"What I do is my business." Foucault turned around and saw a human merchant dressed in brown, riding a horned horse.

"I understand, I understand—it's just that I want to tell you that doing good isn't always so straightforward; good intentions can easily lead to bad outcomes." The brown-clad merchant dismounted and gave Foucault and the others a standard noble greeting from the inland: "I am Kakafil, a merchant from the borderlands."

"A merchant?" Seeing Kakafil's standard greeting, Foucault felt a bit surprised.

Meanwhile, the instigator of this scene—the mysterious knight—merely watched coldly without saying a word.

As if all of this had nothing to do with him.

"Are you from the inland?" Foucault glanced back, then shifted his attention from the mysterious knight to the merchant before him.

"Young master, I know him..." Lange whispered to Foucault, sharing what he knew about Kakafil.

Lange hadn't wasted his free time in recent days—he used it to learn about the borderlands.

In case it might come in handy someday.

The importance of intelligence was something he learned from Ogre; coincidentally, Kakafil was among the information he had gathered.

This was learned from a noble's illegitimate child in a small border town, who claimed Kakafil was a cunning merchant.

However, strangely enough, this guy seemed to have a decent reputation among the commoners in the town, which made the newcomer Lange a bit wary.

'A cunning merchant?' Foucault questioned internally; he wasn't one to believe everything he heard.

Because of Kakafil's earlier reminder, he held some skepticism towards Lange's information.

"My ancestors are from the borderlands; they just lived inland for some time." Kakafil smiled.

"I'm Foucault, and he's Lange. We're from the inland. Do you have something to say? Share your thoughts." After introducing himself and Lange, Foucault got straight to the point.

He found this peculiar merchant somewhat intriguing.

Doing good isn't always straightforward; how else can one do good?@@novelbin@@
