Chapter 396
“The Great Sage in the village, Claremont, he’s a liar, I’m sure of that!”
The village chief was sitting behind his desk, spitting as he spoke because of his emotions Let Donald subconsciously turn to the left sideways.
This resentment doesn’t seem small.
“Can you tell me in detail?”
Anthony answered in a timely manner.
“Please rest assured, I am not slandering him out of thin air. Through our private evidence collection, we have confirmed several facts.”
Listening to this tone, you should It is fully prepared, and Donald is also interested in what this Great Sage, which is highly regarded by the villagers, looks like.
“Claremont once said that he was from Delchimo in the east, which is your destination, because that city is a religious area, so he was influenced by religion since he was a child… Facts That’s not the case. I have commissioned a commissioner to investigate Delchimo, and some of the architectural scenes and local customs he said about Delchimo are full of loopholes.”
“He said that he was a harvest and hunter. The god Timorah is the agent of the human world, but we have searched the records of the orthodox religion in the empire, and there is simply no such religion, let alone this god named Timorah, I think this is just his personal imagination An image came out. He used his own image as Divine Idol to ask the villagers to make wooden sculptures for daily prayers. Several of them came from big cities, and they should also know that this is simply an extremely absurd behavior!”
“Claremont has a lot of abnormal actions. Every time when the festivals of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter seasons, according to the rules he proposed that night, we must celebrate until the early morning of the second day, and I and I The deputy village chief once observed his behavior. The ceremony started at 10 o’clock. After he prayed as the Great Sage, he would be disappeared. I asked him where he was going, and his answer was to communicate with God alone, but in fact He left the village and doesn’t know where to go.”
“By the way, there is one more thing, I wonder if a few people noticed the houses under construction when they entered the village. Those are said to be for future newcomers. The believers in the village prepared it, because the Great Sage predicted that more people would join our village in the future… Think about it, how could this kind of thing be predicted?”
One Each and every one, the village chief said it in great detail, for fear that Donald and a few people would not understand.
“Then why don’t you expose him?”
Donald listened to the village chief’s clear and logical words, as if he had already determined the identity of the other party. If so, why bother? How many people do you talk to and listen to?
As Donald asked this question, both the village chief and the deputy chief were speechless.
“Alas…because the villagers didn’t believe us at all…they always felt that the deputy village chief and I had been studying in Beluye City for a while, so we had to be with us.
” Their ideas are different. I have to admit that there is indeed a problem in this regard, because the two of us are used to going out as gentlemen, didn’t expect the most common thing in Beluye City to be put into this village, but it has become a problem. The main reason for being seen.”
The village chief’s face was a little ugly, as the chief of a village, he could not gain the love and trust of the people, there is nothing more humiliating than this.
“Actually, they completely misunderstood us. Since we manage this village, how can we not think about them? But they rejected us just because of the initial impression, which led to some of our plans. It couldn’t be implemented at all, and as a result, we got a name of incompetence. We don’t mind just this name, but this kind of behavior of Claremont is really bad. We are afraid that if we let him continue to behave like this, It is very likely to cause some irreversible consequences, when the time comes is beyond regret!”
This remark said the devotion to righteousness that inspires reverence, completely shaping himself to be not afraid of gossip , the image of a single-minded desire for the well-being of the village.
Donald pursed his lips. In fact, the question of these two people can be seen at a glance.
Conflict of ideas.
Looking at the outfits of the two of them and the layout of the house, you can tell that they have never regarded themselves as members of the village, and their plan is to stay in the study for two people. thought out.
It’s no wonder that the villagers don’t like to see them. Who wants two people who dress up as gentlemen all day and put on a superior face to instruct themselves to do things.
What if they didn’t mean it?
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional.
This kind of dissatisfaction has accumulated for a long time, and now a Great Sage close to their lives suddenly appears. With a sharp contrast, it is naturally more cordial, plus the fame brought by the so-called Divine Vestige for a period of time Accumulation, the village head and deputy village head who should be in charge of the affairs of the village are gradually oversold. It is also a natural thing.
“You two mean that you want us to expose his deception?”
Anthony finally understood what they meant.
“Yes, that’s it, we want to save these villagers, they can’t be fooled by this false god anymore, you are outsiders, well-dressed and armed, it’s easier for them to believe than us …of course, this is paid, and if I can successfully expose Claremont, I am willing to personally give a few 5 gold pounds.”
The village chief obviously took Donald and several others seriously. As an ordinary mercenary, the price of 5 gold pounds is not cheap for an ordinary person, but for them, it is really nothing.
Anthony glanced back at Donald, which meant he was ready to refuse.
To intervene in this kind of thing with their current ability is actually like an adult participating in a fight with a little child. If you win, you will not be ashamed. If your identity is fake, but you are really good for the villagers. Sage, when the time comes they can still fight against the entire village and forcefully drive people out?
However, Donald raised his hand and pressed it down.
“What if we still can’t convince the villagers that Claremont is fake?”
Donald took the initiative and said.
“This…”
The village chief hesitated. It was obvious that he actually wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it.
“The village chief said it clearly, we are mercenaries, we recognize money, but not people.”
Added with a smile.
“I think if he doesn’t repent, then as the village chief of this village, I have the obligation to expel him completely. You can rest assured that some of his actions have actually been… It’s not impossible to use coercive measures against her because she violated the laws of the empire.”
The meaning of these words is actually very clear.
“Okay, we’ve taken this mission, I hope Mr. Village Chief will keep his word.”
Fingering on his pocket watch, Donald made an unexpected decision, Anthony and Steffen Nidu cast a suspicious look at him.
But since Donald made a decision, they didn’t say much, then chatted with the village chief for a few more words and then came out of the house.
“Donald, I support your decision, but can you explain it?”
Anthony didn’t want to refute Donald, just wanted to understand why.
“Claremont Great Sage, this person is definitely not ordinary. Do you remember the wood carvings I picked up by the river before, the rays of light after pouring water, I have seen it with my own eyes, and I have no means to do it. If he can’t do this step, and he can make the whole village love him and protect him, this is a remarkable thing in itself.”
I just asked the village chief, the residence of Great Sage. Somewhere, Donald was walking there with a few people, and he was very interested in this person.
“What if when the time comes really can’t expose him…kill?”
Stephanie is more concerned about killing or not.
“Whether or not to kill 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 the village chief Obviously, it’s not a good thing. The safety of the villagers may be one of the reasons. I think it’s more that he can’t accept that his power is deprived. If the latter is the main reason, then he can’t fully believe what he said. .”
The village chief had obvious hatred when he commented on Claremont, and if he pressed the button, it would be unjust, there is no doubt about that.
“How is the Donald big brother going to expose the Great Sage?”
The past few days, Julia, who has gradually integrated into the group, has begun to gradually participate. Originally, only Donald , Anthony, Stephanie three-way dialogue.
As for Lilo…she understands, but doesn’t want to say it.
“How to expose it? Of course, ask directly. I have a Stephanie here. There is no need to play tricks with him. If he is lying to us, we will know in a few words.”
p>
Unconsciously, the hidden strength of Donald’s team has been quite terrifying. Three Awakening Level powerhouses, a stranger with special ability and strong auxiliary ability, a cat who really fights with the level of Authority Level wizard, and even Even the weakest Julia is accompanied by a guardian ghost with unknown abilities.
The other party is just a Great Sage nesting in the countryside, how strong can it be?
In front of the only church in the village, there are a lot of villagers gathered here at this time, some are helping to clean the floor, some are cleaning the windows with rags, and some are using feather dusters to lift the eaves spider The web’s…
“This is the gap, a Great Sage that may be a liar, so many people can come to help clean up and decorate the facade during the winter festival, on the other hand, the real The village chief’s mansion is very difficult, is it important to be a man to do this?”
Donald looked at the obviously more rustic church in front of him.. …. It is not so much a church, but it is more like a place for spiritual beliefs built by the villagers together.
Around the people who were helping outside, Donald walked into the church and saw the old man in gray robe who was standing in front of the stage, bending over and wiping the wooden statue.
“Is that the Great Sage Lord Claremont?”
Donald asked aloud.
“I’m not a Great Sage, I’m just a devout servant of God. You can call me by my name.”
The old man turned around and kept it clean and tidy He has a long beard, kind eyes, and a natural affinity on his face.
“I’m from Beiruye City. I just had a conversation with the village chief. Are you the real Great Sage?”
He gestured to Stephanie with his eyes, and then The author nodded said that he was already monitoring, and Donald’s question was simple and straightforward.
“Does it matter if it’s true or false?”
Claremont’s words were exactly the same as what Donald said before entering the door.
