A young boy was kneeling in front of Fernando Bahl, the head of the Bahl family.
Liu was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the situation, feeling a deep sense of fear.
He had never imagined being in front of such a powerful figure.
Fernando reassured Liu that he wouldn't be harmed and encouraged him to speak calmly.
Liu explained that Zed had left a note about the scam at the Myers Cathedral and the involvement of the local military.
Fernando was impressed by Zed's insight and logical reasoning.
The note detailed the suspicion of corruption involving the local military and the fake priest at Myers Cathedral.
Fernando was intrigued by Zed's ability to gather evidence and form a coherent argument.
He decided to send a message to Bahl, asking him to relay the information.
Meanwhile, in the underground prison, conditions were grim.
Soldiers were uneasy about their duties, as the prison was notorious for its harsh conditions.
The presence of Zed, a mage without magic, was puzzling.
He was seen as a prisoner, but his physical strength and endurance were impressive.
Commander Polman, a local military leader, arrived at the prison.
Polman was known for his corruption and was not afraid to confront the Emperor's authority.
He was suspicious of Zed's connection to Bahl and Arahan.
Polman received a message from Bahl, warning him about the investigation into corruption at Myers Cathedral.
He ripped the message apart, enraged by the interference from Bahl.
Polman threatened Zed, but he remained calm.
Suddenly, a magical binding appeared, trapping Polman and his soldiers.
The binding was a powerful magic, likely from the Black Knights.
Zed took advantage of the situation, using his physical strength to break free.
As the soldiers were trapped, Zed confronted Polman.
Polman tried to use magic, but it was ineffective against the binding.
Zed's calm demeanor remained unchanged.
Polman's anger turned to desperation, but he was unable to escape.
The binding was too strong, and Polman realized he was trapped.
Zed's actions were a testament to his strength and strategic thinking.
The situation was unfolding with Zed at the center, using his unique abilities to outmaneuver his opponents.
The involvement of the Black Knights added another layer of complexity to the situation.
