After getting our stories straight last night,I decided to put the plan into action.

First thing in the morning I left the inn we were staying and headed out of the town. I was heading for the spot where I and Munnji had hidden all our most valuable stuff like the blood cores and the elemental core of the crocodile we defeated just before we left the forest.

I passed the city gate without any strict checking , just by showing the guard on duty my temporary identification and the token Faley Mint gave me.

I continued walking forward for about 25 minutes in a slow enough speed so as to not raise any attention and arrived at a forest. It was the forest where we had buried our weapons and our valuables before entering the city.

*Step* *Step* *Step*

I slowly approached the place where the valuables where buried , trying to notice if anyone was following me.

I stopped at a big tree about 10 m tall that had a big crown of leaves that blocked the sun completely. To the right side of it a small distance away was a boulder and there is where the valuables were, under the boulder.

'Hmm...it seems that no one is following me at the moment and the place where we buried the valuables is undisturbed. This is a good thing.'

I approached the boulder , squared and jammed my hands under it .

'Haaat.'

I started lifting the boulder slightly and moved it slowly away.

The boulder was not a small one but in fact one that at least weighted 400 kg ,making me put some effort into moving it ,but not much .

I quickly checked the contents of the sack and after I confirmed there was nothing missing I started to head back again.

I once again passed the city gate without any problem and went back to the inn to meet with Munnji.

....

I passed by the inn owner as I was going to my room and he stared at my sack I had and asked me if he should prepare breakfast for us,but I politely declined.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

I entered the room and sat down on the table face to face with Munnji. Onela was sitting in the bed and tending to the baby.

"Did you retrieve all our belongings?"

"Yeah it was easy with the token ,no one asked me anything."

" Great, so now we proceed as planned."

Munnji got out from the window without being seen and I went out the regular way, but not before asking the innkeeper the location of the branch of the Trinity Merchant Group in the city.

After learning the location I met up again with Munnji at a back alley before going to the Trinity Merchant Group branch office.

We moved towards the center of the city as the innkeeper told me , passed the North Market and after turning left we came in front of a magnificent 3 storey building that was built of a white stone .

The building somewhat resembled old Greek architecture with the two tall columns in front of the entrance holding a huge rectangular block of some kind , blue smooth and shiny stone. In the blue stone were carved some exquisite characters.

These characters were the words of the language this empire used . They were similar to Chinese or Japanese characters.

The words were carved in an exquisite way, making them look like they were not carved from human hands but by water that slowly flowing through.

I entered the massive building and the first thing that caught my attention was not the amazing decor of the inside or the buzzing crowd if people inside, but the drop in temperature .

As soon as I stepped one foot inside the temperature fell by a couple of degrees instantly. The temperature imediately became comfortable for me. It was just like having the air conditioner on.

I didn't linger long on the feeling not wanting to attract attention and headed straight to one of the counters attending to clients.

At the counter I choose there was a youthful about 20 year old girl with short black hair ,black eyes and a charming smile that never faded.

"Hello sir, welcome to Trinity Merchant Groups branch office in Palos city ,how can I assist you today?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr Faley Mint . I have some business to discuss with him."

The girl too a good look at me from head to toe and without loosing her smile she said calmly.

"I'm sorry sir , Mr Mint is not here at the moment ,but you can leave a message for him if you like."

*Sigh*

' It seems like she is not taking this seriously. She is probably thinking I am someone who has come to pich a business idea to Faley and from my atire I look just like a ordinary citizen and not someone Mr Faley would want to do business with.

Well this was within my expectations.'

I took from my robe the token Faley gave me and put it in front of her.

She first looked somewhat displeased that I didn't just leave a message for Faley and then went on my way, but took something from my robe and put it in front of her.

She was probably thinking I was trying to bribe her ,but when she looked down and saw the token her eyes went wide and she could barely put together two words

" This..this is..

She took the token in her hand and started looking it as if to validate it's authenticity.

After about one minute of inspection she with an apologetic face stood up and bowed deeply towards me.

" I am sorry for my rudeness. Please forgive me and let me call someone who can help you."
