Next to the entrance of the 'Lyan III' tavern, there was an old man with white hair sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was wearing a rather tattered dark brown cloak, a black leather vest with faded paint underneath, and a high-necked shirt stained with grease. The old man kept his head down and remained motionless, seemingly asleep.
When Riley saw the man, who looked like a beggar and a fallen adventurer, she turned her wrist and took out a silver coin with a griffin pattern on it. She stretched her hand out to throw the silver coin in front of the old man, but before the coin could land on the ground, the old man accurately pinched it between two fingers while keeping his head down.
