Chapter 489 Visiting nobles (5)
At first we thought that it was about us, but it turned out that this wasn't the case.
When we looked in the direction of that voice, we found that it was a group of men who had surrounded one of the town's girls.
She wasn't considered beautiful compared to beauties like Rose or Haley, she was just prettier than the other girls.
But for a commoner, she was considered more beautiful than the rest.
It wasn't strange to see her being hit on like this.
It was just too bad that she wasn't currently being hit on.
It was better to say that she was surrounded rather than being hit on.
Still, we decided to watch instead of intervening for now.
But what surprised us was that most of the other people were doing the same. This was a crowded street, but most of the other people seemed like they recognized these three men and were afraid of them.
The three of them were dressed up like rogues from any RPG, but not the kind that hung around in town in a gang. They were more like the adventurer kind of rogue.
The three of them surrounded this pretty woman and the leader of the group said, "How about coming with us for a drink?"
The woman clearly didn't want to, but when she was surrounded like this, it wasn't as if she had a choice.
She could only look around for people that would help her. However, it didn't seem like the people around her even saw her with the way they walked by with turned heads.
She was being surrounded in the middle of the road and they were just walking right by her.
This really seemed like a lack of public security for this town.
Was Viscount Teomold's territory that bad?
Or was there something else going on behind the scene?
Instead, it almost seemed like the people were afraid of looking at the three rogues more than anything else.
The three of them saw that she wasn't willing, but they didn't care at all.
The leader of this group came forward to grab the woman's hand as if he was about to pull her away.
But it was at this time that a group of guards suddenly came over as if they were on patrol.
I let out a secret sigh of relief when I saw these guards, but…
The guards also just walked right past them and didn't try to intervene at all.
When the woman saw them, she also didn't even try to ask for their help. It was as if she already recognized that it would be useless to ask for help from them.
The guards were supposed to represent the safety of a town, but the citizens didn't even look to them for protection…
That meant that there was something fundamentally wrong with this place.
I couldn't keep watching this anymore and was turning to leave.
However, I saw the looks on the faces of the two women with me.
They looked at that woman with concern and sympathy.
That was because they had once been in a similar situation as this woman before.
So they could understand how she was feeling right now.
Seeing this, I gave a sigh before walking forward towards them.
The two of them were surprised by this, but they didn't try to stop me.
I walked right over to the three rogues and said, "Excuse me, I have some business with her, so can you move out of the way?"
As soon as I said this, everyone around us revealed shocked looks.
Even the guards that had almost walked past couldn't help turning to look at me with surprised looks.
This just went to show just how bad this place was.
The three rogues were also surprised, but they looked at me with narrowed eyes before the leader said, "And if we don't?"
I just casually raised my hand and pulled out Durand.
When this cursed sword came out, the three rogues immediately took a step back.
Even if they couldn't sense the magic energy coming from Durand, it was a naturally terrifying looking sword. So anyone that saw Durand wouldn't be able to stop themselves from taking a step back.
But even then, the guards still didn't act.
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I saw this.
By guards, I meant the secret guards that Viscount Teomold had sent to watch over me.
It seemed like they were hesitating over something.
The rogue leader could see that the situation was bad, so he said, "We're not looking for trouble here. Just…"
Before he could finish, I had already raised Durand above me, as if I was going to swing it down.
At this, the rogues had no choice but to pull out their weapons as well.
Once things escalated this far, the guards had no choice but to act.
Before anyone could do anything, there were guards that suddenly appeared around the rogue with swords pointed at them.
The rogues were completely caught off guard and didn't understand what was happening.
But when the guard patrol saw this, they immediately rushed over as well with their weapons drawn.
Other people might not recognize these guards that appeared, but it was impossible for them not to recognize them.
They all worked for Viscount Teomold, so they immediately recognized each other.
They knew that these were the elite guards under Viscount Teomold, the strongest guards that this town had. Yet for them to act in a place like this, it was clear that something big was happening.
When the rogues were surrounded by the guards like this, they didn't seem to panic.
The rogue leader looked at the leader of the guard squad as if he was asking what was happening and the leader of the guard squad just gave him a look like he was saying that he didn't know.
I just ignored them since I knew that it was impossible for me to do anything about this.
I put away Durand and walked over to the woman before saying, "Go, before anyone can react to what's happening."
I didn't try to take her away, I just let her run off on her own since I knew that taking her away would just cause even more trouble for her.
She looked at me with a grateful look and then ran off into the crowd before disappearing.
Then I looked back at the guards that surrounded the rogues and said, "Well? Take them away."
The guards were surprised to hear this.
The leader of the guard squad looked at the one that he recognized as the leader of these elite guards.
After a moment of hesitation, the leader of these elite guards gave a nod and said, "Take them away."
The leader of the guard squad was surprised, but since the order had been given, he had no other choice.
The rogues looked like they were displeased with this, but they still followed the guards.
But as they walked off, the leader of these rogues turned to look at me with a glare.
Since he glared at me, it seemed like I couldn't let him off or I would just be causing trouble for myself.
