84 |

| 31 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0032 |
84 |
Meh-meh?
You think you cleverer than me? |
| 32 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0033 |
84 |
Very foolish girl... But so be it!
I not back down from challenge! |
| 33 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0101 |
84 |
Good. Then we'll need a subject
category. |
| 34 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0102 |
84 |
Must get fair impartial opinion.
Let us ask Driver over there to choose! |
| 35 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0034 |
165 |
What would be a good topic? |
| 36 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0035 |
164 |
How about the history of Argentum? |
| 37 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0036 |
164 |
How about the history of Uraya? |
| 38 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0103 |
165 |
What would be a good topic? |
| 39 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0104 |
164 |
The history of Argentum, of course. |
| 40 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0105 |
164 |
The history of Uraya, of course. |
| 41 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0106 |
165 |
What would be a good topic? |
| 42 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0107 |
164 |
The history of Argentum, perhaps? |
| 43 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0108 |
164 |
The history of Uraya, perhaps? |
| 44 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0109 |
165 |
What would be a good topic? |
| 45 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0110 |
164 |
The history of Argentum, I reckon. |
| 46 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0111 |
164 |
The history of Uraya, I reckon. |
| 47 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0201 |
84 |
Ah yes, a wonderful idea!
Then shall we begin? |
| 48 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0037 |
84 |
It is said that Argentum was originally
founded by a Nopon merchant, yes? |
| 49 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0038 |
84 |
Even littlepon know that. Was not just
merchant, either. Was Driver, too. |
| 50 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0039 |
84 |
Indeed. So, this Nopon Driver... |
| 51 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0040 |
84 |
Are you aware of how he used his
Blade not as a tool of war, but as
a trade associate? |
| 52 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0041 |
84 |
Wartime was very chaotic time.
Argentum founder used Blade's
power to great effect... |
| 53 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0042 |
84 |
He go to crisis areas affected by
strife or disaster, and form trading
links where none exist. Very profitable. |
| 54 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0043 |
84 |
And that not all. Argentum founder... |
| 55 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0044 |
84 |
...is said to be descended from
none other than Captain Nopopon. |
| 56 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0045 |
84 |
Captain Nopopon was legendary
sailor who conquer all of Cloud Sea. |
| 57 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0047 |
84 |
Also said to have founded what
later become Nopon Trade Guild. |
| 58 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0202 |
84 |
Considering the feats of his ancestor... |
| 59 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0203 |
84 |
It is perhaps no wonder that this
Nopon Driver went on to found
the Argentum Trade Guild. |
| 60 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0301 |
84 |
Very good.
Then we begin! |
| 61 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0048 |
84 |
The modern nation of Uraya... |
| 62 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0049 |
84 |
...is governed by six great noble
lines, foremost among them the
Duchy of Selosia. |
| 63 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0050 |
84 |
But long time ago, was governed by
not six noble houses but nine! |
| 64 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0051 |
84 |
Among those nine was Duchy of Envia,
which hold power near equal to
that of Selosia. |
| 65 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0052 |
84 |
But the leader of Envia, a man
named Hannes, died suddenly in
mysterious circumstances... |
| 66 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0053 |
84 |
So eldest son Giani take over Duchy,
but he too soon die of illness. |
| 67 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0054 |
84 |
Next in line was Giani's younger
brother Philip, but he too died of
illness before his twentieth birthday. |
| 68 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0055 |
84 |
Thus Duchy of Envia fall from power... |
| 69 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0056 |
84 |
And Duchy of Selosia unite other
noble houses, claiming title of
King of Uraya. |
| 70 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0057 |
84 |
Many mysteries yet remain surrounding
the deaths of the Envian heirs... |
| 71 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0058 |
84 |
Many still suspect foul play from
other noble lines, yes. |
| 72 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0059 |
84 |
But the tale does not end there. |
| 73 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0060 |
84 |
Indeed! Prior to sudden death, Hannes,
original leader of Envia, secretly had
child with Gormotti woman. |
| 74 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0061 |
84 |
And it is often claimed that their
descendants live on to this day,
somewhere in Gormott. |
| 75 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0062 |
84 |
If this theory were to be proven... |
| 76 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0063 |
84 |
Could threaten very existence
of current Urayan royal line! |
| 77 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0064 |
84 |
I must say, I'm impressed.
Your knowledge extends much
further than I gave you credit for. |
| 78 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0065 |
84 |
Such flattering. I just as impressed
with your knowledge! |
| 79 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0066 |
84 |
Not many people out there
who able to keep up with my
history discussions. |
| 80 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0067 |
84 |
Shall we consider this a draw? |
| 81 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0068 |
84 |
Certainly, certainly. Could not possibly
decide winner after such fine showing. |
| 82 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0069 |
84 |
Sooooo...
Who will be buying book then? |
| 83 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0070 |
84 |
I let friend have this book. |
| 84 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0071 |
84 |
Huh? |
| 85 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0072 |
84 |
To be read by such fine intellectual...
What more could this book ask for? |
| 86 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0073 |
84 |
Thank you.
I'll take good care of it. |
| 87 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0074 |
84 |
And if we have opportunity, would
like to have heated discussion again! |
| 88 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0075 |
84 |
As would I. I'll try to expand my
knowledge even further by the
next time we meet! |
| 89 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0076 |
84 |
Well, then...it looks like
I'll be buying this. |
| 90 |
|
kizunatalk074_msg0077 |
84 |
