— So, recently, the Captain started assembling a new squad, — Wigg explained, emptying his glass, — we weren't the first, and we won't be the last.
— Yeah, — Mekriy agreed, — they pay peanuts, and the conditions are terrible, who in their right mind would agree to such a life?
— Well, you're wrong, brother. — Wigg put a friendly arm around the healer, which made the latter feel somewhat uncomfortable. — We're all just commoners in the same boat, whether you're a peasant or a soldier. Or maybe a dinghy?...
— That's right, — Gale nodded, — unless your father didn't spread his seed in some noble mare, you'll be floundering around like crap in an ice hole for the rest of your life.
— Come on, there are plenty of good things in life, why think about the bad? — Wigg pointed with his hand towards one of the waitresses. — Check out the melons on that chick. I'd love to squeeze them in my hands, mm.
— Yes, she's quite the peasant girl. But keep in mind, — your next stunt will land you straight on the gallows. Or whatever you guys use for executions here, biting off the… thing? And what will we do without you then?
The soldier finished his mug and reached for a new one.
— Nothing, guys. Your misery is about to end because I... — Helmut burped. — ...know exactly how we're going to work. You'll be rolling in dough. That bitch will jump into your arms, hoping to marry you; those bastards will kiss your boots, Mek; that hag will beg you to bite her… whatever she has; and you, kid, will write a book about dragons, or dictate it, or someone will write it for you, whatever, if you're not good with letters...
He proclaimed a second toast:
— To the squad, guys! We need a name, but I haven't come up with one yet. We'll buy a dog or a wolf, rent a cool Castle with Towers and catapults, yeah... — Helmut took a sip of his second mug and muttered angrily into the table. — And I... I'll get to those bastards... I'll flay them, sew boots from their skin...
My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.

— Many mistakenly imagine a moving snake skeleton, but that's far from the truth. It got its name from the sharp bony protrusions that grow along its body. And of course, it's much larger than a simple forest snake. I think it's about 10 meters long.
- Since it has bony protrusions, I don't think there should be any particular problems in choosing a weapon, - Garliy concluded. - What about the harpy? Based on the price, we can assume that it's less dangerous. But what if there's a whole flock? I just heard a story about two hunters who went to hunt these creatures, but there turned out to be far more of them than expected, and the poor guys lost their lives. I wouldn't want to end up like that.

/ Ah, but that's a different story! /
Lex decided to hold off on loans, guild membership, and other things until he had at least some of the required amount, and asked about guild quests.

What Abigail heard and saw was enough for her to doubt Cedric's story. Of course, the girl assumed that the aristocrat might have been imagining things, as people like him often do, but the story didn't become any better because of it. And the warrior had already firmly decided that she would not take on the job he was offering.
— Well, good luck with your search, Mr. Lai.

— Your noble and selfless intentions please me and warm my heart, Achelsius. We, servants of the church, always have work that needs to be done, and therefore we never have an excess of free hands. I really don't have enough time for everything, and now I need help in resolving the mundane conflicts of the city's inhabitants. Can I entrust this task to you?
—It would be a great honor for me, and I will gladly do my best to understand and resolve these conflicts in the most peaceful way possible.

Whatever

Helmut’s companions seemed noticeably invigorated by the sergeant’s toast, while only the healer shook his head skeptically. — Well, I’m a little glad, — admitted Huliy, finishing another glass, — I was thinking that some idiot would be assigned to command our squad, but you seem like a decent guy. — Heh, I second that, — agreed Vigg, — and as for the name, well, something like “Cat Slayers,” for example. — Dragon Slayers, — suggested Huliy, — let’s kill them before they kill us. — Forget about the name, guys, the main thing is the money. — Gale leaned back in his chair and looked around the room, then his eyes stopped on the owner of the establishment. — If some wild woman has settled here, why are we any worse? — Come on, don’t start, brother, — already slightly tipsy Vigg patted his comrade on the shoulder, — we were doing fine, let’s forget about the unpleasant things. Serge is right, we’ll soar high. And in general, forget about all this nonsense. There are five cities in Silvergard, and there are five of us, so each of us will rule one.
- Since it’s about bones, I don’t think there should be any particular problems in terms of selecting weapons, - concluded Garliy. - And what about the harpy? Based on the price, we can assume that it is less dangerous. But what if there is a flock? I just heard a story about two hunters who went hunting for these creatures, but there turned out to be more of them than expected, and the poor guys lost their heads. I wouldn’t want to end up like that.
— This happens all the time, and not only when hunting harpies. To my great regret, many hunters, especially beginners, often underestimate cheap prey and end up badly. In our case, I’ll say this: there should be only one harpy in this region now, but if it has already laid eggs and raised offspring, then there may be more. I understand that this information may be discouraging, but there is also something good in all of this: they will pay separately for each one.
Lex decided to wait with loans, guild membership, and other things until he had at least some of the required amount, and asked about guild quests.
— Baron Pilas, Girion Grimm, — began Gray, — is the only ruler in this region who refuses to cooperate with the guild. I sent many people to him before you, and I personally visited him, but we haven’t been able to achieve anything. Now I offer this job to you. If you succeed, you will do something useful for the guild and receive a reward for your efforts in the form of two hundred silver coins, and if not, well, it’s not a big deal, you won’t cause any harm to the organization.
- Well, good luck with your search, Mr. Lai.
— Thank you, and be sure, I will find a worthy and competent person for this noble cause. — Meanwhile, the order for Abigail was brought to the table where the two were talking. — Maybe we should forget about this slop? Let’s go to my place, I can offer a much better meal, and I think you would like the wonderful Astkirch more than the dirty streets of the lower city.

If not, well, no harm done; you won’t cause any damage to the organization.
— Girion Grimm… — Lex tried to remember something about this man, if he had even heard of him.
— Alright. I’d just like to know what exactly was offered to him, and how he explained his refusal.

- That's right! - Helmut slammed his glass on the table. - Positive thinking... that's the most important thing in the army. A soldier, even if he's the most important and entitled person in the kingdom, is still a person who is somewhat enslaved. Therefore, a strong and intelligent person looks to the future, achieves wealth, rank, and leaves many children in the world, haha! It's definitely better to be a warrior than a peasant, I can tell you that for sure. He might risk his neck from time to time and answer to the captain, but what about an ordinary person? He pays his dues to the lord, scrapes the last thread from his clothes, and toils for ten children. And that's how he dies with a shovel in his hands. And if it's wartime, he grovels before the soldiers, understanding that he's not in the same league.
- What do you think, did she settle here, did she graduate from the academy? - Sergeant Gail nodded towards the woman. - She has dozens, even hundreds of scalps in her chest. She clawed her way to success with these sharp claws, with these honed triangular teeth, tearing it from the throats of the damned enemies.
He turned the third mug in his hand, swirled the drink, and took a sip.
- And it's not bad. It tastes like urine, but it's strong, damn it, I haven't seen anything like it in years...
- I'll tell you one thing, guys, - Helmut said wearily and calmly. - Don't get too cocky, but don't lose your heads either. We're too vulnerable to sin, too easily we can lose our minds and turn into complete scoundrels. Always, ALWAYS remember that there is a line, beyond which you are no longer a soldier, no longer a man, and not even a human, but just a sick animal, a rabid dog. And rabid dogs are put down. With a sword, or even an axe and a club.
He raised his final glass.
- I don't want you to stumble at the beginning of your journey, guys. I've already lost too many comrades for various reasons... - nodding to himself, he raised a toast. - Come on, guys, one drink for the past, whatever it may be, and the rest - for the future. And we'll quietly get going, tomorrow we start preparing for the operation. And next time, we'll celebrate our success in a more serious way. Cheers!
Helmut and his comrades drank their third round, after which it was time to return to the fort.
My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.

Mirina was very pleased with Ahelsiy's response but did not waste time on pleasantries and hastened to explain the essence of his new duties as soon as possible, and then return to her own affairs.
In its core, his task was simple, but it involved great responsibility: Ahelsiy had to resolve conflicts among the inhabitants of Silvergard and give advice to those seeking enlightenment. He appointed a young Knight named Delos and Carmen from the Voland family as his assistants; both were residents of Astkirhen and devoted followers of the Mentor's ideas.

Delos
Good Manners, Astoria, Ikigaiism.
6-4-5-5-5(9)-5
Knight II, Leather Armor 0, Flamberge 0, Teardrop Shield I.
Red Dragon Armor
Protection: 35
Durability: 1000
Fire damage reduced by 80%
Flamberge (exceptional)
Damage: 40-60
+4 to Willpower
Strength: 6
Red Dragon Shield
Can block spells
Durability: 600
Strength: 6


Carmen
Good Manners, Astoria, Ikigaiism.
2-3-4-9-7-9
Priest II, Healer I

In matters of faith, Carmen was directly taught by Mirina, so she was aware of all the features of Ahelsiy's current work. And although she herself was not yet ready to take on such responsibility, she could help him with advice. Delos, in turn, had to maintain order and ensure that the decisions made by Ahelsiy were carried out.

Finally, the waitress brought the ordered food, and the aristocrat got down to business, trying to entice her. However, his promises of an exceptional dinner and a walk around Astkirch didn't sound very appealing. Of course, having friends in high society would definitely be beneficial, but every second spent in the company of such a "friend" outweighed any potential benefits for her.
— Thank you for the generous offer, but I must decline.

Finally, the Mentor rewarded him for his diligence and effort and granted him a new opportunity to prove himself! Achelsius never doubted that he had chosen the right path in life, and therefore his appointment to such a responsible and important position for him was not a big surprise; however, even this young priest felt a slight anxiety. In his mind, fleeting images from his past, long-forgotten life flashed: the faces of old friends and adoptive relatives. This was an unpleasant memory: although these people were sinners and criminals, he himself also took on some responsibility for their sins over the years. After all, he lived among them, and the Mentor seemed to have chosen his first test for him then - the task of saving the people closest to him. A sacred mission that he failed miserably. He did not pull them out of the darkness of the hopeless abyss, did not make them listen to him, did not insist on the right views, did not change their simple worldview.
But now he will not have another chance to fail. And let the experience of past defeats give him new spiritual strength, and the precepts of the Enlightened help him this time to resolve problems without bloodshed. That is what Achelsius firmly decided for himself.
“It will be a great joy for me to be with you in our small squad,” the priest said to his new assistants after the traditional greetings. “I am sure that together we can make this world a little brighter. And in a difficult hour, I will be able to count on your good advice, Carmen, and during difficult trials, on your sword and shield, Delos. And I, in turn, will do everything possible to present the essence of the Mentor’s teachings in the right light to all those who suffer and are lost in the darkness.”

Whatever
