Chapter 630: Rygis Country

I wonder what Burnes going to say to us? After my tent is done, which I don’t need to take any time at all since I just grabbed the tent from another location, I entered it and wait for Burnes. Soon after, Thomas entered my tent and we waited for Burnes.

“Maybe it’s some kind of secret about that country. What if it’s under suspicion of being controlled by the cult? I’m scared to go there now,” Thomas said to me as we wait for Burnes to come.

It sure take time for others to build their tent. Maybe I’m just the weird one since I just need to grab my tent from somewhere else, while the others need to prepare everything. Portal is the best.

Thomas said what he’s worried about. The country we’re going to is a small country and we don’t know much about it. Maybe that country is as Thomas said. Something scary is going on there.

“Well, we can take this time to prepare ourselves. If they are being controlled by the cult, the kingdom should have known it right away or tell me to investigate it. But Albert hasn’t told me anything. It means they are still safe from the cult at least,” I said.

“What if it’s not related to the cult? The danger is from something else and not about the cult? Maybe it could be more dangerous than the cult,” Victoria added.

“If that’s the case, then we can just run away. I can use portal to escape from there easily. There’s nothing to worry about. But we’ll hear everything from Burnes soon,” I said.

.....

Something more dangerous than the cult? If it’s something that won’t have any relation to me, I don’t care. If it’s a monster that lack intelligent, we can kill it. But if that dangerous thing decided to make a mess with me, I’ll consider them the same level as the cult. Something necessary to be destroyed completely.

Well, we will hear about it from Burnes. I don’t think it will be something dangerous though.

“Anyway, what is the name of the kingdom we’re going to?” I asked Thomas.

“You haven’t heard? Or maybe you just don’t care. Well, I’ll tell you what I know. Though I only know the name. I think it’s called Rygis. Beyond that, I don’t know anything else about it,” Thomas said.

“You have never been there before?” I asked Thomas.

“Nope. I heard many merchants have difficulties entering that place. That’s the reason we don’t know much about it. Maybe it’s a closed country or something,” Thomas said.

A closed country, huh? And they forbid people to enter? I think it will be hard for us to stay there. Maybe we will get kicked out as soon as we show our face.

Soon after Burnes enters my tent. Seems like we are the only ones who are left behind. We don’t know anything about the Rygis kingdom while the others already in the know.

Well, that’s to be expected. The others are all agents after all. They have intel that normal people couldn’t get no matter how hard we try.

...Me? Normal?

Well, other than the fact that I’m an Aura user, or the four kings are my friends, or how I am the most important piece in the fight against the cult, or the fact that I returned from the future, or the fact that I have a harem, I’m just a commoner. So I’m pretty much normal.

“Burnes. Tell us what we need to know about Rygis kingdom,” I said.

“Yeah. But first, it’s not a kingdom. It’s not an empire either. They called it a country. And it was not led by members of royalty. They don’t have such things. The citizens are heavily involved in politic and they have the right to vote who will be the one that will lead the country. They called the one leading the country as president,” Burnes said.

“Wait, they use voting to pick their president?” Victoria was shocked when she heard that.

“Hm? Oh, right. Victoria, you once told me that most countries in your world used that way to pick their leader, right? I guess you’re more familiar with it. Is it hard to live in such country?” I asked Victoria.

“Not really. But it’s all depend on the country. Mostly, it depends on the traditional morals and values of the country. I guess the problem is not the country itself. But their moral and value,” Victoria said.

“She’s right. The country is not a problem. But their common senses are mostly different than ours,” Burnes said.

We live in the same world but we have different common sense? If it’s Victoria, I can understand when she doesn’t have common sense since she’s from another world. Though it was mostly me who doesn’t have common sense. I stayed alone for a long time in my past life after all. Living in a countryside without a care, and stupidly joined the war.

Burnes then explained to us the biggest difference of our common senses with Rygis is.

“So, the population of women there is much higher than the men,” Burnes said.

“...I have gone to many places, but isn’t that the same everywhere? Even in my clan, there are more women than men. In fact, there are only two men. Kron and me,” I said.

“Yes. But the difference is much more in Rygis than other places. There were so many women and they are the one with power. In fact, they considered men as slaves. Other than those who got lucky and married someone, the rest are slaves. Even the children, after they reached adulthood, they will be treated like a slave as long as they are men,” Burnes explained.

“...What?”

“In fact, as soon as they realized their surroundings, the boys have to seek for marriage partner as soon as possible. Because they will become slaves if they reached adulthood without getting a partner,” Burnes added.

What the hell!?

I thought that if the women has power, it would be like Lynn being an empress. But that’s too much! Just because they are men, they are treated like a slave! In fact, slavery is even legal there!

“...Most of the circus members are male though,” Thomas said.

“Indeed,” Burnes said.

“Seems like we won’t have any problem then. If we go there, we will get kicked out right away. There’s no need for us to go there. Let’s just skip that country and move on,” I said.

“Agree. There’s no need for us to go there only to be treated like slaves. Let’s move on to the next city,” Thomas said.

Men being treated like slaves? I won’t go there.

But maybe if I show them that I’m married, I will be fine. Though I’m not married. I just have lots of girlfriends.

...in a country where women ruled, having a harem might be a huge crime instead. None of them would believe that they all love me.

So, let’s just move on. There’s no need to go to that place. Even the women in the circus don’t seem to have interest in performing there.

“Can’t do that. The main purpose of the tour is to eradicate any cult’s influence as much as possible by traveling to every possible location. And obviously, Rygis is one of them. Even if you don’t want to come, you have to. But for Thomas, he’s free to not come with us,” Burnes said.

“Yes!”

“No!”

It’s obvious who is happy and who is not. Thomas can just leave the circus momentarily and not go there even though he’s supposed to be the leader. But I have to.

How do I stay safe in that country? Charm the girls with my beautiful smiles?

“Since Thomas will not go, we need someone else to act as the leader. Roy, you will disguise yourself as Thomas,” Burnes said.

“Sigh... fine. But if they treated me really bad in that country, I will try my best to escape instead of killing them,” I said.

“...It’s best if you don’t kill anyone in other country unless for good reason. But yeah, it’s best if you prepare to use your portal anytime,” Burnes said.

I guess there’s no escape from going there. But I will try to escape before I kill anyone who bully me there.

“So, how did they ended up making men as their slaves?” I asked.

“We don’t know the truth yet. But from what we gathered, it’s because something that happened long time ago in the past. Someone extremely strong charmed a lot of women and built a village that only consist of him and his women. Soon after the man disappeared. But the women who have finally been freed of his charm still there. Their hatred to men was so high that they started enslaving men because of it. Other than for breeding purpose, the men can’t do anything there. Though at least they are still treated better when they were children,” Burnes said.

...That sounds familiar.

So, a man charmed so many women in the past, and cause trouble to people here in the present.

“FUCK YOU, TIMMY!”
