Black Ice

...I can break the spell that threatens the lives of the peasants. However, it will take some of my time...
- If you agree, I can start freeing the peasants' minds right now, - said the stranger.

David didn't like the stranger. Clearly, a noble upstart, and also skilled in magic. However, there was no one else to expect help from. Atelstan has left, I essentially have a linear storyline. :) David turned to the stranger:
- You said the procedure would take some time. For obvious reasons, we can't leave them both here. Let's assume we agree. Will you be able to do it before we leave?
Then the warrior nodded to Dalingr:
- It's a serious matter, it can't be solved on the fly, you understand. We'll step aside with the guys and think it over.
