(our mannequin like merchant stops halfway to the town)

...i need somthing like a cart or something ,..even a backpack would do,.....

...|i can just say I’m a story-teller if i am questioned|...

(continues. in the town)

.......where is my magical world town? ... this place looks like poverty.

(the road is dirt, the houses are: at best huts, except for one, and there only afew carts)

(he holds his mouth between the roots of his pointer finger and thumb)

...|..well, in [email protected] 3, i always began land-lording the cheapest houses for rent...but i need money, and the owner of the deeds needs to be willing to sell,....i have no weapon so i can't just kill bandits and take their shit,....yet....but back to this,..i can help them get a economically healthy again by lowering their rent for awile, then bringing it back up proportionately; to their prosperity...but that is for future, now for the now.|

(he talks to the deed holder/ "mayor" a man dressed in cleaner clothes than his residents, but not by much, he had his own taxes to pay, so he had to have the 15 people's rent be almost all there annual saving:2 silver, 1sil.20cop, becouse he himself has no skills except than merchantry related ones)
