In the end, under the assumption that this young man had left his family under some odd circumstances, Mage Lian handed Michael some money before leaving.
10 gold coins and 30 silver.
Now alone, Michael found a quiet corner in a restaurant and finally took a proper look at the pouch.
He counted the coins carefully.
"A gold coin?"

There was no further explanation.
Not that he needed one. The coin's appearance alone made its purpose clear.
Money.
However, what he wasn't sure of was how valuable these coins actually were.
It wasn't that he doubted their value—far from it.
Given the way Mage Lian treated him, he doubted the old mage would give him something too small to be useful or too large to seem excessive.
But that was just his assumption.
Who knew what kind of person Mage Lian really was?
Michael had only known him for a few hours.
