Abraham and Khalid got carried back to Antonius being carried on a wagon pulled by a cow, stable enough unlike the carts pulled by horses allowing them to have a steady sleep on top there, after reading probably more paper and manuscripts in the past two days than their entire life. It proved a challenging task especially for Khalid who has only joined the literacy program for not more than three months trying his best to understand what does this fancy little alphabet means.
Khalid almost felt like this old man is trying to deliberately torture them, he can see it from his evil grin that although he willingly surrendered his city to them but there are still some distresses inside his mind, and thus the two of them became the perfect culprit suffering through the sea of papers on behalf of their admiral.
