Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 290 The Ghost Among Us

Stannis still wants to ask him about Kimberly, but Mayor Tucker has left, leaving only Amin with him.

"What did he mean?" Stannis had no idea what the mayor meant by talking together.

Amin gave him a friendly smile, and then raised his head to look at the corner of the square. Following his gaze, Stannis found that there was also a group of people watching the group of happy people on the square with curious eyes. No need to think, These guys are also new outsiders.

"Who are these people?" Stannis asked curiously.

"Just like you, they are also immigrants who are attracted by Oak Town's good reputation and plan to settle here."

Stannis hastily denied, "I'm just looking for someone, I never said I would move here and settle here."

But Amin put his hand on his shoulder and said friendlyly: "Don't worry, I was hesitant like you when I first moved here, but in the end you will find that this place is simply heaven compared to the outside, believe me, in the end You won't be able to leave here either."

After speaking, Amin joined in at the warm invitation of the dancing crowd in the center of the square.

Stannis recalled what he said just now. Compared with the outside world, this place can indeed be said to be a paradise. There is no tax here, and everyone’s face is full of joy, not to mention there are delicious pumpkins. If you are not a lord If so, I will definitely devote myself to this new world of the Westland.

But I always feel that there is something wrong here, a strong sense of disobedience, as if this beautiful surface is just to hide the ghost underneath.

"Are you going to move here too?" A masculine male voice sounded from behind him, and Stannis turned around to find that a big, gruff man was looking at him.

The opponent's body was like a bear, which made him a little scared. This guy wouldn't have ill intentions for him, right?
Seeing that Stannis didn't speak, the big man knew that his image was a bit bad, so he suppressed a smile of the greatest kindness, but it only made him look even more hideous, "My name is Paul, and I'm also from outside. And my wife and my son."

Seeing that the other party was a family man, Stannis felt relieved, he was a little ashamed of his unfriendly attitude just now: "I am Stan, from Qiweini."

"Oh, so you came 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 just to move here?"

"Yeah, basically I'm just a tourist, and my Qiweini's family is very happy." How could Stannis abandon his three buddies and run here to become a commoner.

The big man was like a deflated ball, and then he said a little happily: "You are the fifth person I talked to today, and the only one who expressed that he didn't want to stay."

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

"Is there anything wrong here?" Stannis asked pretending to be strange, and he also knew that the big man had doubts about this place just like himself.

Paul glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to their chat.

"I was originally a freeman under the Lord of Burnley. Because I caused some trouble there, I could only take my family to other places to hide. I heard that this place is remote and life is good, so I brought my family here. Here, a guy named Nadega took the initiative to receive us and invited us to stay, I spent a few days here and found that it is really good, for us commoners, it can indeed be called heaven.”

"But..." Stannis said for him.

"But I always feel that this place is very evil. Although my family likes it very much, every night when I go to bed, I always dare not sleep deeply, as if someone is watching us in the dark."

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

Paul shook his head, "I've talked to them all, and they've all made up their minds to live here. The mayor named Tucker just offered me a very generous offer. We can choose any house in the town as our residence. , and everyone can be allocated 10 mu of land, and never pay land taxes and do not need to perform military service.”

Stannis opened his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "This condition is too good!" He knew that if the condition was true, it would be much more generous than the farmer attraction plan he implemented in the territory.

"Yes, it's just because it's so good. I excused myself to think about it so I didn't agree." Paul felt a little thirsty after speaking. He picked up the wooden cup from the table and handed one of them to Stannis. yellow liquid.

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

Can pumpkins still make wine?It was the first time Stannis had heard of it. He carefully took a sip of the wine and found that it was as good as other pumpkin products. This sweet secret wine can't stop after just one sip.

Stannis wiped his mouth with a lot of interest, and then remembered an important thing, "By the way, since you've arrived a long time ago, did you see a strange woman before?"

"A strange woman? What's her name and what does she look like?"

This question caught Stannis, because he didn't know what identity Anya used to come to this town this time.

"Well, maybe her name is Aya, she looks pretty..." Stannis didn't have much hope.

Sure enough, Paul shook his head saying he hadn't heard of it before, "I've never heard of this name, but speaking of beautiful women, there was indeed a woman named Angel who appeared a few days ago, but she suddenly disappeared yesterday for some unknown reason."

That must be Anya, this must be her new identity!Sure enough, she was waiting for him here, but why did she suddenly disappear on the last day of the agreed period?
With new clues, Stannis bid farewell to Paul immediately. Finding Anya is the top priority now. Could it be that she met the Laughing Man and fell into his clutches?
He found Amin, who was singing and dancing in the crowd, and the latter, who had black talent, was dancing cancan in the crowd.

"I said you played too high, don't you need to go back and take care of your patients?"

Stannis' words reminded Amin, he bid farewell to his companions, and then took Stannis out of the square.

If, at the last moment before entering the alley, if Stannis had turned his head, he would have noticed that some of the faces in the happy crowd had lost their smiles.
