I'll tally up the battle results tomorrow.

— Lady Eet, I've heard that in addition to managing the supply depot, you also conduct research related to these lands. If it's not too much trouble and you have a moment, could I, out of mere curiosity, inquire about it in more detail?

— My area of responsibility includes studying the flora and fauna of Sselay, as well as geological research, based on which I try to determine the distinctive features of this region, diseases that affect humans, the presence of useful minerals, the potential benefits of unique ingredients, animal behavior, and possible ways to exploit them. It should be noted separately that non-humans also fall into the latter category, and therefore, at this stage, a wide range of opportunities are opening up.

- You've spoiled her... But at least it's quieter now," Raphael returned to his guest seat. - "...in general, that's how things are with me. For now, we're working this way. But enough about me - how are you? You look like something's bothering you.

— It was bothering me, but only until recently. — Inar nodded towards the rope that was now untied. — You caught me at not the most opportune moment... But I've had plenty to do lately. — He also took his seat, and his voice became a little more serious. — I heard that Sharan Aganso has disappeared, and with his absence, the victory of the coalition forces will not take long, but the slaughter continues. Part of the Lisliar elite is trying with all their might to repel the invaders, understanding that with defeat in the war, their former life will go downhill, while others are attacking each other in the fight against the "blood tax," and no one really understands who is on whose side. With such prospects, it may not be limited to ten percent.

-- Ma'am, you are more than worthy of performing any combat tasks for you, otherwise you wouldn't be our commander. Give me such a task, and I will complete it. But in this case, it's not a combat task, as far as I can tell. Besides, I'm more than sure that a thoroughbred steed will handle it better, and you will look amazing riding on it.

— So, you're saying that if I sent you to help on a farm, you would refuse because it's not a combat task? Aren't you being a little too picky for a soldier and a mercenary?

— I think I can't deny that you're right," Shen nodded. — I did have reasons, several, in fact, to leave my homeland. But, perhaps, there's no point in burdening you with them. Unless, I'll note the main thing: I was starting to get morally tired of feeling uncomfortable among my fellow tribesmen, who also disagreed with me in some ways, and I wanted to expand my knowledge of my own world. Moreover, I was interested in learning more about the El Isin clan, of which I am a part thanks to my traveling great-grandfather.
As proof of his belonging to the ancient dynasty, Shen showed Julius a bracelet of his ancestor.

— Family and its roots are important in almost any culture, and therefore your endeavor is noble, but if you want to share your story about life in your homeland in more detail, I will gladly listen to you. We don't seem to be in a hurry, and as a spirit, I don't have any particular tasks.
