The night continued.
Richard returned to the courtyard he was renting, stood in the yard, and stared at the night sky, lost in thought.
At that moment, rhythmic knocking sounds of "bang bang bang" came from the courtyard door.
Richard was not surprised at all and walked to the door quickly, opened it, and let the person outside who was knocking come in.
The person who entered was a man in his early twenties, dressed in a black robe, tightly wrapped as if he was afraid of being seen. A gaunt face was hidden inside the hood of the robe, and his eyes occasionally flashed with sharp alertness.
This man, named Mu'en, was a wandering Third-level Wizard Apprentice and an information trafficker. He controlled many ordinary people in Florence City as his informants. He was willing to risk anything to gather information or help with some difficult tasks as long as there was money involved.
