Bab 145: Time To Go Home

In retrospect, getting invited by a penniless new Lord with no background on his turf was definitely one of the most straightforward and quickest ways to get a Stele. Heck! He didn't even have to get invited. If he was shameless enough, he could even try to get hired as a servant by applying for any job. 

In a new town, there was no shortage of job offers.

With this realization, the way he looked at his three new subordinates shifted dramatically. These three priests had not been summoned by the Stele and therefore were not automatically loyal to him.

Perhaps they too were wolves in sheep's clothing using his urgent need for priests to infiltrate his territory. Even if their intentions were not so malicious, wasn't this the kind of scheme that large organizations use to place sleeper spies among their enemies or rivals?
