Lungworth

— I have no desire to abuse your hospitality, and I hope that a person with my skills will not have any problems finding stable sources of income, which will be enough to pay for accommodation in Lungwort.

In this situation, the day is approaching when all citizens of Serberia will rely on state support, but all the work will be done for them by golems, and the citizens themselves, in the time freed from work, will develop themselves, study natural sciences, and experience a new flourishing of art! - Lester took a breath and hastily explained, so as not to be mistaken for a madman. - This is what I quoted as an example of the arguments that exist among these people... We, you know, had to study Serberian customs at school and college, after all, we are neighbors... I myself am baptized, as is my whole family, it's just a professional deformation, you understand...

-- Yes, an adventure, -- said the girl, putting everything in her bag. -- It was easier in Nakiri, -- she concluded with a touch of irony. -- But okay, what are the plans now?
