"So that's the Hero?"
"Doesn't look like much, does he?"
Just like the guards, the townsfolk were unsure of what the newly summoned hero could do.
Kael kept walking without a change in his calm expression.
Did their words hurt?
Well, of course.
But he understood their situation. Just seeing the town's condition was enough to tell him how much these people had suffered. Anyone would be skeptical in this situation.
As he reached the center of the town, a tall man who looked in his mid-fifties, wearing somewhat better clothes compared to what others were wearing, rushed toward him.
"Lord Kael!"
The man exclaimed.
He extended his hand in front of Kael and said,
"I'm Tobias Erwick, the head of this town. I was informed that you would be coming to our aid. I am glad you are here.
Welcome, w-we were really looking forward to your arrival."
"Town head Tobias. It's good to meet you."
Kael greeted as he shook the man's hand.
