บท 949: The curse of the sheriff

Not only the young man, but even the other townspeople also reacted weirdly to Kieran's answer. Some even drew distance from Kieran as if they saw a snake or scorpion.

The reaction of the natives made Kieran slightly grin.

He picked up the scent of a sub-mission but he pretended to be confused on the outside.

"What? Why? Any problem with that? Something happened here?"

Kieran pretended knowing nothing as he pointed at the appointment letter in the young man's hand.

"The letter has no issues. I can still understand the appointment letters from those big lords in Dawn City."

"Nice to meet you, Sir 2567. I am Shatterstone's civilian troop captain, Volgen. It's a pleasure to finally meet a newly appointed sheriff. You know, I've been waiting for you for quite a while. Us civilian troops can't really maintain the safety of Shatterstone Town."

The young man diverted the topic and extended his hand.

"The pleasure is all mine."
