Dawn of the Ash Tower

Chapter 18 Mayor


According to these people, they came out to search for the nearby terrain. After all, the mayor of Tianshui Town had ordered to blow up all the nearby entrances when they retreated. Therefore, although the food reserves are still sufficient, they still need to find the exit in advance. , and wait until spring comes to get out and seek help.It's just that these townspeople didn't expect to meet cavemen in the cave at all, and they usually don't get water so deep in the cave, so they never know what's in the depths of the cave.This time, if Cheese and the others hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid not only these people would be wiped out, but it would only be a matter of time before the cavemen followed the way they came to find the asylum seekers in Tianshui Town.

But even so, these rescued people were still wary of the group, or in other words, they showed strong anxiety about the existence of cheese.Even in the process of leading the way, he intentionally or unintentionally encouraged the rest of the people to abandon the mage.Their reaction confuses the five of them.No matter how bad the caster's reputation is, the cheese just saved the lives of these people. Why are they still so hostile to themselves?Even Elsa gave up explaining to these people after repeated persuasion failed, and could only whisper to the other three people to faintly separate the mage from the townspeople for protection.

In such a weird atmosphere, a group of people quickly came to the cave where the townspeople of Tianshui Town were.This is a cave the size of two football fields. A clear stream flows through the center of the cave and winds to the bottom of the distant rock wall.The people of Tianshui Town set up a simple camp here. Braziers and torches kept the lighting of the cave at an acceptable brightness. The occasional cold wind also proved that the air quality in the cave was not a problem, and there was a clean water source. With sufficient material preparation, this camp can indeed last for a long time.

The team's return quickly caused commotion in the camp, and the people in the camp opened the wooden fence gate to let the group of people enter the camp.Judging by the size of the camp and the density of the houses, the cheese has about 300 residents who have retreated here from Tianshui Town.This number is basically equal to the resident population of Sweetwater Town that Jack said before. It seems that the mystery of the previous empty town has been solved.

The five people who appeared suddenly became the focus of the camp, especially after the rescued told their stories, Cheese and others were treated like heroes.But the mage was keenly aware that none of the crowd of onlookers dared to stop their eyes on him for more than three seconds. The gaze would petrify them.The townspeople are praising the brave behavior of the five people and cheering for these heroes who saved themselves, but Cheese can't feel the joy in the cheers of these people. They feel like a third-rate theater troupe to him Those crappy actors who can only read lines.

"These townspeople have problems." The proprietress also whispered in the mage's ear.

Soon, the noise of the people alarmed the mayor of Tianshui Town, and he warmly received Cheese and his party.This is also the first time cheese has seen this nobleman named Bender.The mayor's height is about the same as that of Cheese, and he looks about 50 to [-] years old. He is wearing an elegant but ordinary hunting suit and has a mustache.He separated from the crowd and walked in front of the five people, bowed deeply and said.

"Thank you to the warriors who saved the residents of Sweetwater Town. I, Bender, the mayor of Sweetwater Town, welcome you on behalf of all the townspeople."

"This is what we should do. You are welcome, Mr. Mayor. Besides, we also have a lot of questions to ask you." Cheese walked up to the mayor and said.

"I think you are exhausted from the journey, and you should be hungry. Although we have also fled here, fortunately, there is no shortage of supplies. I hope you warriors will not be disgusted. I have arranged board and lodging for you. As for the problems of you, I will definitely Tell me everything." Mayor Bender said, making a gesture of invitation to the largest building in the camp.The mage nodded and took the lead into the wooden barracks.

It seems that this building should be the temporary city hall of Tianshui Town, but in order to welcome the cheese and the others, several tables in the hall have been pieced together, and a table of banquets is set up on it.After everyone was seated, Mayor Bender raised his glass, intending to start the banquet with a toast, but no one responded from Cheese and the others. They sat silently in their seats, looking at the mayor, compared to the present They hope that the mayor can answer their questions along the way first.The mayor held his cup awkwardly for a few seconds, and he understood that these people are not so easy to be perfunctory.

"Well then, it seems that I have to answer everyone's confusion first." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, the mayor waved his hand to signal the waiter to leave.

"Okay, so the first question, who are you?" Cheese asked coldly.

"What are you talking about? I am Bender, the mayor of Tianshui Town. I think I have introduced you just now." The mayor smiled and said.His smile is a little stiff.

"Really? But my companion told me that you are not the mayor of Tianshui Town, at least, not the mayor of Bender." Cheese continued.On the previous road, "Monkey" had already told them some information about the mayor of Sweetwater Town, but the Mayor Bender in front of him was far from what Jack described. At least in Jack's description, the mayor of Sweetwater Town The longest age will not exceed 35 years old, which is a typical example of young and promising.

"Haha, this one... It seems that some of you have been to Tianshui Town before. But unfortunately, I am really Mayor Bender." The mayor said.

"Impossible, Mayor Bender took office at the age of 25, and his tenure is less than ten years now, how could you be him?" Jack said loudly.

"Oh, indeed, I am only 33 years old this year, at least two months ago." The mayor said, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a complex expression mixed with anger, helplessness, and sadness .

"What do you mean by that?" The female soldier frowned.

"What do you mean? Instead of asking me, why not ask the mage who is following you, I will become what I am now, thanks to his colleagues!" Mayor Bender said suddenly excitedly.The eyes of the other four turned to cheese naturally, all showing puzzled expressions.

The mage was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He originally thought that the mayor was someone pretending to be someone, but now it seems that things are not that simple.Cheese narrowed his eyes, and his eyes began to emit a red light.Cheese's gaze changed. Under the red gaze, everyone felt stripped naked, as if he had no secrets in front of the mage.Fortunately, Cheese's eyes were mainly focused on the town. He stared at the mayor for about ten seconds, and the red light in his eyes gradually dimmed.His expression was unprecedentedly serious, and even his breathing quickened a few beats.

"Soul absorption, it's not a mage who came to you. It's a devil."
