From MC's perspective:
East City,
The bearded wizard spilled valuable information. But still, it's not my job to interfere. And I want to return to the Capital as soon as possible.
Then I thought of something before asking, "So, what about the work?" Earlier, they told me that I should quietly follow them.
The bearded wizard panicked. But still, he gritted his teeth and said, "The stolen goods were taken back to the Capital. So we need these people as an escort."
On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I was looking for a way out of this place. But I didn't expect that the people behind the scenes would be cautious.
I can guess what they are going to do with the stolen items. Either they are going to put it up for auction or sell it privately.
Then I asked for further information regarding the transport. I'm certain that they are not going to use rail transport. When I collected enough information.
Pfff!
