Antis' expression immediately became strange, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Follow me."
It was still that small house under the city gate, but this time there was an extra postman next to it.
Antis seemed to know the postman as well and nodded in greeting upon seeing him.
Sitting down inconveniently in his full body armor, Antis leaned back against the uneven wall, clasped his hands to his chest, and said slowly, "I knew you'd come back when Little Bard screamed those words before he died because the only friend he had was you."
Roland stared into the other man's eyes and asked, "I thought you were a friend of his too."
"Just an acquaintance, not a friend."
"You're still distantly related."
