-- It's a bit harder than I thought, -- Leroy muttered. -- Damn demonic magic. He surveyed the barn. Perhaps something would shed light on the reason for the demons' appearance. Besides, Leroy tried to sense if there were any more demons or negative entities nearby.
In the barn, Leroy saw only dead cows and the demons he had killed. No other demons or entities were sensed. - He won! Hooray! - a woman's voice of joy was heard.

For most of the journey to Tson-Donth Siseba, Emilia and Etal traveled by carriage. However, when they had only a couple of kilometers left, the couple decided to part ways with the driver, under the pretext that the sorceress was feeling nauseous and wanted to take a walk in the fresh air. In reality, they both couldn't wait to be alone in a secluded spot in the forest, where they decided to indulge in their emotions once again. Everything went wonderfully, although Emilia felt that they hadn't spent enough time on their entertainment. The walk to the city was quite pleasant. Usually, Emilia liked to introduce her companion to people as her servant, thereby emphasizing his status, but lately, she has enjoyed pretending to be newlyweds, just a young couple in love. These stories are much better than if he walked beside her in his true form and they openly showed what kind of relationship they have. Outsiders might have too many questions, and the answers are none of their business. So, finally, they approached the city. Etal decided to demonstratively put his right arm around his mistress's waist, so that all the men around could see whose woman she was. - Do you really need to flaunt the fact that we're together in such a vulgar way? - I think, after your wild screams in the forest, everyone in this city already knows that you're mine! - Don't exaggerate, you can't make me scream too loudly. - Then how do you explain why the ents around us ran away while we were busy? - Ents? What ents? - Exactly! After these words, Etal playfully pinched his companion on her right buttock and returned his hand to its previous position on her waist. In response to these actions, Emilia lightly bit her lower lip. Finally, they approached the city gates.
Added 10 minutes ago Nebok, will signing up my guy for the tournament prevent us from going to complete a quest for the demonologist? I could, of course, send my girl to work at the restaurant, but my heart tells me that it's not her thing.
Added 30 seconds ago I'll take a short break from work now and get to know your quents.
- Undoubtedly, - the necromancer nodded, showing no reaction to the nymph's provocation. Instead, she calmly continued the conversation, trying to recall if she had heard of such an entity before, - And weren't the recent attacks by ents also his doing? Because none of the locals believe that the forces of nature have turned against them. They blame it all on deranged mages. They don't know who they should really be afraid of. I'm making a Lore check on Shekor.
A young maid opened the door and asked why the girl had come.
— I'm here about the task; I can banish mental entities, but only through direct means – by destroying them. If a more delicate approach is required, unfortunately, my highly specialized skills won't be of much help.
- Hooray! - the girl exclaimed again and wanted to hug Leroy, but she quickly recoiled, still feeling the lingering heat on his armor and the smell of burnt flesh. - Ugh, you smell like a burnt corpse, sorry... - I'd burn that damned witch, - said the chubby guy, the one who didn't want to defend the mayor's barn. The girl hit him in the stomach. - And have you forgotten how Biarka cured you of the illness you caught in the city? - Yes, but... - She always helped everyone. It's not her who sends the demons, - said another guy. - Enough, - the elder commanded. - Let the people who are supposed to deal with these things do it. The Knight, as I understand, managed to defeat the demons with some difficulty. And he seems to be a man who knows his business, - the elder looked reproachfully at the girl. - And you wanted us to go there ourselves. Avina, our job is to till the land, not to fight. If you want to fight, go and sign up for the legion. There's no need for you to incite our guys to do all sorts of foolish things. The girl said nothing, but simply lowered her eyes in shame. - Come to my house, I'll pay you the reward you deserve, sir... I seem to have forgotten your name.
Nebok, will registering for a tournament with my guy prevent us from going to complete a quest for the demonologist?
Are you talking about this one?
Urgent! Experienced demon hunter or demonologist needed to deal with the trouble in Brook (a village near the city). Reward guaranteed! 6,000 sen!
Alex has already completed it.
After these words, Etal playfully pinched his companion on the right buttock and returned his hand to its previous position on her waist. In response to these actions, Emilia slightly bit her lower lip. Finally, they approached the city gates.
The couple was met by a couple of guards, who let them into the city without any problems. There, Emilia and her friend were politely asked to go through the registration procedure. - Name, patronymic, where are you from, nationality, what is the purpose of your arrival in our city, do you have any weapons, potions, fruits, vegetables? - asked the clerk. Meanwhile, the artist had already begun to draw Emilia and Etal. Hmm, I need to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier so that I can manage Neira, otherwise she will be out of the game.
- Certainly, - the necromancer nodded, not reacting to the provocation from the nymph. Instead, she calmly continued the conversation, trying to remember if she had ever heard of such an entity, - And what about the recent attacks by ents, are they also his doing? Because no one here believes that the forces of nature have turned against them. They blame it all on crazy mages. They don't know who they should really be afraid of.
- Ents? I don't know anything about ents. The nymph said quite sincerely.
I'm doing a knowledge check on Shekor.
Cenira barely remembers that this is one of the names of an evil forest creature from the pantheon of Shaon fairies.
- I'm here about the job; I can banish mental entities, but only in a direct way - by destroying them. If a more subtle approach is required, then, unfortunately, my highly specialized skills will not help you.
- Oh, good, go talk to the owner, he will definitely tell you what needs to be done. From the interior, it was clear that the owner of the house was not a poor man, but there was no excessive decoration there. Everything was quite simple and even modest. - Mr. Turon, this girl is here about your advertisement. - Thank you, Marie, you can go.
The man looked at Sayuri and said. - Hmm, as I see, your method of banishing is a little different from what we need.

The Necromancer paused, deep in thought. Although the nymph's appearance coincided with the increasing frequency of Ent sightings, which seemed highly suspicious, as if it were part of someone's plan, it didn't seem like the nymph was fully aware of it. Or perhaps she wasn't aware at all.
- Now, a more personal question, if you don't mind. I understand that your actions regarding that young couple were motivated by the fact that they trespassed on your territory. Is that correct? However, haven't such problems arisen before?

- Good day, gentlemen. My name is Emily, and this is my companion, Etal. We came from Elea and are traveling through the Seney Republic primarily for cultural and entertainment purposes. Your interesting city is no exception. The demon remained silent and observed the reaction of the guards to understand whether they knew who he was. He didn't really want to reveal himself.
— Sounds about right, — Sayuri shrugged, surveying the sparse interior of the house, — so what’s the problem, what’s the gist of it?
The man sighed heavily. - An orphanage. This creature appeared out of nowhere. It instilled its brethren into the children and settled in the house. The caretakers barely managed to escape. They had to fight off their own pupils. Poor children, as if there wasn’t enough hardship in their lives. Anyway, I needed a mentalist who could exorcise these creatures. And you’re not a mentalist. Although, I was thinking, if you kill the main creature, maybe the smaller ones will weaken and come out of the children? There’s just no time to wait. The children can’t withstand the presence of these entities inside them for long, as far as I know.
The necromancer pondered. Although the appearance of the nymph coincided with the increased appearances of ents, which looked extremely suspicious, as if it were part of someone’s plan, it didn’t seem like the latter was fully aware of it. If she was aware at all. - And now, a more personal question, if you don’t mind. I understand that your actions regarding that young couple were caused by the fact that they trespassed on your territory. Is that correct? However, weren’t there such problems before?
- I liked the boy, hee-hee. And she was so greedy, she didn’t want to share him... I used to live in a cage over there, - the nymph pointed to the estate near the lake.

- Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Emilia, and this is my companion, Etal. We came from Elea and are traveling through the Seney Republic primarily for cultural and entertainment purposes. Your interesting city is no exception. The demon remained silent and watched the guards’ reaction to see if they knew who he was. He didn’t really want to reveal himself.
- I see, - the scribe said. The demon just noticed how brazenly the artist was flirting with Emilia.
-- Leroy. After receiving the reward, he remembered the peasants’ conversation. -- Maybe you can tell me about the “witch”?
The elder waved his hand. - “Witch.” An ordinary alchemist. Well, maybe not ordinary, but... She lives alone, over there, - he pointed somewhere to the north. - I don’t know what this story is and whether she sent these demons... you know, - he switched to a whisper. - Mayor Tsondok Siseba has so many ill-wishers that I wouldn’t be surprised if he somehow offended Biarka. But she wouldn’t do something like that to us. So, I don’t even know what to think.

While the elf might have sympathized with the nymph regarding the situation with her captivity, the latter's behavior discouraged any such desire. The lake dweller was no better than her former captor. She belonged in the Society's laboratories. Nevertheless, Cenira didn't seek to be aggressive. Partly because the possibility of resolving the problem peacefully promised fewer risks and greater benefits. Partly because, even if she had to kill the nymph, it was worth extracting more money from the mayor first. For her silence.
- Aren't you afraid to live in a lake next to your former captor? Aren't you afraid of being caught again?
- I see, - the scribe drawled. The demon merely noticed how brazenly the artist was ogling Emilia.
Watching the artist stare at his mistress, Etal allowed himself to think about how Emilia would lead this brazen fellow to a hotel room and show him what pleasure means, in their opinion, while her obedient servant would observe the process. However, the sorceress's imagination was working in a similar direction, only implying the demon's participation. - Will we be able to see the final result when you finish our portraits? - Emilia smiled very politely.

- Oh, he'll be caught soon! She'll turn this bony worm's life into hell, - the nymph abruptly fell silent, realizing with her tiny brain that she had said too much. - Leave. You are no longer interesting to me.
