Or perhaps hearing footsteps approaching, the man opened his eyes and looked at Liens with some vigilance.
But thinking that things were different now, his vigilance decreased a bit, and his tense muscles relaxed.
"Sir, is there something you need from me?"
Following his old habits, the man quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and asked Liens with a beaming smile.
He didn't know Liens, but in these times, anyone holding a weapon was not to be trifled with. It was always right to be polite, lest someone cut him down with a blade before he could even regret it.
"Sit... I want to talk to you."
Liens gestured for the man to sit down, while he himself sat cross-legged on the ground facing the man, then took out a few silver coins of the Hartwin Kingdom and handed them to the man.
Looking at the silver coins in his hand, the man was a little stunned, wondering if people were so generous now, it couldn't be blood money, could it?
