Dansu City.
It was once a city built as a port to support an entire country. The entire Kingdom of Dansu actually includes the entire city and a large area of land around it, but those are sparsely populated places. Occasionally, a few small fishing villages may still have some population, otherwise they are all abandoned land.
The environment in the desert area is different from that in other areas. Most of the people are living in the market, and the surrounding areas cannot become pastures. Almost everything is in the city.
But there are still special places, such as the mansion of a noble official that is built outside the city...
For the country, perhaps only the exiled nobles would be restricted outside the city.
The place Sean was going to was such a village close to the sea but out of the city. This place was originally a place for exile of Dansu officials, and those who were expelled from the political center would stay away from the city.
Of course, there may be some people who want to relax!
"So what's the point of King Dansu going to such an official?"
Sean said to Frelia on the street.
The two men came out of the palace without sending any soldiers to accompany them, and they didn't even tell the other soldiers, because Lucille didn't want to come, so she simply told them that she was tired and wanted to rest, and she sneaked out with Frelia.
"Then who knows... The current King Dansu is also an exile. Maybe he is thinking back to his subordinates who he felt guilty about in the past?" Frelia mentioned another possibility.
"Perhaps, but the timing is strange. The news of our shipwreck also means Prince Jagun might be doomed to perish at sea. Leaving at this time is indeed suspicious!"
Look at the records in your hand and report slowly.
I don’t know who is doing the investigation. I really should let Vanir and the others learn from him.
This is a great thing... It can clearly show all of a person's movements, even down to the details of what they eat every day! If they eat too much on a certain day, they can also see any health problems.
Put the things away and show them to Vanir and the others when you return to the capital!
"We're free anyway, and these things don't require our attention. Since we've encountered them, we might as well take a look." Although Sean could send an experienced investigator to look into the matter, since he had already come here, he felt uneasy leaving the problem behind.
He knew how strong he was, so he wanted to go see for himself...
If there is really no chance, then forget it and send someone else over separately.
Sean had a vague feeling that King Dansu and his family were hiding something from him, but they seemed perfectly normal, save for the occasional "worry!" he didn't know why.
Sean followed Frelia walking on the streets of Dansu City...
As a port city, it has a large population. No wonder the Golden Group specifically targeted this place. Whether it is the goods sold in the stores or the layout of the entire city, it can be called a big city. The purpose of robbing such a place is to make up for their own financial and material shortages.
“I didn’t expect this city to be so big.”
"Of course. It's a port city after all. Across the sea is the port of Kselke, and it's also connected to the entire Adak region and the port cities in the Zambutal region. Places like this will be very wealthy." Sean said.
Port cities have a natural advantage, because in this world, land-based caravans can never compete with ship fleets.
The cargo they can carry is far greater than that of a horse-drawn carriage. Perhaps the airship's route can be better than it, but it cannot be used for cross-border transportation.
Therefore, the fleet is still the largest mode of transporting goods, which directly leads to strong purchasing power in places with more goods... That is why Dansu was able to become a city that could support a country.
"Do you want to buy something you like?" Sean suddenly asked the other party as they were about to go out.
"Maybe next time. Aren't we going to the village outside the city to look for clues today? We can't waste time!"
Frelia still thought about getting things done first.
The two walked from the palace to the street, then rented a carriage through the street and arrived at the city gate.
After leaving Dansu City, the yellow sand came into view...
The most distinctive feature of Adak is the desert. You can always see desert areas outside the city, and the occasional green spaces and vegetation have become a rare part.
The two asked for the location of the local fishing village according to the scroll, and then walked in the direction...
But soon after leaving the city, Sean noticed that the prompt [Being watched...] appeared in his field of vision for a long time.
It's okay to have these kinds of reminders when you're in the city. After all, anyone walking by who sees you're well dressed will look back at you. But if this situation continues after you leave the city, then there's a problem.
And the number has always been maintained at 1 person...
"Leah."
"Yeah, I found out. Do you want me to catch him?"
"No rush, let him follow us for a while." Sean said.
The two walked into the desert, and the other person followed them into the desert. There was always a sign of being watched in their field of vision, but no danger appeared. Does this mean that the other person was always watching?
We were almost at the village, but the other party was still following us...
His eyes signaled Frelia to move.
At a certain corner, the opponent caught up and knocked him to the ground.
A man, and he looked young, probably about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Who are you and why are you following us?" Frelia asked sternly.
"Speak... or today will be your last day..."
"put……"
"open……"
The other party struggled to get up, but was held tightly by Frelia. If he had used a little force, his arm might have been broken.
"No, don't use force. I surrender, I surrender... I just want to ask if you are His Royal Highness Prince Sean's men." The boy struggled.
He can even say his own name. This guy is not simple.
He was a Level 4 Orderer, an ordinary novice. At his age, he was considered a genius, but still seemed a little ordinary...
"Who are you and why are you looking for the prince?" Frelia asked again.
If the other party can't answer, they won't let go.
"I am a subordinate of Lord Vanir." The boy said the name of self-rescue with difficulty.
Lord Barnier!
Sean sounded like he wanted to laugh. That unruly mercenary team actually had a day when they were called adults, and the other party was actually Vanir's people.
"Get up."
Frelia let go of him, and the boy stood up breathlessly.
We immediately moved a little further away from Frelia...
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Sean asked.
But the boy looked at him with a look of "doubt!"
"Excuse me, are you Prince Sean?"
