Lol... City lord has no idea just how impudent he was... Frieren is not only the mage of the hero party, but also the greatest and only apprentice of the great mage Flamme who's magic is still protecting his city...
I have a feeling that the knight that could resist the scale was the lords son.
@Liedral Im sure smarter men than the lord would've made the same mistake. the last time anyone saw an elf in that town was when the lord's grandfather was the lord. the current lord probably only heard about elves in bedtime stories
