Bait Biting

After the magic apprentice gave the old parchment to Dalton, Dalton had to consider if the whole thing was real even though he was not fully convinced.
The parchment was apparently ancient, and the words on it awed Dalton as they were written in Ancient Elvish.
Only three people in all of Hollevin knew Ancient Elvish.
Two of them were elsewhere, and only the last was in the capital.
Touching the parchment, Dalton said to the magic apprentice excitedly, "Come to Master Irwin's manor with me."
The magic apprentice was delighted. "As you wish."
Getting into the carriage with some simple but considerate gifts, Dalton visited Master Irwin.
Irwin was not a professional, but he was one of the nobles.
In this dark feudal society, only the offspring of the nobles and the big merchants were qualified to learn how to read.
Not everybody could pay a tuition fee of one gold coin for a hundred words.
