The brainwashing done by the Church was so intense that even when he was offering these people a helping hand, they were still thinking that it was a trick. That made the situation a little difficult.
Luckily, their desperation to save their families seemed to overpower their mentality towards mages.
"But... I can’t care about all of this anymore. If I really have to surrender my soul, then let me go to hell! I… I want to save my child..."

"You... Can you really heal everyone here?"
Benjamin nodded.
Of course, the village was bound to have some stubborn people. Most of them were elderly men who stared at Benjamin with their eyes full of fear. They turned to their fellow villagers in anger.
