"Congratulations, Master Blacksmith," Ayag teased the dwarf.
"The untapped knowledge, the Book of Seshat's Angel, has been sold for thirty-five million to the Blacksmith Guild," Meenal announced, and the crowd gasped.

After Meenal sold the book, Michael felt many eyes turning their way. However, he chose to ignore their gazes and patted Rurik on the shoulder.
"What does a blacksmith like you hope to learn from that book?" Raphael asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
