Summary
The quest for a magic sword continues! Gourry and I try our luck in Solaria, where an innocent bit of weapons-based extortion leads to a full-on cloak-and-dagger conspiracy. Hoo boy.
Next up, we hit the lake town of Crimson after the council puts out an all call for available sorcerers. See, they quietly want to quash a little insurrection that a local sorcerers' council leader started. (It's bad for business and all.) But when Gourry and I arrive on the scene, the true tragedy afoot isn't quite what we were led to believe.
Needless to say, I've just about had it with all this shadowy intrigue. Frankly, I could go the rest of my life without ever seeing another demon again too. So, wait... what the heck are we doing back in Gyria City now?!
