Liu Ping
Speaker with the Dead

I deliver messages to the other side and sometimes receive answers from there.
I try to take care of those who are no longer with us and help people cope with their loss.
Success depends on your good intentions and who the deceased person was (as I cannot communicate with them against their will).
I fight against mental entities (but I do not possess the power of exorcism).
I help with conducting burials and reburials.
When providing services, cooperation with priests and clergy is possible (I can conduct a posthumous confession if a person died suddenly, etc.).
Payment – whatever you can afford.
Elderly people are served out of turn.

Every day from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, you can find me near the "Clean Hands" office. At other times, I may be at the cemetery or at the "Wild Bull."

After a day of adventures and a long journey, Felian felt somewhat exhausted, but he tried not to lose his vigilance until the cart finally reached its destination.
—What are you planning to do now that the goods have been delivered? —he asked the goblin. —Perhaps we should also warn the city authorities and the legionnaires about what happened? And I would also like to know about the payment. We didn't achieve our goal, but we certainly put in a good day's work.

When the fairy addressed the goblin, the latter didn't even glance at him. It seemed he was deeply saddened by the death of his partner.

- Yes, of course, the payment, - Evrat approached one of the wagons, pulled a bag out of nowhere, and counted out 1,200 and 2,400 axots for Felian, Shoda, and Tarlion, respectively. - If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made it through the road either.
- I will inform the authorities and the legionnaires about what happened. I offer my condolences for your loss, - Shoda said to the goblin, said goodbye, and hurried away.

The man, subservient to the evil sorceress, did everything as she commanded and met her at the designated location.

- Hello, mistress. You seem troubled. Is there anything I can do to help?

Liu Ping intends to submit a request, wait until 11:00, and then head to the city guard fort, unless other matters intervene.

After a day of adventures and a long journey, Felian felt somewhat exhausted, but he tried to remain vigilant until the cart finally reached its destination.
—What are you planning to do now that the goods have been delivered? —he asked the goblin. —Perhaps we should also warn the city authorities and the legionnaires about what happened? And I'd like to know about the payment. We didn't achieve our goal, but we certainly put in a good day's work.

—I’m very sorry too. —Felian tried to say this as sincerely as possible.
Over the years of service in the Legion of Death, the people around him affected him less and less, and even his own grief no longer played any role. Once, he would have been ashamed to ask for money from a merchant who was grieving. He had to admit that both people and fairies sometimes change, and not always for the better.
After saying goodbye to the other mercenaries, Felian made a mental note to exchange the gold he had found from the elves and, early in the morning, visit Clean Hands in search of a new assignment. The failure of today’s mission left behind an unpleasant feeling that even the recent meeting with the Lafirs could not overshadow.
With these thoughts, the fairy headed “home.”

- Hi! - Bridget said happily when Felian flew into her window again. But as soon as she saw the bloodstained shirt and the holes in the fairy's armor, her joy quickly turned to fear. - In the name of magic?! What is this? Were you shot? What happened?(( Let me help you take everything off and I'll treat the wounds!

— Well, I was assigned to collect the roots of Neortar, — the girl said sadly, then unfolded and showed the leaflet with a picture that Kristoll had given her. — And they even gave me a picture. But I'm so afraid to work in the forest alone, what if someone offends me...
As she said the last part, Maylin paused and looked around to see if anyone else was nearby.
— And I'm so worried about my hands, I just got a manicure... — added the Collapsist, showing off her well-groomed fingers. — I can't even imagine how much dirt I'll have to scrape out from under my nails...
The girl paused again and sadly looked at her beautiful hands.
— But don't worry! I'll manage somehow... But in any case, thank you for your concern!
While the man was listening to these words, Maylin sent him the idea that he sincerely wants to help in this endeavor. And he will collect the required number of roots that Kristoll requested, without involving the fragile Collapsist, whose task is simply to be nearby and please the eye of the not-so-young man.
— And this won't be too much trouble for you, noble sir? — Maylin clarified when the stranger offered to help. Although she already knew the real answer...
And when the man agrees, he will decide not only to introduce himself to the Collapsist but also to tell her a little about himself, starting with how his day began and what he was doing in the Clean Hands in the morning, which is why he looked so worried.

Nebok, it's okay that I immediately predicted the subordinate's answer and continued a little more. His answer is already more than obvious. And yes, while he's collecting everything necessary and talking about himself, let him not forget to mention all the items in his pockets.

technically... well, you know, and extra money never hurts

—Hello. Oh, this... —Felian remembered his blunder again, but tried to maintain a calm, carefree demeanor. —Nothing serious, just a work-related issue. We encountered some Lafirs outside the city. —At first, he didn't want to go into details, but then he decided that for Bridget's safety, it would be better to warn her as well. —In short, it's best not to leave Axoth unnecessarily right now.
After a moment of hesitation, he agreed to accept the student's help. —If it really won't be a burden for you. I would be grateful.

Having fulfilled the sorceress's order and started collecting roots, while the girl herself enjoyed a good day, the man told about himself.

- The day started as usual, I was standing near the signpost to the east and waiting for the structuralist! But what's the point if there's no one with me! I need another person to wait with, so that the structuralist finally appears. I was looking for someone in Pure Hands. But no one wants to wait with me. And I really need to! I really need to! Here, I'm ready to give away all 200 axots that I have. And also, I have this beautiful card, but I won't give it away until the structuralist arrives!



From the man's speech, it was not difficult to understand that he had problems with his head. He would have continued to talk, but something strange began to happen. Maylin sees the man's movements slowing down, the same thing happens to his voice. Soon he completely freezes. As does everything around. The grass, the clouds in the sky, the wind, the chirping of birds, and the rustling of leaves. Nothing moves, and no sounds are heard. The girl notices a path leading deep into the forest. She really wants to go down it. She is unable to resist.
