Rhythm of Red -Red <> One last message from the communications system, and the airship's engine began cooling down in Everia's landing pad. Landing here is the least of my problems. For some reason or the other, Yotta tagged along with us. Going through security checks, I was worried that Nelo's sword however confined is going to attract problem. Luckily, the officers simple rolled their eyes and sighed. Everia is....tilted.

By the time all is said and done, the sky has already turned to night. Looking at the clouded night sky, I sighed.


 * Red: Man, I'm not really looking forward for this- exchanging Beovacs into Veris.
 * Nelo: What's the rate?
 * Red: 1.5 : 1.
 * Nelo: ...You're kidding.
 * Yotta: Partly. It actually jumped to 2 : 1 a few months ago.
 * Nelo: That's even worse!
 * Red: How did it even jump that high!?
 * Yotta: Beovault's market took a hit when news of their High Shaman fell ill in action spread.
 * Red: *sigh*
 * Nelo: Aww geez.
 * Yotta: Well, from what I know, the High Shaman's been better, so who knows, maybe the value will start restabilizing in the coming weeks.
 * Red: Weeks? I don't have time to spent weeks here. My budget won't even survive days here.
 * Yotta: Are you in a hurry?
 * Red: I need to go to Chiara for an urgent issue of a looming Plague infestation in my hometown.
 * Yotta: .... Perhaps I can help.
 * Red: Really?
 * Yotta: It might take a few days, but I think I can arrange you a ride to Chiara.
 * Red: No offense, but...with the delays, and land transport isn't the fastest route-
 * Yotta: Don't worry. It's an underground transit line the links directly to Chiara. Would probably take only 4 hours, at most.
 * Red: That sounds great!
 * Yotta: ...for a favor.
 * Red: Fair enough. Nothing is life comes free. Name it.
 * Yotta: We'll talk later. But for now...I can't do much here.
 * Nelo: What do you mean?
 * Yotta: We have to go to the capital city, where Magia Academy is located. The fastest we can get there is...hmm. Transit line#12 is available. Coming in 30 minutes.
 * Nelo: Now? There's still trains running at this time?
 * Yotta: Oh Solvei, Everia is a place where its citizens never sleeps.
 * Red: In more ways than one. "Sleepless Everia", was it?
 * Yotta: Correct. But first, you should exhange your money.

Nelo and I collectively groaned. 200 Beovacs out of 300 from Sophie - now 100 Veris. Nelo is 30 Beovacs short from his sword's casing. He's pretty reserved about it - 180 Beovacs converted into 90 Veris. Yeah good luck trying to survive with only 90 Veris.

..... Well, at the very least, Shamans are still free for train rides, even in Everia. Yotta also doesn't have to pay- his ties to Magia Academy lets him coast through. No luck for Nelo, though. Between the Sword Saint and Everia's living cost, I wonder which gave him a worse beating? .... By the looks of his face- likely Everia.
