🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

-- I was almost eaten by rats in the pit, and I was covered in "red spots"... Well, I did talk, yes. I asked questions. But a year has passed. A year. I don't know where you were studying, but I took a tactics course. Let's say we've been cursed. We are now weak and not entirely controllable allies of the knight – why would he want that? It's illogical. Let's say he can finish us off at any moment. But we bring him neither benefit nor harm – what's the point of all this fuss? It's illogical. From a tactical and strategic point of view, this leads nowhere. And about your "loss of control"... I didn't experience anything like that. Maybe you were just too nervous and were doing something crazy, right?
In reality, there were too many current problems for Ushumgall to also deal with events from a year ago. Although his intuition told him that the knight's appearance to so many people was not just a coincidence, his mind refused to believe it and clung to logical fallacies with the tenacity of a drowning man. This cannot be, because...
"I don't like this."
"It's meaningless."
