After coming from the city of Puta, I decided to visit a little village across the forest filled with very high grass...
And apparently before I approached the forest, it had already entered the territory of Baronet Muno...
There seemed to be an army garrison in the gap slightly ahead....
There were 20 soldiers with levels ranging from 3-7...
Out of the place was a flat plain with mountains and small forests sporadically located...
This area is wider than Elarldom Kuhanou...
However, the entire population is only about 40000, about 1/3 of the Labyrinth city...
There was only one big city in the Baronet region, while the rest were only small villages with less than 1000 people each...
The town where Baronet lived was inhabited by 20,000 people and was apparently called Muno city....
In that Muno city, there was a demon with Level 30...
Hiding in the city means maybe doing something suspicious...
Since it seems troublesome, I will stay as far away from it as possible...
But, I've heard rumors that say that the demon that has crossed the world is the executive class...?
I don't think that this is an executive with this level....
I wonder if demons can be born in this world...?
Next, I checked the monsters in this region...
There were no low-level monsters, on the other hand, there were several monsters passing level 10 in various places...
Even nearby, there were level 24 monsters called War Mantis lurking...
In addition, there was also something strange, even though they were not monsters, in the forest near the city of Muno was 30 kilometers in diameter with the shortest 20 kilometers, a huge forest and there was a Wood Giant in the interior...
Although there were only 10 Wood Giants, the strongest ones were at level 39 and their Levels averaged at 30...
Another thing worth noting is that there are many thieves...
Although I already knew this, most of them were grouped in 10-30 people...
The largest group had around 200 people and it seemed that they were building their base on the outer edge of the forest where the Wood Giant lived...
Since there were many criminals, it meant that the public order in this region was quite bad...
I'll play around with them a little later...
I wanted to take a detour from this Baronet territory, but that meant I had to circle to the royal capital, and, if I took a longer detour, then I reached the Oyugock region...
It took me about two months or so, if I was caught in winter, I wouldn't be able to move until spring...
So I cleaned up all the grass in there with Wind Cuter and almost cut down all the trees and mountain ranges there...
And after the cleanup almost made a disaster, I decided to go to the entrance gate and not forget to enter the storage carriage...
"Good day.soldier san..."
"Are you feeling unwell...?"
"Faa.it's nothing, I don't want to move today... "
"Thank you for your hard work... "
"You can get through it... "
The soldier said so while sitting casually in front of the military post, and let me pass without checking it...
His clothes were also worn out and the person who knew nothing would probably mistake him for a bandit, but he was really Baronet Muno's army...
"Hehehe... Ennui Field is quite useful..."
"Yes.we have been saved... "
The previous soldier was lethargic so I cast magic to make the entire garrison army tired...
Although, since morning, it is most likely that he will remain that way even if I don't use magic...
There's a reason why we intentionally used magic....
From the results of previous observations, the soldiers in the garrison had things like 'Murder', or 'Rape' in their status, just like thieves...
I understand that they are the ones who do what they love...
I neutralized them first rather than getting entangled in a counterattack...
If maybe I want them not to realize that they were attacked with magic...
That was my plan, so I would add Ennui Field from afar to make the soldiers lethargic...
If they had magic detection items then it could be a problem, but it looks even more troublesome, if we engage with those people, so I chose a relatively low risk method...
It might be problematic if we leave bad guys like them alone, but since the War Mantis is approaching the garrison, their destiny might have already been sealed....
That same afternoon, as I was walking through the street near a village of 300 people, we were called by a man on the side of the road...
There were two skinny teenage girls beside him with their faces pretty good, but since they looked tired and desperate, they did not look like they were at their age...
"Miss don't you want to buy these girls...?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't need slaves... "
"Each of them is only 1 silver coin, if you take them to a big city, they will sell well..."
The man was promoting with a lethargic voice...
He probably knew that they needed to pay taxes, if they wanted to take the slaves out of the territory...
"Only if there is no tax, furthermore, I do not deal with the slave trade... "
"Well then, how to be your bodyguard, for 2 big copper coins..."
That's cheap...
I'm not gonna buy it...
"I'm sorry, but they're not comparable..."
"But it will be able to keep you from the bandits and criminals who will attack you when you are on the way... "
The man begged to continue promoting them to me...
And in the end after the man saw them, he gave up...
Then I slightly changed my mind and took a little interest in the slaves, so I bought them...
"That's how, I'm sorry for taking your time... "
"I want to talk to you for a minute... "
"What's that...?"
"Did your village fall poor because of a bad harvest...?"
"Not that.it must have been smaller than usual, but we didn't have a bad harvest.. "
"Then, are the taxes too high... "
If the situation continues and they continue to sell people like this, then the workers will gradually run out and the village will disappear...
So I bought the 2 female slaves earlier and gave 4 large copper coins and the man's face was very happy and the women were a bit sullen as they were sold to the person they had just met and I asked you a few questions again...
"Even if the taxes are high, we can still survive the winter with the small harvest we have... "
Are there unplanned expenses...
"Is it because of the thieves...?"
The peasants will fight back to the death, yes...
"Then, did some monsters appear...?"
"If that happens then we'll give up..."
"This is a congratulatory gift for the wedding of the Baronet princess, we have to give 30% of our winter savings... "
The man exhaled heavily while saying that...
This baronet is terrible...
Although it may be an arbitrary act of a tax collector...
"Didn't you send a petition...?"
"If we do that, the whole village will end up as slaves... "
"That's impossible... "
"That's right... do you know Tonza village...?"
"Everyone in the village was forced into slavery, no one lived in the village anymore... "
It was a village east of the Baronet region...
For a moment, I thought that he was talking about Oyu village but when I checked it out, there was a place called Oyu village about 20 kilometers from here...
Of course, there was no village called Tonza, but there was a place called 'Ruin of Tonza Village'...
Is the Baronet here a tyrant above being a fool... ?
Since I was feeling a little curious, I asked in earnest...
"Do you know the couple for the Baronet's daughter's wedding... "
"According to the story of the tax collector, it is Here the same... "
Her hero...?
I have searched the entire region, but no one has a hero title...
The one who seemed to accept my silent talk was as if making excuses...
"Maybe it's a fraud, but the tax collector actually said it..."
"You can ask the village chief if you want... "
"If he really married a real Hero, why would they torture people...?"
Well.it's none of my business...
"Well, a lower class man who's nothing but a tax tool like me doesn't know what the big shots think... "
I can't deny that...
However, if he was really the same Hero, 'A straightforward altruist fool', as said , then we could ask about the princess to resolve this question...
If I'm not mistaken, the Hero has a strange preference...
"I have one more question, how old is the daughter...?"
"I'm sure they're women aged 19 and 24... "
"I understand, thank you..."
"It's not trivial, but it's compensation for the talks... "
I said so while giving some silver coins to the man and left with the two slaves I bought earlier...
The two slaves just kept quiet and said nothing...
"Ano... "
Although I already know, but if it's like it will make the situation awkward...
"I'm Lina, 16 years old... "
"I'm Tiane, the same age as 16... "
Lina was a girl with long black hair and Tiane was a girl with short shoulder-length blonde hair...
They are 3 years older than me, but their bodies are very thin and only wear worn clothes that are very weathered and do not wear footwear...
Even so you guys are actually very beautiful, but very far below me...
However, they were born into a difficult family, so it is really sad for your fate...
"Ohh yeah, I have a question for both of you... "
"What is a master...?"
"First don't call me master, just call me Secilia san or Secilia... "
"But... "
"I don't like formality, so you can call me two names... "
"Both Secilia san..."
"Both Secilia... "
"Good, from now on you are my friends and do not call me a master or any honorific... "
"And it seems like your feet are overheated and the clothes you are wearing are worn... "
"Later I'll buy you both decent clothes and footwear... "
"So please wear this first... "
I took out 2 sets of sandals from the storage and gave them to Lina and Tiane...
"How does the size fit... "
"Yes.this is very fitting and very comfortable compared to not wearing footwear... "
"Thank God you like it, then let's continue our journey..."
I don't think a man like that would bring a 19 or 24-year-old woman into his wife...
She may have a change of heart, but then she will change with her beautiful female maid instead...
Just in case, I tried to narrow down the search to check if there were any other Heroes besides Hayato Satoru...
He is a hero summoned by the Saga Empire of Japan...
Someone with the title Hero' None and Someone with the skill 'Unknown ' None...
Someone with the skill 'Self Status' None...
Someone higher than level 50 None....
There is no one to apply but me, Lina and Tiane...
No one can be a reincarnated or summoned person...
There are fake Heroes, or there are Heroes from other countries within this region, I wonder which one it is...
I'm guessing that it's a fake Hero...
I don't feel that the demon in Muno city is the one behind this...
However, I have no intention of getting involved...
It may be heartless, but I don't want to involve my friends getting involved with danger, if I try to eliminate those phony demons and Heroes...
I decided to circulate the documents anonymously, if I feel guilty...
