Bab 171: Ambush

                  Someone carrying a sword of that size was bound to attract the attention of many people. Still, in the end, once Zaos stopped and jumped from the carriage, his height surprised a lot of people. He wasn't exactly short, but he certainly wasn't the tallest soldier around. Regardless, Zaos couldn't care less about it. So, he just watched the carriage while Merkin entered the shop.

"Don't you want to see the magic books? The quality here isn't that bad," Merkin said.

"No, I am going to keep an eye on things here," Zaos replied. "Do you intend to stay here for long?"

"It will depend on my friend if he has prepared the merchandise," Merkin replied. "Why do you ask?"

"The more we stay in this city, the more people will learn about your business," Zaos said.
