Part 27: Niccolo's Business Unusual: Part 3








-----


Guess I'll check in on my new pet.

Definitely seems the sturdy type.


Reminds me of a person I used to know. I'll name it Audrey II so I don't get it confused with Audrey I.

I'm starting to run out of room here, so I might as well get rid of some dead weight.





Only 300 Lucre? I guess that's what happens when you have a monopoly on the monster market. Oh well, I need the extra space.



Yeah, sure.

Guess I'll take my new pet out for a spin.


The spores it emits can cause drowsiness. By hanging close to this guy, I could coat my fists in the stuff and use it to further knock an enemy out.

I guess now that I've explored the city, I could see what Niccolo's up to. He must have a reason for hanging around Lumina of all places.


Huh, is that Pokiehl? I certainly didn't expect to see him here.






...I think he was speaking in a different dialect than what I'm used to.
Right. Niccolo.




Somehow I doubt he's being honest.


To the ruins, then!


Don't think I've explored this area yet.

An ancient tower!


It looks remarkable. A shame I don't have the luxury to explore it right now.


Despite this one stating he knows psychokinesis, Niccolo doesn't seem interested in this fella. Perhaps he's searching for a Flowerling with a bit more power.

Oh, gates. How I loathe your very presence.



ugh...stop...




But...sigh...

Just got to find out which way is out of here...




...Nope. That's not it.

Ah, this is the exit!




Hey, I see familiar ground! Just a bit more to go, and...


Yeah, but how did he get away? It looks like he used-

Hey, hold on a minute? Aren't you going to pay me?

Niccolo?
