"Hey, Donald, when I saw that man enter the door just now, the store manager's expression was a little unpleasant. ”

Walking down the street, Stephanie tugged at Donald's sleeve and whispered, she had been standing closer to the inside, with her view covering the counter.

"Angry?"

Donald was wondering why the village chief was looking for them, and at first he was a little puzzled by what Stephanie had said.

"I should say that I hated it, like the feeling of seeing a dirty beggar walk into the house, and he seemed to be very unwelcoming to the deputy village chief. ”

Stephanie was as sensitive to emotions as ever, the person who came to invite them just now was the deputy head of this village, and it stands to reason that he should be respected by the people in the village, but looking at the reaction of the store manager at that time, it was obvious that something was wrong.

"Not welcome...... I think I know what the reason is. ”

Playing with the pocket watch in his hand, Donald pursed his lips and said.

"You've only met for the first time, and you know?"

"Look at the clothes of the deputy village chief, you find nothing. ”

He took a step back slightly, making sure that his voice was not heard by the deputy village chief who was talking to Anthony, Anthony was the oldest in the group, so the deputy village chief subconsciously regarded him as the leader of this team, and Donald did not refute, but deliberately let Anthony go over to negotiate.

"Isn't it a normal attire?"

Stephanie looked up and down several times, brown coat, trousers of the same color, leather boots, palms, and a silk top hat, the standard gentleman's attire, which was full of men in the Tallinn district of Dirmingham.

"In Dmingham, this was normal at the time, but don't forget, it's a small mountain village, and it's like ...... Can you understand a pheasant with peacock feathers walking around in a flock of fowl?"

"Flutter, if your parable is heard, I won't come and duel with you?"

Stephanie always can't help but laugh at Donald's sudden metaphor, but I have to say that this metaphor is actually very vivid.

The deputy village chief's dress is obviously educated, and for him, this kind of dress is what a gentleman should be when he goes out, but for these villagers who are used to casual attire, this way of dressing is obviously a bit out of the masses.

Of course, this may just be one of the reasons, after all, just the clothes are not the same, and there will be no such reaction.

All the way to the house where the village chief lives, the appearance of the outside is no different from the surrounding houses, like this kind of village, naturally there will be no such thing as a government office building.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in. ”

The deputy village chief stood at the door, turned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Before entering the door, Donald's eyes first lingered on the beams and pillars outside, the ears of wheat inserted on them were not full enough at first glance, and the animal skins on the door panels were obviously nailed on casually, and in terms of appearance, they were worse than those ordinary houses on the side of the road.

When he walked through the door, the first thing Donald saw was the umbrella bucket and hanger in the corner, as well as the shoe rack on the other side, all the things inside were clean and elegant.

Judging from the perfunctory attitude of the two items of the winter festival outside, the village chief was resistant to the god of harvest and hunting, and judging by the furniture at the door, the village chief must have lived in a non-religious city for some time.

These are two pieces of information that Donald got in a short period of time.

They eventually met the village chief in a somewhat rudimentary study.

Of course, the simplicity of this place is relative, and for Donald, who used to sit in the study of Shelley's ancestral villa and read a book, the study room may have a total area of only 20 square meters, but it should be the richest place in the village.

"Contemptible Lang Ferro Eddy, the village chief of Fello Village. ”

It was the village chief who introduced himself first, and then Donald and his party introduced themselves.

As he spoke, Donald was also looking at the village chief.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a well-groomed hairstyle, and there are two or two mustaches, which obviously did not take much effort, and the village chief is dressed in a black suit, which is worn by Demingham most of the time when he attends important occasions, and if it is spread on weekdays, he will be said to be a stereotyped person who will not relax.

"Is there something you're looking for us?"

It was Anthony who spoke, no way, his current role was the leader of their line, so naturally he had to speak.

"I just want to meet a few people, I heard from the villagers, a few people came from the south, look at the costumes and the carriage full of goods, it should be from the city of Beruye?"

As the village chief spoke, his gaze swept vaguely over the twin blades of frost and flame hanging from Anthony's waist and the long sword that Lilo held in his hand.

Donald saw it in his eyes and communicated with Anthony with mental power.

"Yes, in fact, we are a mercenary team from the city of Berouye, our destination is Delchimo, we happened to pass by this village, picked up a wood carving that is said to be the god of harvest and hunting, and was invited to come. ”

Judging from the mayor's gaze, he obviously cared a little about Anthony and Lilo's weapons, and it could also be said that he cared about their combat effectiveness, so Donald simply asked Anthony to change his tune.

"Oh, I see, I studied in the city of Berouille for a few years, and the roasted whole lamb there is something I've been thinking about to this day, but a few of them are mercenaries...... Sorry, no offense. ”

As soon as he heard that it was a mercenary, the village chief's eyes immediately lit up, but he didn't say it clearly, and deliberately pretended to be a casual "inquiry".

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the people sitting in front of him were more shrewd than the other, and one of them was a stranger who could detect emotions.

"Don't underestimate them, they are all capable. ”

Donald took over and gave Lilo a look, who stood up and drew his sword, and the clean movement and the whistling of the blade through the air immediately shook the village chief.

"Sir, the coffee is ready. ”

A woman came in through the door, carrying a large plate and a porcelain vase in addition to the dishes, the first time Donald had ever seen coffee in such a vessel.

In fact, it is relatively rare to be able to drink coffee in such rural places, and finely ground coffee is not cheap.

"I think the village chief specially received us, it should be more than just to get to know us, right? I like to be cheerful, and if there is anything, please ask the village chief to tell us. ”

Anthony glanced at Donald, gestured with his eyes, and then turned his head to have a showdown with the village chief.

They don't have that much time to waste here.

"This ...... Actually, I want you to do me a favor and expose a liar!"

The village chief gritted his teeth, but still said his true purpose.

Needless to say, this liar must be the great sage.
