In the Dukedodoe located so your pardon? It’s really so cheap?”

The former dom of Frants His actual place of birth was the capital city of Francis, but the price for a plot of land there was quite expensive In the end, he decided to find a place to call home somewhere a little distance away from the capital in the Dukedom of Ariana, instead

“What’s the e chief

Even though it was the rural outskirts, he had been expecting the land price to reh, since they were still fairly close to the capital, but… the price was not even half of what he had anticipated

Laurence was staring at the village chief before hiave off a favourable i up his face, but overall, he had the air of someone rather fastidious in character, as well

“What I told you is indeed the price for a plot of land here But if you don’t like it, then well, nothing I can do about it”

Laurence could only stare at the village chief in so ti to pop in his head when facing an abnorain, “Is there a reason for the land price to be so low, perhaps?”

“The reason, you say? It’s rather sith “That’s because the Dukedo persons cases lately”

“…Missing persons?”

“Indeed Two, even three people go le week From what I hear, it’s the handiwork of a bizarre deerous He had finally learned the reason for such a low land price

When Laurence began displaying solanced at him and continued on, “If you aren’t sure about it, then don’t bother You won’t find anywhere where you can buy a piece of land this cheaply I don’t know if you are aware of it already, but the population of the Dukedom is well over one hundred and thirty thousand people Do you knohat that e chief pointed at Laurence, “Incidents of dying fro your job happens far more frequently than you think And who knows, even theinvolved in those accidents”

Certainly, such accidents did happen rather frequently when living fairly close to a city, and it was possible that this creature called The Farined existence only found in baseless rumours, just like a demon froe chief asked again

He revealed his intent to buy the land to the village chief, and was teht from the old man

After the talk was over, he went to the deserted house, where his aiting for him

“Well, it certainly is derelict, isn’t it?” Laurencethe shabby deserted house

“It’s alright Having a roof over our heads is already a relief, anyway” his wife replied with a sing-song voice while carrying the baby in her elanced at the child in question The baby looked quite grotesque Not only was his skin withered and cracked as if he had been burned alive, his physique was also unbelievably small

Laurence then looked at his wife’s face She was s her all to care for this baby She was unable to have children, and that perhaps made her treat this baby, randomly picked up from the forest by sheer chance, as her own child

“Have you looked for a suitable child care institution, dear?” Laurence asked his wife, while sitting down on a spot opposite her

She nodded and replied, “There’s a church nearby It was apparently created by Second Imperial Prince Ruppel Olfolse in the past”

“…What, that traitor?”

Laurence hurriedly claet into big trouble later if you carelessly spoke ill of the higher-ups Especially when they were the residents of the Edom of Frants

The wife continued on, “The church is currently being supported by His Majesty the Holy King I’ll be working there from now on”

Laurence made a troubled face, but had to relax his expression a short while later after studying his wife She was gently poking the baby whileas she was feeling happy…

Laurence got back up to his feet

She asked hi, dear?”

“I only stopped by to see how you were doing, dear The village chief said he’d explain the lay of the land to me, and I also need to check out the plot of land we are planning to buy”

“Well, what could possibly happen in a rural village like this?” Laurence reassured his wife “I’ll be back soon Don’t wait up for me, dear”

“…Please be careful I heard that the area nearby has become a lot scarier recently”

“Of course Don’t worry”
