Selena and Alger stared at Rion in vigilance.
Rion, on the other hand, was humming leisurely.
Stepping forward, Alger questioned, "What do you want from me?"
Rion smiled and said, "I simply want you to allow us to stay in your town until we have enough knowledge to continue our journey."
Alger, who had been dealing with the schemes of countless nobles, couldn't even find such an ordinary reason to be true, so he asked again, "Stop these games and tell me what you really want."
Rion sighed. "Your guard is too high, Count Barely. What I previously said is indeed what I actually want."
Alger blinked a few times and mumbled, "That is all...?"
Rion nodded. "Yeah, that's the most of it... We may need your help in some minor cases, though."
Hearing him, Alger pressed his lips into a thin line and thought, 'Is he really from the same place as the dark king?'
