"Mage, we know you're kind-hearted, but the urgent matter now is to get rid of the evil spirit near the slaughterhouse!" Someone shouted.
The crowd also joined in, clamoring, "Mage, you must distinguish between the important and the trivial! You can't delay the major issue of the town for one person..."
Facing the agitated crowd, the middle-aged woman also flinched. Although she was frightened by Master Sande, she wasn't completely bewitched.
She had been 'getting Fire' for some days now, and though it might be due to evil spirits causing trouble, nothing too serious had happened.
If she asked the mage for help and something went wrong at night, Master Quan would hate her.
Rather than becoming the town's enemy, she might as well wait until tomorrow to ask the mage. After all, delaying a day wouldn't cause much trouble, the worst that could happen is staying in the temple!
