Listening to Inar's stories about how things were going in Airisufir, Linderia was once again glad that she had decided to accompany Raphael during his visit to his friend. It was difficult to overestimate the benefit of the information obtained from the former slave trader, even though the sorceress had suspected some of the details before. Of course, Mr. Kosto would probably have shared what he learned with his companions anyway, but Linderia preferred to hear everything directly from the source, unfiltered by someone else's perception.
Helping Airisufir in its upcoming conquests seemed like a good idea to the girl, and she had been considering it even before visiting Mr. Anluki. From the point of view of benefit and potential for realizing her personal ambitions, this was a very good option. Although the work itself, without a doubt, was extremely dirty, and Linderia did not feel any enthusiasm for it. According to the laws already in effect in the empire, it was perfectly clear that nothing good awaited the inhabitants of the conquered lands under the rule of Airisufir. But the sorceress had long since come to terms with the fact that in order to achieve certain goals, it was difficult, and sometimes even impossible, not to get her hands dirty—otherwise, she would not have joined the "Golden Griffin." The work also had other drawbacks, such as the dissidents described by Inar. While the claims of many of them were more than understandable, the presence of Lisliar among the rebels did not bode well. The involvement of troops in the upcoming military campaign could be used by a hostile neighbor to further destabilize the situation in the empire. The result of this could be either a simple cessation of Airisufir's advance into the lands of non-humans, or, in the worst-case scenario, a war with Lisliar, who would want to take advantage of its vulnerability. Of course, this was just one of Linderia's assumptions, and the girl had no guarantees that this is exactly what would happen. But she preferred to consider all possible scenarios.
