Bab 224: 223. Stealing books is not considered theft_1

Lu Ban quickly remembered his first night of revelry in Abandoned Capital.

Of those who were traveling with him at the time, only the inexperienced young man called Stone survived.

It was from Stone that Lu Ban had first learned about the author Ancient Capital, and now, in investigating Ancient Capital's disappearance, he once again encountered Stone, a connection that seemed almost destined.

"You two know each other?"

Cui Siter was somewhat surprised, as after all, Lu Ban was clearly not from Abandoned Capital, this foreign domain; the people he could know would have to be those he met on a job.

And for a typical job in Silent Lands, either the pedestrians would die or get hurt. It just felt odd for someone to stand here in such good shape.

"Sort of."

Lu Ban answered as he sized up Stone. The once frail boy had now become quite handsome, even in an ill-fitting old suit he had a dashing quality, completely different from the menacing thugs beside him.
