Sirzechs moved toward the village he saw from a distance.
The village wasn't big, and from what he could perceive with his devil sense, He found that there were only two to three hundred people residing in the village.
And when he walked closer to the village.
The villagers looked at him warily. It was normal because this world was full of pirates.
But to his surprise they knew immediately that he wasn't a pirate because of his looks and demeanor. He was more of a noble than a pirate.
And that made them even more anxious!
'Understandable.'
In this world, citizens were afraid of the nobles because they were even worse than pirates.
Those pirates would rob them and bully them, then leave or be caught by the patrol marines.
But those nobles were completely another matter, as they would do anything to oppress them and make them see hell.
And even the marines couldn't help them because the nobles were protected by the world government. Their boss.
Sirzechs just shook his head and didn't mind them and made a beeline toward the tarven.
He felt that was the place where he could get information and get some pretty strong alcohol.
And when he was about to go inside the tarven, Someone stopped him first.
"Our village is currently closed to outsiders. Please go back to where you came from."
Sirzechs looked at the one who stopped him.
He was just a middle-aged normal human wearing a brown uniform, and he also had a pinwheel in his hat.
He heard people called him Genzo.
"And if I don't comply, What are you going to do about it?"
Sirzechs smiled gently, but the words that came out of his mouth were completely different.
The middle-aged man wasn't surprised that Sirzechs would speak to him like that.
This just confirmed to him that Sirzechs was indeed a noble.
But even that He still couldn't let him into the town, no matter what.
"I will have to use force. Even If I had to drag you away, I would! And if you want to kill me! I won't resist!"
The middle-aged man was ready to pull Sirzechs away, but he couldn't move his body.
Genzo had intrigued him. So he would let his outrageous behavior go.
"You lack hatred... There was only concern in your voice. Now tell me why you won't let me into your town. And don't lie to me, because I will know."
Sirzechs used a little bit of binding magic to bind the middle-aged man.
He didn't do anything about vocal cords, so he could speak freely.
"What have you done to me?"
"I asked you a question, and I want answer, not another question."
Sirzechs wasn't having it. He needed some strong liquor to quench his taste buds.
Eating only fish for many days wasn't good for his health at all.
Genzo couldn't do anything except tell him the truth.
He had a reason why he didn't want him to come to this village this time around.
"There are pirates on the shore. If they came here, He would kidnap you for ransome. then your noble family would send your people here to kill them and us!"
The middle-aged man wasn't concerned about him but the villagers that might be in the crossfire.
"My family will send people to kill you all?"
Sirzechs didn't know much about this world, but he heard about noble families everywhere.
Does this world govern using a hierarchical system like in the past?
"Don't act like you don't know. Many people died because of the war that noble families and pirates waged against each other. Marines couldn't possibly help us all. It was because of your nobles!"
The old man felt angry and scolded Sirzechs, even though his body was bound with magic.
"Noble and Pirate didn't get along. How ridiculous."
He didn't believe the middle age man.
He was sure that it was the noble who was working behind those pirates, but they wanted to be in a good light, so the information he got was mixed like that.
"You are the one who is being ridiculous. Go away before those damn merfolk come!"
"Merfolk?"
Sirzechs knew what the merfolk were. But he didn't think that there's merfolk in this world.
And as he was processing the new information that he just got, someone hit him on the leg.
But because it wasn't a threat, the devil's sense didn't get triggered.
He looked at the one who hit his leg. It was a little girl with orang-hair and a little girl with light-purple hair.
"Nami, Nojiko, go away. He is one of those noble people!"
"No! I will not. You bad guy, let go of Genzo!"
The orange-haired girl said that with ferociousness and tried to hit him again. While the purple hair girl looked at Sirzechs in fear.
But even though she was afraid of him, She would never leave her sister alone.
