Chapter 109: What Do You Think? Are You Willing (Part 1)
Mayor Herman realized he didn't know much about the heroes.
He thought it might be best to avoid interacting with them for now.
However, when he reached the Eastern Plains, he noticed a small house had appeared out of nowhere.
Mayor Herman clearly remembered that there hadn't been any such house when he left the town.
He walked up the hill where the house was located and saw someone standing at the door, seemingly waiting for him.
The person smiled when he saw Mayor Herman approach.
Mayor Herman was surprised by the person's appearance and instinctively smiled back.
Seeing this, Hanjun couldn't help but frown and look away.
It wasn't that he didn't want to maintain a serious demeanor; it was just that Mayor Herman's face was very off-putting.
Mayor Herman soon realized he had never seen Hanjun before.
If this person wasn't a hero, where did he come from?
"Who are you?" Mayor Herman asked, taking a step back in fear.
Hanjun had been observing the situation since the townspeople returned.
Seeing Mayor Herman patrolling and approaching his door, he knew this must be the town mayor that Owell had mentioned.
Hanjun, with his hands behind his back, replied, "I'm a relative of Father Barry. I heard he's here, so I came to this town to find him."
Mayor Herman was puzzled, "Father Barry has relatives?"
He didn't know much about Father Barry, so he was just confused.
Mayor Herman then asked, "Is this house yours? But I don't remember this house being here before."
Hanjun widened his eyes, looking completely honest, "It's a house built by the God of Light. The god saw my plight and gave me a house."
Mayor Herman almost couldn't believe his ears.
He still hadn't accepted the fact that the God of Light had awakened.
To him, the God of Light was a deity that had abandoned humanity.
The sudden appearance of the god must have some kind of scheme, though he hadn't figured it out yet.
If he found out the truth, he would expose these people immediately and make sure the people of Ulon Town saw their true colors.
Hanjun spoke so naturally as if the God of Light was himself, and building a house for himself was perfectly fine.
But Mayor Herman probably misunderstood, thinking that the heroes helped build the house.
If so many heroes followed his lead, Ulon Town would likely have to obey him in the future.
Mayor Herman had high hopes, but they were just fantasies.
He snapped back to reality and asked Hanjun, "Kid, how long have you been in Ulon Town? What changes have you noticed in the town recently?"
Mayor Herman was deceived by Hanjun's appearance and really thought he was only a 14-year-old boy, so he asked for information in a dismissive tone.
Hanjun smiled naturally and replied, "The biggest change is that the town suddenly became lively again. I'm not used to this kind of town at all."
This kid doesn't seem to welcome their return.
Mayor Herman reassured himself not to argue with a child and continued asking, "That's not what I meant. I'm asking if there were any new things before we came back."
Hanjun tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "If you're talking about new things, the heroes often went to the quarry. I don't really know what's happening there."
Mayor Herman's face changed, and he looked anxious.
His face became tense as he said, "The quarry? But aren't there wolf packs there? How could they go there? Did they discover something?"
Mayor Herman spoke in a low voice, trying to avoid telling Hanjun too much.
What he didn't realize was that Hanjun heard everything clearly.
Hanjun called out to Snowball and woke him up, saying, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Wolves? Are you talking about Snowball?"
When Mayor Herman heard himself being called, he looked up, recoiling in shock and almost falling to the ground.
His face changed as he pointed at Snowball and said, "Wolves!"
Snowball, sensing a familiar smell, growled at Mayor Herman.
It looked like he was about to charge at him with his sharp mouth ready to bite him.
Mayor Herman was terrified, unable to move his legs.
He trembled and said, "Don't, don't come closer!"
Hanjun knew this would happen.
He grabbed Snowball by the neck, rubbed his ears, and finally managed to calm Snowball down.
Seeing Snowball being held back by Hanjun, Mayor Herman finally came to his senses.
He took a few steps back, questioning, "Isn't this the wolf leader from the Eastern Plains? Why is it here? It's a man-eating wolf!"
Hanjun stood in front of him, looking down, and said, "Snowball doesn't eat people. He's a white moon wolf that specializes in dealing with demons. If you're afraid just because of this, I'm curious if you have something to hide and feel guilty."
Mayor Herman was hit by Hanjun's words.
He didn't dare to respond and ran towards his home.
Hanjun looked at Mayor Herman's reaction and asked Snowball, "Snowball, was he involved in that incident before?"
Snowball gave a low howl and rubbed against Hanjun's leg.
Hanjun understood what to do next and knew how to handle Mayor Herman.
If Mayor Herman shows any more bad behavior, he will be dealt with.
Hanjun didn't focus on this matter immediately.
When the players came back, they brought a special person with them.
It was said that this person was the boss of a bandit camp in the southern mountain, quite strong but also useful.
The players wanted to ask Hanjun how to safely make this NPC work for the ironworks.
The players were still so concerned about the ironworks.
Just for this reason, Hanjun was curious about what kind of person they had brought back.
After calming Snowball, Hanjun leisurely walked towards the quarry.
At the quarry, Butch was still bound by vines and placed on the ground by the players.
In fact, after a day and night, Butch's injuries had slowly healed.
