Lorry haggled out of habit.
He had little choice. After treating Mr. Miles to that Intis feast at noon and purchasing some materials, his savings had dropped to 1,400 pounds.
Even a landlord has no grain to spare... After buying these two formulas, I feel like I won't be far from bankruptcy... Fortunately, I can get four uses out of one purchase...
Lorry had not made this choice on impulse.
First, giving the impoverished Mr. Fool some financial support benefited everyone; second, he could also feed the formulas to the Curse of Knowledge.
Then he could submit a copy to MI9 or sell them at other gatherings.

A lady suspected of having an Artisan behind her sold two Beyonder weapons. With the 600 pounds he had just received, Klein successfully bid for the Hurricane Axe.
