☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— Huh? I already completed it yesterday.

-- Well, we haven't exchanged results yet, so it doesn't count for now.)

— We can go together if you want. There's an important nuance: even if someone agrees, they might have financial concerns. Also, we can't rule out questions about our field of activity; we can just answer briefly, saying, "we are mercenaries." It's important to work through these issues, because our mysterious hunter might not want to just waltz into headquarters.

-- Yes, regarding financial issues, it's a bit difficult to persuade people with our current salaries... And although I've been promising to talk about raises for a long time, I haven't been able to do so yet. So, maybe we should be a little more careful with this topic. As for the field of activity, the Empire is looking for any personnel for all its structures, and we are one such structure for particularly critical tasks. It couldn't be simpler.

— It so happened that throughout my life, I have hunted monsters and encountered them in various conditions. If there is a desire, I could give a short lecture on this subject. Although my knowledge of some types of monsters is limited to the theoretical. I also have ideas about items that could help us.

-- Let's do it right now. For example, I have a very poor understanding of the undead creature called a "lich," which makes up the Nephilim elite. Am I right in assuming that they are professional soul manipulators?
