[quote=Vanessa][color=lightblue]"I guess that means we made the right call in pushing on, rather than staying back in that village. Wouldn't want to waste time if your hubby's the kinda guy who'd throw his life away at any moment, for the silliest of reason. Humans... Hah... Always so wasteful and careless with their lives... Even though they only live for such a short time. I never could understand that."[/color][/quote]

Iskah was about to speak in response, but sighed in resignation and simply decided to hang her head in contemplation. "[color=coral]Yeah, humans make a lot of things more complicated than they need to be. But hey, that's why we're here to show 'em how it's really done, eh?[/color]" Rie was the one who replied instead.

"[color=coral]Now, you asked earlier if I had any Zipanguese spellbooks or scrolls, right? Well, I'm glad you asked because...[/color]" Rie stood up and quickly went over to her fancy cart and started rummaging through her merchandise, her two short feet dangling over at the side. "[color=coral]Ah-ha! Here we are![/color]" The Danuki returned to the bonfire, arms full of rolled-up scrolls and stacks of small papers tied with a string. "[color=coral]Because that's exactly what I'm planning to sell! I heard Ortus is magic-starved so I decided to get as many of these as I can.[/color]"

Iskah frowned and had to comment. "You... do realize that Ortus intentionally starved themselves of magic, right? Ever since they broke off from The Order and the Chief God, they also broke off from the other gods. Magic, as a whole, is seen as an extension of The Order and the gods so the field is casted off too." The Lizardman said. "Only the Lot Knights seem to practice any sort of magic in the whole kingdom right now, and I don't think they're looking to buy spellbooks anytime soon."

"[color=coral]...Ahhh, I'm sure I'll make a killing anyway.[/color]" Rie dismissed Iskah's remarks and faced Vanessa. "[color=coral]Anyway, wanna take a look at these? Got a specific spell or set of spells in mind? Oh, and no discounts![/color]"
