Chapter 3 Outsiders
"Speaking of which, I also heard today that there are outsiders in the town, and it seems to be...... What to do research. Luke also remembered what he had seen in town this morning.
"Research? What kind of research is that? Sean asked suddenly.
"I don't know, because I saw them carrying special instruments, which were digging tools! I had seen them in the school in Koga before. Luke continued.
Also digging tools!
Is there anything else worth studying in a small village like mine?
Archaeology of the Catacombs?
Although everyone around them said that the Telemian area was a small town, it seemed to Sean that it was a village, and it was a remote area.
There are still outsiders in this kind of place, and it is still in the middle of winter.
From the lord's point of view, it is a good thing to be able to attract outsiders, because it can increase the local trade and income, but the outsiders directly give their knights a curse, which is equivalent to a provocation.
I don't know if the other party will attack his own people again!
"Let's take a look!"
"Now, but it's still snowing heavily. The drunken guard said.
"If you don't want to come, you can't come!"
Sean couldn't help but wait, if the other party was a normal outsider, it would be fine, but they released the curse magic first, and if they didn't go to see it in person, they might make some trouble.
Everyone in the room was stunned by their loud scolding, and they had always thought that the young Baron Vigel was a kind man, at least to his subordinates.
No matter what requests are made in the recent period, only those that are not too excessive will be agreed, but why is it like this today?
The crowd didn't dare to speak, and almost all looked at Luke, who was standing on the side.
The other party has always been the local brain trust of Telemian, and it is not easy to find scholars from big cities in such a small place.
"Wait, sir! Maybe they don't mean it, but they're just a little bit worse-tempered...... Most outsiders think that our people in Telemian are poorly educated and do not understand etiquette, and occasionally sneer at them. Seeing that everyone was silent, Luke said as he walked alone beside Sean.
From time to time, he glanced at Dan Ti next to him, as if to ask him to say a few words.
"Uh...... Yes, my lord. I did get into an argument with them, and now that I think about it, it's not much of a deal. He said with a smile.
"Yes, sir. Knight Danti knows how to make a big deal out of it, and they haven't reconciled. ”
Seeing that someone had spoken, several other people around him also stepped forward to speak.
Sean watched as everyone was almost reluctant to let himself out......
Maybe I don't want to go out because it's a snowy day, or maybe I don't think it's a big deal.
It's just a bit of a contradiction.
That's right, if it weren't for the fact that I could see the effect of the curse, I guess I would have been the same as them, and if I hadn't asked myself, even people at the time wouldn't have been willing to talk about it.
Looking at the icon above Danti's head, he has already survived most of it, and his HP has dropped to the number of [1850/2000].
It is estimated that the effect will be over after another 50.
In this way, the curse is not meant to kill a person, perhaps it is just to teach him a lesson.
And now in the past, with Danti's temper, he has his own backing, and then he won't play another round!
The other party can use magic, and he has lost the possibility of confrontation by nature......
Archaeological research?
Sean had looked through the family's historical records before and didn't find any other forces entrenched in this area before, just a poor area, is there anything worth digging and exploring treasures.
"Luke, are there any ancient ruins around us, etc. He said suddenly.
"I've never heard of ancient ruins, but I think there are tombs. A few years ago, I heard someone in the town say that there were sculptures of ancient tombs found in the mountains and forests to the east. ”
Luke probably understood what he wanted to ask and directly told the location.
Grave.
Is this what you're here for?
But since everyone in the town knows something, I guess there's no chance to find it now.
"Are there any rules in our country about digging graves?" said Sean, who had another question.
Luke is a bachelor after all, and in a familiar way, the other party is a learned person...... History, geography, and national politics can all have their own opinions and answers.
"Only the tombs of the nobles were protected and could not be excavated at will, and the rest were not listed. ”
After looking at the icons of "Thinking!] and "Confident!] appearing above the other person's head, Sean thought it should be true.
Except for the nobles who are protected, the rest are no longer listed, which means that as long as they don't dig their own ancestral graves, the rest can be done casually!
That's no.
There are even people who can do magic in the other party's team, and it is not easy to mix with it yourself.
"Does the Baron think that outsiders have ill will towards us?"
Seeing that there was a state of [doubt!] on the top of Luke's head, he asked so many questions in a row, and guessed that they were also guessing.
However, when I looked at the others, I was [surprised!!
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's eat first, get ready to eat. ”
Gotta ~ It seems that the outsider is right, the Tymian region is really a place with low education, and it is so obvious that there are still surprised expressions.
Seeing that they were no longer pursuing it, the topic immediately returned to today's dinner, even including the stories they heard about the city when they went downstairs just now.
Especially Luke, who has traveled a lot of towns.
Sean had paid little attention to their cognition before, because he felt that he was not very familiar with the world, and he was listening to everything they said but rarely asking questions.
But from the reaction just now, when I looked back at my subordinates, I felt that many people here may not have left this mountain village for half their lives, and their vision is too small.
Although they are all in their thirties and forties, they have little experience, and they talk for a long time and drink and laugh together.
As for Knight Danti, the curse effect on his head has now disappeared, and as he expected, his HP was reduced to 1800 before stopping, and now he is slowly recovering.
It is probably impossible to get these people to help them make suggestions, and their own land can only rely on themselves.
During the meal, Sean tapped Luke on the shoulder slightly......
In my opinion, the only person here who has some wisdom is this bachelor.
"What's wrong? ”
"Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to the town, and we will meet the outsiders. Whispered.
"Are you really going to look for those outsiders?" asked Luke as he looked around and was also cautious.
"Well, just the two of us. ”
