– My condition is so bad that I'm not sure I can take the medicine without any problems... – Ottar confessed. – Never mind. What's the news?
Was the Academy so impressed by his deeds that they will pay him the promised five silver coins? Or has the creature's relative already arrived to take revenge?
– My condition is so bad that I'm not sure I can take the medicine without any problems... – Ottar admitted. – Oh well. What's the news?

-- Pull yourself together, you wimp, -- Gas hands him a mug of beer. -- Here, this will help.

– Yes, today I need to sign up with the constable. He, or rather one of his men, should be at the arena right now.
– In that case, I should remember to… – stretching from the effects of the ale and shivering from the chill of the open door, he finishes his drink and prepares to head to the arena. Author
– What do you know about the West? Where does the sea end and something else begin? – The lady sits down next to the interrogated man. – It seems to me that you have experience in wandering. Or am I wrong?
Is the interrogated man me? – The West…? – He looks at his new companion, feeling a pleasant chill. – I have not been beyond the borders of my western homeland. What could be beyond the sea? Only the sea, endless and boundless. Its waters are calm and invisible to storms, devoid of underwater rocks and living creatures, containing only the reflection of a starless void. Having lost all count of days, direction, and wind, you will wander endlessly, and your ship will become your eternal tomb. After a moment of thought, he adds: – At least, that's what I was told as a child. In reality, I can't imagine what's there.
—The West…? —he looks at his new companion, feeling a pleasant chill of nothingness. —I have not been beyond the borders of my western homeland. What could be beyond the sea? Only the sea, endless and boundless. Its waters are calm and invisible to storms, devoid of underwater rocks and living creatures, containing only the reflection of a starless void. Having lost all count of days, direction, and wind, you will wander, and your ship will become your eternal grave. After a moment of thought, he adds: —In any case, that is what I was told in childhood. In reality, I cannot imagine what is there.
- The West, - Lady nods. - They say that something exists there, even if the hope for it is futile. Personally, I think that at some point the sea water falls down onto the back of a turtle. But I have no tools to check this. However, the opinion of a westerner carries weight. If all that awaits us is emptiness, I am personally ready to accept it. What do you say? - the gaze shifts towards the scientist-spider. - Is there anything in the West worthy of "conquest"?
The spider-woman, interrupted from her search for the artist, took a closer look at the new subject, who seemed to be clinging to her hand with her words. - I thought I had a monopoly on this hair color in this city, but it seems that assumption was wrong! - Due to the influence of Gnosis, she had already forgotten that she had seen this person yesterday. - I wasn't there. But even if nothing noteworthy is found, that in itself is also Knowledge, and acquiring it will increase the overall understanding of the world!
The lady looks at the stranger's hair, not sensing any familiar energy from it, even though there is some other kind of energy present.
- Knowledge... Acquisition... Surely there must be someone who can pass it on, right? Otherwise, this research is worthless, - she says, tilting her head in a certain way, as if pondering something. - That makes sense. I will keep that in mind, - she glances at the other vagrants, finding them unworthy of initiating a dialogue, then turns her attention back to the man drinking beer and the woman hurrying away. - It seems I have distracted you from something. But you seemed to be the most knowledgeable about this matter, and besides, I already know you. I won't bother you any further, - she rises from her seat, leaving a trail of frost on the chair. - One day, we will record the emptiness of the West in a scientific book. Have you seen Amadeo? No?... I'll have to find him myself, - with a dismissive farewell, she does so.
- If anything happens to you, I will do everything I can to preserve your brain, keep it intact, and safely deliver it back to this city, so that the experience you've gained won't be forgotten! - Zuricha whispered to her companion before going about her business.
After that, stepping outside, she wondered what would happen if she licked a frozen pole or wall, but she didn't dare conduct this experiment right now.
- Excuse me! - She addresses a random passerby. - Could you spare 15 seconds of your time?
—In that case, we shouldn't forget... —stretching from the intoxication and shivering from the coolness of the open door, he empties the container and prepares to head to the arena.
I'm going to sign up too, just in case there's a time limit. I just need to clarify the details.

The random passerby turns out to be a worker hurrying to relax with a beer during his break. -- Of course, your grace...

Instead of a constable, a simple bureaucrat is found on the spot, shivering in the open air. -- Greetings. Name and the competitions you are participating in.

A question buried in an old thread - how do you read books? By investing hours with a limit, like training, or can you just do it right away?
You need hours. Your book takes 5 hours.
