A bounty on the bandits

[You gave the Crowman vendor a suspicious look and demanded to know whether he was secretly colluding with the Sparrowman Bandits to deliberately swindle outsiders like you.]

["Absolutely not!" The vendor hurriedly waved his hands, denying it outright.]

["The Sparrowman Bandits are a tremendous menace to us Crowfolk too. Crowfolk often fall victim to their theft when they let their guard down. If you don't believe me, go look at the noticeboards in the village square. There's a standing bounty on the Sparrowman Bandits posted there, along with plenty of cases of Crowfolk villagers having their belongings stolen!" the Crowman vendor explained righteously. His implication was that the Crowfolk had no fondness for the Sparrowman Bandits either; they simply couldn't root them out because they hid too well.]

The crooked Crowman merchant made it sound convincing, but Mu You didn't believe a word. This Crowman Tribe had existed for countless years. However convincing those Sparrowman Bandits' disguises were, if the tribe really committed to investigating, how could they fail to find a single clue?

Mu You remembered the noticeboard he had seen when entering the village. It had clearly stated that theft was strictly forbidden within the tribe. Moreover, this village had "guards," who served as the police. Victims of theft could report their cases to them.

Having inexplicably lost 2,000 Divinity, Mu You certainly wasn't about to let the matter drop. He planned to investigate this tribe first.
