Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu felt strange about the clerk's words. He thought that he may be lying at first, but then looking at his face made him think differently. Though he thought he should listen to the complete story first.

"The report about the spirit beast was given by a mercenary to the second vice-captain. The second vice-captain thus issued the order to close the town and the routes leading to it. But later, when he didn't return, the other guards went to talk with the town head about the mercenary who gave the report. The town head told them that the mercenary who reported it disappeared too and they can't find him." The clerk explained.

"Is that why mercenaries are standing outside the town center?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yeah, they're angry that more of their mercenaries disappeared and the town head is not responding to their complaints." The clerk answered.

"And what does the second vice-captain look like? Because I don't think I've seen him before." Lin Mu asked his main question.

The clerk did not seem like he minded Lin Mu's question and just spoke honestly.

"Oh, let me just get the identity register. We have portraits of all the town's cultivators in it."

"I didn't know there was an identity register for cultivators." Lin Mu said curiously.

"Oh no, it's actually for all people that the town head considers important, there are other normal people in it too that are not cultivators." The clerk answered and then went away to get the register.

'This is news to me. I didn't know that there was something like this.' Lin Mu spoke inwardly.

"It is technically necessary. Every establishment needs to keep a record of important people." Xukong spoke in Lin Mu's mind.

"I guess the portrait will make it easier to identify the man than just by a vague description." Lin Mu spoke to himself.

The clerk soon returned with the register and showed it to Lin Mu. He flipped it to the page where it showed the second vice-captains portrait. Lin Mu saw the portrait and instantly recognized the man. The person that tried to kill him yesterday was the vice-captain.

"Han Xu?" Lin Mu muttered the name written on the register.

"Yes, that's the vice-captain's name." the clerk responded.

Even after completing his main task, Lin Mu still felt curious about the situation, thus he decided to get more information.
