Scam!

Ban and George turned their heads in the same direction after hearing that shout. 

It came from a guard standing not far away from the huge gate. The guard was pointing his sword towards the two of them without fear. 

"This is the first time I've seen you around here, state your business or else leave the premises!" The guard stated without backing down. 

Ban frowned at the guard's attitude. It was his first time coming to this area so he was not familiar with the workings around here. However, he did not recall the Adventurers dining in the Kuys Bar mentioning about people getting shooed away if the guard was not familiar with them. 

Ban stared at George, waiting for his explanation. As a carriage driver, he must have experienced his fair share of Adventurers going around here to shop. In fact, he might have even guided some of them inside if they were not familiar with it, especially those that came from another city.
