It was currently unknown why Auriel was pale as paper and even put a very easy to see through forced smile on his face.
However, the village head who saw this didn't question it. He believed that Auriel didn't lie to him about the fiend having been killed and Archpaladin Asher was critically injured because of the fiend. It was natural for Aurieo to be worried about Asher. They were fellow clergymen after all.
Well, what Auriel said was true, the fiend was killed and Asher was critically injured before being killed by him.
There was no reason for churchmen to lie to a lowly villager like him, right?
That is why, he led Auriel to the barn where they kept the horses and handed the reins of the horses to him
"You can keep the other one, one horse is all we need," Auriel said with a pale smile and took his horse outside. Then he took a good look around the village for a second and nodded to himself with unexpected determination.
