Blue Star was completely taken aback by the guard's behavior and attitude.
The only time she had ever seen such action was when the city was under siege, and they had no time or mood to cater to anyone.
As for the exorbitant price, she was even more flabbergasted and wondered what was going on.
"Excuse my companion over here, Sir." While she was baffled, Lightning Blade was quick to be chummy with the guards and took out 4 gold coins.
As someone who had been in numerous adventures, he knew better than to just quickly pay up to get on their good side to gather information.
"We were traveling in the wilderness to train ourselves, so it's been a long day. The money is quite steep for even us to pay, so is there an event going on, Sir?"
When the guard saw that he was willing to pay so readily and even used a polite tone, the guard happily accepted the payment and nodded.
