Chapter 434: Butch Vs Caecus
"I have already completed the task, my lord. I paid a wandering merchant to forge me an identity." Caecus took out a wooden title which had his name written on it. The name of a certain village was also carved on the title.
This was a simple identity plate commonly used by the commoners. This was usually handed out by officials, but some legitimate groups or organizations could also make one.
Alaric smiled as he inspected the wooden plate. The money he gave to Caecus was only sufficient to buy him clothes and food. There wasn’t enough to pay for an identity plate.
Alaric purposely did this as a form of test for him and Caecus didn’t disappoint him.
As for how he did, he didn’t bother to ask. What was important was that he had completed the task.
"Well done." He praised.
Caecus remained expressionless after hearing his praise.
"By now, I’m sure you are already aware of my identity. You should change how you address me so the others won’t say anything about you." Alaric reminded him.
"I obey, Your Highness." Caecus complied without hesitation.
In the past few days that he was in the town, he had indeed inquired about Alaric’s identity. He had also familiarized himself with the town. He had even infiltrated the outer parts of the estate and mapped out the layout.
As for the inner parts of the estate, he didn’t venture too deeply since he sensed that it would endanger his life.
"Follow me."
