"The great sage of the village, Claremont, is a liar, I'm sure of it!"

The village chief sat behind his desk, and because of his emotion, the spittle flying sideways as he spoke made Donald subconsciously turn to the left.

This grievance seems to be not small.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Anthony answered at the right time.

"Please rest assured that I am not slandering him out of thin air, and through our private evidence gathering, we have confirmed several facts. ”

Listening to this tone, he should be well prepared, and Donald was also interested, what kind of sage was this great sage who was highly respected in the mouth of the villagers.

Claremont once said that he was from Delchimo in the east, which is your destination, because the city was a religious district, so he was religiously trained from an early age...... This is not the case, I sent someone to Delchimo to investigate, and what he said about some of Delchimo's architectural scenes and local customs is full of loopholes. ”

"He said that he was the agent of Timola, the god of harvest and hunting, but we went through the records of the Empire's orthodox religion, and this religion did not exist at all, let alone this god named Timola, I think this is just an image of his personal imagination, he used his image as a god for the villagers to make wood carvings and pray every day, several of them are from the big city, and they should also know that this is an extremely absurd act!"

"Claremont has a lot of unusual behavior, and every night at the festival of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, according to the rules he proposed, must be celebrated until the early hours of the next morning, and I have observed his behavior with the deputy chief, and at 10 o'clock the festival begins, and he will disappear after praying as a great sage, and I have asked him where he is going, and his answer is to communicate with the gods alone, but in fact he left the village and did not know where to go. ”

"By the way, there is another thing, I don't know if you noticed the houses under construction when you entered the village, which are said to be for the new believers in the village in the future, because the great sage predicted that more people would join our village in the future...... Come to think of it, how could such a thing have been predicted?"

One by one, one by one, the village chief said it in detail, for fear that Donald and the others would not understand.

"Then why don't you expose him?"

Donald listened to what the village chief said, as if he had already determined the identity of the other party, in that case, why did he still talk to a few of them?

As Donald asked this question, both the village chief and the deputy village chief were speechless for a while.

"Alas...... Because the villagers don't believe us at all...... They always felt that the deputy village chief and I had studied in the city of Berouyah, so we had different ideas from theirs, and I must admit that there was a problem in this regard, because the two of us were accustomed to going out as gentlemen, and I did not expect that the most ordinary things in the city of Berouille would become the main reason for the disregard in this village. ”

The village chief's face is a little unsightly, as the head of a village, he can't get the love and trust of the people, there is nothing more shameful than this.

"Actually, they completely misunderstood us, since we are in charge of this village, how can we not think about them?, but they only denied us because of the initial impression, so that some of our plans could not be carried out at all, and as a result, we got the name of incompetence, we don't mind this name, but Claremont's behavior is really bad, we are afraid that if he continues to behave like this, it is likely to cause some irreparable consequences, and then it will be regretted!"

The righteousness of these words is awe-inspiring, and he has completely shaped himself into an image that is not afraid of gossip and is bent on the well-being of the village.

Donald pursed his lips, in fact, the problems of these two can be seen at a glance.

Clash of ideas.

Looking at the dress of the two and the layout of the house, you can see that they have never regarded themselves as members of the village, and their plan is estimated to have been conceived by the two of them staying in this study.

It is no wonder that the villagers do not want to see them, who want two people who dress up as gentlemen all day long to put on a superior face to instruct themselves to do things.

What if they didn't mean to?

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

This sense of dissatisfaction has accumulated for a long time, and now there is a sudden appearance of a great sage close to their lives, with a sharp contrast, naturally feel more cordial, coupled with the accumulation of fame brought about by the so-called miracles for a period of time, it is natural that the village chief and deputy village head, who should be in charge of the affairs of the village, are gradually elevated.

"You mean you want us to expose his scam?"

Anthony finally understood what they meant.

"Yes, that's it, we need to save these villagers, they can't be fooled by this false god anymore, you are outsiders, well-dressed and armed, it is easier for them to believe than us...... Of course, there is a reward for this, and if I can successfully debunk Claremont, I am willing to give a few 5 gold pounds privately. ”

The village chief obviously regarded Donald and the others as ordinary mercenaries, and the price of 5 gold pounds was not cheap for ordinary people, but for them, it was really nothing.

Anthony looked back at Donald, and what he meant was ready to say no.

With their current ability to get involved in this kind of thing, it's actually the same as an adult participating in a child's fight, not to mention the shame of winning, if the person's identity is fake, but he is really a good sage for the villagers, then they can still go against the villagers of the entire village and forcibly expel the people?

Donald, however, raised his hand and pressed down.

"And what if we still can't convince the villagers that Claremont is fake?"

Donald took over the conversation and took the initiative to speak.

"This ......"

The village chief was a little hesitant, and it was obvious that he actually had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"The village chief clearly said that we are mercenaries, and we recognize money, not people. ”

He added with a smile.

"I feel that if he dies without repentance, then as the head of this village, I have an obligation to expel him completely, and you can rest assured that some of his actions have actually been ...... It is not impossible to use coercive measures against her in violation of the laws of the Empire. ”

When these words are spoken, the meaning is actually very clear, if you can't expose it, then force you to do it and kill him!

"Okay, we took this task, I hope Mr. Village Chief will be the talker. ”

With his fingers rubbing his pocket watch, Donald made a surprise decision, and both Anthony and Stephanie gave him puzzled looks.

But now that Donald had made his decision, they didn't say much, and after a few more words with the village chief, they came out of the house.

"Donald, I support your decision, but can you explain?"

Anthony wasn't trying to contradict Donald, he just wanted to understand why.

"Grand Sage Claremont, this man is definitely not ordinary, do you remember the wood carving that I picked up by the river before, the light after pouring water, I saw it with my own eyes, there is no means to do this, and he can actually make the whole village love him and maintain him, which is a remarkable thing in itself. ”

I had just asked the village chief where the great sage's house was, and Donald was walking there with a few men, and he was quite interested in this man.

"If you really can't expose him then...... Kill?"

Stephanie is more concerned with what it is to kill or not to kill.

"Whether to kill or not, it is not up to us, but depends on his performance, in fact, I asked the village chief this question before, just to try his attitude, now it seems that this village chief is obviously not a good stubble, for the safety of the villagers may be one of the reasons, I think it is more that he can't accept that his power is deprived, if the latter is the main reason, then his words can not be fully believed. ”

The village chief commented on Claremont with obvious hatred, and there was no doubt that it would be unfair to press it off.

"Then how is Big Brother Donald going to expose the face of the Great Sage?"

In the past few days, Julia, who has gradually integrated into the group, has begun to gradually participate in the dialogue between Donald, Anthony, and Stephanie.

As for Lilo...... She understood, but didn't want to speak.

"How to debunk it? Of course, I ask directly, I have a Stephanie here, there is no need to play tricks with him, whether he is lying to us or not, we will know in a few words. ”

Unconsciously, the hidden strength of Donald's team is already quite terrifying, three awakened-level powerhouses, a stranger with special abilities and quite strong auxiliary abilities, a cat who really fights at the level of a powerful wizard, and even Julia, who seems to be the weakest, is accompanied by a guardian ghost with unknown ability.

The other party is just a great sage nested in the countryside, how strong can he be?

In front of the only church in the village, there are many villagers gathered here, some help clean the floor, some take a rag to wipe the windows, and some take a feather duster to pick up the cobwebs on the eaves......

"This is the gap, a great sage who may be a liar, so many people can come over to help clean up and decorate the façade during the winter festival, but the real village chief's mansion is a lot of people, do you do this, is it true or false?"

Donald looked at the church in front of him, which was clearly more rustic...... It is not so much a church as it is more like a spiritual belief that the villagers have built together.

Bypassing the people who were helping outside, Donald walked into the church and saw the gray-robed old man standing in front of the stage bending over to wipe the wooden statue.

"May I ask if this is the Grand Sage Lord Claremont?"

Donald asked aloud.

"I'm not a great sage, just a devout servant, and you can call me by my name. ”

The old man turned around, with a long and neat beard, kind eyebrows and eyes, and a natural affinity on his face.

"I'm from Beruye City, and I just had a conversation with the village chief, are you really a great sage?"

Gestured with Stephanie's eyes, who nodded to indicate that he was already monitoring, and Donald's question was simple and straightforward.

"True or false, does it matter?"

Claremont's words were the same as Donald's words before he entered the door.
