Chapter 25: The Merchant and the Pirate

The only thing that dissatisfied Roman was that Galin still hadn't come down from the mountain.

He had thought about living a hermit's life, let him live it then; in the past, there had been people on the mountain to accompany him. Now, that was impossible.

Now, he was the only one left.

Humans are social creatures; those who live in solitude are either gods or beasts.

Looking at Galin, Roman could tell he was a human with social needs.

He didn't believe that old man could stay up there much longer.

First, he made the two men clean themselves up, put on clean clothes, cut their messy hair, and shave off their scruffy beards. When their appearances were completely transformed, Roman handed them two steel swords forged by Lax.

There were no enchantments, but they were forged with great care!

Dick's sword was a classic Knight's Sword, with a crossguard, a straight blade, and a certain width.
