🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks Auto-translated

Ushumgallu goes to the library, while Gonor visits the temple of Nammu Ai, embraces the faith, begs for the goddess's smile to protect his sword, buys golden bracelets, and a set of pocket portraits. That's how the cult sucked all the money given to the young man by the Crown for adult life.

Having requested a book about Kingaludde, Ushumgallu sits down to read.

After catching his breath and confirming that the opponent is not moving, Ghenza approaches the respawn point and looks up at the hatch from which the opponent fell:
- Oops. The deed is done, he's lying there. Throw down your rope.

- I don't like your attitude. - Instead of a rope, the kidnapper's voice echoed from below. - I'll have to teach you some manners.
A little later, the inner door of the underground room opened, and a new opponent appeared on the battlefield.

He looked similar to the previous one, but perhaps it just seemed that way due to the circumstances. They couldn't be clones of each other.

Asmidul and I are approaching the desired house, and something unusual happens... Someone sneaks up behind him and puts an arm around his neck!
- Hey, who's messing with you?

- Nah, doesn't look like a mercenary or someone holding a grudge, okay, I apologize. I'll be on my way. And you?

This is my way of communicating with the local High Elves.

– You... are leaving us for so long that you're even willing to give away the mansion? Or are you simply offering me to live here? – the Lunar clarified. – Traveling... there's so much romance in it... if only it were safe.

– As recent events have clearly demonstrated to me, dangers await us around every corner, even in Asuga; perhaps there are even more of them for the mind and soul in a peaceful life. – In fact, before this moment, Kimchilla hadn't even considered the idea of giving away the mansion, but deciding not to go against the prevailing atmosphere, she agreed to it. – I will prepare the documents for the transfer of the house by evening; I sincerely hope that it will be useful to you in the future.

- Hmm, what a lovely shop you have. I'll take some human... I mean, Lodos milk 😅

Camistella believed in the power of female friendship, but now she will have to believe in the power of private property.

- Thank you for your trust, Madam Kimchilla, - replied the Lunarian with a slight bewilderment, - and where does your path lie?

What is she going to do with it now? This mansion is huge! However, she can move into it and rent out the old house for money...

What is she supposed to do with it now? This mansion is huge! Well, she could move into it and rent out the old house...

Become friends with Insho, start an OnlyFans account, film joint orgies with Scrims in the mansion, and rake in the money.

Great idea, let's meet at the artist's house.

I can just imagine the face of that witch when she comes to sell her potion to the rich lady again, and sees the Lunar...

The attacker turns the young man to face him and looks at him carefully, then lets him go.

- Nah, you don't look like a mercenary or someone who's been wronged, alright, I apologize. I'll be on my way. And you?

—And I'm Asmidul. —not entirely sure if the man is having a Calcite flashback or if his caution is well-founded, he decides to answer honestly. —I came from Sizka. I'm an apprentice to Nithra... And now I'm just wandering around, getting to know the locals. Are you expecting trouble from someone?

- Contagion, - he commented on the appearance of the opponent, after which he threw a calcit-like projectile at him, trying to repeat what he had heard earlier from his twin. - Boo-boo-boo-boo.
If you can walk through bodies, then go ahead; if not, move one space to the side.

Kingaludda
Sometimes, only one absurd step separates oblivion from greatness. Kingaludda, though a moderately famous military leader under Akkad Babbarsin Zababe mer Lahare, still lacked the status to warrant a separate mention in history. However, the immeasurable stupidity of one of the royal concubines gave him a magnificent opportunity to immortalize his name in the annals of Calcite...

The exact date of Kingaludda's birth is unknown, but by the time he entered the service of the twenty-year-old Akkad, he was no longer young. He had extensive military experience and was cunning and ambitious enough to amass immense wealth and a solid reputation without sacrificing his own life – which was an incredible feat, considering he had a legion of enemies. He was born into the family of a simple soldier – a strong and cruel man who had no desire for more. This man became the first victim of the future dictator of Barsin when, in a drunken stupor, he tried to beat his son. The fifteen-year-old Kingaludda refused to tolerate such treatment and resolved the situation with a household axe. Deciding not to tempt fate, he fled the city that same day and soon joined a band of desert bandits who preyed on travelers between the cities of Calcite. At eighteen, after spending three years with them, he killed the leader and subjugated his former "comrades" to his cruel will. Over the years, the simple band of bandits grew in number, gained prestige, and began to engage in mercenary activities throughout the southern continent. Kidnapping Amazons from the forests of Nikki, subjecting Ganya to fire and sword, escorting caravans through Minos – the scope of Kingaludda's organization was vast, and he was almost always at the forefront.
When Akkad inherited the Calcite throne, Kingaludda began working directly for him, now commanding an official military unit. The mercenary played a key role in strengthening the royal power and eliminating numerous dissidents – Akkad had many opponents, and the most numerous and powerful were those who opposed his slave-owning reforms, aimed at depriving them of any rights. It was for his role at this point in history that Kingaludda was rewarded by Akkad with enough wealth to never need anything again and to be able to realize his most diverse fantasies.

For the next few years, Kingaludda indulged in hedonism, from which he quickly grew tired, but he was no longer at an age to return to a more exciting life of adventure, intrigue, and danger. Nevertheless, when Akkad was killed and dozens of his sons began to compete for the throne, Kingaludda's former zeal was rekindled, and he seized power in Barsin, which he ruled from 981 to 986, when he fell in battle against the supporters of Felicia Lungwort, the future Calcite queen.

Some of his contemporaries described Kingaludda as a man who was equally ugly in body and spirit, and mere communication with him left people feeling empty.

Having finally finished reading, Erika decided to visit the Guru Guru store.

- Hello! If you're looking for cards, they cost five rem each.

- Mmm, what a lovely shop you have. I'll take some human... I mean, Lodossian milk 😅

- Well... It's not very nice to talk about other people's surnames like that... - The girl gives Insho milk - cow's milk, not her own. - Here you go.

- And I'm Asmidul. - Not entirely sure if the man was having a Calcis flashback or if his caution was well-founded, he decided to answer honestly. - I... came from Sizka. To study with Nitre... And now I'm just wandering around, getting to know the locals. Are you expecting trouble from someone?..

- Yes. I've made a lot of enemies. I was once cursed. Now I can't pronounce some letters. - Delez spread his hands. - So you understand.

Some of his contemporaries described Kingaludd as a man who was equally ugly physically and spiritually, and merely communicating with him left people feeling drained.

So, you don't even need to be an apostle to be cooler than any abomination. Humans 💪💪💪

- Hello, - replied Erika. - And could you tell me more about the cards? What are they and how are they useful? It seems Erika has experienced a time warp. Two hours of reading about Asu's sidequests have somehow disappeared...
