บท 298: Old Man

Feeling a presence before him, the old man with the straw hat raised his head slightly and glanced at Khal before raising two fingers.

[He is indicating you have to pay two Gold Coins.]

'Two? That's rather expensive, no? That is exactly two portions of food for two people.' Khal exclaimed with shock, but once he thought about it more, he realized its price was indeed reasonable.

Watching as the old man was staring at him in silence and was waiting patiently, Khal took out two gold coins from his ring before handing them over to him.

The old man accepted the money and handed a pill to Khal, but just as he was about to pull his hand back, his movements halted for a single second before acting as though nothing happened at all.

Khal obviously noticed this and saw that the old man eyed his bracelet for a second before acting normal. This confused him deeply.
