180 Diary

Thanks to this stance, the blades will receive my blood and will not disintegrate after a while. I really hoped for this, otherwise the girls can only rely on Keirin's magic.

Taking out a pill and swallowing it, I listened to the camp, but only the wind answered me.

There were no extraneous sounds, which meant that none of the predators smelled the blood or bodies of the dead robbers.

I didn't know how long Keirin would need to rest, so I looked around at the other tents.And finding girls who were alive but they did not have any emotions in their eyes.

Throwing some clothes on them to hide their nakedness, I began to transfer them to one tent.

They did not resist; they had complete resignation to their fate. I did not know and did not want to think about what the robbers did with them.

Among the girls in this state were mainly representatives of the human race, but also two light elves. I wanted to study the tent of the leader of this gang.

I didn't understand why they didn't try to ransom these girls? Or did they use them only for their sexual pleasures?

But then what did the whole gang exist for, caravans go often, but still they could not feed the whole gang and girls.

The son of a local baron could ask his father for both gold and provisions, but in such a situation, someone should have known that he lived among the bandits.

I had suspicions that they somehow communicated with other gangs and exchanged something for something.

But then how often did this happen, if it was indeed practiced by the gangs why didn't Pelori tell us about it? Frowning, I had a feeling that I didn't see something in the behavior of this gang.

In the empire of Cray, there were also robbers, but they were dealt with by the guards of the barons and princes on whose land they were located.

At times, even some leaders were brought to the capital to be executed before the inhabitants of the empire. While waiting for Keirin to wake up, I checked the baron's son's tent again, hoping to find something else.

Which helped me understand the structure of this gang, after checking everything I glanced at the bed. I already had doubts that I would find at least some information. Looking around the bed, I found a strange book with a white cover, did this bastard have time to read?

Frowning, I opened it and instead of a book in front of me there were notes in which he described the time when he was still in the baron's castle.

As I read page after page, I began to better understand the thoughts of this son, he was the youngest of three brothers.

Realizing that nothing shines for him, he decided to try to travel, but he was robbed and severely beaten. Unable to take revenge, he contacted a dubious company that was relaxing in one of the taverns.

From the description of this company, I hardly recognized Pelori and the man with whom I fought when the gang attacked the camp.

They helped him get revenge and offered to join their gang. Then they did not yet know that he was the son of a baron, without hesitation, he agreed with their proposal.

After living for some time in the camp, he told about himself to the leader and Pelori, when he saw that they were doubtful.

Before their eyes, he contacted the baron, agreeing with the baron who promised to prevent all possible threats to the gang. And promising that after some time he will take the whole gang into his squad.

- So this baron not only knew everything and promised to oppose the search for the gang. - I said thoughtfully as I flipped through the pages.

This confirmed the words of the robber who told all this to Keirin and me. I had doubts about what he said then, but now I had evidence in my hands.

If before I only had the words of a rogue who had already been killed by Keirin. The diary of the baron's son was weighty evidence of the baron's crime.

Am I using this to manipulate the baron? No, it was my guarantee that he would take no action against us.

If he nevertheless decides, I will be glad to send him to my son. I doubted he would do anything proactive, but people tend to act unwisely.

Having laughed at this thought, did I begin to think not like a person long ago? It was difficult to understand how I and my thinking were changing.

At times I have noticed how I react differently than Alurik was before accepting the goddess of chaos and becoming her chosen one.

Putting the diary in my vault, I wondered if I should talk about it to Keirin or not? She offered to tell the city council everything and maybe even go to the capital of this kingdom.

But why should we attract attention if we can observe him and his behavior.

When he learns that his dear youngest son has been killed in a bandit camp. Deciding not to tell Keirin about the found diary, I looked around the tent again for the possibility of missing something.

But there was nothing more interesting. I chuckled and looked at the rune stone that shimmered in color and I could see the name that burned brightest of all "Father".

You and I will meet again baron of these lands don't worry your son was tormented before his death.

Leaving the tent, I listened to the surroundings, having heard nothing, I decided to check how Keirin was doing.

Approaching her tent, I noticed a figure coming out of it, frowning and preparing to attack and trying to walk more slowly, I approached the tent.

Listening, I didn't hear any movement or that the figure was trying to harm Keirin. Pulling the sword out of storage, I slowly opened the tent looking inside.

I saw my companion who was still sleepy sitting on the bed and looking around. Thinking, did I not recognize Keirin's figure when I saw the figure?

Relaxing, I put the blade back into storage and cleared my throat, I attracted the attention of the girl. She shifted her sleepy gaze to me and a slight smile appeared on her face.

- And I thought where are you, how did I get here? - Keirin asked in a sleepy voice.

She looked with interest at the room where she woke up, then at the bed on which she was sitting. Looking up at me, I noticed how she was frowning.
