The nobleman before Michael couldn't hide his surprise at Michael's outright rejection to sell him the book.
"I can pay you double what you paid for the book in the bidding," the man said, attempting to convince Michael to part with it. Rurik frowned, as he had never seen the red-haired man or anyone standing behind him before.
Soon, a couple of orcs arrived on the scene.
"Here come the runemasters," Rurik muttered, surprised by how many nobles and even runemasters were approaching them, eager to negotiate for the book. Rurik began to reconsider his thoughts about the book.
"Rurik, where is your guild master? You bought the book, didn't you? Let us talk to the guild master. The book is of utmost importance to the Runemasters Guild," a tall, bulky orc wearing emerald green robes said. He didn't even notice Michael as he spoke with Rurik.
