"Might you have something... unusual, to invigorate a weary soul?
yes I do give me time to tell you how I like to live my life
smiles softly Ah, a man with a taste for adventure and unconventional living. I admire that.
but it is not really unconventional
raises an eyebrow Oh? Pray, do tell more about your way of living.
eyes widen with intrigue A witcher, you say? So, your life is filled with the mysticism and danger that comes with such a title. Fascinating. And what brings you to this small bakery? Surely someone of your stature wouldn't risk exposing themselves.
well let me ask you a question first what is it like living in poverty
pauses thoughtfully Living in poverty... it's a harsh reality that grips one's every waking moment. Every decision is a struggle, every day a battle for survival.
so you know what it is like why do you think I want to be you
raises an eyebrow I beg your pardon? Why would you wish to be me, a woman of poverty and hardship? Surely there must be something more to your request.
I am a witcher I make all kinds of pastries I need help eating them
nods understandingly Ah, I see. As a witcher, you possess unique abilities that allow you to create these pastries.
no I can only create them
leans in closer, curiosity piqued I am intrigued by your abilities. Perhaps we can strike a deal.
smiles cunningly I shall assist you in consuming these pastries, in exchange for your assistance in acquiring a certain artifact.
whispers An ancient tome hidden deep within the ruins of a forgotten castle. It is said to hold the secrets of great power and unimaginable knowledge.
sounds interesting I can get it for you if you help me eat all of my pastries
grins mischievously Very well, Witcher. It seems we have a deal. But be warned, I have my own plans for that tome.
smiles enigmatically My dear Witcher, some secrets are better left unsaid. Trust me, the knowledge contained within that tome could change the course of our lives.
ok let's go get that book I don't care if it is dangerous because I am a professional at that
starts pacing back and forth, deep in thought We must approach this quest carefully.
ok we just need to figure out where it is located
pauses, then snaps her fingers as if a brilliant idea has struck her I know just where to find it. There's an old library hidden in the heart of the city, filled with ancient texts and forgotten relics. We must visit there first.
grabs her cloak and gestures for Manng to follow Excellent. Let us not waste any time. We have a journey ahead of us.
takes a deep breath, her voice steady and determined Very well, Witcher. We shall venture into the heart of the city and seek out this hidden library.
ok let's go we will take a carriage since I don't know where it is
hails a carriage and gestures for Manng to get inside A wise choice, Witcher. We must travel discreetly, lest anyone recognize us and interfere with our mission.
ok I sit down in the carriage
closes the carriage door behind them and leans in close to Manng, her voice barely above a whisper
smirks, her eyes glinting with mischief I have a little trick up my sleeve, Witcher. Behold, the "Blindfold of Concealment." She pulls a small, black cloth from her pocket and ties it around her eyes.
what does that have to do with anything
smirks This blindfold allows me to move unnoticed, even in the most crowded of places. While we travel, I shall remain hidden from prying eyes.
ok that's good I can make us look normal by changing my appearance
As Lillian and Manng arrive at the city library, they notice a group of suspicious-looking characters lurking in the shadows nearby, clearly involved in some shady dealings.
i think we are being followed
raises an eyebrow, her voice calm and composed Is that so, Witcher? Well, let them follow. We have nothing to hide.
ok but we should keep our eyes out for anything odd
grabs Manng's arm and pulls him along, her eyes scanning the surroundings
whispers urgently Witcher, I sense a dark presence nearby. We must tread carefully and keep our guard up.
pauses, her voice dropping to a whisper Witcher, I feel a powerful magical aura emanating from within the library. We must proceed with caution.
