Do we have anyone who can cast Resurrection, just in case? Otherwise, I can send Renold with you to fight the Golem, if that would be helpful. —A hundred? —Ilva counted her money, looking confused. —Oh, I don't have that much right now. Sorry, I'll come back later... After silently cursing the merchants who were overcharging, Ilva decided to go look for her brother, hoping he hadn't left the Baron's estate yet. Renold listened carefully to the Baron's advice. At least, it seemed that he was generally on the right track, which was very encouraging. He had often heard that some people are born with a talent for something, while others, even with hard work, will never achieve anything worthwhile, and he didn't want to find out that he was simply incompatible with fencing. —An ace up your sleeve? Hmm, I should think about that. Thank you very much. As for Veserod and Gulveig... —the young man paused for a moment. —Well, I would compare the first one to my duel with Anders, which means I need agility to dodge arrows, speed to catch up with him quickly, and luck. A lot of luck. —he smiled bitterly. —As for Gulveig... I just couldn't inflict enough serious damage, and in the end, I got exhausted without causing any harm. Maybe I should have attacked more aggressively. Or more often.
—To be blunt: in your situation, victory over Veserod was impossible, and you lost even before the fight began: the guy had significantly more experience and a territorial advantage. I suppose that such a truth may seem unpleasant to you, but it is a good lesson; during competitions, you had no choice, but in real conditions, it should teach you not to seek battles where they can be avoided, which in itself is one of the main rules for a warrior who wants to live a long life and remain with all his limbs. As for Gulveig, you shouldn't have closed the distance and simply moved around the designated combat area, waiting for the fight to end. Sometimes, a shameful draw is better than a glorious defeat. Of course, this is only true in the current circumstances: train, and other opportunities will open up for you.
