- Oh, war hero! Greetings! - despite the fact that it was a year ago, Peschany Pes remembered the grumbler who chased them off the beach, and perhaps even felt some pleasant emotion from seeing a familiar face. - And I didn't know you were here; it's a small world.
He was a little worried that the guy still hadn't taken off the bandages - what was he sick with?
- And what's the price? It's definitely not for free, - assessing the presence of a katana on his belt - this time, already an expert, Ghenza was able to identify the type of blade, but he clicked his tongue when he saw "skip phase" after checking the price list. - What are you going to do, - he sighed disappointedly.
- You know, my old man was in that guild, but it ended up killing him. So I thought, maybe there are some quests, maybe I can complete one along the way. But apparently, it's either a premium thing, or "Storm" has taken everything for itself... Hey, what's this "Storm" you're talking about? Something must be known about it, if even the Boss paid attention to it, - realizing that the other might not understand his slang, he added. - I mean, the king.
- No way. The Crown pays. - He shrugs. - Nothing is known about it, except that it looks identical to the ship of some old fool who liked to ride on alien tentacles. Wherever it appears, there's immediately bad weather; sometimes it attacks merchant ships, sometimes military ships, sometimes just transport ships. This doesn't happen often, and it's not easy to catch, so the damage from this little ship isn't significant enough to warrant actively pursuing it, but apparently, they decided that such surprises aren't needed in these times and mobilized all the relevant forces to detect and eliminate it.
