After browsing through Madam Nyu's shop, Ratislav was clearly disappointed that he didn't find anything useful, after which the Tyrian headed to the slave market.
Ivissa, though she acknowledged Agnet, didn't seem particularly excited or surprised. - Good. It's strange to see someone like you in this city, Agnet.
-- And I, to be honest, was surprised that you decided to set up your workshop right here! For some reason, I thought that if you decided to do something like this, you would choose some clean, big city... I don't even know.
- Didn't touch them? I can't say I'm surprised; Laust has always been a practical man and didn't have more material possessions than he needed at the time. Anyway... I can't be completely sure that these maps aren't forgeries, but given the circumstances in which they were found, that's encouraging. If what they depict is true, there's a completely different world beyond the Border, with its own peoples, lands, history, and riches. That's what we're going to find out.
[For reference: the northern border is located just beyond the White Lands; beyond that lies an impassable ocean and a harsh land where winter reigns and from which no one has ever returned, at least according to known sources.]

After wandering around Madam Nyu's shop, Ratislav was clearly disappointed that he hadn't found anything useful, after which the Tyrian headed to the slave market.
On his way to the market, Ratislav was stopped by a boy of about 12 who ran up to him. He was all dirty and in rags. - Hey, mister! Can you spare some change?
-- Honestly, I was surprised that you decided to set up your workshop right here! For some reason, I thought that if you decided to do something like this, you would choose some clean, big city... I don't even know.
- In other cities, my hands would be too tied, but Nevermore, no matter what it is, offers far more opportunities.

- Are you going sailing? What about Brightstrider himself? If he has the maps... I noticed that you two had some kind of disagreement.
- That's our usual relationship, - Vincent laughed, - he's sailing with us. What about you?
- In other cities, I would be too restricted, but Nevermore, whatever it may be, offers far more opportunities.
-- Really? Well, I suppose that's true unless you end up enslaved. I've heard that even happens here... Ivissa, now that I'm here, can I take a look at your gadgets? -- Agnet approached one of the stalls. -- Yes, I see that very gadget! Although after the last time, I probably won't risk using it...
On his way to the market, Ratislav was stopped by a boy of about 12 who ran up to him. He was dirty and dressed in rags. - Hey, mister! Can you spare some change?
Having lived in Nevermore for about two years, Ratislav had already gotten used to this kind of beggar. He felt neither particular disgust nor pity for them; it was a common occurrence in this part of the city. -Here, - Ratislav tossed about a hundred R to the boy, - and now get lost and don't bother me again. Do I look like a rich man from Rienevka?
- I'm flattered, of course, that you're offering to take me with you, but I have business here. "The Joys of Zelig," he said, handing the captain a business card. "Do you trade with the old world? We could collaborate." He paused, lost in thought. "With the old world? Ravaged by war, bled dry? What about the newest world?" - You know what? I see you're an enterprising man, and we probably want the same thing. If you don't mind, I need to think about your offer carefully.
- Of course, naturally, - the captain continued to smile, - think as much as you like, we are leaving a few days after the tournament ends, but if you decide earlier, I allow you to visit the "Breeze" and choose a cabin to your liking.
"This is how loyalty is achieved among slaves," Adrian thought. "And I was trying to figure out how to protect myself from my own servants. Convenient." --Come on, let's go,--he said to the slaves and headed towards the "Sea Devil."
