"Did you use Territory shift? " Alice asked me curiously as she seems a little sad and dissapointmented.
While I was awakening my talents and stuff she was having a chat with her best friend, just before I used territory shift she found out her best friend was also in the desert.
I guess she thought she could find her, but I already used the territory shift card to change the location.
It's not my fault, is it?
After all, it's not just her castle, it's 'Our' Castle.
....
" Yes," I simply replied.
It seems our territory was shifted near the local's territory.
It seems like some kind of kingdom, its military ( knights, magicians, adventures, mercenaries ) was strong and huge in number, there were many people and their land area itself was 34 times bigger than our total land area.
As someone who didn't grow up in blue star, I didn't know whether locals will be friendly or not.
They might attack you by saying believer of some demon god or otherworldly God etc...
.....
" It seems we are next to a kingdom of local people, are they friendly? " I asked Alice
"Wha-what local kingdom " she seems shocked, I guess locals aren't that friendly but their hatred can be understandable.
Just imagine you are living in your house when suddenly a stranger came and lives with you without paying rent or anything and start to use your items, obviously, you will kick him out.
But it is their world, where the people of blue star suddenly came out of nowhere and start to disturb the balance.
....
" They are friendly and not friendly, it depends upon their mood " Alice further said while keeping her index finger on her chin.
" But they have an advantage, Even if we have neural War Status protection, locals can still come and destroy our base, when they destroy 'Castle buildings ' it cost ten times more than usual to repair it " she further added.
It looks like locals have their advantage if they are friendly shouldn't we meet n talk to them.
Otherwise, they might attack us within the next 3-5 days.
"Shouldn't we meet them? " I asked her
"ok you go and meet them"
"..."
You are the lord, why should I go and meet? I wanted to say that to her face but.....
Anyway, let's visit its king or noble households, where we can establish a friendly nation pact.
It is better to live peacefully than wage a war and kill thousands of innocents.
Swoosh!
From our Castle, I teleported to the nearest fancy house, the reason I came here is that it might be a noble household.
From here I will get some information about others and leave.
From Alice, I understood one thing Locals have some advantage over castle lords who has many troops and grow faster.
Breaking the protection! Next time I don't have to do anything if we establish a friendly pact with this nation.
We can simply ask for their help and attack other castle lords with surprise And divide their resources among us.

Once again I vanished and came inside a room...
There was a fat noble looking at some beautiful girls, and there was also another man who was showing girls.
I guess it must be a slave merchant and that fat noble must be buying a sex slave.
Ooh! I guess he was noble from his dress if he was in a good shape this dress would look even better.
I am not some hero or justice provider, so I don't care if they are trading slaves or whatever.
I just came here to get information and after getting it I will leave.
"Hello," I simply said to start a conversation.
As soon as he heard my voice, he shouted "Wh-who are you? And how did you get here? "
"Guards! Guards! Throw this bastard out of here" she seems to call his guards to throw me out of here.
The way this fat noble talks really annoys me, if it was any other person from Earth they would probably think of beating him to half death.
The hatred is due to the media influence, if I suddenly out of nowhere into his house, he would surely call his guards to throw me out it is a natural response.
Baam!
After getting a Karate chop in his neck, he fainted.
I simply put my finger in his fire head, it was a brain manipulation.
With that, I got tons of information about the nation.
Since my work is done Snap! I snapped my finger, the fat noble was awake and I left the castle.
Slave merchant: "...." what just happened
Slave girls: "..."
From their view, A handsome young man came out of nowhere and made Baron unconscious and snapped his finger to wake him up and left...
After the bell left, they continued their trading, the slave merchant sold both girls at 300 gold each, normally a sex slave from 1-30 gold coins but due to these girls being virgins, their price was higher.
The price of a virgin would be 80-120 gold coins but since both girls can use mana so, they can be guards too So, Baron purchased both of them. Not only can he have fun, but he also has personal guards.
*******
Since I know where is the royal castle and stuff, I directly headed towards the castle.
From his memory, I also learned that there is a magic academy that teaches magic and sword.
I don't think I would need to join the magic academy or whatever ever but it seems nobles are required to join and make friends with other nobles and increase connections.
It's just like high school, once you turn 18 you can enter, and at 20 you are graduated.
