In the evening, oil lamps were lit in the Ivy Tavern. Normally, the tavern would be a resting place for the lumberjacks and townsfolk after a hard day's work, and would always be lit up until late at night. However, the situation in the town was noticeably different from previous years, so the lights in the tavern were sparsely lit, and there was only one table of customers. The customers at this table are naturally cheese and their party. The mage eventually returned earlier than Jian Qi and the others, and when he came back, there was a faint anger on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was walking normally and his face was not injured, the innkeeper would probably think that he had just finished a fight.

Naturally, Cheese didn't do anything with anyone, and after going through so much, there were few things that could really make him angry. But no matter how much you have been through, being judged with malice will make people with good intentions feel resentful. The one with good intentions was the mage who followed Bunyan, and the one who judged him with malice was the first to fall into a long slumber of the old man's children. Unlike Bunyan, they show complete distrust and great suspicion of strangers, even going so far as to dismiss him as a fake wizard after Cheese shows him items including gloves to indicate that he is a doctor.

"The people here are unbelievable. They want to splash me with pig's blood!" said Cheese's fingers on the table at the dinner table, grumbling to his companion.

"You probably don't like to hear this, but at that time knives were used to heal diseases? We usually call such people butchers. The proprietress who brought the food to the table rolled her eyes, as a native-born knot, she was just as incomprehensible as the family who had been visited by the mage in the afternoon. In the understanding of medicine here, medicine should be incense and herbs, or strange rituals. Instead of coming up and putting out a row of sharp weapons, telling the patient's family to use these things to solve their family's illness. It's no wonder that cheese is treated that way.

"I used these knives to save a country plague-plagued. Cheese almost gritted his teeth, knowing that he had never been treated like this when the Greylion was curing the rat-man plague. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the people of the blue lion did not regard the nezumi as human beings at that time, and if the mage had dissected the corpse of a human-looking person with a normal appearance at that time, I am afraid that he would not have been treated much better.

In response to the mage's rebuttal, the proprietress chose to turn away, and the most she had heard in this tavern was the braggadocio of the drinkers. She heard more than anyone else about dragons in the mountains, gold in tree trunks, or fairies in the forests. In her opinion, Cheese may have been a cultured doctor, and perhaps some prestige in some regions. But to save a country from the plague on your own?

Not only did she think so, but her companions at the table with Cheese also showed slightly embarrassed expressions. Among the two of them and one cat, only Atta has indeed been to the Greylion, and she has not been in the Greylion for a long time, although she has heard some rumors about the mage, but those contents have long been fermented into all kinds of grotesque and bizarre theories. Besides, not many people know what Cheese did in the rat-man plague. The mage himself was quick to notice this, and he took a deep breath and stopped complaining. Cheese weakly cut the bread in front of him with a knife and fork, and changed the subject, "How about you go to the blacksmith shop in the afternoon?"

"It's a bit of a hassle. Jian Qi glanced at Atta, and after confirming that the other party didn't explain what he meant first, he frowned slightly and said, "The situation we encountered in the blacksmith shop is similar to yours. The shop was run by a father and son, the father was groggy all day, and the son was distraught because of it. Actually, it's okay, I still know some rough blacksmithing skills, and I can make suitable shoes by relying on the things in the blacksmith shop. It's just that the father and son are unwilling to lend the workshop on the grounds of our origins. We tried to persuade with good words, but they were very adamant. Like I said before, we are not welcome in this town. ”

As for the attitude towards outsiders in Jiefa Town, the Sword Seeker had indeed reminded him that he had chosen to camp outside the town because of this. It was not unreasonable to say that they should leave sooner rather than later, that there was really nothing worth their stay in the town, and that the more they stayed here, the more uncomfortable the atmosphere of decay and the hostility of the townspeople to outsiders permeated the town. This time Cheese sighed and did not express an opinion.

"Please don't be so arbitrary. The female swordsman looked at Kenqi, she was actually a little surprised by the other party's words, in the afternoon the sword-seeker showed humility and even humility towards the irascible blacksmith's son, she thought that Kenqi would try to convince the other party again the next day. I didn't expect the sword seeker to come back at night, but he immediately suggested that a few people leave. She couldn't figure out this person anymore.

Jian Qi blinked when he heard Atta's words, not being unhappy by being refuted, he looked at the female swordsman, "What do you mean, girl?"

"They resist us because of fear, and they are living in fear right now. Something in the town is hurting them. As long as we disperse those things, I don't think the people here will be like this. Perhaps thinking of what had happened on the prairie, or perhaps out of confidence in himself and his companions, Atta said this with confidence.

"This..."Jian Qi didn't expect the other party to say this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's it, it's okay." Since you have the heart to help others, I am willing to go with you. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions. Even if we wanted to help, the people here wouldn't even let us see the patients. You can't really solve a problem without looking at it holistically. Cheese put down his knife and fork and gave his opinion. When he met Bunyan in the afternoon, he made it clear that he wanted to help the town, and the question was whether the other party wanted to accept it.

So the problem goes back to the beginning, the town is separated by a transparent wall for this team from the outside, and they can't really go deep without a chance to break it. The atmosphere at the table was gloomy, and several people, including the cat fairy, silently solved the food in front of them and stopped talking. They were all thinking, thinking about what they could do in this matter.

"Have you noticed," Jian Qi suddenly raised his head and looked at the other two, "The father of the shopkeeper of this shop, has he slept too long?"

Almost as soon as he said this, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from the room behind the counter.
