Chapter 577: Isnt this man a little too liberal for the standard? (1/2)

”Respectable sir, I don't think it will pose any problem for our small group to live our lives in peace. As long as we could be granted the right to hunt monsters that I'm sure are bound to appear in the vincity, just by selling off the parts of the haul we should be able to not only support ourselves but also pay the due tax and rent for the land we would need for a house.”

As surprised as I was with how open and actually kind this man was, just like if he was some kind of tyrant, I couldn't care less. As long as I would have a place to live my life with Eve while discovering all the secrets that stockpiled on my to-do list in the recent days, I was happy with detaching myself from the rest of the world!

”Hey, I never said that I'm willing to remain… Nevermind.”

From the moment Celleria opened her mouth, I knew that nothing good would come out of it. That's why, rather than trying to argue with her in the face of the lord or even attempting to scare her off by releasing a bit of my killing intent, I simply grabbed her wrist and squeezed to the point where I could feel her bodes starting to give up.

Thankfully, this silly girl was smart enough to get the meaning behind my subtle message, instantly changing her tone and dropping the topic.

”So you think you are capable of fighting the local monsters? You do realise that if not for the barrier that protects the farmlands, this entire place would be overrun with middle-immortal grade monsters?”

Just the fact that the lord shared this kind of information rather than holding onto it while pushing me into what had to appear as a death sentence to him, spoke wonders about his real character. Obviously, there was a chance that he was for some reason lying, attempting to perform some kind of four-dimensional chess move on me, but I couldn't bother myself with worrying about it.

Like a certain group of game developers that were hosting a stream over the new version of the game they created said, it's one thing to lose a war, but another to lose a war you started! If this man was attempting to play us out, then he would be in for a huge surprise sooner than later!

”Your lordship, I don't think that will pose any trouble for me. While I might not look like it, I have quite a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with beasts. After all, our glorious empire…”

Suddenly stopping, I used my proved tactics of adding tension to the story by refusing to continue it for a moment.

”Our fallen and soon to be rebuilt empire only had to deal with the bests, as no external threat was capable of toppling it!”
