Five days after the assassination of the Mona Knight Order's leader, and the fourth day after the entire city was under martial law, a rumor surfaced in the northern slums. A new parts dealer had appeared in the area. This vendor had a considerable number of parts, and the quality was fairly decent—these were parts without much metal fatigue, which could last for over ten years.
This news quickly caught the attention of the Pine Eagle City intelligence department. On the sixth day of martial law, they arrived in the slums and used the surveillance system to observe this rumored dealer for a while.
Subsequently, they concluded that this trader was not a Hero but might have some connection with the Green Forest.
Most of the parts in this guy's possession were semi-new rather than old, some of which were common specifications for Martial Arts prosthetic bodies, but there were very few government army standard issues, so they likely weren't obtained by killing soldiers.
