"Yes yes, he is that type of Worthless. He came for a visit a few moons ago and now he is going to help me sell my goods." Explained Woldemir trying to avoid uncalled for punishments, these people are notoriously known for double standards.

"Very well, you may enter. But if you commit a crime this time, you won't get so lucky. Either one of you. Understand?" Told one of the Gate keepers as they were abnormally laughing with each other. Afterwards he turns his head up and shouts, "Open the Gates!"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxXQpjl9Oy
Afterwards the great wooden gate started opening. It was quite flattering to see a ten meter tall gate open, showing a 500 house Town bit by bit along the way.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnBtOysMJ3
The strength and people needed to open it isn't exactly small either for a door that is 16 meters across, one simple Guard can't ever open it regardless of his strength.

Upon entering Crutal Town, Mogranius was dumbfounded on how much the city expanded behind these 10 meter tall walls. Last time he was here there were roughly 200 houses.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnstNXgnaTa
Now he is witnessing well above 500 houses! More than the eye can capture at once, it is just a miracle. Crutal Town couldn't get more beautiful, it will likely never fit the description of an eye sore.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0lIAobV2c
They made their way towards the Town center after walking through a 5 meter wide alleyway for a while. It was very populated, far exceeding the number of people this Town can hold, especially this month when it is harvesting season.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45d4pF9Kq
People from everywhere who aren't living in this Town come to sell their crops, the competition is rough although it is bursting with buyers since this domain holds over 3,000 people.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmoAep0ZGJ
When they reach the Town's centre, they see a lot of men and women trying to sell their crops. Some carrying them with carts and some have settled in a small wooden booth, dragging more attention.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj12u90WpY
"Fresh wheat grains here."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3I7GKooVd
"Get your potatoes here."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n0UwE4Ztj
"Get them while they are fresh."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBhe0l24X
"I have the most orange Carrots."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eAX4h3WZl
Shoutings like that were heard over and over from people going an extra mile to sell their crops, it shows motivation in a way but at the same time it can become ear piercing when so many are yelling at once, not to mention customer murmurs.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6urx2jUc3
Taking a left turn away from the Town's centre, the bookshop they were aiming to reach was very close by. It only took half a minute of walking to reach it.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkoQybeAKx
When they entered the bookshop, The bookseller instantly notices new "Customers" since he isn't used to illustratios or Ignites being crazy about reading, it isn't so popular yet.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwTgQDhiIR
He gets a little disappointed when he sees Woldemir and Eric walk in but still welcomes them with a good greet and after asks, "Who is your friend there Woldemir?" Thinking it's a book buyer.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsxpJlNQuH
Knowing that this topic is rather delicate to talk in the open, and of course trying to avoid any trouble coming from the illustratios, Woldemir replied. "He is a friend, here to talk to you about something very important. We need to talk privately or else we can be as good as dead if anyone else overheard."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RwEFnJ7O1
His eyes jerking open, comprehending the importance of this situation, Stefan answered. "Of course, let's go to the storage room in my basement. No soul could hear us there."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUahrUyWwE
Eric can't be a part of this conversation, or else he will be exposed to topics he isn't yet ready to handle so Woldemir assigned him with a little job. "Eric you stay here, knock three times if anyone walks in the shop to alarm us."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovNcAKIWzl
Swiftly noticing that his father is trying to hide something again, similar to everything else he hid for the past 15 years, Eric just nodded in agreement and grabbed the closest book for comfort.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVwTeD2CF0
Making their way down to the basement, they didn't find much to see down there. Only wooden crates who were either empty, cracked or filled with books halfway, rarely full. Some half full bookshelves were here and there, forced in to fit in this small storage room.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zWjMqXZVG
Taking a seat above crates, lighting a little candle over a big crate in between them after, now they set a better atmosphere to hold a proper conversation.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQgrp2mOSM
With his tone staggering quiet after his first word, Woldemir started shedding light upon this abnormal situation. "I'm going to sound like a madman right now for saying this but, this man skipped two hundred years and appeared here in our time and year."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQgnwlPkr8
Pulling his head back, highly doubting he coughed once and expressed. "You got the Madman part right! How on Earth would he skip two hundred years and appear here?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEUfoUcKch
Stefan isn't buying this of course, he finds himself smart enough to not believe everything anyone says but of course he had to crack a little joke about it. "Seriously, how? I wanna do it as well to get out of this illustratio infested place."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEV7akK1AZ
Pulling a little golden feather in this conversation, Woldemir replied. "I still have doubts myself but Eric saw him in action blasting Fireballs, we both know that Eric never lies and we both know that there aren't supposed to be any Witches or Wizards anymore!"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZUaZfmX25
"You have a point there, that kid barely even speaks and Magic is banned. But can you at least explain how you "skipped" these two hundred years and came here? I'm sure being shot from a Catapult wouldn't do the trick." Stefan spoke, again with never ending sarcasm and jokes. For a bookworm he sure has a big mouth.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNiLp62LOO
Trying to push jokes away, even from Stefan, he got straight to the point. "Mogranius survived because he skipped through the entire war when Akareas unleashed a teleportation spell towards him."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxIXuYHE2Z
Unwilling to drop sarcasm, Stefan added. "Right and I'm the Queen of Fruit tarts."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATSA6L5ZkY
Turning his head towards Mogranius, who hasn't yet spoken since he got here, Woldemir pointed out the obvious. "This man won't believe us no matter what we say, so show us a little Fire."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeiDt7QkN3
"As you wish but I hope you know what you are doing." Gently told Mogranius who has been holding in a lot of sarcasm outbursts, if Stefan is the Queen of sarcasm then Mogranius would be the King.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMybYr5mHT
After that Mogranius breathes in and as he breathes out delicately, fire bursts out of his palm and grants proper illumination to the entire room.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHGzTTqCYX
This isn't a fireball to be clear but just a small amount of fire rising above the palm of his right hand.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8429QkNKZO
After it starts off from the palm, it goes down to the back of his hand as well. Reaching down towards the fingers after, Mogranius' right hand became completely surrounded by that fire that started off like a little pimple in the beginning.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAqdYLfC4h
His face turning pale which is weird because he is close to a hot fire, Stefan asked. "You are a Fire Blaster alright, but how can I help you?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd5DXWaCpn
Thankful that Stefan wants to help, Woldemir explained slowly and quietly. "My friend, you've spent your entire life buying and selling books, I'm sure you can help us get unique books that will prove useful, maybe about Teleportation? And a bit more knowledge on how the war happened would be useful too of course."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGWqkbZTuH
Breaking another sweat, still unable to forget that already shunned Fire, Stefan spoke swiftly. "With those I can be useful up until a Certain point, help yourself with any book you please sir Mogranius. And about the unique books, what exactly are you looking for?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDgYVd5CIa
Smirking, happy that he started asserting dominance here, Mogranius answered. "Teleportation books, or Akareas' Journal maybe?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU0fcLeGB0
Stefan backed up Woldemir's words although he didn't know. "The Gaster Castle likely has those, if they didn't burn them that is. They don't really show stuff like that in a gold coated display."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC9krrXmgJ
Seeing that everything leads to the Gaster Castle, Mogranius replied. "I guess I need to cast an invisibility spell on myself and sneak into the Castle, other options seem to be nonexistent."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyI6ENLMGw
Knock knock knock!
