Near one of the city squares, a strange, hunched old man had been standing for several days. His long hair, hanging over his face, was covered in dirt, as were the baggy rags he was wrapped in. He stood close to the busiest place and quietly chanted:
-- Gentlemen, I haven't eaten in six days... Please give something to a former mage of the guild...
And a meager tear rolled down his cheek.
At the same time, his thoughts were of a different nature:
"They're back again, they just want to come and laugh at the old man! Well, no one will watch, I'll show you, you unfinished observers! Ooooh, it's so hot in these rags, worn over my robe... I should have taken it off first, but never mind, at least they won't steal it."
- Poor fellow. - A man said with great sadness in his voice, approaching the sorcerer. - How unfair is this country, if it allows people to starve!
"Well, I really don't like looking for anyone, it's so boring!" - the rogue said to herself, or whispered quietly, as she walked along one of the central streets of Covellia. "Why can't they just give me all the information at once, huh..."
With these thoughts, Adilika headed to the city tavern, because, as everyone knows, it is there that you can get the most valuable information and the most delicious food.
- Thanks, buddy! - said Shushuk, patting the man on the shoulder.
He did not pay attention to his dismissive attitude. The orc has never been particularly bothered by verbal attacks directed at him, unless he just wanted to punch someone in the face.
Shushuk decided to go to the Warriors of Ansgar. To ask for a blessing from Ansgar, to remember his comrades, to find out useful information, and, of course, to have a drink.

Having arrived in Covellia, Tirza immediately went to the sentry, to the coliseum. From the stories of merchants, she already knew about the existence of this place in the capital. And the girl was eager to quickly cross her sword with someone other than the soft-bodied Illiaran bandits.
- That's it, - the Illiaran guy, who was in charge of providing information and registering participants, finished explaining to her.
First, Rum Kon headed to the Thaosian dragon, because he had already heard a lot about it from his master, but the cry: "Gifts of Arcadia" attracted the attention of the novice hero.
- How can I help you, sir...?
