Bab 181: Ally

Hans did not have many talents, but he was more talented at sniffing out gossip than a nosy old lady. After a good night's sleep, he had already obtained much news from the streets before the rest of the group had even woken. According to him, he had gotten the news from a female maid, but with his bulbous belly, Yang Ling didn't think that he had the chance to trade his body for the intelligence. Instead, he most likely spent a large number of crystal coins to purchase the information.

After letting the fat man boast for some time, the group finally understood a little about what was going on.

As it turned out, the City Master had just reached Sitana City from Montson two nights previous when he was attacked by assassins. His guards defended him with their lives, and the City Master had luckily escaped calamity, but he was still gravely injured. He had been pierced through the chest with a sword, and was in critical condition.
