- Of course, milord! Sorry for the disturbance!
Ronard waits for the guards to leave and looks for any possible witnesses to the incident.
- We are simply looking for deposits of useful minerals, and at the same time we are conducting reconnaissance in search of dangerous places where various creatures live that threaten local residents.

He checked the map.
- Let's check on those lumberjacks; it's not far from here.
+24 hours.
The group reaches its destination. Before their eyes is a burned-out camp and the bodies of lumberjacks. Apparently, they were killed several weeks ago.

After that, he and his assistants return to the shop.
“As promised, here you go. You certainly have an interesting writing style; it’s truly captivating! It’s clear you’re a talented writer. However, regarding the informative aspect… it would be good to make a few adjustments. To ensure the moral message is clear to readers. For example, one sister achieved great heights through hard work and honest labor, while the other, on the contrary, tried to live a sweet life through vice, debauchery, and other sins, and paid the price for it. And perhaps fewer details of a scandalous nature, as it’s a bit much, and what if it falls into the hands of children? As for the miraculous recipe, it would be good to remove it from the book, or at least rename it, so that the name of the sinful and fugitive criminal is not mentioned in the world, and even in a positive sense.”
— We'd like to invite some people to Silvergard to celebrate at our fort. It's located to the east of here, not far at all. Would you like to join us?
-- Well, if it won't slow us down too much, I'm in... -- Lex said. -- Actually, I was writing a book on the road, so maybe this meeting will be a good thing. I can find out what's happening in the east and how your non-humans are doing. Of course, if you don't mind telling me about it, and about your exploits.
-- But we won't return to Silvergard with you right now, if you don't mind. Just from there.
“Oh dear, oh dear,” sighed Achelsius, finishing reading the book. “There really are all sorts of people.”
After that, he and his assistants return to the shop.
“Please, as promised. You certainly have an interesting style; it’s truly captivating! It's clear you're a talented writer. But regarding its informative value... it could use some editing. So that the instructive message is clear to readers. Namely, one sister achieved great heights through hard work and honest labor, while the other, on the contrary, sought a sweet life through vice, debauchery, and other sins, for which she paid the price. And fewer details about depravity, because frankly, it's too much, and what if it falls into children's hands? As for the miraculous recipe, it would be good to remove it from the book or at least rename it so that the name of the sinful woman and fugitive criminal is not mentioned in the world anymore, especially in a positive sense.
-- Come on, Lex? -- asked the girl. -- We've been walking for a long time; we wanted to take a break.
-- Well, if it won't slow us down too much, maybe... -- said Lex. -- You know, I was actually writing a book on the road, so this meeting might be for the best. I can find out what's happening in the east and how your non-humans are doing over there. If, of course, you wouldn't mind telling me about it and about your exploits.
-- But we won't return to Silvergard with you right now, if you don't mind. Just from here.
Lanfrid agreed to escort the new acquaintances to the fort, and Gangbert, as planned, went to Silvergard. Lex and Mirna rested in modest apartments that the order provided them, and the next day, the celebration began. It soon became clear that their chance encounter with two knights was fortunate because just anyone wasn’t invited to the fort, and the two knights, who were euphoric, weren't thinking too clearly about their actions. In addition to free access to luxurious food and drinks, Lex and Mirna also had the opportunity to meet many important people.
The founder, sponsor, and grandmaster of the order was Zaferro, the younger brother of King Austrius Emufrep "the Amorous."
Isingrim served as an advisor and bodyguard to Zaferro; he was considered one of the most talented warriors in the kingdom.
Meteo Agelai, Count of Silvergard, seemed to have come here not so much for news about the order's successful raid to the east but rather to pay his respects to the royal personage. The same could be said of his wife, Milandra, and son, Errin.
Norax Tonn was the captain of the "Blue Cloaks" and was responsible for the security of the count's family.
Baron Midas Ash Trumbell and his champion, Velgor.
Baron Auera, Aras Iolai, and his champion, Chandra.
Erik Grimm, representative and champion of Pilas, son of a baron.
Ignis Ayurah, Baroness Liskiva, and her champions—the Golden Knight of Liskiva and the Silver Knight of Liskiva. According to tradition, one domain can have only one bearer of this honorary title, but Ignis broke that rule. Rumor has it that the baroness not only personally trained future knights but also forbade them from using their personal names, reserving this privilege for herself.
Where are we going next?
(and Gale) inspected the camp, the bodies, and the surrounding area in search of clues or other signs that could provide information.
“They’re doing a good job covering their tracks,” commented Gale after searching the camp and its surroundings, “I found nothing.”
The squad moved north, hoping to find new clues.
