Chapter 292: The Ghost Among Us

Stannis wanted to ask him about the Kimberley, but Mayor Tucker had already left, leaving Amin with him.

"What did he mean by that?" Stannis had no idea what Mayor Mare meant by talking together.

Amin smiled at him kindly, then looked up at the corner of the square, and following his gaze, Stannis noticed that there was also a group of people there who were watching the happy people in the square with curious eyes, needless to say, these guys were also new outsiders.

"Who are these people?" asked Stannis curiously.

"They're just as many settlers as you who have been drawn to Oaktown's fame and are ready to settle here. ”

Stannis hurriedly denied: "I just came to find someone, I didn't say I was going to move here and settle here." ”

But Ah Ming pressed his hand on his shoulder and said in a friendly manner: "Don't worry, I was as hesitant as you when I first moved here, but in the end you will find that this place is simply a paradise compared to the outside, believe me, in the end, you will not be able to leave here." ”

After saying that, Amin joined in the crowd dancing in the center of the square.

Stannis reflected on what he had just said, it is true that this place can indeed be said to be a paradise compared to the outside world, there are no taxes here, everyone's face is full of joy, not to mention the delicious pumpkins, if he is not a lord, he will definitely devote himself to this new world of the Western Continent.

But I always felt that something was wrong here, a strong sense of disobedience, like this beautiful surface was just to hide the ghost underneath.

"You're moving here, too?" a majestic male voice rang out from behind him, and Stannis turned to find that it was a big, gruff man looking at him.

The other party's size is like a bear, which makes him a little scared, this guy can't be bad for himself, right?

Seeing that Stannis didn't speak, the big man knew that his image was a little bad, and he held back a smile of the greatest kindness, but this only made him look more hideous, "My name is Paul, and I am also from outside, along with my wife and my son." ”

Seeing that the other party was a family man, Stannis was relieved, and he was a little ashamed of his unkind attitude just now: "I'm Stan, from Zivignie. ”

"Oh, did you come alone?"

"Yes, but I'm here to find someone. ”

The big man scratched his head, looking a little disappointed with his answer, "Didn't you come here to move here?"

"Yes, I'm basically just a tourist, and my family is very happy. "How could Stannis abandon his three best friends and run here as civilians.

Dahan was like a deflated ball, and then he said with a little joy: "You are the fifth person I talked to today, and the only one who said that he did not want to stay. ”

Stannis looked over his body to the excited crowd behind him, all outsiders and happy with life here.

"Is there anything wrong here?" asked Stannis, feigning surprise, knowing that the big man was just as suspicious of this place as he was.

Paul glanced around, making sure no one noticed what they were chatting.

"I was originally a freeman under the lord of Burnley, because I caused some trouble there, so I had to take my family to other places to hide, I heard that this place is very remote and life is good, so I brought my family here, there is a guy named Nadegar who took the initiative to receive us, and invited us to stay, I walked around here for a few days, and found that it is indeed good, for us civilians can indeed be called heaven. ”

"But......," Stannis said for him.

"But I always felt that this place was very evil, and although my family loved it, I never dared to sleep when I went to bed every night, as if someone was watching us in the dark. ”

"What about the others? Do they feel that way?"

Paul shook his head, "I've talked to them, and they're all determined to live here, and the terms that Mayor Tucker gave me just now were very generous, that we could choose any house in the town as a place to live, and that everyone would be given 10 acres of land, and that they would never pay the land and would not have to do military service. ”

Stannis's eyes widened and he shouted incredulously, "That's a great condition, isn't it?", knowing that if the conditions were true, they would be much more generous than the peasant attraction program he had pursued in his domain.

"Yes, it's because it's so good that I didn't agree under the pretext that I still have to think about it. Paul felt a little thirsty, and he took the wooden cups from the table and handed them to Stannis, which contained a clear yellow liquid.

"But the pumpkin wine here is delicious!" the big man laughed heartily and drank the wine from his glass.

It was the first time Stannis had heard of it, and he took a careful sip of the wine, and found that it was just as good as any other pumpkin product, and that this sweet secret wine would not stop after taking a sip.

Stannis wiped his mouth with a sigh of relief, and then remembered an important matter, "By the way, since you have arrived a long time ago, have you seen a strange woman before?"

"Strange woman, what's her name and what does she look like?"

This was a question for Stannis, because he didn't know what identity Anya had used to come to the town this time.

"Well, she's probably called Aya, and she's pretty ......" Stannis didn't hold out much hope.

Sure enough, Paul shook his head that he hadn't heard of it, "I haven't heard of this name, but when it comes to beautiful women, it is true that a woman named Angel appeared a few days ago, but yesterday she suddenly disappeared for some reason." ”

It must be Anya, this must be her new identity! She was waiting for him here, but why did she suddenly disappear on the last day of the agreed period?

With a new clue, Stannis immediately said goodbye to Paul, now finding Anya is the most important thing, she won't meet the smiling man and fall into the clutches of the other party!

He found Amin singing and dancing in the crowd, and the latter, who had a black talent, was dancing the cancan in the crowd.

"I said you're playing too high, don't you have to go back to your patients?"

Stannis's words reminded Amin that he said goodbye to his companions and led him out of the square.

If Stannis had been able to turn his head at the last moment before entering the alley, he would have noticed that some of the otherwise joyful crowd had lost their smiles in an instant.
