☀️ Arselia and Akonia

The Raven frowned.
— Visits to what? The King turned out to be useless. Useless, useless, useless! He knows nothing! The King is an idiot! Wrap him in a cloak, let him be silent and walk like a shadow behind you. There are no undead detectors in the cities of Calcite. None?
— No. — Septet confirms.
— Let the ghost of Kenichiro follow too. Let him follow?
— If Kenichiro has no aggressive intentions, he can remain unnoticed... — Septet agrees. — Let him just avoid people of faith.
— Additional funding has just been provided. Is it enough?

And why, one wonders, did Septet agree with her plan to seek help, if the solution was available and so simple? The bird was wise, but sometimes it faltered.
— Enough, — Alaria agreed, counting the rems, — you're right. And thank you for the advice about the king. Although, of course, his vizier... but there will be time to think about that later.
The words about Kenshiro's nature, however, made the Tanarsian girl thoughtful.
— Hmm, correct me if I misunderstood the question, but are you saying that Kenshiro, in his current state, has become the perfect spy and can track a hypothetical apostle as long as he cannot see spirits? This would open up a whole range of new possibilities for us. Of course, if stalking with the aim of cutting the apostle in half around the corner is not considered an intention aggressive enough to reveal him prematurely. Although, even without that, there is some benefit.
Having finished one thought, the girl quickly jumped to another, which came to her in its place.
— What about the tournament? I suppose that if we want to enter Klin there, mere rags will probably not be enough. And it would be interesting to know what to do if we complete our mission and need to return to Margel. I'm looking far into the future, of course. We still need to find and defeat two more apostles. But surely Margel's defenses should be better? Or will I have to swim alone in case of success, while my companions are picked up by some other means?
