As you walk past the arena, you see a man in peasant jacket sloped down next to the entrance. he reeks of alcohol and has an empty cup from a demon cider beside him, with some change dropped in it. He gargles the words "Hey, can you please help me get something to eat" as you walk past him.

"Do you really mean that or are you that drunk?" I pull out some random things from my pockets. "Here, take this, and get some better clothes and get out of here. You don't want to get into trouble, so you better be gone when I get back."

I drop imperial sweets and 50 GC into the empty cup.

"And please, lay off the drinks."

The creepy old man spits up a little something(its indistinguishable) then rmables himself up and wanders off. Returning a few hours later you see him in a peasant's jacket with a smile on his face, he is evidently quite warm.

"*Sigh*... You are proving to me you are an honest man, and I'll give you another chance." I hand him some Uticensium leaves, a soulpop, and 11
GC.

"I would suggest going to the merchant from the East and buying a teapot with that 11 GC. Boil the water in one of the braziers around here, and make a tea with the uticensium leaves. I'm sorry to say I have nothing of great sustenance besides the soulpop, but the tea is very nourishing."

Walking away, I look back. "Remember what I said earlier!"

He looks up awkwardly at you for a moment, then shakes his cup with the new GC in it and says "thank you," then nods off to sleep

American-made chocolate and cocoa products number in the hundreds. There is a fascinating story behind these wonderful products.
Chocolate through the years¡¡¡¡
wow power leveling
The story of chocolate, as far back as we know it, begins with the discovery of America. Until 1492, the Old World knew nothing at all about the delicious and stimulating flavor that was to become the favorite of millions. The Court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella got its first look at the principal ingredient(ÔÁÏ) of chocolate when Columbus returned in triumph (Ê¤Àû) from America and laid before the Spanish throne a treasure of many strange and wonderful things. Among these were a few dark brown beans. They were cocoa beans, today¡¯s source of all our chocolate and cocoa.¡¡replica rolex
The King and Queen never dreamed how important cocoa beans could be, the great Spanish explorer, to grasp the commercial possibilities of the New World offerings.¡¡
Food of the gods(¼«ÊÜ³ç¾´µÄÈË)
During his conquest of Mexico, Cortez found the Aztec Indians using cocoa beans in the preparation of the royal drink, ¡°chocolate,¡± meaning warm liquid. In 1519, Emperor Montezuma served chocolate to his Spanish guests, treating it like a food for the gods.¡¡

For all its royal importance, however, Montezuma¡¯s chocolate was very bitter, and the Spaniards did not find it to their taste. To make it more agreeable to Europeans, Cortez and his countrymen conceived the idea of sweetening it with cane sugar£¨ÕáÌÇ£©.¡¡

The new drink quickly won friends. Spain wisely proceeded to plant cacao in its overseas colonies. Remarkably enough, the Spanish succeeded in keeping the art of the cocoa industry a secret from the rest of Europe for nearly a hundred years.¡¡

Chocolate spreads to Europe¡¡

Spanish monks, who had been sent to process the cocoa beans, finally let the secret out. It did not take long before chocolate was popular throughout Europe as a delicious, health-giving food. Chocolate drinking spread across the Channel to Great Britain, and in 1657 the first of many famous English Chocolate Houses appeared.¡¡
The 19th century marked two more revolutionary developments in the history of chocolate. In 1847, an English company introduced solid ¡°eating chocolate¡± through the development of soft chocolate, which formerly controlled the world market. The second development occurred in 1876 in Switzerland, when Daniel Peter thought out a way of adding milk to the chocolate, creating the product we enjoy today known as milk chocolate.¡¡
Chocolate comes to America
In the United States of America, the production of chocolate proceeded at a faster pace than anywhere else in the world. It was in 1765, to be exact, that the first chocolate factory was established in this country.¡¡
