"Did you hear the rumors? There's an intermediate knight that appeared in Mawa City with an elf and a mount wolf. The cost of that insane!" As the news began to spread in Mawa City, it spread like wildfire, and it became more exaggerated.
There was a mercenary group that occupied Mawa City. They were considered as a legal group of mercenaries. However, sometimes they would join up with a group of thieves to do immoral businesses. Whilst this group of mercenaries had also received the news of Abel, many of them had lost their interest when they heard that there was an intermediate knight. They were also no match against an intermediate knight, and they didn't dare to attack a noble motorcade. At the end of the day, there was always someone inside a group who was daring and greedy. Those individuals would be willing to attack nobles as long as they were able to earn gold from it.
