Chapter 937


    Some roads were safer than others


    “I suppose the nobles are not aware of such places. Even in Ractos, there are slums that are less safe.”


    “Indeed... It is the duty of the landlord to ensure that people can live in peace. However, there is a limit to how much you can do. And there are those who escape detection.”@@@@


    A matter of safety. Even in Japan, it was difficult. So I could only imagine how it was like in a world where information did not move as quickly.


    Besides, there were also monsters in this world...


    “I traveled alone. Of course, sometimes, I would travel with merchants as well, but... That was only temporary. I could travel without worrying too much on the duke’s lands, but it was rarely the case elsewhere. That is why I tried to stay here while traveling, as much as possible.”


    “Well, my father has no control in other lands.”


    “Here, soldiers patrol the area regularly, and deal with monsters and bandits. However, nobles with less...resources may not be able to maintain their own army.”


    “Regardless, there are few monsters on the main road here. And for that, I am grateful.”


    “Hmm. Now that I think about it, there was no applicants that were as old as Mr. Peter.”


    Sebastian had chosen the people from a list. I had just assumed that he excluded people that he thought were too old.


    Or perhaps only young people wanted the job.


    “Sebastian. I know that I just left everything to you. But how did you spread the news about the recruitment?”


    “Well, this is not something to discuss publicly... However, I suppose Mr. Peter is not going to spread the news everywhere...”


    “Sebastian seems to be enjoying this...”


    After pondering it for a moment, Sebastian made up his mind and then cleared his throat loudly.


    As Claire said, he was clearly enjoying this moment... He was now able to speak and be the center of attention.


    I suppose it was what he did best...
