The stranger was dressed very modestly, and therefore the scabbard on his belt stood out sharply. It was black and red with gold stripes, and judging by the material it was made of and the quality of workmanship, it was very expensive. The weapon itself, as Ahelsiy could guess, was a curved one-and-a-half sword – not something you see often in the Kingdoms.

Burn them! Burn them all!

Having agreed not to die in the battle with the manticore, the group moved on.

Achelsius did not plan to bind himself to any company, but out of politeness he agreed to the stranger's offer. Unfortunately, he was not very knowledgeable about weapons, and he also thought it was impolite to ask questions, although he noted the striking difference between the latter and the stranger's overall appearance.
—It is truly very beautiful and peaceful here, he remarked aloud. —It is a pity that many ordinary people are deprived of any opportunity to visit such places. Perhaps this would help them get used to cultural recreation and improve their mental well-being.

— But wouldn't you agree that the beauty and calming effect of these gardens are precisely due to the fact that there are so few other people here? As soon as these ordinary people cross the threshold of Astkirhen, it immediately becomes noisy and dirty. And the people themselves, burdened with worries and anxieties, are unlikely to truly appreciate the beauty of such a place and its significance for their peace of mind. — The stranger looked intently into his companion's eyes, and then directed his gaze into the distance. — My name is Malgorus. May I know yours?

— Ahelsiy... — Malgoroth said the name aloud and paused for a long time. —Tell me about your attitude towards life. What makes you get up in the morning, what do you live for, what makes you happy, and what makes you sad?

— I don't see it that way, — Eric disagreed. — We don't live in the world we were given, but in the one we built with our own hands. It is the result of all the decisions made by everyone who lives in it. In the end, even tyranny and slavery are only possible with the consent of those who are most oppressed. And I think that the sooner people realize this, the better. Unfortunately, I doubt that even thousands of years of development will lead people to realize this.

J13, +9
Having left the manticore's lair behind, the mercenaries moved on and soon came across another cave.

Revan, there seems to be something wrong with your signature.

I thought I was moving on G13 with the next action, but okay.

What do you mean?

—Are you really interested in this? - the priest said with some surprise. —Well then, I'm at your service. I always wanted to help people throughout my life, and that’s how I came to follow the Teachings of the Mentor. I am happy to see how people change and transform for the better thanks to the precepts of the Enlightened, how their souls are cleansed of sins, and their hearts filled with kindness and harmony. For me, as a humble servant, there is no greater happiness than being able to help those who suffer embrace these positive ideals, support them with advice in difficult times, preventing them from straying off course and getting lost in the darkness.
Achelsius paused briefly and sighed heavily.
—Of course, it can be not easy for many to come to terms with such changes in their lives, to quickly accept and realize the multitude of small commandments and rules that must be followed. People by nature are impatient and do not like change. But inner peace does not come instantly, and trying to resist our help, many often begin, as if deliberately opposing us, to defile their souls with sin. I understand that sometimes we lack gentleness, but one cannot attract attention only with it, no matter how much positive things you highlight. And so... precedents happen. And while those simply lost in the darkness evoke only sympathy in me, those who stubbornly and purposefully drive themselves and their loved ones into the abyss of sin and vice greatly upset and sadden me.
He was silent for a moment.
—But every day I try to wake up with hope that my life is not in vain, because by dedicating it to helping others, I gradually fill this world with happiness and kindness, which means it will not be lived in vain, serving the ideals of spiritual purity and harmony. But every life is valuable, and every soul given by the Mentor is important to us, so we rarely think about such things, honestly.

Mekriy four down; Gale straight and attack; Helmut straight.

—Then let's start by becoming better — starting with ourselves,” the merchant noted. “A modest contribution, but perhaps the Universe will feel it! I would suggest we drink to that. So that people more often make correct and fair decisions — not only for those around them, but also for themselves. That they value each other’s work, as well as the work of those warriors who fought in the recent battle. Any labor is valuable — if it has the right direction, if it is for something good! Especially if you sacrifice everything for it.
Lex raised his glass and, looking at the soldiers, tried to take a sip along with them.
Myrna was not shy and drank without hesitation.

As before, before entering the cave with the whole squad, it was decided to send Hios on reconnaissance.

It seems there are attractive parts of the female body there.

Was this ever a problem?
