Tox, where are you? Revan has already updated everything:smile13: And where are Veg and Imaris?
Ты страшился тысячи вещей... Но все это были лишь маски, лишь видимости. На самом деле страшило тебя только одно решиться сделать шаг в неизвестное, маленький шаг через все существующие предосторожности. И кто хоть один раз оказывал великое доверие, полагался на судьбу, тот обретал свободу.

- Hmm... To be honest, I feel much better now, but I'm still not in my best shape. - Bai Feng said regretfully.

- Do I have any choice? - the tavern owner replied with annoyance, - in that case, wait while I return the money and report the reason.
No, not now, sir,” A’aren stopped the tavern keeper, “you understand that until the trial is over, this action is meaningless. We cannot simply obstruct the transfer without substantial evidence of the scoundrel’s guilt. So, let’s wait until the proceedings are over.
Imaris is waiting for Vegtham, and Vegtham might be waiting for Imaris. :) But he showed up today; I thought he would write in the expansion forum, but he didn't.
Nokou left the building with a rather unpleasant feeling. Somewhere in the city, probably in a hotel, that scoundrel, the fire mage, is still sitting, pleased with his performance and unpunished. This thought made the lizard delve into memories.
The teacher teaches him a new trick in lightning magic.
"Nokou, calm down. You have absolutely no control over your lightning. Did you cast water spells the same way?"
"To be honest, I was never a skilled water mage."
"And I know why. You simply don't know how to control yourself. People like you become very powerful fire mages. But you cast water spells, and now you are learning lightning. You must understand that lightning is very similar to water. Yes, it is more destructive and faster, but it is fluid. You must calm down and control its flow. Instead, you just scatter sparks around you."
"Yes, teacher, I'm doing everything I can. But it's difficult for me." And indeed, if you were a fire mage, I might have already achieved something."
The dark elf sighed.
"I wouldn't advise it, I really wouldn't advise it."
At that time, Nokou didn't understand what was meant by the last phrase. But a few days later, during their training, they were attacked by a herd of woolly rhinoceroses. It should be said that all lizards, upon reaching maturity, must undergo trials, including defeating one of these beasts, which are abundant in the northern swamps. But when they gather in large groups in the spring, they represent an almost insurmountable force, and there is nothing worse than accidentally encountering them. Nokou tried to defend himself with lightning magic, but they were too strong, and soon he felt himself lying on the ground, blood flowing from his head from a severe blow. To his surprise, he still woke up after a while... Alive. His surprise only increased when he saw the almost invisible teacher and the corpses of the rhinoceroses. Charred corpses...
"But... How?"
"I didn't keep my promise. I'm afraid we'll have to part soon. You already have enough command of lightning magic. But first, I'll tell you something."
And he told Nokou his whole story. About how he was a great fire mage, traveled through different countries and cities, and lived off the money from won combat competitions. If there were no competitions in the city, he organized them himself and was the only one who won. Because he never lost: his rage turned him into an incredible fire mage. Having amassed a fortune, he decided to marry a woman he was very fond of. But the impulsiveness that helped him in battle played a cruel joke on him in family life. He didn't tell the details, but it seems something irreparable happened there. The dark elf vowed never to use fire magic again and devoted himself to studying other elements, as well as working on himself, choosing the most remote corner of the world for this, as far as he could reach.
The teacher told Nokou to show his fellow tribesmen what he had learned, so that his lightning magic would serve the common good. And the reaction of the tribe was... Not quite what Nokou expected, but it was exactly what the elf wanted.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to leave your tribe, and me either. But if you still want to learn something, you must go where I will direct you. I am no longer your teacher, but your training is just beginning. Remember my advice. And beware of fire mages, not because of the power of their element, but because of the chaos it creates in their soul. And if you ever want to learn it yourself, be extremely careful. And now, goodbye, otherwise I will soon have an unpleasant meeting with your relatives, and you should not see them anymore."
Nokou came out of his dream and just heard about Maya's intentions.
"Wow, you're a real find! If you can really find the culprit, then all is not lost!" he exclaimed.
- Well... I think you'll have time to heal me again before I die. Shall we go? - the celestial being nodded towards the door.

- I don't quite understand you, sir. You can't obstruct the transfer because you don't have sufficient evidence, but you're still detaining me?
... - Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly enough. We cannot obstruct the transfer, as it would appear to Monsieur Tangeiser as a personal matter, until the criminal is imprisoned. Then our intentions will be more substantial, and he will accept the refusal. However, from a legal standpoint, we are obligated to investigate this matter now, which is why I am interrupting the transfer until the circumstances are clarified. If this issue is resolved, I request that we proceed to your establishment and carry out the arrest according to the proposed plan.
Yes, will we ever manage to navigate this labyrinth?
