Therefore, after instructing the village sentries to keep watch on the other fronts, and leaving Julia, Vigg, and Mekri as backup, Helmut addressed the residents, telling them not to rejoice too soon and not to panic prematurely, and, taking Gale with him, set out to check the south.
Describes the appearance of these people, without mentioning that he is looking for them in connection with yesterday's events.

Where do we end up when we save the world?
Mirna stood on the threshold of a difficult choice. 1-on-1 battles could be useful if she wanted to earn money in the arena. The shield didn't suit her very well (and she wasn't sure about the armor either). Two swords could turn out to be either something quite serious, which would take her to a new level, or something relatively standard and, in addition, requiring her to relearn. Ranged combat was not considered. Unarmed combat – it was difficult to imagine what it was about; in her tribe, no one fought like that, except for drunken brawls. Martial arts were probably devoted to tactics, which, in Mirna's case, was unfortunately useless.
After thinking, the girl decided to go into the 1-on-1 battle hall.
Such an alert system certainly had its drawbacks and could react to both an animal and some harmless traveler, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The idea was that, if necessary, the patrol or a special operations group would signal without engaging in confrontation, and the village soldier garrison would immediately move out upon hearing the call. Helmut decided to distribute the squad's responsibilities so as not to send the whole bunch of guys back and forth, and so that in case of any nasty trickery from the supposed enemy, several fighters would remain in the village and could either put up resistance or pass the signal further along the chain.
Therefore, after instructing the village patrols to watch over the other fronts, and leaving Hulia, Vigg, and Mekri as backup, Helmut calmed the residents down, telling them not to rejoice too early and not to panic prematurely, and, taking Gale with him, went to check the south.
Behind it stood an unfamiliar man watching them. He wore leather armor, and behind his back was visible the hilt of a claymore and a quiver of arrows.
Ronard tried to assess his chances. He was a specialist, specially trained for infiltrating enemy lines and carrying out sabotage. But just as much, this fortress was designed to stop people like him. Assessing the appearance of the Blue Cloaks, he decided not to risk it and returned to the slums. In the slums, without attracting the attention of the guards and trying to stay out of their field of vision, he began questioning those around him about whether they knew the people who had been trying to be apprehended yesterday.

But one resident turned out to be more talkative. In exchange for information, he asked for 10 silver coins.
Ronard shows reasonable caution and skepticism, meaning he constantly checks for possible ambushes and tries not to agree to enter obvious dead ends where he could be easily surrounded.

I forgot about the duelist's restrictions on sabers and rapiers.
-Deal. But no tricks. I'll give you the coins when you lead me to them.
Ronard shows reasonable caution and skepticism; that is, he constantly checks for possible ambushes and tries not to agree to enter obvious dead ends where he can be easily surrounded.
If possible, I will check unarmed combat.
/ Forgot about the duelist's restrictions on sabers and rapiers. /
- Welcome," said a battle-hardened girl, greeting Mirna and offering her a seat, "my name is Minna Rihok, and now I am responsible for all matters related to our school of martial arts."
After this brief introduction, she told him a little about what their art was like and what the terms of admission were.

Helmut put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, signaling Viggo and Julia.
- Who are you? Why do you wander around at night? Identify yourself, citizen, are you local?
The stranger leads Ronard to one of the many houses in this district, and then goes inside. Judging by what Ronard could observe while standing outside, there were many people inside, despite the building's modest size. After a few minutes, the man returned with a young man.

"Welcome," said the battle-hardened girl, greeting Mirna and offering her a seat. "My name is Minna Rihok, and I am currently in charge of all matters concerning our school of martial arts."
Where do we end up when we save the world?
— Welcome, — the battle-hardened girl greeted Mirna and offered her a seat, — my name is Minna Rihok, and I am currently in charge of all matters concerning our school of martial arts.
After this brief introduction, she told Mirna a little about what their art entails and what the conditions for joining were.
— Thank you. I guess I need to earn money using my existing skills before I can learn something like this. But defeating an enemy without using cold weapons... I've never seen anything like that.
If no further information is provided, Mirna heads to the arena.
- Hey, what's wrong with you! Did you hit your head? - The sergeant signals to Gale, and they kite him, retreating closer to the village and towards the reinforcements of Hoolio and Vigg, but not so far that they can't react if he grabs his bow or changes plans.

Does Ronard recognize him as yesterday's guy?
Garley and his companions went to find out more about the mission regarding delivering carpets.
After a short greeting and retelling the same information that was indicated in the description of the task, the employer began explaining the details.
- His name is Aniy Exington; I don't know where to look for him in Pilas, so this will also be part of your mission.
The stranger leads Ronard to one of the many houses in this district, and then goes inside. Judging by what Ronard could observe while standing outside, there were many people inside, despite the modest size of the building. After a few minutes, the man returned with a young man.
-Fair work deserves fair pay. What's your name? Where can I find you if I need you again?
When (if) the man answers, Ronard says goodbye to him, sends him on his way, and starts a conversation with the young man:
-Let me tell you right away – I'm not from the guard, and I'm not serving the local authorities, aristocrats, or other powerful people. I only arrived here yesterday. And when I was returning to the shack I rented last night, I accidentally saw you and some people in armor. Then suddenly someone started shooting at them, and you ran away. Why did they want to take you away, and who helped you?
