"I… please help me get my brother—no, even some news will do," he said. "I am willing to increase the atonement points I have to carry out."

"I’m not sure you have enough to offer to mobilize our resources," Althea said. Her tone was not dismissive at all, simply stating facts from someone who supposedly was just an ’employee’.

"I… I wasn’t a slave in Basset Town," he said. He already said this during the inquisition. "I wasn’t bound by oath—I was born there, there should be information you’d find useful, right?" _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

He was not a slave in either territory and wasn’t required to take oaths there so he could tell as much as needed.

Althea looked at him. She hadn’t had the chance to read the reports yet so they hadn’t begun any ’follow up’ interviews and interrogations just yet. This was basically just doing it in advance.

Seeing as Althea was ready to listen (while being fed by her daughter), Ansel took out a Voice Blocker and activated it.

Althea nodded in approval before turning to Jest. "What do you know?"

"While my stature doesn’t allow me to be privy to a lot of things, I can tell more about the every day life and what we found threatening."

To most people, this was useless information. They’d dismiss Jest and even blame him for wasting their time. However, Althea and the others knew never to underestimate even the smallest detail.

At this, Althea nodded for him to tell them more, and Jest heaved a sigh of relief.

First, he told them about the everyday life of the citizens there which was, for the most part, just the typical life in this world. The difference was that there were a lot more merchants from other places there than most.

Basset Town could be said to be the less-developed and less-planned Ferrol of the area.

That was to say: It did not have any special resources, technology, or mines of its own, but it took advantage of its location between Bleulle City and Warrior City—even if it was thousands of kilometers away from either of them.

He also told them about the most famous families in their Town—the ones even the most uneducated citizen would hear of. There were also a few gangs and powers he mentioned, though it was limited to whoever was active in the area he lived in.

While Jest did not have a complete list of the players in their territory, he did have the main ones. Interestingly, he mentioned a familiar group.

This group affected the daily lives of even the poorest of peasants there, and it was obvious that Jest hated them in particular.

"The Rongo Mercenary Team is the most powerful and disruptive force there," he said. "They arrived about two decades ago… setting up base there. Immediately, the already-difficult living conditions got worse."

"Of course, there was a lot of bullying and suffering even before that—but they took it to another level," he said, gritting his teeth. "They treated human lives as playthings.

"They would pull whatever women—or men—entered their fancy and do their way with them, and no one could say anything about it!"

"They would beat up anyone they thought to be eyesores until they were half-dead!"
