Gordon and Douro stood in front of the shop window, watching the pedestrians come and go on the street outside.

After a while, a group of adventurers passed by the "Douro's Treasure Chest".

"The magic potions in this store are cheaper, let's go buy two bottles. The next mission is to cross the rockfall cliffs, so it's a good idea to buy a few bottles of jumping potions just in case. ”

"What? Don't you know? I heard that the reason why the magic potions in this store are sold cheaply is because they are adulterated with inferior raw materials, and drinking them is harmful to the body. Moreover, if the potion fails at a critical moment, wouldn't it be pit to death? I'd rather spend a little more on potions from other stores. ”

"It's just a rumor, their potion didn't sell very well a few days ago, and I didn't see any problems."

"This matter has been spread all over the risk union, everyone swears by it, if you don't believe it, in the end, if you really buy a fake potion, you will still be the one who suffers."

"In that case, forget it."

The adventurer's conversation was clear to Gordon's ears. Several adventurers walked through the "Douro's Treasure Chest" and entered the "Hand of Ogro" diagonally opposite.

"See." Duro shrugged helplessly, "Because of this rumor, the business in the store is very bad today, not only has not a single bottle of magic potion been sold, but even the sales of other goods have been greatly affected." This is **naked slander! This is a great insult to my reputation! If I knew who was behind it, I would have to smash his head! ”

"The rumormongers will definitely catch it." "Let's first clarify who we provoked, or who our interests were violated, so that people would use this kind of indiscriminate method to attack us." ”

Duro pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I didn't mess with anyone in Clear Water City, I just ran the store honestly. I used to have some enemies when I was an adventurer, but, hehe...... Either they will go to the kingdom of God or go to the abyss, and they will definitely not come to take revenge on me now. ”

"After we started selling magic potions, although it did affect the business of other stores, it was not strict, and it was unlikely that they would retaliate against us purely for commercial interests." Gordon paused, and then said, "It seems that this matter is mainly directed at me. ”

He briefly talked about the conflict of interests between the Freeman family and the Ritter family with Douro. The chubby shopkeeper clenched his fists and looked disgusted: "Phew, I hate two kinds of people the most, first, tyrants; Second, insidious tyrants. Partner, since they're going to deal with you, it's against myself. Say, how do we do that? ”

Although Gordon guessed that the Ritter family was behind it, it was just speculation, and he needed proof. In addition, it is imperative to stop the loss.

For a small shop like Douro's Treasure Chest, which has not yet established a reputation and trust, the danger of rumors is huge. Business is not good, income plummets, income is not enough, and the business is closed...... Such an outcome is not what Gordon wants to see. He had to take steps to eliminate the bad effects of rumors.

"Duro, you know a lot of people, I need you to set up eyeliner in the adventurers' guild and the taverns with the highest concentration of adventurers, and find out which guys are spreading rumors. It would be even better if you could find the person behind the scenes. ”

"As for me," Gordon continued, "I have some relationship with the church at Meridia, and I'll see if I can get a priest to come and do a public test to prove that the potions in the store are completely authentic and non-poisonous." ”

"That's the best, let's split up." Duro nodded.

Gordon arrives at the imposing Temple of the Dawn. Pastor Jack was already familiar with him, and after Gordon told him of his intentions, the priest simply agreed to Gordon's request: "Although I am not a believer in Bahamut, the Lord of Guardianship and Truth, it is my duty to promote justice and fight against evil." ”

Of course, although he said it rightly, Gordon could not let the noble priest do the day work. After making a promise of 15 gold coins for labor expenses, the matter was finally settled.

Early the next morning, outside Douro's treasure chest, a large group of adventurers gathered. Douro spent the night spreading the news that the priest of the Temple of Dawn would be testing it today to prove that the potion from the store was not inferior. In addition, after the test, the store will offer a 50% discount, so adventurers can shop to their heart's content.

Dressed in a white robe, sprinkled with incense, and with a solemn expression, Pastor Jack arrived as scheduled under the attention of many adventurers. The pastor was so heeded by Gordon's request that he not only came himself, but also brought with him a division captain from the Sheriff's Office. The division of government functions in this world is still relatively rough, not as detailed as Gordon's world, and the Sheriff's Office is basically equivalent to a collection of police, industry and commerce, health, and fire departments, so it is normal for them to send people to deal with this matter.

"Mr. Gordon, this is Captain Anderson." Pastor Jack introduced.

Captain Anderson, who had a square face and a sturdy body, and looked like a soldier, beat his chest with his left hand and gave Gordon a Ferreton military salute: "Dear Mr. Mage, I will definitely do my best to restore your reputation." ”

With plenty of money, Gordon had a standard aristocratic demeanor, both in dress and spirit, and when Anderson saw the family crest on the mage's robes, he immediately took him as the owner of the shop. As for the Douro, it was simply ignored.

Douro smiled, not caring. He, a small shopkeeper and former adventurer, was naturally not as noble as a noble mage. Now that Gordon has come forward, he is happy to wait and see what happens.

"Adventurers, there have been rumors recently that the magic potions sold in our store are made of inferior ingredients and are harmful to the body after use. Today, I'm inviting Pastor Jack of the Temple of Dawn and Captain Anderson of the Sheriff's Bureau of Clear Water to testify and test the magic potions sold in our store to prove their innocence. ”

With these words, seeing that the attention of many adventurers was focused, Gordon nodded at Pastor Jack.

Melidia's followers walked into the store, took a magic potion from the shelves in front of many adventurers, and held it high: "I will unleash the magic 'Detect Poison' on this magic potion." If the potion contains any substances that are harmful to the human body, then the aura will take on a green color. ”

Most adventurers know some way about it, even if they don't know how to use magic or arcane arts. They nodded their heads in agreement with Pastor Jack's words, and waited for things to unfold.

Pastor Jack held the magic potion in his palm, his face sinking like water, and whispered the name of Meridia.

A milky white divine light washed away the magic potion, and when the light dissipated, only a few golden spots of light were left on the glass bottle.

"The test results have come out, and the magic potion sold in Douro's treasure chest is completely qualified, and there is no damage to the human body after drinking." Pastor Jack said loudly.

The adventurers looked at each other, and there was a buzz of talk from the crowd.

"Since the magic has not found any toxicity, it seems that it is really a rumor......"

"Now you can rest assured. Isn't it half price today, it's a big bargain. ”

"Hurry up in a moment, we must buy a bottle of strength potion!"

All kinds of discussions reached Gordon's ears, and his heart was reassured. In the current situation, the impact of the rumors should be dispelled quickly, and the business of the store will be back on track.

"Douro, announce the opening of the store." Gordon laughed.

At this moment, a yin and yang strange voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Hmph! The owner of this shop is a noble mage, who knows if the play he asked the priest to play today is true or not? Maybe he's paid the temple priest to deceive us! ”

The adventurers, who were originally eager to try and prepare to go to the store to shop, suddenly hesitated again, and countless suspicious eyes were cast on Gordon and the others.

Pastor Jack suddenly changed color, his voice was like a bell, and he rebuked sharply: "Who is it? Who would dare to question the brilliance and justice of Mademoiselle Melitia? Stand out! ”

"Hey, great lady of dawn, Meritia, of course I don't question it. But her pastor was mortal. Mortals make mistakes and fall because of all kinds of temptations. ”

Douro approached Gordon and whispered, "Is there anyone talking now?" ”

"I applied a Pengyu Angel Eye to myself, but I still couldn't find anyone to speak. I felt a faint wave of magic in the crowd. I'm afraid that the troublemaker used a special magic device to hide his location. ”

Instigated by that voice, even Pastor Jack was baptized with a skeptical eye.

"The priest of the temple is not a good thing, I heard that two young boys were assaulted by the priest in the village of Tatar last month."

"It's just that these pastors are usually high and dignified, but in private, they may be ugly and indecent."

The class of Temple Priests is definitely high compared to the adventurers. Not to mention social status and wealth, whenever an adventurer is injured and needs the priest's divine treatment, which time is it not begging and coaxing, and paying a large amount of gold to serve the priest as an uncle?

The resentment that was usually suppressed completely exploded at this time, and the adventurers made all kinds of mockery and ridicule to Pastor Jack, and the situation was about to get out of control.

"Shut up!" Captain Anderson saw Pastor Jack's face turn blue and knew he had to play. He shouted, his expression as stern as a knife: "Do you know what it is to slander a priest? If you don't want to squat in a cell and eat rancid bread, shut up Lao Tzu! ”

The ten patrolmen behind him drew their swords in unison, and the cold light of the blade pierced everyone's heart.

Seeing that the scene had temporarily stabilized, the yin and yang strange voice sounded again: "Yo, as a security patrol of the nobles, what do you want to do this time?" The truth of the matter is still inconclusive, and on what charges do you want to arrest us? Sue you, adventurers are not those soft egg farmers who can be bullied by you! ”

These words are like a spark thrown into an oil barrel, and the adventurer's love is instantly ignited.

"These ogre-guys! Lao Tzu has long seen that the Sheriff's Office is not pleasing to the eye, the lackeys of this group of nobles! ”

"Damn, you want to use weapons? When it comes to playing with swords, grandpa is not afraid! ”

Brush Brush Brush Brush!

Among the adventurers, dozens of them also drew their weapons. For a while, the atmosphere was tense, and it was a touch.
