"Hey, Donald, when I saw that man enter the door just now, the store manager's expression was a little ugly."

Walking on the street, Stephanie tugged Donald's sleeve and said in a low voice, she was standing relatively inside, and her vision just covered the counter.

"angry?"

Donald was thinking about why the mayor of this village was looking for them, and at first he was a little puzzled by what Stephanie said.

"It should be said to be disgusting. It's like seeing a dirty beggar walking into the house. He doesn't seem to welcome the deputy village chief."

Stephanie was as sensitive as ever to emotions. The person who came to invite them just now was the deputy head of the village, who should be respected by the people in the village. However, looking at the reaction of the store manager at the time, it was obvious that something was wrong.

"Not welcome...I think I know why."

Playing with the pocket watch in his hand, Donald pursed his lips and said.

"You just met for the first time, you know?"

"Look at the deputy village chief's clothes, you found nothing."

He took a step back to ensure that his voice would not be heard by the deputy village chief who was talking to Anthony. Anthony was the oldest in the group, so the deputy village chief subconsciously regarded him as the leader of the team. Donald did not refute, but deliberately asked Anthony to negotiate.

"Isn't it normal attire?"

Stephanie looked up and down several times, a brown coat, trousers of the same color, leather boots, palms, and a silk top hat, the standard gentleman's dress, the streets of Tallinn in Demingham are full of men in this dress .

"In Demingham, it was pretty normal at the time, but don't forget, it's a small mountain village, and it's like... a pheasant with peacock feathers walking around in a flock of poultry. , can you understand?"

"Pu Chi, if people hear your metaphor, they shouldn't come and fight with you?"

Stephanie can't help laughing at Donald's sudden metaphor, but I have to say, it's a very vivid metaphor.

This kind of dress of the deputy village chief obviously has received a certain education. For him, wearing this way is what a gentleman should be in when he goes out, but for these villagers who are accustomed to casual clothes, this way of dressing Obviously a little out of touch with the masses.

Of course, this may be just one of the reasons, after all, just because the clothes are not the same, there will be no such reaction.

All the way to the house where the village chief lives, the appearance of the outside is no different from the surrounding houses. Like this kind of village, naturally there will be no government office buildings.

"Everyone, please come in."

The deputy village chief stood at the door, turned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Before entering the door, Donald's eyes first stayed on the beams and pillars outside for a while. The wheat ears inserted on the top were not full enough, and the animal skins on the door were obviously nailed at random. The ordinary houses on the roadside are even worse.

When he walked in, the first thing Donald saw was the umbrella bucket and coat hanger in the corner, as well as the shoe rack on the other side.

Judging from such a perfunctory attitude towards the two items of the winter festival, the village chief is opposed to the **** of harvest and hunting. Judging from the furniture at the door, the village chief should have lived in a city in a non-belief area. a period of time.

These are the two messages Donald got in a short period of time.

They finally met the village chief in a somewhat humble study.

Of course, the simplicity here is relative. For Donald, who used to sit in the study of Shelley's ancestral villa, this study with a total area of ​​only 20 square meters is really a bit shabby, but for this village It is said that this should be the place with the richest collection of books.

"My lord, Lang Ferro Eddie, the village chief of Ferro Village."

It was the village chief who introduced himself first, and then Donald and his party.

While speaking, Donald was also looking at the village chief.

At a glance, you can tell that it is a well-groomed hairstyle, and there is obviously a lot of effort to have a mustache. The village chief is dressed in a black formal dress, which is most of the time in Demingham. It is only worn when attending important occasions. If it is spread out on weekdays, it will be said to be a rigid person who will not relax.

"Is there something you came to us for?"

It was Anthony who spoke, there was no way, his current role was the leader of their group, so naturally he had to speak.

"I just wanted to meet a few people. I heard from the villagers that they came from the south. Looking at their clothes and the carriage full of goods, they should have come from Beiruye City?"

When the village chief spoke, his eyes swept obscurely at the double-edged frost and flames hanging on Anthony's waist and the long sword in Lilo's hand.

Donald saw it in his eyes and communicated with Anthony with mental power.

"Yes, in fact, we are a team of mercenaries from Beluye City. Our destination is Delchimo. We happened to pass through this village and picked up a wooden sculpture that is said to be the **** of harvest and hunting. We were invited over. of."

From the mayor's eyes, he obviously cared about Anthony and Lilo's weapons, and it could be said that he cared about their combat effectiveness, so Donald simply asked Anthony to change his mind.

"Oh, so that's the case. In fact, I used to study in Beluye City for a few years. The roasted whole sheep over there is something I've been thinking about, but some of them are mercenaries... and have children. ? Sorry, no offense."

When he heard that it was a mercenary, the village chief's eyes lit up immediately, but he didn't say it clearly, and deliberately pretended to "inquire" casually.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the people sitting in front of him were shrewd, and one of them was a stranger who could detect emotions.

"Don't underestimate them, they are all capable."

Donald took over the conversation and gave Lilo a look. The latter stood up and drew his sword. The neat movement and the whistling sound of the blade breaking through the air immediately shocked the village chief.

"Master, UU reading www.uukanshu.com coffee is ready."

A woman came in through the door with a large plate in her hand. In addition to the dishes, there was also a china vase. It was the first time Donald had seen such a utensil for serving coffee.

In fact, it is relatively rare to drink coffee in such a rural place, and finely ground coffee is not cheap.

"I see that the village chief specially received us. He should not only want to know us, right? I like to be more relaxed. If there is anything, please ask the village chief to tell me."

Anthony glanced at Donald, gestured with his eyes, turned his head, and directly confronted the village chief.

They don't have so much free time to waste time with people here.

"This... Actually, I want you to do me a favor and expose a liar!"

The village chief gritted his teeth, but still revealed his true purpose.

Don't think about it, this liar must be the great sage.
