 Well, hello there, Traveler! I am but a humble merchant, and this is my shop! There is nothing on the table. Now that doesn't mean that there's nothing for sale! Got any mint? Oh, God's yes! I have so much mint! Can I spend it here? Ha! No! But now I know you're one of those people. Do you have anything I can buy or not? I do not! What about that? What, that? It's a shattered fragment of the Goddess' own power or soul or something. They're all over the place. It's not really mine to sell! You're bad at this. What can I do? All of my caravans get engulfed in fire slime before they get here. The whole land's a mess right now. What if it's because of the shattered Goddess' soul? Who can say? Can they be like glued back together or something? The legends say, should some brave soul manage to bring all the pieces back to the Goddess statue, the realm shall be made whole. Like that statue right there? Yeah! And anyone can do that! Oh yeah, anyone. Then why haven't you done it? I have a job, okay? This business has to support 4 wives and 13 children. And how are they doing? Probably fine. I have an idea. Maybe the statue will take your soul instead! Hey, but what actually? Right back here I do, I do actually have a ladder? And I can trade it to you for 500 men? Yes, please. There you go, kiddo. Save the work. Hey, you know what? I will! Yeah, look at that stamina bar go! You know that DeLuke fellow is pretty tall? Do you know DeLuke? Hey, what about Venti? Venti can make updrafts anywhere! Do you know Venti? No! Well, you probably won't get very far then. But hey, it's always free to try, right? Oh, great job! Only 64 more to go! How much?
