🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

"That's what I thought. He must have done something. No wonder I spent half the tournament hanging out with that pirate-thief..." Erica begins to "recount the information she knows." - "Personally, I'm not familiar with this person. I saw him for the first time on a train, when I was going to the tournament. He was with three other people: Zenus, Sisiandra, and Jack. Jack was the one wearing the mask. However, he was taken off the train at the border." - "The second time I saw him was at the exit of the Beacon of the South, when I was going to register for the tournament. He was standing there with Sisiandra. Maybe they were just chatting, maybe they were waiting for someone, I don't know..." - "I saw him for the third time at the bar. He and Sisiandra met Zenus there. They acted as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time. I found this strange, since they had just been traveling together on the train, but I didn't pay much attention to it, as I was in a hurry to register." - "After registration, I went to the betting office and to the broker to see what was going on, and then to the workshop. But the workshop was already closed when I arrived, so I went back to the tournament, where I learned about what had happened and the 'changes.' There I also saw Jack in the mask. I have no idea how he got there. However, I can't be sure that it was the same one who was taken off the train. But the mask is the same, the name is the same, and he was hanging around with Zibab and his group. Too many coincidences..." - "Then the battles began. After the first battle, this pirate appeared... Tylo Bocchi, my first opponent in the tournament. Yes, he introduced himself to me before the battle: 'I am Tylo Bocchi, a sea robber...' He then spent a lot of time with Zibab... I don't know what they were up to, but I remember that he kept calling Zibab John..." - "Before the last battle of the first round, this pirate approached me, started talking about one of the opponents, and left. After that, one of my things disappeared. It was the affiliation monocle. I borrowed it from a friend to identify possible Haranian spies in Asuguh. I didn't have time to return it before the tournament. I don't know why the pirate needed it; he doesn't look like a sorcerer, and the monocle is useless in the hands of an ordinary person. I didn't immediately report the theft, as I didn't want to disrupt the tournament, for which I had traveled so far. But immediately after it ended, I told one of the guards. However, I didn't notice anyone starting any kind of search..." - "That's all. Then I went with my friends to the Temple to ask for a place to stay for the night; we didn't have enough money for a hotel, all the healers took it. I don't know anything else..."
