Leolde gave Charlotte a piggyback ride and led Barbaroto and Jex to the place where the children were being protected  by the Hungry Wolf's Fang. The place they arrived at was deep in the forest, where there were several old huts around an abandoned church.

"Is this an abandoned village?"

"Yes. I found it by accident and have been using it ever since."

(No wonder we couldn't find it.)

 Leolde , impressed,  put Charlotte down on  her feat and followed Jex. As Jex made his way to the abandoned church, a group of children came running out from inside. Seeing them flock to Jex, Leoldo is impressed by how much they love him.

 Then, a woman in a sister's uniform comes out of the abandoned church, behind the children. Leolde recognized the woman. The woman was one of the mob characters from  destiny 48.

(I believe she's the one who took in the boy bandits. ...... Oh, so she's imitating the orphanage.)

 Leolde and the others watched the events unfold, wondering how Jex was going to explain them.

"Guys, I want you to listen to me. I'm actually going to be working for him now".

 The person Jex was pointing at was Leolde. When the children and the woman in the sister's uniform saw Leolde, their faces clearly changed.

 Seeing this reaction, Leolde  felt a little sad. It was not that he had hurt them, but it was hard for him to be feared just because he was a nobleman.

"I understand how you all feel. But I want you to believe me."

 Jex's words were not well received by the people around him. It's not easy to believe in someone who has suffered misfortune due to a corrupt nobleman or a fraudulent merchant, no matter how much they are loved.

 It seemed that Leolde should join in to persuade him here, but if Leolde  joined in, it would rather complicate the story even more. Everyone was listening to him because he was Jex. If it had been Leolde ,  they wouldn't have even shown up, let alone listened.

 Leolde watches Jex to see what he will do. Jex was troubled by the fact that the woman in the sisters' uniform did not react well to the children. But it would all be for nothing if Jex gave up at this point.

 So Leolde decided to try to persuade him, even if it meant that he would be subjected to a lot of verbal abuse.

"Jex! I'll take care of this.""

"What? You can do this ?"

"I don't care. I'm used to people hating me."

 (Even though I'm used to it, it doesn't mean I won't get hurt. But there's nothing else to do right now.) So, Leolde went to the place where Jex was gathered.

"Listen! My name is Leolde Herbst, and I am the Lord of Ze'at. I have heard that you are under the protection of the Fang of the Hungry Wolf led by Jex. However, the Fang of the Hungry Wolf has become my subordinates. Therefore, you are also under my wing ."

 "Therefore, you must obey my orders. If you disobey, I will take the appropriate measures!"

 The non-combatants in the hut, such as the old men and women, were in despair when they heard that Jex had returned. They also lamented the fact that they were being exploited at the mercy of the nobility.

"'Fu ......, stop messing around! You know how much we've suffered because of you nobles..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you complain!"

 If you don't like it, you can leave this land!"

"...... Jex! You're at the mercy of this..."

"Who the hell are you? You've been under Jex's thumb all this time, and now that he's under my wing , you're blaming me! It's an insult to me when you taunt my subordinates! I'll cut off your head!"

"Hee ......!"

 The old man who had been complaining was so afraid of Leolde's swordsmanship that he lost his back and fell on his butt.

"You have two choices! One, you can come to me with Jex.  and the other is to get out of Ze'at! Choose one or the other!"

 With that, Leolde  moved to a remote location. Seeing Leolde  move away, the people gathered with Jex discuss. They can either follow Leoldo or leave this place.

 However, if they decide to leave, they have no idea where they will live next. Even if they were lucky enough to find another place, there was no one they could rely on, so they might end up dead anyway.

 In other words, there was no choice.

 In the end, not wanting to die,  they  decided to join Leolde's side . They didn't have any complaints, but  their attitude was blatantly hostile to Leold.e One day,  they might revolt, but he wouldn't have to worry about that.

 It was because of Jex that  they had been able to survive until now. 

(That's sweet. ...... I'm going to feed them after all. Well, let's let them do their best for the development of Ze'at.)

 To be honest, the old people are not the best labor force, but they may have the wisdom of their predecessors, so we may be able to count on them. However, I don't think we can expect too much from them.

 Leolde let out a sigh and decided to take Jex and the others back.
