☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—As history shows, the fewer uninvited guests, the better... And I'm usually at headquarters in the evenings because I have another job during the day on weekdays. And unlike our boss, I haven't yet learned how to magically manage to be in both places at the same time. —the knight decided to explain.

- Our boss just runs so fast that she travels through time and can be in two places at once, - Ghion snorted.

—Those who readily rush to their death at any moment usually don't live long and are actually seeking that death, —Alaria allowed herself to be a bit of a nag, —true heroism requires a sensible and balanced approach, not just bravado. You can't force everyone to perform the "Ritual," unfortunately. Some of them may not even know that this hypothetical knight defeated a powerful demon, of which they would otherwise have been the victim. At the same time, it will be difficult to ignore the rumors spread by malicious tongues, so they will alienate the hero from themselves, not through their own evil intentions. Again, I agree with you that heroes should be valued, but situations in life are different. To be honest, I expected you to assess all this from a slightly different angle. That the reward for a hero is needed so that he can perform even more heroic deeds. So that the sword does not become dull and the armor is of good quality. So that there are enough supplies. Otherwise, at one point, he will fall victim to villains. Or he will be left with nothing and will be forced to take a break, working part-time in some tavern. Do you and I not know how unprofitable such a lifestyle is?

Since Kilika did not want to take Zlobina's tests, the ubiquitous Zostmer took advantage of the free forms. One and two.
- Well, I'm all for good and against everything bad.
