Benjamin and the old man were still moving about in the secret passageway at the outskirts of Havenwright.
Throughout the journey, Benjamin listened to many stories about the old man’s youth: His adventurous days as the mercenary, the whole process of the church raiding the mercenaries and how he escaped away from the church…
The old man’s story was scattered here and there, but within these short stories, Benjamin could tell how prosperous the mercenaries were in the kingdom. They were adventurers with unique skills, and heroic tales of them fighting against magical creatures became legends cited by poets....
Benjamin was absorbed by the stories.
However, the old man was not just boasting about the glorious days of his youth.
He even explained how he became the man he currently was.
