Amos had, to some extent, grown accustomed to Laust's antics and simply shook his head disapprovingly as he observed what was happening.
He had settled in quite comfortably on the ship and immersed himself in reading... After an hour, he slammed shut the book on shamanism and put it away. Although Selig was a practical man, this work was permeated with a very unpleasant demonic aura, and he felt uneasy. Blood curses, possession, hexes – all of this felt like some otherworldly influence, if not outright evil, and a primal, chthonic chill, in comparison to which dark magic, which resembled more of a peculiar branch of medicine, seemed quite ordinary. It was no wonder that no one wanted to bid on it at the auction. For now, Amos put this book aside "until better times," but he strongly doubted that such times would come. However, the small treatises on the aforementioned magic appealed to him greatly. Selig was so inspired by them that he couldn't stay still and paced excitedly around the cabin. He couldn't wait to try these spells out, but how could he do that? And where? He remembered the recent incident with the Brightstrider bounty hunters, but he realized that by now, the bodies of those assassins had probably long been removed from the city's streets, and perhaps even scavenged by the eternally hungry poor. Nevertheless, he could no longer stand being in the stuffy cabin, so he decided to walk to that place anyway and clear his head.
