According to these people, they came out to search for nearby terrain. After all, during the retreat, the mayor of Sweetwater Town had ordered all nearby entrances to be blown up. Therefore, although the food reserves were still sufficient, they still needed to find exits in advance.

, wait until spring arrives and go out to seek help. However, these townspeople never expected to encounter cavemen in the caves. They usually do not go so deep into the caves to get water, so they never know what is in the depths of the caves.

.If Cheese and the others had not arrived in time this time, I am afraid that not only would these people have been wiped out, but it would also be only a matter of time before the cavemen followed the path they came from and found the whereabouts of the refugees in Sweetwater Town.

But even so, these rescued people were still wary of the group of people, or in other words, they showed strong uneasiness about the existence of cheese. They even intentionally or unintentionally encouraged the rest of the people to abandon them while leading the way.

Exit the mage. Their reaction made the five of them very confused. No matter how bad the reputation of the spell caster is, but Cheese just saved these people's lives, why are they still so hostile to me? Even Elsa is worried

After failing to persuade him for the first time, he gave up explaining to these people and could only whisper to the other three people to vaguely separate the mage from the townspeople and protect them.

In such a weird atmosphere, a group of people quickly arrived at the cave where the residents of Sweetwater Town were. It was a cave the size of two football fields, with a clear stream flowing through the center of the cave and winding into the distance.

Under the rock wall. The people of Sweetwater Town set up a simple camp here. The fire pots and torches kept the lighting of the cave at an acceptable brightness. The cold wind blowing from time to time also proved that there was no problem with the air quality in the cave.

, with clean water and sufficient supplies, this camp can indeed last a long time.

The return of the team soon caused a commotion in the camp. The people in the camp opened the wooden gate to let the group enter the camp. Based on the size of the camp and the density of the houses, Cheese judged that there were approximately 100 residents from Sweetwater Town who retreated here.

There are about two to three hundred people. This number is basically equal to the permanent population of Sweetwater Town that Jack mentioned before. It seems that the mystery of the empty town has been solved.

The five people who suddenly appeared quickly became the focus of the camp, especially after the rescued people told their experiences. Cheese and others were also treated like heroes. But the mage was keenly aware that the onlookers

In the crowd, no one dared to keep their eyes on themselves for more than three seconds. Some people accidentally met the mage's eyes and quickly looked away, as if the mage's gaze would turn them to stone. The townspeople

They were praising the brave behavior of the five people and cheering for these heroes who saved themselves, but Cheese could not feel any joy in the cheers of these people. They made him feel like those in a third-rate theater troupe.

A lousy actor who can only read his lines.

"There is something wrong with these townspeople." The landlady also whispered in the mage's ear.

Soon, the noise of people alerted the mayor of Sweetwater Town, who warmly received Cheese and his party. This was also the first time that Cheese saw this nobleman named Bender. The mayor is about as tall as

Cheese was about the same age. He looked about forty or fifty years old. He was wearing a well-dressed hunting suit made of ordinary materials and had a mustache. He separated from the crowd and walked up to the five people, bowed deeply and said.

"Thank you to the brave warriors for saving the residents of Sweetwater Town. I, Mayor Bender of Sweetwater Town, welcome you on behalf of all the townspeople."

"This is what we should do. Don't be polite, Mr. Mayor. Besides, we also have many questions to ask you." Cheese walked up to the mayor and said.

"I think some of you are tired from the journey and must be hungry. Although we have fled here, luckily we are not short of supplies. I hope you warriors will not find it objectionable. I have arranged food and lodging for you. As for your questions, I will definitely

Tell me everything you know." Mayor Band said, making an inviting gesture towards 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 Sweetwater Town, but in order to welcome the arrival of Cheese and the others, several tables in the hall have been put together, and a banquet has been set on them. After everyone took their seats, Ban

Mayor De raised his glass and planned to start the banquet with a toast. However, no one from Cheese and others responded. They sat silently in their seats and looked at the mayor. Compared with the food in front of them, they hoped that the mayor would

Chang Neng first answered their questions along the way. The mayor held the cup awkwardly for a few seconds, and he understood that these people would not be easily ignored.

"Okay then, it seems I have to answer your confusion first." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, the mayor waved his hand to signal the waiter to leave.

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

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

"Really? But my companion told me that you are not the mayor of Sweetwater Town, at least, not the mayor of Bender." Cheese continued. On the way before, "Monkey" had told them some things about the mayor of Sweetwater Town.

Information, but the Mayor Bender in front of him is far from what Jack described. At least in Jack's description, the mayor of Sweetwater Town is not over thirty-five years old, and he is a typical young and promising person.

.

"Haha, what about this... It seems that some of them have been to Sweetwater Town before. But unfortunately, I am really Mayor Bender." The mayor said.

"Impossible, Mayor Bender took office when he was twenty-five years old, and his current term is less than ten years. How could you be him?" Jack said loudly.

"Oh, indeed, I am only thirty-three years old this year, at least two months ago." The mayor said, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a mixture of anger, helplessness, and sadness.

Complex expressions.

"What do you mean by that?" the female warrior frowned.

"What do you mean? Instead of asking me, why don't you ask the mage who is following you? I am now like this because of his peers!" Mayor Band suddenly said excitedly. The other four

People's eyes naturally turned to cheese, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

The mage was slightly startled 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 a red light began to emit from his eyes. Cheese

His eyes changed. Under the red eyes, everyone felt like they had been stripped naked. It seemed that they had no secrets left in front of the mage. Fortunately, Cheese's eyes were mainly focused on the town. He stared at

The mayor looked at it for about ten seconds, and the red light in his eyes gradually dimmed. His expression was unprecedentedly serious, and even his breathing sped up a few beats.
