Help... she has a job and a mansion, what kind of help is that?
– Both you and I... we are cursed, and therefore, to complete the task, we need someone who has not had the honor of being killed by a Black Knight, – Camistella shook her head, – besides, the Guild of Wonders is very busy these days, and most of the work is related to the capital, although I don't live there. In other words, I don't have that much free time. Even now, I have other tasks besides meeting with you. So, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrange a journey for the amulet through Asuguh.
Of course, Camistella's mansion had plenty of loyal NPCs, but the mansion only paid them a salary for taking care of herself, alas and alack!
Asmidul looked questioningly at the sorceress, just as he had looked at Linshi the day before. —I doubt your job will be useful when you fall dead in the middle of the street. There is no need to worry about the amulet; in the absence of other options, it will remain my burden. I only ask that you find out something that would be useful to us, to the best of your ability. Or other victims, if you happen to encounter them. You have the ability to identify cursed objects; this may also be very useful. Two heads are better than one, aren't they?
Erika found out that the betting office will start operating after the tournament begins.
"I see... They're waiting for the complete list and the draw..." Erika thought, and then decided to go and see what the information broker's office was like.

- ...something like that? - he answers his own question, watching the unfolding chaos. He wanted to join in, but it wasn't clear who to side with when there were cannibals on both sides. Author
- In short, I didn't find our beauty, but I think the most likely place she is is in the park nearby. They say that some beautiful foreign-looking witch lives there, and the locals try to avoid her. According to the description, she looks like the photo.
After observing the cheerful bedlam with broken heads and teeth flying in all directions, the patriot Asuguha calmed down a bit and continued the conversation in a secluded place: - Yes, I saw her, our character. She looks like an ordinary woman, about 666 percent good, she could be a nanny for the youngest children in a kindergarten, but my gut tells me that something is not right. I didn't show it, but I felt as if she had turned my guts inside out and read them like a brochure. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I need to figure out how to act and at what moment. It seems to me that it will be either during the tourist season or after, when everyone goes to drink, there will be fewer people, and the pharaohs will be busy with their affairs. As for "how" - what do the locals say about her, what are they afraid of? She is not the type to be feared for no reason.
-- Ushumgallu, brother. That's exactly what wouldn't have happened under the old regime! The time of fat cats, swindlers, and mama's boys has come, ugh! The guard is defending him as if he were a beaten brat, although, frankly, he should be hanged for such audacity. Fifteen lashes, can you imagine? -- he got so emotional that he slammed his fist against the bars, as if that could change anything. -- I was actually on my way to the Tournaments, but even if we're stuck here for a while, I won't hold back.
- Yes, that's exactly it, not a word of a lie. The current Calcite is a country of laws invented by a foreigner, and she and her cronies don't give a damn about honor and tradition. - Noddavariz shook his head in annoyance. - I was also planning to participate in the event, but now it seems it's not meant to be. Shinoy is ruled... or rather, "managed" by the treacherous Ginza, one of the rulers of the past era. Most of them either fell in battle or disappeared, but he preferred to lick the boots of the new queen, so I don't expect anything decent from him. And the beer, yes, work all day for one mug - that's nonsense.

"I see... they're waiting for the full list and the draw..." - thought Erika, after which she decided to go and see what the information broker's office was like.
In this building, you could buy information about the participants of the Tournaments from a suspicious-looking gentleman. One profile cost 50 rem.
– Ah, you mean that, – Camistella nodded. – We can arrange something like that. Ideally, we should talk to the archmage, as she is now cursed herself, but... for some reason, it has become very difficult to meet with Lady Rosalyn since that fateful day. Especially for me. My friend meets her easily. By the way... my friend is of the right age and, in theory, could be cursed. If you're interested, she was the one who reported you to the Guild of Wonders. Wait a minute... if she found you, she must have been nearby! Maybe her description will tell you something?
Camistella describes Erika's appearance in detail and notes a distinctive feature: a mushroom on her shoulder.

After observing the cheerful mayhem with broken heads and teeth flying in all directions, the patriot from Asuguh became a little more thoughtful, continuing the conversation in a secluded place: - Yes, I saw her, our character. She looks like an ordinary woman, about six hundred and sixty-six percent good, she could be a nanny in a kindergarten, but my gut tells me that something is not right. I didn't show it, but I felt as if she had turned my guts inside out and read them like a brochure. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I need to figure out how to act and when. I think it's either during the tournament or after, when everyone disperses to have a drink, there will be fewer people around, and the pharaohs will be busy maintaining order. As for "how" - what do the locals say about her, what are they afraid of? She's not the type to be feared for no reason.
- Well, I didn't understand everything, I don't know the language, but from what my new friend told me, the most common rumor is that those who tried to attack her or steal something from her house were never seen again, people disappear, and that's it. - Zenus smelled of beer. - We also need to wait for Jack, it will be more fun with four of us than with three.
– Ugh, what a disgrace. It’s better to hide in the basement, like my uncle did. And even better to fight for the old order and die heroically, like my father. – Ushumgallu said very quietly – partly because his ribs still hurt, but even more so because outsiders shouldn’t hear it. – And what next? Will they release him on bail, or with a guarantor? Otherwise, the prisons won’t be enough to hold everyone after each fight.
E si sui vius, er mi grans benananza, e si ieu muoir, er mi grans deliuriers
“Maybe we just haven’t had the luck to meet,” he shrugs. “Erica? So, that’s who I should thank… Yes, I met her this morning at the university. And that mushroom was quite amusing; I’d like to meet it again and chat, but under better circumstances. But I have no idea where she went afterward; perhaps it will be easier for you, as friends and guildmates, to meet up?”

"I don't know who my opponent is yet, and I don't have enough money to buy information on everyone... Besides, it's expensive..." "It's too early for me to go to the hospital. Especially a paid one... And I don't need a public bath yet either."
In the end, Erika decided to visit the workshop.

– I’ll ask her when we meet, – agreed Camistella. – Alright, I’ll try to find some useful information for us. And what will you be doing while wearing the darkest of pendants?
- So, we know just a little more than nothing. Well, let's improvise.

- We also need to wait for Jack; it will be more fun with four of us than with three.
- You know, once, we managed to pull off something very similar with him, back in the day. Nothing's lost, and now we have the whole gang, and we're experienced. We'll figure it out.
Genza tries to estimate how long it would take him to get from the reserve to the main group.
- In the meantime, I'll sign up to get noticed. When is the start, today or tomorrow?
– I'll ask her when we meet, – Camistella agreed. – Alright, I'll try to find some useful information for us. And what will you be doing, being the bearer of the darkest of pendants?
—Thank you, Camistella. —he nods gratefully. —I need to map all the locations with a high concentration of knightly aura. One of them might be his lair. In the capital, it's just a bedroom in my house. Why, I don't understand myself. As I said, the detector covers the entire city, so I'll have to travel the whole country in the next ten days. I hope I don't go crazy by then.
– Theoretically... we could try to find the exact location from which the cursed energy emanates in the house, but... – Camistella sighed, – judging by your story, it is most likely the point of death. After all, what happened to us... it's something more than just a fatal blow to the mortal body. I was cut in half at the moment of teleportation from the baths of the Guild of Wonders. The archmage also died there. Perhaps there is now a source of cursed energy in the baths as well. On the other hand, it may have already been cleansed by other mages. After all, it's a crowded place.
