"I have already completed the task, my lord. I paid a wandering merchant to forge me an identity." Caecus took out a wooden title which had his name written on it. The name of a certain village was also carved on the title.
This was a simple identity plate commonly used by the commoners. This was usually handed out by officials, but some legitimate groups or organizations could also make one.
Alaric smiled as he inspected the wooden plate. The money he gave to Caecus was only sufficient to buy him clothes and food. There wasn't enough to pay for an identity plate.
Alaric purposely did this as a form of test for him and Caecus didn't disappoint him.
As for how he did, he didn't bother to ask. What was important was that he had completed the task.
"Well done." He praised.
Caecus remained expressionless after hearing his praise.
