In short, I just removed the superior gear from the merchant, and we'll do without swapping equipment for units — let them stick strictly to templates, no need to complicate what's already not moving fast.
— I suppose I'll take the merchandise #006, #005, #004, #003, #008 and #001, — the Tanarsian woman decided after a brief deliberation, having prepared the required sum of 45 gold coins in advance.
- Thank you for your cooperation! Accepting the gold coins, the merchant hastily departed.
Alaria harbored no illusions that at least part of the gold spent would not go toward promoting some cunning Sithian schemes. She also had no doubt that at least some of these masterpieces could have come from the hands of slaves whose minds were befuddled by false magical adoration for their pointy-eared oppressors. These were the facts of life one had to accept when dealing with the northern bloodsuckers.
But it would be strange for her to pretend that she had never before in her life enjoyed benefits that concealed the suffering and oppression of innocents. So it was in Tanarsis, where she happened to be both oppressor and oppressed. So it was in Reim, again not without her direct involvement, which turned Areid into its raw material appendage and even before that actively exploited the snake-men. So it was in Velfern, whose prosperity was built on a history of bloody conquests. So it was in Calcite, whose economy was built on the same slaves. And even now, in Tezoth, Catharsis had no certainty that the souls of the enemies she had vanquished were not heading straight into the feathered embrace of the Raven of Dawn. To some extent, it was all already taken for granted. The realities of the world that one had to accept.
However, today's transaction did have its own strategic subtext. Of course, she could have come up with some excuse and sent Malik packing, refusing the services of the foreign merchant. Strike a proud pose and give him a firm "no." An ordinary person, not vested with power, could probably even afford something like that. But now she was a private individual no less than she was a representative of Cortina. She held no particular love for the children of Elvielphiria and the order reigning in their lands, but antagonizing representatives of Sithia would be a foolish decision. A rash decision. They would hardly ever become friends to humans, but it was also not worth making them a direct enemy prematurely. Expressing a willingness to trade, while simultaneously lulling the Sithians' vigilance, seemed to her a more pragmatic solution. The main thing was to exercise reasonable caution herself.
In short, I just removed the superior gear from the merchant, and we'll do without swapping equipment for units — let them stick strictly to templates, no need to complicate something that's already not going fast.
And can the Knight at least convert one piece of gear into a consumable?
Hmm, how would Axel react if one of his sons brought home a figurine of a Sithian woman?
He would react badly. Better a daughter who is a pushover than a son who is a doormat. But that's his life, his path, and his mistakes. Nothing to be done about it.

— I'm very glad you're here, — Stefania concluded.
Before deciding whether to go to the next colleague, the girl said she needed to find out how the other knights were feeling.
— Are there any thoughts you'd like to share with me? Or maybe you'd be interested in finding out how the others are doing together with me?
- Thoughts... Stefania, what do you think — is the ambition and craving that lives in the human heart good or bad for individuals and society, or not really? In a sense, it's precisely because of this that we ended up here, but on the other hand, it seems this is exactly what lies at the foundation of everything we have now.
— Well... if you look at it from the perspective of those who could be harmed by others' ambitions, I suppose someone would say it's bad. For each individual, everything that forcibly drags them out of their comfort zone, deprives them of something, or makes them do what they categorically don't want to do is bad. If you look at the question more globally, essentially all progress stands on someone's ambitions and craving for something. Take, for example, Eidos the Iron. Without his ambitions and desire to unite Tezoth for its protection, everything would have turned out quite differently. Who knows, maybe without that, a fragmented Tezoth would have long ago been swallowed by the monsters of regret. Do we need that? Nope.
- Without ambition, we'd still be living in caves, and someone would have had to step out of their comfort zone to get out of those too! Although I'm not sure whether people ever lived in caves or settled straight into cities? I don't recall what Cortina's historians and Osha's theologians say about that. - But no matter how it was, progress is great, no, even wonderful! But craving and ambition need to be pure, not selfish. Imagine — not long ago I had a dream in which some influential man, because of his love for a woman, exposed thousands of people to great danger — that's exactly what must not be done! We need to think bigger! For Gildaria! For Lord Adalard! Long live His Radiance! The unexpected guest who unceremoniously barged into the conversation of the two girls was the Knight of Unwavering Courage, Dalias Galiot. As his title suggests, he was known for his bravery, but not his wits. - Hmm! I hope I haven't interrupted you two? Because after the young master, all sorts of thoughts creep into one's head at the sight of such a scene.
In short, I just removed the superior equipment from the merchant, and we'll do without swapping equipment for units — let them stick strictly to templates, no need to complicate something that's already slow going.
But can the Knight at least convert one piece of equipment into a consumable?
With Knights, you can do whatever you want if you have the means.
By the way, I understand correctly that if I attack with Sacred Flame + Sword Cannon, then with the new figurine the opponent will have to pass three consecutive checks to resist the burn?
Arandor, what do you think is better: 20 HP and spirit, 2 defense and spirit power, or +3 to initiative, accuracy, evasion, and crit?🤔 I think the second option is preferable...
