"And if you do as you want, instead" - Victor gestured to the fragments of the model - "and don't carve them what they want?"　　

"Maybe I would like to see beauty again before I die."　　

"Bah. What would you carve? What would you see before you die? What could be worth your life?"　　

"Man's nobility - the most sublime form of beauty."　　

The man's hand paused on the stone, his eyes searching Richard's, but he said nothing.　　

"Victor, I need you to help me. I'm not asking you to give me anything. I'm willing to pay your price. Name it."　　

Victor returned his loving gaze to his stone.　　

"Ten gold marks," he said with bold confidence, knowing Richard had no money.　　

Richard reached into his pocket and then counted out ten gold marks. He held the fortune out to Victor. The blacksmith frowned.　　

"Where did you get such money?"　　

"I worked and I saved it. I earned it helping the Order build their palace. Remember?"　　

"But they took all your money.1 commentTweetThe nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-90-yellow-c-203_205.html">nike air max 90 yellow+ 2012 boasts a tremendous range of colorblocking possibilities thanks to its layered Hyperfuse construction, but even with all this modern technology at work, some of the best colorways all year have been the most basic..

Richard cocked his head. "You didn't think I'd be foolish enough to put all my money in one place, did you? I have gold stashed all over. If this isn't enough, I will pay you whatever you ask."　　

Richard knew that the stone was valuable, although not worth ten gold marks, but it was to Victor, so Richard would not argue the price. He would pay whatever the man asked.　　

"I can't take your money, Richard." He waved a hand in resignation. "I don't know how to carve. It was but a dream. As long as I never carved it, I could dream of the beauty in the stone. This is from my homeland, where once there was freedom." His fingers blindly found the wall of marble. "This is noble stone.

You may have the stone, my friend."　　

"No, Victor. I don't want to take your dream. I want to, in a way, fulfill it. I cannot accept it as a gift. I want to buy it."　　

"But, why?"　　

"Because I will have to give it to the Order. I don't want you giving this to the Order; I will have to do that. More than that, though, they will no doubt want it destroyed. It must be mine when they do that. I want it to be paid for."　　

Victor held out his hand. "Ten marks, then."　　

Richard counted out the ten gold marks and then closed the man's big fingers around them.　　

"Thank you, Victor," Richard whispered.1 commentTweetThe upcoming VNTG and EM renditions of nike">http://www.redairmax90.net/nike-air-max-yellow-nike-air-max-1-yellow-c-203_206.html">nike air max 1 yellow classics act like opposites of one another, with one going the rewind route and adding some aged yellowing and the other upgrading the build with Engineered Mesh.czfnk04.　　

Victor grinned. "Where do you wish me to deliver it?"　　

Richard held out another gold mark. "May I rent this room? I would like to carve it here. From here, when I'm done, it can be sledged down to the entrance plaza."　　

Victor shrugged. "Done."　　

Richard handed over a twelfth gold mark. "And I want you to make me the tools with which I will carve this stone - the finest tools you have ever made. The kind of tools used to carve beauty in your homeland. This marble demands the best. Make the tools out of the best steel."　　

"Points, toothed chisels, and chisels for fine work - I can make them for you. There are hammers aplenty about you may use."
