Sensing Vant's confidence on the subject, Oli asked, "Do you know a lot about previous winners and competitors?"
"Of the mortal championship? Not really."
"Ahh… I see," sighed Oli.
"If you're trying to learn about that, you can ask Master Zelsh for permission to use his library," added Vant, catching Oli off guard. "The palace also has a public library but Master Zelsh's personal study is far superior, that is if you can convince him to share it."
Nodding slowly, Oli felt a bit more optimistic. "Thanks. I'll be sure to ask him."
"Wha bout me? Why no ask me?" Korvik got back up using the table as a crutch. "I cen help too…"
"And how's that?" Oli asked, teasing Korvik like the others to buy some laughs from around the table.
"CAUSE I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!!"
