— Next time, show your hand, — the Tanarisi said reproachfully, rubbing her bruise, — but we have news. Good and not so good. The good news is that we defeated the Apostle of Captivity and obtained one of the Hearts of Akonia. The bad news is that the victory came at a very high cost, — the former warrior paused, gathering her thoughts, — that scoundrel deprived me of my combat skills. Just with a snap of his fingers, using his curse magic. The curse also affected Klin and Kenshiro, but their curses took a different form. Klin became a death knight, binding his soul to a sword, and Kenshiro became a ghost. Fortunately, this did not negatively affect their combat skills, but they can no longer enter the city. As for other news, upon returning from our travels through the desert, we found out that for further visits, we... or rather, I, will have to ask for an audience with the Great King again. Considering that last time Kenshiro presented him with a generous gift, and now we have no gifts and I will have to go alone, I am not sure how justified such a course of action will be.
Alaria gave the Triad some time to process the information before continuing.
— Based on this, if such a thing even exists, we would benefit from a way to somehow mask the nature of Klin and Kenshiro, to make it easier to move around cities. This will simplify the execution of the mission and reduce the risks associated with their forced stay in the desert. Of course, additional funding or something that would help me recover faster would also be useful, but solving the problem of my comrades is currently the highest priority. At the moment, this is one of our main problems, — the girl formulated her request, — can we expect anything in this area? If so, when should we expect your next visit? Do you have any further, clarifying questions about the information provided or the progress of the mission?
— Visits to what?... The King turned out to be useless. Useless, useless, useless! He knows nothing! The King is an idiot! Wrap Klin in some kind of cloak, let him be silent and walk behind you like a shadow. There are no undead detectors in the cities of Calcite. Are there not?
— No, — Septet confirms.
— Let the ghost Kenshiro also follow. Let him follow?
— If Kenshiro has no aggressive intentions, he can remain unnoticed... — Septet agrees. — Let him just avoid people of faith.
— I just gave additional funding. Is it not enough?
