Eric noticed the man standing beside Balha. The man had dark skin, thick eyebrows, a high-bridged nose, and a slightly pointed chin—typical Persian features. He looked to be a bit older than Balha. He wore a dark, simple but sturdy robe with a plain leather belt at his waist. He held a wooden tray, divided into several compartments, which held various Gold Coins, Silver Coins, and Copper Coins that glinted faintly in the sunlight.
Balha then clapped his hands. A moment later, a few soldiers dragged two men over. They appeared to be prisoners. Their heads were heavily injured, their bodies were covered in wounds and bloodstains, and the grime caked on their faces made them unrecognizable. Only the wooden Crosses hanging from their necks revealed their Identity.
