Nowaru

Tirza spread her hands, as if showing herself off:
- If you defeat me, I will spend the night with you. I doubt you've had anything like that with someone of my appearance, despite all your wealth. And I know a thing or two about entertainment myself. Of course, if a night with me is your prize, then you also return my equipment that I lost in the battle. If I drop out of the tournament before you, I will also fulfill my promise. Does this prize suit you, or do you have any counter-offer?

- Very interesting. I must admit, I've been missing new sensations lately. - Tarageros bit his right thumb. - However, when it comes to deals, I prefer when there is an equal weight on both sides of the scales. If I participate in an event that I don't care about, then you and I will have a good time, that is, we both benefit from it. And that's not to mention the fact that you are putting forward an additional condition regarding the equipment that will be used during the battle. Hmm, I don't see any balance.

- Curious, - Kir replied thoughtfully, - What effect do the last two have? By the way, you had some kind of tome lying around there, if I'm not mistaken.

- Hmm, to describe it in a few words, "Spatial Distortion" is when you are in Ilianar now, and in a couple of moments you are in the far south of Erathia. Unfortunately, there are no words in the Ilianar language to describe the effect of Phantasmagoria. And the tome... It's a rather primitive thing, containing spells from many schools for self-study.

- Of course, of course, you don't have to worry about the cost. I want to know as much as possible about a certain person named Lalassu. - the assassin got down to business. - Who is he, what does he do, where can I find him.

- Not so fast, darling. - The man twirled a couple of silver coins in his thin fingers. - Five thousand Linears. I accept in bills, silver, or gold.

- Well, then I'm off to the bank! Thank you, dear! - Mirabella left her upper-class townhouse and ran to the bank.

There weren't many people in the bank at the moment, so Mirabella didn't need much time to get the staff's attention. - How can the Bank of Covellia help you, madam?
