This hapter was interesting and had a lot of good stuff added. I liked the planing of the route and the trading part. But this is also, where I have to call BS. How the f*ck did a slavegirl knew all of this? She is a child and had been the town's temptress for the last few years. I believe she was too young to learn this stuff from her mother. So when did she caught all that up? I know, the slave trader lady has been nice to her (yet rented her out to lunatics all the time), so she wouldn't have stopped her. But how did she learn all that stuff, that most plausible require traveling the world? Did a nice merchant teach her the ropes? Did she loiter around at the marketplace nearly all the time? Her knowledge of that salt and spices thing and ability to think outside the box so far...that's hard to believe.
I also wanted to call BS on haggling down that ore, but I reread it. Haggling it down from 28700 sense to 24200 sense is acceptable.
But what I don't get,why did the change her job in the very same town, she was known as temptress? As I see it the church of that world has the monopoly on job changes. If that priest would have noticed, that her job changed without their help, that easily could have ended up very ugly. Maybe their wouldn't have been a town on their route with a fitting facility to change the job, but couldn't that have been put of for some time?
