A Dangerous Bet

For around fifteen minutes, Mayeux stand there, Belarion on the corner of the rom something dozing off and is doing his hardest to stay awake and Aeryon who is reading the bamboo slip with great concentration.

"Where is the continuation?" Aeryon said and Mayeux knows that Aeryon had read all of the words written in the first part of the bamboo slip

And knowing this, he knows that Jayeux life is now spared.

This is a hunch he has.

If his lord find no use in the method of Jayeux, he would not ask for the continuation

Since he ask for the continuation, then it means his lord probably already decided to follow the method outlined in the article.

"Men" Mayeux shouted and someone outside entered the tent.

A box is presented toward Mayeux and Mayeux took the box, opens it and there is a few dozen bamboo slip in it.

"Please" Mayeux gestured toward the seat, inviting Aeryon to sit down.
