Chapter 3: Outsiders

"Come to think of it, I also heard today that there are outsiders in town. It seems that they are... doing some research." Luke also remembered what he saw and heard in the 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 excavation tools! I saw them before in the academy in Koga City." Luke continued.

Also digging tools!

Is there anything worth studying in a small village like mine?

Tombs? Archaeology?

Although people around him said that the Telemian area was a small town, to Sean it was just a village, and a remote area at that.

There are actually outsiders in such a place, and in the middle of winter.

From the lord's perspective, attracting outsiders is a good thing because it can increase local trade and income, but if outsiders directly curse their knights, it would be tantamount to a provocation.

I don’t know if the other party will attack my people again!

"Let's go and take a look!"

"Now? But it's still snowing heavily." said the slightly drunk guard.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to!"

Sean couldn't help but wait. If the other party was a normal outsider, it would be fine, but they were the ones who released the curse magic first. If he didn't go and see for himself, who knows what kind of trouble might happen.

Everyone in the room was stunned by his loud shouting. They had always thought that the young Baron Weigel was a kind man, at least he was very nice to his subordinates.

Recently, no matter what request is made, as long as it is not too excessive, it will be agreed, but why did it turn out like this today?

No one dared to speak, and almost all looked at Bachelor Luke who was standing beside them.

The other party has always been a local think tank in Thelemian. It is not easy to find scholars from big cities in such a small place.

"Wait a minute, sir! Maybe they don't mean any harm, but just have bad tempers... Most outsiders think that we Telemians are poorly educated and don't know etiquette, and they occasionally make sarcastic remarks." Everyone was silent as Luke walked beside Sean and said.

From time to time, he glanced at Danti next to him, as if asking him to say a few words.

"Uh... yes, sir. I did have an argument with them, but now that I think about it, it wasn't a big deal." He said with a smile.

"Yes, sir. Knight Dante always knows the importance of things and won't make a big deal out of it. Besides, they have reconciled."

When someone spoke, the other people around came forward to talk.

Sean looked at how everyone seemed unwilling to let him go out...

Maybe it’s because it’s snowing so heavily that I don’t want to go out, or maybe I think it’s no big deal.

It was just some conflicts.

That's true. If I hadn't been able to see the effects of the curse, I would probably have been the same as them. If I hadn't asked in detail, even the people who lived there wouldn't have wanted to talk about it.

Looking at the icon above Dante's head, he had already survived most of the time, and his health had dropped to [1850/2000].

I estimate that the effect will end if it drops by another 50.

So this curse is not meant to kill anyone, maybe it just wants to teach him a lesson.

Besides, if I go over now, with Dante's temper and his support, there will be no more fighting!

The other party can use magic, so I inherently lose the possibility of resisting...

Archaeology? Research?

Sean had looked through the historical records of his family before and did not find any other forces that had occupied this area before. It was just a poor area. Is there anything worth digging for treasure in it?

"Luke, are there any ancient ruins or something like that nearby?" he said suddenly.

"Ancient ruins? I've never heard of ruins, but there seem to be tombs. A few years ago, I heard someone in town mention that sculptures of ancient tombs were found in the mountains to the east."

Luke probably understood what he wanted to ask and told him the location directly.

grave.

Is this what you came for?

But since everyone in town knows about it, there's probably no chance of finding it now.

"Does our country have any regulations regarding digging graves?" Sean thought of another question.

Luke was a bachelor after all, which meant that the other party was a learned man... He had his own opinions and answers on history, geography, and national politics.

"Only the tombs of the nobility are protected and cannot be excavated at will. The rest are no longer listed."

Seeing the icons "Thinking!" and "Confidence!" appear above the other person's head, Sean felt that this must be true.

Except for the nobles who are protected, the rest are no longer listed. That is to say, as long as you don’t dig up your own ancestral graves, you can do whatever you want!

There's nothing we can do about it.

There are even people who can use magic in the opposing team, so it is not easy for me to get involved.

"Does the Baron think that outsiders have ill intentions towards us?"

Seeing the "Confused!" sign above Luke's head, I guess they were also guessing after asking so many questions in a row.

However, when I looked at other people, I was surprised!

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's eat first and get ready to eat."

Well~ It seems that the outsiders were right. The Thelemian region is indeed a place with poor education. Even though it is so obvious, there are still people who look surprised.

Seeing that he was no longer pursuing the matter, everyone immediately turned the topic back to tonight's dinner, and even to the stories about the city that they had heard when they went downstairs just now.

Especially Luke, who has traveled to many towns.

Sean rarely paid attention to their cognition before, because he felt that he was not familiar with this world, so he just listened to what they said but rarely asked questions.

But looking back at his subordinates from their reactions just now, he felt that many of them may not have left this mountain village in their entire lives, and their vision was too narrow.

Although they are all in their thirties or forties, they have little experience and they just drink and laugh after chatting for a long time.

As for Knight Dante, the curse effect on his head has now disappeared, and as he expected, his health stopped dropping to 1800, and is now slowly recovering.

It is probably impossible to ask these people to help me with advice. I have to rely on myself to control my land.

During the meal, Sean tapped Luke's shoulder lightly...

In my opinion, the only one with a little wisdom here is this bachelor.

"What's the matter, sir?"

"Tomorrow morning, you accompany me to the town and we will meet those outsiders." He whispered.

"Sir, are you really going to look for those outsiders?" Luke looked around and asked carefully.

"Well, just the two of us will do."
