Never mind laymen; even experts couldn't see any flaw in this.
However, Alka's true treasure-hunting method was clearly beyond the understanding of even experts.
The general hadn't followed, and indeed, only two soldiers were behind him.
Clouds obscured some of the starlight, and Akka took out his lantern, letting it float beside him for illumination.
The two soldiers, who had already placed their hands on their weapons, silently lowered them.
Alka didn't mind this at all; instead, he smiled.
He continued wandering around the entire village with the two soldiers.
He even made an appearance outside the square once, allowing General Kriel to see him.
This was also to make his final confirmation.
He didn't think the general would spare them at all; this man possessed the absolute power to crush them.
The general's sternness clearly signified ruthlessness. The silent, grim-faced soldiers currently accompanying me only reinforced that conviction.
