Armin soon leaves for the mission that Stannis has assigned him, and it feels nice to have a trusted ally in a strange town.

Stannis also decides to go out, this time to find out the former county magistrate Kimberly, and he has a gut feeling that if the beggar can be found, the truth about the town will come to light.

But as soon as he tried to step out, he noticed that something was wrong, and he turned to find that Evelyn had picked up a golden pumpkin on the table.

Stannis was speechless, "Didn't you let you out? Besides, I stole so many pumpkins for you last night, you won't eat them all!"

The girl sucked her thumb and waved her hand impatiently, "You're so annoying, do I want to ask you for something to eat?"

Since he said this, Stannis had to shut up, but he still whispered, "Eat so much, be careful that you can't wear latex leather pants again......"

A crossbow bolt was nailed in front of him, and Evelyn ate a pumpkin as she shot an arrow at Stannis with one hand, "I see you're a lot more squirming than you used to be. ”

Stannis pulled the bolt off the door and tossed it back to her, and he looked at the motionless Duo'er again, if the woman was just pretending to be a fool and was actually a spy, then they would have played too much.

Evelyn noticed his gaze, and she touched Doer's now-messy hair, the hairstyle with bangs from before was also her masterpiece, "Don't worry about her, she's just a ghost, untouchable." ”

Stannis didn't want to know what she meant, he just repeated the advice he had given Evelyn a thousand times, "Keep it low, you have to keep it low!"

After saying that, he really went out this time.

But Evelyn behind him shouted to him, "When you go out to find the mayor you said this time, you must not cause trouble, the slightest change in your current situation will cause the alarm of the townspeople, so don't take care of even the things you want to manage, otherwise I will not be polite to you." ”

"Just let me be an ostrich, I'm good at this!" Stannis obviously didn't have the consciousness to see the unevenness.

With the map he had memorized in his head, Stannis walked the streets of Oak with ease, turning his head from time to time to look to the sides to find a beggar sleeping in his vomit.

But strangely, the wanderers who had been on every street a few days ago had disappeared without a trace, which made Stannis's search plan impossible to move forward from the beginning.

Not only that, even if he was just walking on the street, Stannis could feel that the atmosphere of the town had changed, and the most intuitive feeling was that the originally enthusiastic townspeople on the street no longer greeted him, and even more so, when they saw him, they hid like a plague god, and there were many eyes hiding behind the wooden planks of the windows to spy on his every move.

It turns out that it only takes one night to turn from a utopia that everyone yearns for to a streetless city full of mistrust, and from now on, he has become a prisoner under these hypocritical masks.

Everywhere he went, he felt a pair of eyes peeping at him, and he was already trapped in this room as Evelyn said, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

So he decided to go to the most crowded square in the middle of the town to see if there was any sign of Kimberley.

With the route planned for him by the map in his head, Stannis quickly found the center of the town, which is the main venue of the Hanukkah celebration, which did not disappoint Stannis, and sure enough, a group of teenagers were busy decorating the venue, especially the huge pumpkin tank in the center of the square, which was covered with colorful paintings, and looked like a ...... from a distance A huge monster head, but it's a Q version.

Because he was so busy, no one cared about Stannis who walked in alone, and they didn't seem to think of the visitor as an outsider, but directly as one of them.

But Stannis didn't mind, this was exactly what he desperately needed, and a smiling face full of youthful vitality gave him sunshine in his heart, but did not give him the former county magistrate.

Since he still hadn't found Kimberley, Stannis was about to go back, but he suddenly felt his bones start to itch, and he had to hurry up and find something to take to relieve the discomfort.

For example, he was craving pumpkin right now, and he turned his head to find a large bowl of pumpkin juice on the long table.

"Hah!" Stannis pounced on with joy, picked up a cup and scooped a full glass of pumpkin juice to drink, and the strong ant eating sensation disappeared as the cold sticky drink poured into his stomach.

The thought began to grow in Stannis's mind, but reason told him it wasn't going to work, and the pumpkins here seemed to be slowly eating away at his brain like a drug, first addicting him, robbing him of his sense of taste, and finally making him unable to live without them again.

"What's wrong with this pumpkin!" Stannis finally reacted to and took two steps back as he put the cup on the table.

Suddenly, he heard a fierce quarrel not far away, and although it was loud, it did not disturb the interest of the young people in the square, and they were still running back and forth happily.

But this intrigued Stannis, who walked towards the source of the sound, which was blocked by a row of houses, so the scene could not be seen from here.

When he turned and disappeared from view of the square, the square suddenly became silent, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and just stared coldly in the direction in which he had disappeared.

The busy appearance just now was just pretending, in order to show this outsider, and now that the audience is gone, of course they don't have to continue the performance.

Of course, Stannis, who had already turned the corner, did not know about this, and when he appeared at the back of the building, he found that it was the Paul family he had met earlier, and the man was driving a carriage with a cabin full of belongings, and it looked as if they were leaving the place.

But a few men stopped in front of the carriage and resolutely refused to let them leave.

The powerful man was shaking his fists excitedly, and it looked like he was desperate to escape from Oaktown.

Stannis looked at it for a while, and had to step forward to persuade him.

"Don't argue, don't argue, what's not to say, why do you use your fists?"

Paul recognized Stannis, but that didn't quell much of his anger, and he yelled, "Stan, are you trying to persuade me to stay, tell you, it's useless for anyone to come today, I must get out of here!"
