🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- You're right, this mortal body has experienced even worse. - Lighting a free cigarette, the guy coughed from the unfamiliar taste. - The smoke in the lungs, ahem, can't be compared to water in them... - Still holding the tobacco product in his fingers, he suddenly drew a sword, cleaned of Calcite blood, from its scabbard and held it to his own throat. - I don't like to be a know-it-all, especially in response to someone's kindness, but isn't it true that, according to your logic, the best thing I can do now is to finish what I started... the promised thing? - Returning the blade to its place, he inhaled the smoke again - this time without coughing. - I agree with what you're saying, but... despite the baseness of my actions, the worst thing in my situation is not them or their consequences, but the lack of consistent beliefs... At that time, I was convinced of my love for my girlfriend and was ready to face the end with her, but now I wouldn't do it for anything, and I don't feel any longing for her... That's what scares me the most. Maybe I'm not a human at all, but just a lower form of life that was lucky enough to be born in a human body? I'm not sure that I wouldn't stab you or others in the back under certain circumstances... - He didn't understand the part about becoming a king and returning to life, but he decided not to dwell on it, figuring he had already exhausted his supply of smart remarks during this conversation. - If you want to improve your combat skills, then you've probably come to the right place... But I don't know about revenge... What if the enemy is also part of this organization? You wouldn't betray it, would you? Hey!
Unexpectedly, the edges of both of Higi's palms landed on the heads of both smokers.
- Next time, I'll hit you with steel, so get out of here!

—If they were rich, they would have already imposed taxes on themselves. —the southerner brushed the crumbs from the tablecloth back onto the plate. —I don't really mind such a system, but it looks like an empty inflation of numbers. Self-sufficient powers won't do that, and they won't split into fragments either. —taking a sip of cool water, he proceeds to the next pastry. —What do you think about the queen? She seems to be friends with our king, but the interview gave a mixed impression... M, by the way, did you happen to read it? If you're interested, I can share it with you.

- She's unusual, I don't know what other words to use to describe her. King Thiozar, although a monarch, is still a person, just like you and me, in his behavior and speech, but Queen Lunamaria seems to be from another world, I don't even know what she's thinking. - After thinking for a moment, Nergal decides to add to his thought. - Of course, I'm not trying to offend her with these words, I'm just expressing my inability to understand her. And thank you for the offer, but I've already read the interview.

– Thank you, Mrs. Kimchilla, finally this injustice has been corrected! – Kamistella said after a while. – By the way, what time is it now? I seem to have lost track of time during our fascinating conversations...

The question arose for a reason, because nine in the morning could not be now.

- It's four o'clock in the afternoon, - replied the wealthy friend, looking at her expensive wristwatch, - it's time for me to go.

- You're stupid, - the mushroom snapped, - why would they be looking for you if they could send the confiscated "property" to your place of residence? If I were a human, I would do the same. And my story is short - I was kidnapped, studied, and questioned about where I came from. In the end, they decided that I was not a threat, but they became interested in my "homeland" - but the inspection did not take place, I heard from the postman that the store, along with the surrounding forest, had disappeared.

- Oh! 😯 Thank you! ☺️ Such a thing will definitely not be лишней!

After saying goodbye to the Lunarian, Insho went to Kuromod.
- Hello! I want to learn how to be a traveler! Extra slots are never лишними!

"I wish I had some extra slots" 😏

- It's too late, come tomorrow morning. And what is this nonsense with your speech, some new seduction technique? Don't even try, it won't work on me - I'm immune to that.
