well... I'm smart, a bit of an economist, a bit of a historian, a bit of a magician, a bit of a fighter.
Not quite understanding what was happening, the stranger cautiously reached for the sword's hilt, but as soon as Kline let go, it rushed to the ground, along with the woman holding it.
"See?" asked the blacksmith, completely forgetting that it was his fault that a random passerby was now sprawled on the floor of his forge.
The response seemed a little too modest to the Burrow Queen, but after taking a closer look at the candidate's rare weapon, his rich armor, discussing his character traits with Raphael, and gaining insight into his non-standard qualities from the charlist, Ayko decided that Merel, while somewhat strange, was useful. His ambitions apparently did not match his modest speech, but that was good in its own way... After discussing the terms a little more with the economist-historian-mage-fighter, Ayko, with the help of Raphael, gives Merel a contract to sign. -- Congratulations on joining, you can settle into one of the available rooms. You will be informed about the next meeting in due time.
—I’m not Raphael, so I won’t just hand my sword to any random succubus.
If you don’t trust the master who forged your weapon, there’s no point in serving as a knight. The Knight draws a gleaming weapon from its scabbard and hands it to the stranger.
What do you mean, “any random”? He actually avoids them…
- Konbanwa, - the Japanese woman addressed the editor. - Our peasants eat bamboo shoots and chikuma during difficult times. It's cheap and simple, but it helps them maintain their strength. Would you like to try some, Nadia-san?
“I can’t believe my eyes…” Klin could only stammer. “You truly are the greatest blacksmith the empire has ever known.”
Even for him, a man of calm and rational nature, it was difficult to imagine what had just happened. He was already pondering the magical or material concepts behind such a weapon. Surely, it could be loaded onto a cart and carried along. Does this mean the rune only protects against living attacks? And if an artificial hook is used, how will it distinguish between an inanimate tool and malicious intent?
Suddenly remembering the stranger lying at his feet, the knight hurried to return the weapon and tried to help her up. “I apologize for this incident, miss; I hope you weren’t hurt.”

— Hi, — already forgetting what form of address they had agreed on, the journalist spoke informally, — I don't quite understand what that is... Are you offering?
—I can't believe my eyes... —Klin could only stammer. —You truly are the greatest blacksmith the empire has ever known. Even for him, a man of calm and rational nature, it was difficult to imagine what had just happened. He was already starting to think about what magical or material concepts this weapon possessed.

Suddenly remembering the stranger lying at his feet, the knight hurried to return the weapon and tried to help her get up. —I apologize for this incident, miss, I hope you weren't hurt.
— No, I'm not hurt. —The stranger replied, brushing herself off and gritting her teeth. —But it was a close call. —Looks like the safety feature kicked in. —The blacksmith commented. —Don't look at me like that, it was a compliment. Hey, Klin! You should find a way to compensate the girl for the damage... Maybe take her out on a date?
The next morning, Astellia and then Kalina arrive in Karneol.

It seems our new candidate has somewhat perplexed the little leader. Nevertheless, he is accepted into the squad. Are they afraid of the princess, or is there something else at play? Lost in thought, Kelian dra left the hall, saying to Garret as she departed:
— I am Kelian dra. Feel free to contact me if you need anything.
Garret responded with a brief nod.Author
— As for you, Mr. Garret, — the gnome continued. — Is it true that you are interested in... certain areas of human knowledge that are not usually discussed? — she decided to lay all her cards on the table. — Perhaps you are a mage?
"What? Couldn't you have phrased it any more convolutedly?" Garret paused for a moment, trying to understand what she meant. — If you're talking about possessing some forbidden magic, then no, I can't. I only have some local experience and knowledge in performing traditional rituals, which might seem blasphemous to the ignorant, but that's no longer relevant. In this land, I don't feel capable of anything like that.
