Chapter 39: The Value of Oliou

When the morning dew had been dried by the sunlight, Lyle knocked on the great doors of Borey Manor, where an impatient-looking gatekeeper with a limp still maintained basic courtesy. After confirming Lyle's intentions, he asked him to wait outside the gate.

Because of Ralph's sick leave, he had lost the opportunity to attend, so with his free time, Lyle decided to make some preparations.

His savings were running low.

In his pocket were only three Oliou given to him by Mister Dragon, which he planned to exchange for some Yule. Therefore, he thought of Kevin Borey, the only noble friend he knew publicly. Oliou, as a symbol of Roman glory, were esteemed collectibles and decorations loved by the nobility and were considered synonymous with their own nobility. Lyle believed Kevin would give him a fair price, and even if he had no need for them, he would not mind introducing Lyle to a good buyer.
