Leaving my servants at the inn, I started gathering information from around here, besides the dungeon I was also interested in what was happening to this region especially the ones people are now doing.
A human with a demonic face tied with a rope on a pole then burned alive in front of everyone, I asked the person watching enthusiastically.
"What are these people doing?"
"That man was the one who tied the contract with the devil, we gave him punishment."
When I asked him what he was doing? The residents shook their heads.
"Let's go, I just came to watch."
I decided not to ask any more then continued my journey back, before a knight called me from behind with his entourage.
"You there, you're a newcomer?"
"Ah yes."
"I'm warning you that if you contract with the devil, we're not reluctant to kill you."
"I'm just a casual traveler, so what do those contract binders do?"
Again they do not know, killing someone for no apparent reason is a stupid thing that mankind does.
Different from before I said further questions to get the answer after giving a bag of money on one of them.
After listening to it I stayed in an alley to think about it.
Two years ago there was an outbreak of a natural disaster involving a part of the affected villages, they demanded help on the king's side, but the aid never came until about 10,000 people died of starvation or were eaten by wild animals.
Some of the surviving people began to unite themselves to destroy this kingdom by binding a contract with the demons of the underworld, the result is still the war continues.
To prove the existence of the kingdom, prisoners of war were sent to various cities in the region and then burned to show it to the people hiding in the city.
What an inhumane thing it is, those who sell their souls to the devil for the justice they desire or those from the kingdom who cover their sins by casting blame on their enemies, which of the two is right? Or maybe both are wrong?
I don't know.
All I know is that this kingdom will soon be destroyed and until then I want to leave this kingdom as soon as possible. When I got out of the alley my sight caught something interesting .
She has blonde hair and looks to be around 15 years old.
"What are you doing, he's just a human being.why none of you saved him."
"He's the devil, he deserves it."
"Then what did they do to us?"
Everyone is silent.
The knights who were listening started moving through the crowd, at the same time I ran then jumped in front of the young man and took him away.
"What are you doing?"
"The knights are chasing you, come with me."
I dragged him into a bar where it was filled with visitors who were all muscular men, the two of us hiding under the bartender's desk.
"Sorry miss I'm hitching a ride here for a while."
The knights went inside the bar then looked around before finally deciding to come back out.
"Find them there."
"Good."
Neither me nor the young man came out of the table.
"You're brave enough to try to fight them."
"I just want to get justice."
"What's your name?"
"Theo."
I think this kingdom still has hope.
