Wilbur stopped and turned around when he heard that. He looked at the two guards and smiled. He said, "I am indeed here to look for someone. I wonder if you guys can help me."
The guards looked at each other, then they both laughed at the same time. Working at the ruler's residence meant that they surpassed most ordinary cultivators, after all. Ordinary cultivators had to live their lives in fear because it was hard to survive in Tevinter Town.
However, being the guard for the ruler's residence was the equivalent of life-saving insurance. No one would easily attack a ruler's residence guard, after all. Otherwise, they would be punished by the ruler for the offense.
The guard said, "It's not impossible for us to help you, but you have to show some sincerity."
Wilbur understood what he meant. He then took out two gold coins from his dimension ring and said, "Please accept this."
"Two gold coins?" the guard asked.
The guard said with slight disgust, "Alright. Tell me who you're looking for."
Wilbur frowned and hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know the name of the person I'm looking for because he never told me his name, but he's my friend. Please help me ask around in the ruler's residence if my friend is working here."
"We can only help you ask around after our shift. You better leave an address for us."
"Alright. I'll be waiting at the tavern at twelve in the afternoon tomorrow."
"Alright, we got it. We'll try our best to help you ask around, but we're not sure if your friend is working at the ruler's residence, so you shouldn't get your hopes up."
