'But why did they lie?'
'Why is there a need to hide the fact that she came here?'
Shin was confused at the moment and many more thoughts ran into his mind. He knew that Aella was someone who couldn't freely converse with other races so she had very little chance of verbally threatening them.
So there was something else that caused them to lie. But what was that? Shin continued to question himself but he couldn't find the answer.
He had to ask them after all but for that, he had to reduce their suspicion. Yes, Shin noticed that the mages all of a sudden started to look at him with suspicious eyes.
Shin could see that the only one who had a different expression the entire time was none other than the only goblin mage with whom he had ever conversed properly. So he knew instinctively that something was definitely going on and there was something that made them reluctant or prevented them from saying the truth.
"Sigh, hear me out."
