"The great sage in the village, Claremont, he's a liar, I'm sure of that!"

The village chief was sitting behind the desk. Because of his emotional excitement, the spittle that flew across the room caused Donald to turn to the left subconsciously.

This resentment does not seem small.

"Can you elaborate?"

Anthony answered promptly.

"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, he should be fully prepared, and Donald is also interested. What does this great sage who is highly regarded by the villagers look 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... This is not the case, I commissioned a person to go there. Delchmo has investigated, and some of the architectural scenes and local customs he said about Delchmo are full of loopholes."

"He said that he was the human agent of Timora, the **** of harvest and hunting, but we scoured the records of the orthodox religion in the empire, and there was no such religion at all, let alone this one named Timora. God, I think this is just an image of his own imagination. He used his image as a **** statue and asked the villagers to make wooden carvings to pray every day. Several of them came from big cities. You should also know that this is a kind of Extremely absurd behavior!"

"Claremont has a lot of abnormal actions. Every time there are festivals in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, according to the rules he proposed that night, we must celebrate until the early morning of the next day, and the deputy village chief and I have observed his behavior. Behavior, the ceremony starts at 10 o'clock, he will disappear after praying as a great sage, I once asked him where to go, his answer is to communicate with God alone, but in fact he left the village, I don't know whereabouts."

"By the way, there is one more thing. I wonder if a few people noticed the houses being built when they entered the village. Those are said to be prepared for the believers who will enter the village in the future, because the great sage predicted that there will be more and more houses in the future. Many people joined our village... Think about it, how could this kind of thing be predicted?"

One by one, one by 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 in a straightforward manner, as if he had already determined the identity of the other party. In this case, why did he want to talk to a few of them?

As Donald asked this question, whether it was the village chief or the deputy village chief, he was speechless for a while.

"Alas...because the villagers don't believe us at all...they always feel that the deputy village head and I have been studying in Beluye City for a while, so we have different ideas from their ideas. Admit it, there is indeed a problem in this regard, because the two of us are used to going out as gentlemen, and I didn’t expect that the most common things in Beluye City would become the main reason for being unpopular in this village.”

The village chief's face was a little ugly. As the chief of a village, he couldn't get the love and trust of the people. There is nothing more shameful 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 made some of our plans impossible to implement at all. We don't mind the title of incompetence alone, but this kind of behavior of Claremont is really bad. We are afraid that if we let him continue to act like this, it is very likely to cause some unreasonable consequences. The consequences of redemption will be beyond repentance at that time!"

The righteousness of these words is awe-inspiring, and he has completely portrayed himself as an image that is not afraid of gossip and wants to benefit the village.

Donald pursed his lips. In fact, the problem between the two can be seen at a glance.

Conflict of ideas.

Looking at the clothes of the two and the layout of the house, you can tell that they have never regarded themselves as members of the village, and their plans are estimated to have been thought of by the two of them staying in this study.

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 do it on purpose?

He does not mean that.

This kind of dissatisfaction has accumulated for a long time, and now a great sage who is close to their lives suddenly appears. With a sharp contrast, he naturally feels more cordial, and coupled with the accumulation of fame brought about by the so-called miracles over a period of time, he should be in charge of the village. It is also natural that the village chief and deputy village chief of affairs are gradually eschewed.

"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 no longer be fooled by this false god, you are outsiders, well-dressed, and equipped with weapons, it is easier for them to believe than us... Of course, this is paid, if I can successfully expose Claremont, I am willing to give a few 5 gold pounds privately."

The village chief obviously regarded Donald and the others as ordinary mercenaries. The price of 5 gold pounds was not cheap for ordinary people, but for them, it was nothing.

Anthony glanced back at Donald, his eyes meant to say no.

Using their current ability to intervene in this kind of thing is actually like an adult participating in a child's fight. It's not a shame to win. If their identity is fake, but they are really good sages for the villagers, then they will still be. Can you fight against the entire village and forcefully expel people?

However, Donald raised his hand and pressed it down.

"And what if we still can't convince the villagers that Claremont is fake?"

Donald took over the conversation and took the initiative to speak.

"This......"

The village chief hesitated, but 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."

He added with a smile.

"I think if he does not 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 violated the laws of the empire. It is not impossible to use coercive measures.”

The meaning of these words is actually very clear. If the disclosure fails, then force the action and kill him!

"Okay, we've taken over this task. I hope Mr. Village Chief will keep his word."

Fingers rubbed against his pocket watch, Donald made an unexpected decision, and both Anthony and Stephanie gave him suspicious looks.

But since Donald made a decision, they didn't say much, then chatted a few more words with the village chief and came out of the house.

"Donald, I support your decision, but can you explain it?"

Anthony wasn't trying to refute Donald, he just wanted to understand why.

"The great sage of Claremont, this person is definitely not ordinary. Do you remember the wood carvings I picked up by the river before? The light after pouring water, I have seen it with my own eyes, there is no means to do this step, and He can make the whole village love him and protect him, which is a remarkable thing in itself."

I just asked the village chief where the Great Sage's residence is. Donald is walking there with a few people. He is very interested in this person.

"If you really can't expose him...kill?"

Stephanie is more concerned about killing or not.

"Killing or not 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 is obviously not a good person. The safety of the villagers may be one of the reasons, I think it is more because he cannot accept that his power is deprived. If the latter is the main reason, then his words cannot be fully believed."

There was no doubt that the village chief had an obvious hatred when he commented on Claremont.

"Then how is Big Brother Donald going to expose the Great Sage's face?"

Julia, who has gradually integrated into the group these days, has begun to gradually participate in the dialogue between Donald, Anthony, and Stephanie.

As for Lilo... she understood, but didn'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. Whether he is lying to us, we will know in a few words."

Before you know it, the hidden strength of Donald's team is already quite terrifying. Three awakening-level powerhouses, a stranger with special abilities and quite strong auxiliary abilities, and a cat who really fights at the level of a powerful wizard. Julia, who seems to be the weakest, is accompanied by a guardian ghost with unknown abilities.

The other party is just a great sage nestled in the countryside, how strong can he be?

Before I came to the only church in the village, there were many villagers gathered here at this time, some were helping to clean the floors, some were cleaning the windows with rags, and some were using feather dusters to pick up the spider webs on the eaves... .

"This is the difference, a great sage who 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 village chief's mansion is very difficult to do. For the sake of it, is it true or false, does it matter?"

Donald looked at the church in front of him, which was obviously more rustic and simple... Not so much a church~lightnovelpub.net~, it was more like a spiritual belief built by the villagers together. place.

Bypassing 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.

"Excuse me, is it the great sage, Your Excellency Claremont?"

Donald asked aloud.

"I'm not a great sage, just a pious servant of God. You can call me by my name."

The old man turned around, neatly groomed with a long beard, kind eyes, and a natural affinity on his face.

"I'm from Beiluye City. I just had a conversation with the village chief. Are you really a great sage?"

She gestured to Stephanie with her eyes, and the latter nodded to indicate that she was already monitoring, and Donald's question was simple and straightforward.

"True or false, does it matter?"

Claremont's words were exactly the same as what Donald said before entering the door.
