Amberser was quite curious, so he tried to prod this Akhilov for information about the Tiflin Kingdom.
Alas, the bartender was a professional through and through; intelligence was a bargaining chip for them. No matter how Amberser tried to beat around the bush for information, he couldn't get much, at most only a tidbit.
That sage who had stabilized the kingdom's foundation seemed to be having some trouble.
Whether it was that he no longer could extend his life because of his age, fell ill for some reason, or had already been secretly assassinated… The specifics were unknown, but it was common knowledge that he hadn't made a public appearance in many years, and the kingdom was sliding downhill because of the sage's disappearance.
As to exactly how it was sliding downhill, Amberser was unable to find out.
And for that bit of information, Amberser had spent nearly ten Gold Coins.
This Tiflin certainly seemed to be the tavern's best seller.
