Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 293 The Oral Truth

"The beginning of a beautiful day!" Stannis stretched comfortably in the sun, as if everything that happened last night had nothing to do with him.

"Good day, Stan." Amin, who was busy in the kitchen, shouted enthusiastically. It seemed that the Bright Pumpkin Festival would continue for a while, but Stannis found that he had become addicted to the pumpkins here. Things always feel dull.

The guest sat down pretending nothing happened, and Duo'er, who was like a dementia, was still sitting opposite him. He even suspected that the woman had been sitting in this position all night.Stannis took some pumpkin sticks and asked casually, "Where were you last night?"

"Oh, I called the mayor last night and asked if I could recruit more people to our town when I go out next week. You also know that our place is too remote and no one comes. The people in the town alone are It cannot meet the needs of farming.”

To attract foreigners?Stannis, who was chewing pumpkin sticks, stopped chewing. He remembered the ghost and what they said last night. These man-eating monsters only attack outsiders, so that even if they disappear, there will be no acquaintances. They will only be considered to have left here, and the mayor is so enthusiastic about recruiting outsiders, it is possible that he is...

"Hey, Amin, let me ask you something?"

Amin was serving a pot of hot pumpkin porridge. He put his burned hand under his earlobe and showed his white teeth, "Say."

"Your mayor, Tucker, how did he appear and take office?"

The master thought hard for a while, and then gave an affirmative answer: "He took office in the second week after the death of the sheriff, with a letter of appointment from His Royal Highness the Duke."

"What time is it?"

"Two months ago."

This happened to be the time when the goblin upstairs was attracted here, and Stannis believed that if so many coincidences came together, it was definitely not a coincidence!
After the death of the sheriff, the ghost appeared, and the core of all these events was the appearance of Mayor Tucker!Then he is very likely to be the leader of the demon ghost, even if he is not, he has a great relationship with it.

"By the way, Amin, I want to ask you one more thing."

"Hmm." Amin seemed to have acquiesced in his role as a commentator.

"How did former Sheriff Kimberley die?"

Amin was immediately stopped by his question, and then he thought that he was caught in painful memories and dared not look directly into Stannis' eyes.

"I...I dare not say..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Stannis knew there was something else hidden in it!And Amin knew a lot more, no wonder he was so scared.

Seeing his firm gaze, Amin seemed to have summoned up his courage, he took a deep breath and looked at Duoer again, as if this demented woman was his strong backing.

"Well, I'll tell you, but you may not believe what happened next, but this is what I saw with my own eyes! I just moved in two months ago, and the Sheriff of Kimberley took great care of me. Not only gave me this free house, but also gave me the daily necessities I needed. But when I came back from the outside one night, I saw him stumbling along in the rain, followed by a tall and thin man. At first I thought he was drunk, you know this kind of thing is normal, but in the end it turned out that it was not that simple, the man seemed to be whispering something next to the Kimberley Sheriff, but the Sheriff firmly disagreed, suddenly he said loudly Shout: "Don't tempt me anymore, I will never sell my soul! ", the man finally stopped talking, he just stuck out his tongue and passed through the sheriff's neck when the sheriff turned around, and then the sheriff fell into the valley as if his soul had been sucked out. Afterwards, the news that the sheriff got drunk and fell into the valley spread in this small town, but only I know that's not the truth!"

"Then have you seen the dead body?"

Amin shook his head, "I was so scared that I almost peed out, how dare I go down to confirm, not to mention that there is a river at the bottom, although the body of the county chief was not found, everyone believed that it was washed downstream .”

It turned out that no body was found, no wonder that Kimberly was able to appear in front of him, he must have been conspired by the tall and thin man to fall into the valley, but was saved by the river, presumably Kimberly, who had escaped death, sneaked into the town disguised as a beggar to Let's get revenge.

"And what about the tall, thin guy? Have you seen him again?"

As soon as A Ming heard about this guy, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked like he was about to cry, "Of course not! I've never seen that scary guy in the town again."

Maybe that guy is Tucker!After killing the sheriff and clearing the biggest obstacle to take over the town, he didn't know where to get the Duke's commission letter and turned into the mayor of Tucker to take over the entire Oak Town, making this a hunting ground for these monsters and their paradise.

Amin in front of him told Stannis the truth, which made him believe that this guy was not with the group of monsters, and he had to treat him as an ally, but before that, he decided to test him one last time.

"Amin, do you feel any difference between now and the past?"

He asked this question very thoughtlessly. If it was someone else, he would definitely laugh it off, but Amin nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, I can feel that although I haven't been here for a long time, I have enjoyed getting along with the neighbors around me, but now, I think they have become mysterious and like to spy on other people's private lives."

Stannis finally understood what the discomfort that came from the moment he stepped into this town was the anxiety of being watched by countless eyes from all directions.At first he thought it was just the people here who were too enthusiastic, but now it seems that the townspeople here still have this hobby of hunting novelties.

It seems that Amin also has doubts about the changes in this city, as expected of a human being!It's the same race!Stannis hesitated, but now he could only trust the purebred human in front of him who had been certified by Evelyn.

"Amin, what I'm going to say next may overturn your cognition, you sit down."

His serious expression made Amin feel like he was on pins and needles, and he said anxiously: "I can bear it, you tell me."

"There are many monsters lurking in your town, and they will eat you at any time." Stannis actually told the truth in short words.

Amin glanced at Duo'er on the opposite side. This simple sentence contained too much information, but unexpectedly, he nodded firmly after a few seconds, "I believe in you."

"Damn, there's no turning point at all, the plot is going too far!"

"What do you want me to do?" Amin was very conscious, and he had automatically acted as Stannis' stop.

"Speak all my lines... From today onwards, you will follow and monitor Mayor Tucker for a whole day to find out his movements. I suspect that he is inseparable from the killing of your county chief and the appearance of monsters."

Without the slightest hesitation, Amin nodded seriously, "Okay, I will definitely handle this matter well, and I must not let monsters harm Oak Town, my homeland."
