When Atlas heard this question, he smiled and replied, "Because you are alive. You continue your life in a small town without even thinking about what could happen at any moment. It's a dangerous situation, truly dangerous. At any moment, a higher-level monster could appear out of nowhere. What will you do then?"
He wasn't wrong. After all, this wasn't an unprecedented event. Still, thanks to the strength of the warriors in the town, even if the monster couldn't be killed, it could be driven back.
"So what should we do? We know you're a duke. How can we find work in a place that could become a major city, and perhaps even surpass the capital in value?" Kai asked.
When Atlas heard this question, he looked at Kai with a puzzled expression. It seemed that Kai's inability to understand what Atlas was trying to say had disappointed him.
It seemed like a deeper discussion on this topic was needed.
