tell him about the next buildings they passed. The elven lady told him everything he asked about and even pointed out the more interesting places, which at first glance did not seem appealing at all. Thanks to this conversation, the dragon did not even notice when the carriage stopped in front of Matheo's shop. He was surprised when the door opened and Kei's smiling face appeared in it.
