"Well not if you look at the big picture. But they do have schools that teach people just that."*He said.*"Granted if you can afford it which in that case, not many people can do."*Terrel idly played his bird, the small creature nipping at his gloved hand in the process.*"And in some cases, choosing not to, but if you gathered them together, it would seem like a decent number."
Gary
*He hums thoughtfully and scratches his cheek, looking out at the waves as he considers how to respond*
"Well... I'll admit the academies and schools are rather expensive. Clearly theyre meant for nobility more than anything considering the literacy rate of most countries. So I suppose accidental discoveries would be more likely if I take into account that many illiterate people travel to make their livelihood. But I do believe if we had a larger number of researchers then wed be putting the intentional discoveries much higher on the list"
Rebecca
"Have you actually tried to?"*He asked him, figuring the man's lack of wanting to be around people often would probably get in the way of it. Besides, working with nobility would be difficult to say the least. Terrel didn't care much for the rich, but it would be quite hypocritical for him to think such of them when he was in similar position. He didn't meet many researchers, making one wonder if perhaps there was some truth to Az's thoughts of the slim chances of it happening.*
Gary
*He tilts his head curiously, a frown appearing on his expression*
"Tried to do what?"
Rebecca
"Y'know. Actually look around and work with other researchers in order to have more of these discoveries. I'd assume there would be many around the Capitol of Lymia."
Gary
*He sighs in what could only be taken as a sad tone, his head tilting back so he can look up at the sky*
"Well thats the sad part. There aren't that many people who research things. Everyone always wants to delve into ruins and find 'undiscovered artifacts', and no one wants to study what we already have in front of us but don't understand. Then there's the issue of many scholars being generally secretive about their work with the added stereotype that the people who make these types of discoveries are insane. When you hear that someone is researching magic youd think of a wizard or sorcerer right? "
Rebecca
"I suppose so."*He said back.*"It doesn't have to be many though, so long as you have at least one person with similar goals. Maybe that much is hard, this being a world where trust isn't exactly something that's easy to obtain, but it's a big enough world to find at least one person out there. Maybe this trip to Ruttenia will help with that."
