| Somewhat disllusioned about the possibility of avoiding supernatural obstacles to the orderly pursuit of his calling, and having made Nemedia much too hot to hold him, Conan drifts south again into Corinthia, where, in one of the small city-states making up that country, he continues to occupy himself with the unlawful appropriation of private property. He is about nineteen at this time, harder and more experienced if not more given to unprofitable caution than when he first appeared in the southern kingdoms. |
