6th spring 513AV Xi'd been in the city for a couple of days now and all he could think about was training. But having said that he needed money so he'd have to figure out a way to combine the two after all having seen how much ana and zand chipped through his already quite magnanimous stash. Still Xi was looking to both replenish it and gain some more training. So Xi headed to the "Nykshela Quarries". The slow walk there through the centre of the city in to the northern quarter. He'd brushed through the roughest part of the city, where brawls happened at a moment's notice. Xi shook his head at it, even though he wanted to test his own skills against them. Xi just sighed and headed onwards further until he could easily see the wall of red looming over him, like a strategically designed cliff face. Still Xi drew closer still his imposing form drawing more attention than he wanted. Xi drew closer to the foreman of the quarry, one of the monks flicked him a look he drew closer. Xi drew up on him before saying quite bluntly or at least attempting too before being cut off by the monk. "Lemme guess foreigner, you want work? Look there's some stone over there go and move it once it's clear your works done fro the day got it ?" Xi barely said two words before the monk had spoken to him ald already knew what he wanted. Xi just nodded and headed off to go and do what he'd been newly tasked to do. The marble on the floor, was unlike any he'd seen it wa a striking reddish colour and weight n absolute ton. but each piece was shaped into smaller bricks for building. Xi just slid them off one by one and carried them to a cart along with about three other men both shorter than him obviously, but they were almost as wide. Thick men strong and hardy. Xi now knew he had to show off a bit and instead began to slide off the bricks in stacks of two to go and carry then across like that. |
