"Lady Laurentia, allow me..." Tyros stepped forward. "Friends! My father would never have resorted to such methods in the past... He always disliked mages and considered it unacceptable to use supernatural powers to satisfy his own ambitions, but now... For his own healing, he not only put our province in danger from another state but also allied himself with an elven sorceress from the "Gnosis" and an eastern vampire, and he is ready to sacrifice thousands of glorious warriors like you... This man is not my father, but only his shadow!"
"Sir Tyros, I don't think you've explained anything of real importance right now (¬_¬)... Anyway, the Count needs the following things for his treatment: the Tear of Arteria, fragments of a valkyrie's stigma, and a large amount of life energy. According to his plan, this probably happens like this: in an attempt to disrupt this scheme and return the "Tear," Rika spills the forest with the blood of numerous soldiers and mercenaries, fights with a warrior from the Empty Clan, and then she, exhausted after a long battle, is finished off by other soldiers or mercenaries – maybe even you... Then this vampire converts the blood of the fallen into energy, and the sorceress does her dark work with the body of the defeated valkyrie. Therefore, I want to ask you, are you willing to risk your lives and the lives of other people for a handful of coins when nothing worth fighting for is at stake?"
