The strange owner of Hunger Mountain easily called out Murphy's name and referred to him as the "famed" lord, clearly indicating that people outside Transylvania had already taken notice of Murphy.
But the lord was not surprised.
Shani had once warned her that the Thieves Guild established by the Hobbits monitored the entire continent, being the largest intelligence organization on the continent. Sulk Flywheel was a mysterious Half-body Man who could understand the situation through the Thieves Guild's channels, which wasn't an outlandish thing.
From Murphy's personal reflections, he believed that anyone who could establish themselves in a place like Hunger Mountain couldn't be some naive sweetheart; Sulk Flywheel's act of recruiting a bunch of Cannibal Demons as guards may seem silly, but this guy is definitely one of the most complex individuals Murphy has faced since his rebirth.
It is widely known that in most contexts, "complexity" translates to "danger".
