostile. That's what the word means.
