Annan turned his head following Isaac's gaze.
— Those were men dressed like enforcers.
They wore jackets with many zippers, and in their hands they carried a kind of leather weapon that reminded Annan of a slapper, striding menacingly from the distance.
And the one they were chasing was a middle-aged man who, though well-dressed and seemingly wealthy, for some unknown reason appeared exceptionally panicked as he stumbled forward in his escape.
"That weapon is called 'Whale's Beard.'"
Isaac explained to Annan from the side: "Because this thing was originally made from the baleen plates of a baleen whale.
You know about baleen plates? Baleen whales don't have teeth, and the baleen serves as their teeth when filter feeding. It's quite elastic and is an excellent material. Since the elven era, there have been old sailors who have used whale's beard to make special self-defense weapons.
