🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- You, of course, know better, but I think it would be even more terrible to expect the pain to repeat itself than it was the first time. - Kami didn't quite understand what his comrade was trying to convey. - Well, yes, it probably makes sense, although ideally it's better not to get into such situations at all... It's not that simple with our profession.
The workshop was not working.

Scar, Ushumgallu, Genza, Ferrus, and Kami continue north and reach the Sushian Gate, but this time they don't pass under it, but climb the walls. From there, a nightmarish sight unfolds before their eyes: legions of lifeless Calcite bodies lay beneath them amidst the ruins of siege weapons. Some fell victim to Asuguh arrows, others fell from a great height and were smashed, and others experienced boiling oil. Hyenas, vultures, and other inhabitants of this area enthusiastically enjoyed the generous feast.

—It's good to hear. I wouldn't want to end up in Margel one day and face a lack of food for the mind. —twisting his neck and lower back and cracking his fingers, he picks up a cabinet and waits for his colleagues' command. —..Ugh, and they still say that knowledge doesn't affect physique. How are you doing here? Did the Zombaris bother you too much?

- Fortunately, in Asuguh, everyone can freely carry weapons, so we were not defenseless against the zombies.
Working together, Asmidul and the library staff lift the fallen cabinet and return the books to their places. After several repetitions of this procedure (by the end of the day), the work to restore the damage to the library is completed.

"Yeah... Jingo is probably the one Scar and Zibaba were talking about at the Tournaments. Arena? No... I've had enough arenas for now... Quicksand? Ha, what kind of sand? Mufigur is not yet a desert..."
Erika decided to go to Quicksand to see what this wonder is.
