🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Leader Asmidul and assistants Kamistella/Linshi arrive at the "Light of Sizki." It was lunchtime, and they find the sought-after Genz in the dining hall, where two other individuals cursed by the Black Knight are also present. Although they feel somewhat better than before, they are still given easily digestible food, and today it is mashed potatoes with boiled chicken fillet and boiled carrots.

Erika's face "virtually" darkens, even darker than the Black Knight who haunted her dreams a year ago and who, for some reason, has started to "bother" her again towards the end of her stay in the Calcite pit. The spoon of food slowly returns to the plate without reaching her mouth, and her mind gradually begins to drift "somewhere far away..."

"YOUUUU..."

For a moment, Erika forgets about Genz and even about the accursed Calcite...

"Come on, do it. This is your chance!" a voice said.
"Abra, cadabra..."
"Wait! Don't you want to burn down the hospital?" a second voice said...
"But this creature took Jack from me! I'll deal with him. The hospital won't suffer..."
"That's right! Kill this creature!!!"
"No! Just not here! Not in front of witnesses!"
"But this is a Haran sorcerer! An enemy of Asuguh!"
"That still needs to be proven... You'd better invite him for a walk. To a deserted forest, closer to the sea. So that you can feed the fish right away, in the glory of Zhyusyiksizire!"

While Erika was "listening" to the advice of the two voices, a third "appeared" in her head:
"Hold on, don't get so worked up. Look, your friend is there too! They probably came to you with a good offer. Erika is the future ruler of Shingen! Isn't that cool?"

In the end, Erika came to the conclusion that she could deal with this "Haran sorcerer" later, and for now, she could listen to what "good offer" these two and her friend had come with. At the same time, she decided to enlighten the entire trio with her monocle, including Kamistella.

Added 6 minutes later

Asmidul, as the boss of this criminal group of murderers and sadists, was supposed to start the speech, but the first words involuntarily came from Kamistella.

"Erika... you... after a whole year, have we still not found a single reason to hint at the Black Knight to each other..."

Indeed, the world is small!

Erika is silent. She is waiting for the "testimony" of the monocle and the "good offers" from the "sorcerer".
