The shop owner explains everything to us, about what's happening inside Lamda Town.
We're quite shocked to learn that Lamda Town was actually not in danger or anything. There are fewer people here because they all went to where all of the pilgrimages go. That place was built recently and only the ones that truly devoted themselves to Auslosha Faith could get into it.
But I found it a bit weird if the reason was only this. Why wouldn't the townspeople share this with us, travelers, as I doubt there would be any harm to them by doing it. It is not like the travelers would storm in that place without any permission.
As if there's more to it... only the native townspeople had the real information. Those who like the shop owner here only get a fraction of the truth about what's happening in this town. At least that is what I believe right now.
