Chapter 7: Lilith and Orlo

Meanwhile as Arua, Sugar and Ska try to erm.. Perfect Namiele's magic, Lilith the visitor, as well as Lilith the Demigod and Orlo, who just arrived recently, are discussing money matters...

Lilith: Tell me, what is money?
Lilith(Demigod): Money is anything with value that you can use as exchange for a particular object you wish to get...
Lilith: Such as...?
Lilith(Demigod): Well, for example... You want 5 apples... And there is a vendor selling those apple for like 2 stones a piece. The stones erve as a way for you to get those apples...
Lilith: and what happens if you run out of money?
Lilith(Demigod): Then you can't buy anything.. After all, some items are meant to be bought....
Orlo: Not everything... Some are gained for free... Like their lives for example...
Lilith: Ah I see... But...
Orlo: Still dont get it do ya?

Soon, Orlo grabs a rock and turns it into gold.

Orlo: There, valuable cash.
Lilith: then I use this to exchange goods?
Orlo: Yeah.... However.... you've gotta consider the supply and the demand of the apples...
Lilith: Supply? Demand? What are those?
Orlo: Good thing you asked! Hey, Lilith teh Demi-witch!
Lilith(Demigod) Who you calling witch, you jork!
Orlo: What do you mean by jork, jork?!
Lilith(Demigod): WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!
Orlo: Ah heck.. Just give me a piece of wood and some chalk, right?
Lilith(Demigod): Alright... But don't tell me a jork, ayt?!

So, Lilith the Demigod gave Orlo a plank and some chalk, and Orlo began explaining...

Orlo: Here's the thing... The price of each item depends on the supply and the demand of the product.
Lilith: How does it work?
Orlo: the bigger the supply, the bigger the price, but the higher the demand, the lower price they want....
Lilith: What's demand?
Lilith(Demigod): It's the number of customers(in this case, visitors) who wish to buy a certain good.
Orlo: Yes... Supply intersects with demand... you need to find the equilibrium between the two...
Lilith: Ah I see... But what are the things the visitors need?
Lilith(Demigod): Weapons, armor, potions, a lot of things!
Orlo: But you visitors will be the ones who will make these not us...
Lilith: Me? please, Teach me how to make great weapons!!!
Lilith(Demigod): Of course!
Orlo: Yeah.. Ok then.. Here's an anvil and a hammer, all we need now are some parts...
Lilith(Demigod) I have some iron, and some zodiac stones...
Orlo: Excellent! Now try making a simple sword...
Lilith: How can I do that?
Orlo: simple... here's a pattern of the sword... All you need to do is to just follow the pattern... Just mold and heat the iron, mix in the other components, then start whacking the hammer into the materail until it looks like a sword...
Lilith: Like this?

After a few hours, it was finished...

Orlo: Excellent! I'll teach you how to make armors-
Pepper: Come quick! Another Visitor is about to come through!
Orlo: OMG.. Let's go! Quick!
Lilith(Demigod): Yes! Hurry up, Lilith!
LIiith: Coming!

And so, the trio went to the portal entrance... And they saw the portal shimmering with light, another visitor is about to arrive....
