🔥 Иказкан -> Тезот

No one knelt or performed any other rituals, but being in the center of a group of curious eyes was not a pleasant experience in itself.
- Tell me, Hat, is everything alright, or is everything a mess? - Kaen asks, and the subordinate's silence reveals the answer. - Tell me how it happened.
The crossbowman describes the incident in the Ganba cave in detail.
- It happened like this... I underestimated him, and at the same time, I overestimated him. It's my fault. - He wipes the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. - But the guys didn't mess up, they didn't really know what they were getting into. I would even say that they did well, considering the circumstances...
- I see. - He nods to the others. - Throw him into the pit with the bugs.
Hat's face turns the color of paper, but he doesn't resist - he knows it's pointless. He is grabbed and taken away from Ting.
- I already know the pervert, and I think I'm seeing you for the first time, - he looks at Dorian with interest, - tell me, Sorcerer, what do you expect from our order.

Dora was not too surprised by Hat's sentence, although he was not pleased. In the underground world, failure always meant fatal consequences, and no commander would encourage such behavior. For a moment, it seemed to him that Kaen was as far from the common man in his hierarchy as a man was from a non-human in his own, but this thought did not develop further.

- I've been in the decommission for a long time, Boss. - He pointed to what was left of his face. - So if we have met, I wouldn't remember or recognize you, it's a fresh start. What do I expect?... I'm a simple-minded man, and my thoughts are the same. I want people to not be treated like sheep underground. Since they don't want to live with us on equal terms, let them know that they have missed their last chance! And above ground, if there is one... I want to have a mansion, with non-human servants, a woman or a harem, gold and jewels, so that everything is like for humans! And everyone knows that Dorych is not some nobody, but an important figure. I will also arrange things underground, though. - He grinned with a couple of remaining teeth. - According to local customs, I will simply die in the next tunnel from a random battle-bug, but with your guys, Boss, there is at least a chance of success! If I don't mess up again... That's it, basically.
