Chapter 140: I Never Stop (2)
“This... this is...!” shouted the worker, eyes widening in shock. “This is a recommendation letter from Lord Gyro Shubil, the seventh Sword of the South?!”
The letter Keter had presented was not from Zerphi Luban, the current Sword of the South, but from the previous one, Gyro Shubil. He was so famous that there was no one who didn’t know about him.
“You’re saying you brought a recommendation letter from Lord Gyro, who vanished without a trace one day?”
“Then that young man must be Lord Gyro’s successor!”
“That explains everything!”
If Keter was indeed Gyro’s student or son, it made sense how he had received sponsorship from a high noble and how he managed to obtain a recommendation from him.
As murmurs swept through the crowd, the worker shouted, “Everyone, please don’t jump to conclusions! We haven’t verified the authenticity of this recommendation letter yet. I’ll compare the seal and signature right now.”
Every Sword of the South signed in their own blood, which was how authenticity was verified. The worker took the letter and disappeared into the back.
While the verification was underway, Minerva leaned over and whispered to Keter, “Is that truly a letter from Gyro Shubil?”
“If you want to ask questions, stop being so formal. Otherwise, I won’t answer.”
“... Where is Lord Gyro? How did you get that letter? Please, tell me.”
“You know him?”
