Chapter 2: Divergence of Fate
Cid: “Helping people? Exactly what are you selling?” he said, while sounding skeptical.
John: “I sell pretty much everything that could be used to improve a person's life.”
This definitely sounded like a general salesman pitch to Cid. Always saying they have what you need and that you need to buy right away, then more often than not, you buy it and are disappointed in the product. He might have dismissed this, but felt he could at least humor him for the drink and baked goods.
Cid: “Ha. that is quite a bold statement.”
John: “It is, but I've been successful in the past. Just tell me your troubles and I'll see what I can do to help you.”
Cid: “I'm afraid there is nothing you can do for me, unless you can turn me into an archmage.”
John: “What's so difficult that you need to be an archmage to do it?”
Cid: “Difficult? There’s nothing difficult when you're an archmage. You get to live a life of luxury and anything you could possibly want can be yours.”
John: “Sure, but why do you need to be an archmage?”
