🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Camistella strains her memory, trying to recall what the Thrall Academy was like before the Haranian threat emerged, and at the same time, she wonders how the recruitment of defenders for her homeland is progressing.

It was a private educational institution where anyone could learn the art of war (usually for a fee, but not always). Camistella learns that there are many people willing to participate in the defense of the country against the undead directly at the academy, but no one knows for sure how things are in other parts of the country and in other institutions.

- I doubt we'll have money for a hotel after all this, - Erika smirked.
- To the Temple? Well, maybe we can try... Shall we go?

- Well, and unlike Asuguh, no one will let you sleep for free in the city administration building, - Sheila shook her head, - this is one of the many reasons why Asuguh is better than all these strange lands.
The group arrives at a modest Temple of Arselia. Unlike other parts of the city, no one here charges travelers for anything, and one of the sisters provides them with a place to sleep and a meal, which is a meat soup.

- Thank you, brother, - says Genza, looking seriously into the receptionist's eyes. - For understanding me, and I understanding you. I understand your situation and will definitely pray for you, Shiri. Write down my name - Zibaba, son of Zabiba. If you want, tell me yours to make the prayer easier. But even if not, I think she won't miss.

"Brother" did not say his name.
- She will be proud if we finish this business properly. So, we should try our best.
The trio arrives at the designated place. It was a large ward with ten beds, and Zumi was lying on one of them. Unfortunately, she is unconscious now, so it will not be easy to talk to her.
- ... Should we wake her up?... - Hisoka inquired, suggesting.
- Let her sleep and recover.

- Mother Anuzish! - covering his ears from the noise, the guy jumped to his feet, watching the celestial being disintegrate. - Or maybe we don't need this "things were better before", huh?
With annoyance, he added to his to-do list that he should definitely buy a camera like Linshi's, and for now, he just sketched the fascinating spectacle in his diary.


- ... Well, what do you say? I'll call it "Aconia's Shield", future generations will admire it in a museum.

- I'll say that you're wasting your talent as an artist, - replied the Dog?... No, it was Inak, who had appeared behind him. - It was a beautiful explosion, you don't get to see that often.
