He travelled through town once n n below it stating that this was also the headquarters for the uild There were several posters stuck around the place signalling to their fellonsfolk that they were accepting quests

Merlin made sure not to breathe too heavily, as there was a thick layer of s around the bar due to the various smokers The room smelt like a mix of tobacco and stale alcohol, as well as the musty stench of body odour, it was a horrible smell but Merlin had experienced worse recently

The bartender was about to speak up, until soe hly forty years old walked over to Merlin, placing his large bulging arm around his neck

"This ain't a place for kids to beto remove his arm The last line he delivered felt"Those who don't understand their place usually end up dead"

The only person who didn't seeet the memo was the man currently with a knife to his throat After a brief attele, which had failedthe man's arm behind him, Merlin attempted to reconcile with the man, to which he only received death threats and insults in return

Feeling helpless in the situation, he turned to the bartender whoas if he had no other option, Merlin sheathed his dagger before grabbing the an a short chant and seconds later he received a notification
