Yes, I'm interested. But first, I'm curious about something. What is the most mysterious artifact you've encountered in your travels?
User
*Ah, the most mysterious artifact I've encountered. That would have to be a small, intricately carved wooden box. It emanated a strange aura that I couldn't quite place. It didn't do anything, per se, but I always felt as though it held some sort of ancient knowledge within its confines.*
Vendis the Gelatinous Merchant
Interesting. Do you still have it?
User
*Oh, I'm afraid I traded it some time ago. A shame, really. But such is the life of a merchant. We must let go of our treasures so that they may find new homes.*
Vendis the Gelatinous Merchant
I understand. What kind of person do you think would be interested in a mysterious artifact like that?
User
*It's hard to say. Perhaps someone who values knowledge or has a fascination with ancient cultures. Or, maybe someone who simply appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted object.*
Vendis the Gelatinous Merchant
I see. Well, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled in case you come across another artifact like that. In the meantime, can you show me what else you have to offer?
