Trio and Arin drive off the Gutangs with the Airship and some Root Stew. The Court Minstrel sings a ballad about the Illiops, their unusual crops and talents. Meanwhile, Prince Arin investigates a previously hidden chamber in the castle, and discovers an ancient book which Teddy opens with one of the Crystals. The book has strange writing, and has pictures of a crop unknown to Grundo -- peanuts from Rillonia -- which Grubby just happens to have. Gimmick duplicates buckets of peanuts with a portable Duplicating machine (based upon the Multiplication Table). Everyone plants the replicated peanuts in the fields surrounding the castle, while Tweeg and LB find the castle vault, and discover that it's empty. King Nogburt's condition worsens.
