[System] stop yelling, I can hear you just fine. Look to turn it off just over power the item will, with your own to turn it off, think of it as training for future store purchases. In fact you're lucky you riveced items related to death, which should make it easier for you to control. With later ones you may not be as lucky, so you should take advantage of this opportunity for now. Alright, I will give it a try. Focus…Focus…almost..got…it..it's starting to bend…the fog is receding….MASTER! Boom! This better be important Aria! Sorry master was I disturbing you? Sigh its fine..its fine, anyway what news do you have for me. Well, one of my lovely servants has discovered a nearby Human settlement, but I don't why the Elves allow them to settle so close to their territory. Um..it can't be..Aria describes what their settlement looks like. Well they're a bunch of weird brown tents and some spike looking fences that look like they could barely hold off crazed dogs more than any real threat.. There also seems to be weapon brackets scattered throughout the camp and lastly I can make out a lot of flag poles depicting an image of some spirit beast of some kind. O! And there's also fully equipped men walking in some kinda weird sequenced fashion in small groups. Aria! That is not a description of a settlement but an army camp! Quickly describe the image you see on the flag! The creature has a big snout like the piggies I saw around the barn with what I believe to be a sword struck through its head, though not as cool as sister tanks' swords. The colors of the piggy head is red while the sword is full black with a white backdrop. Damn it! It's the Piggy Cleaners mercenary corp. They call themselves that because they view all other races other than humans to be but pigs for slaughter. A disgusting bunch of humans for hire, the nobles of the nearby kingdom of Houshamore probably hired them! Their nation name stands for immovable mountain of greed. A fitten name for a nation who only wants but never gives. I know them well for they were the first nation I destroyed, and they will be again! But first let's deal with their men for hire. They have to be here to kidnap elfs or their spirit beast gifts that were meant for the Barons daughter, its has to be one of the two or maybe even both. But master, how could they have entered so far unnoticed? They would've needed to have gone through the baron territory guards and scouts first. HA! That's but a simple matter, even without using skills, all they would need to do is simply walk through. You see baron territories are the absolute edge of the forest and are filled with what the eleven high courts considered undesirables. Elves who can't use magic, deformed, crippled, mentally unstable, fallen nobles are but a few examples. Some baron territories are so bad that even the humans wouldn't bother to kidnap or steal from. After all what use are crippled slaves and ugly deformed women. Anyway the eleven high court uses them as cannon fodder to feed the wild monster outside and to help let some of the more powerful creatures vent out their lust so they won't attack the main territories. I know what you're thinking but the "Elfs have a strong army" which is true but just because they can send troops doesn't mean they want to. I mean why risk the lives of the Elfs you believe to be better on those you think are lesser. Well in conclusion the barons cant even try to stop them or even have the means to. The baron right now is already probably using most of the budget and good will of the people he has just to protect his own daughter at the moment let alone his entire territory. which is why there is much hate towards the elven high court in the Baron control areas because most of the elven citizen believe it to be a death sentence when they are told to relocate to one of these location. To the elven high court the real border technically starts at the viscount territory. Wow, master politics sucks! That right only in death can all be equal! Anyway that's enough of the history lesson, if I remember right there should be a cave by their camp near two twin white trees that are upside down, find it for me Aria! Sure thing master but what will you do with the cave? O I am going to turn into what adventure and mercenary love the most. A beautiful woman master? what! no! I plan to turn it into a dungeon.A dungeon master, why? Because little one I need to farm fear points so we are going to turn it into a fear farm for me. Also it may by time for the Baron scouts to find their army once they go investigate Evelyn's death. But master isn't Evelyn's corpse made to look like a monster attack rather than something done by humans? Because wouldn't the humans want to capture a rare beautiful elf in these parts rather than kill her based on your early statements about the women normally sent here? Na once they find the humans they will probably think they took care of the monster and leave it up as a weird set of conquinadances. On another note, mastering this baron territory as a whole is not as you describe it should be like. O how so? well based on what information my spies have set me this baron territory is way too pristine. Um I see I may have to look into it later, but for now one hurdle at a time. So let's first deal with these intruders first and then look into this territory's secrets, I really should have paid more attention to my wife early life stories, but man could she go on and on.
