Chapter: 4

"Because they don't know whether they should believe what you said." The middle-aged man named Pierre smiled proudly, "Your sister's favorite story to tell children is 'Wolf is coming', she is always a liar Definitely lose credit."

"Okay." Lumian shrugged his shoulders, watching the bartender push a glass of light green wine in front of him.

Ryan looked at him and asked:

"May I?"

"No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to pay for the wine." Lumian didn't care.

"Then have another cup of 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded.

Pierre suddenly smiled:

"Generous stranger, this kid is the most prankster in the village, you must stay away from him.

"Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aurora, and he never left again. You think, before that, he was only thirteen years old, how could he go to the hospital to be a corpse keeper? Well, it's the closest to us. The hospital at the foot of the mountain is in Daliege, and it takes a whole afternoon to walk.”

"Bring it back to the village?" Liya asked sharply.

She turned her head slightly, making a tinkling sound.

Pierre nodded:

"Aurora moved here six years ago. A year later, she went out and brought this kid back. She said she picked it up on the road. He was a vagrant who was about to starve to death and planned to adopt him.

"Then, he took the surname 'Li' from Aurora, and even the name 'Lumian' was also taken by Aurora."

"I forgot what it was originally called." Lumian said with a smile after taking a sip of absinthe.

It seemed that he was not at all inferior or ashamed of his past being exposed like this.

"Sorry, I didn't know that would be the case." Ryan apologized politely to Lumian.

Lumian smiled "hehe" and said:

"Is it worth another glass of 'Green Fairy'?"

Before Ryan could answer, he changed the subject:

"Outlanders, what do you come to Kordu to buy wool and leather?"

Many residents of Kordu make a living by shepherding sheep.

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief silently, seized this opportunity and said:

"We came to visit the priest Guillaume Bennet of the Church of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' in your village, but he is neither at home nor in the church."

"Needless to say which church it belongs to, there is only one church in Kordu." Pierre, who drank Ryan's free absinthe, kindly reminded him.

The other locals around the bar were drinking their own wine, and no one answered Ryan's question. It seemed that the name represented some kind of taboo or authority and could not be discussed casually.

Lumian took a sip of wine, thought for a few seconds and said:

"I can probably guess where the priest is. Do you need me to take you there?"

"Then I will trouble you." Liya was not polite.

Ryan followed and nodded:
