There was a strange village within the territory of the Bydent family. It was a small settlement of about a hundred households, built modestly along the ridges deep in the mountains.
Arbold, the former lieutenant-captain of the Order of the Silver Leopard and now aide to the current patriarch Jordic, surveyed the village. The low stone fences were nothing more than markers of each property line, and the lack of even a single watchtower seemed to testify to how safe these mountains were.
“The Ghost Face Slayer is really living in a place like this…?”
Cray was given the title of the Ghost Face Slayer because everyone who saw his face died.
Arbold, tense, licked his dry lips and stepped into the village.
“Excuse me. Is there someone named Cray in this village?”
People who lived in remote places were usually not friendly toward strangers, but the middle-aged man was cheerful toward Arbold.
“Of course. Lord Cray is our village chief, doctor, and teacher. He is a truly admirable man! You don’t look lost, though. What brings you here?”
“The head of Bydent is looking for Lord Cray.”
“The patriarch wants to see the chief? He must have recognized our chief’s talents as well. Please, follow me. The chief is currently teaching the children.”
The nameless middle-aged man was kind, like a rabbit living on an island with no predators. The others were the same.
