The situation Axot found herself in evoked mixed emotions in the dwarven woman. On the one hand, the dire state of the city and the roaming Lahir meant she wouldn't be lacking work. If she was lucky, the local authorities wouldn't skimp on the reward. On the other hand, recent events had taken a toll on the lives of the Axotians, which made it difficult for her to wholeheartedly rejoice at the opportunity to earn some money. Many of them were almost certainly in a similar situation to the one she had found herself in a few years ago. And some were certainly even younger.
Initially, the mercenary planned to head straight to "Clean Hands" in search of work. But, unintentionally lost in gloomy thoughts, she decided to first visit the Temple of the Primeval Stone to clear her head and direct her thoughts in the right direction.

- Chotto matte, komusume," the card collector stopped the girl with a gesture of his hand, "don't rush. First, I would like to know what you know about it.

- Decimus! What... Who is this?! - Quint hissed at his son.
- It's not my fault! She came herself! - Decimus replied in a whisper, holding the limp body of the girl in his hands.
- What am I going to do with her now? What did you already tell her?
- That we are from the legion...
- I'm going to kill her now!
- Don't get upset, father...

Not getting upset - the boy is right about that. Quint took a deep breath and looked around, checking to see if anyone could have seen them.

- You're so weird. What are you doing in my house, by the way? First, there were some people in lion costumes, now this guy with a bell. Where's my computer? Where's my pizza and soda? Where's my mom?

Maylin was allowed to change clothes. In the library, the girl quickly found the book the alchemist needed. As well as a book on mentalism.

"Fundamentals of Mentalism," Allen Unin

During her search, she also came across other books.

"The Birds of Senia," Ancelin Ibot
"Creatures and Monsters," Oba Kraegwix
"Carnivorous Plants," Ezekiel Gegdonat
"Cults and Beliefs of the World," Linnet Tolraf
"Zoological Studies," Zotud Fanphon
"Religious Structures of Senia," Kodrins Keakfan

The book she took for Cristall can also be read.

How long does the powder last?

(otherwise, those cat stockings have been needing a wash for a while, and it's time to check if they're torn!)

—Not at all. —Fey sighed with relief. —My name is Felian, nice to meet you. —He introduced himself. —I came to the farmer on the same errand, and he told me about you. I think we'll have a better chance of success together. So, when a convenient moment comes, we could discuss the time and other details of the task.

The guy almost started crying, but he held himself back.
"Oh, poor guy, he's so sad..."
Instead, the Djuan approached the guy and put his hands on his shoulders.
-- DAVID, YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE.
-- Uh, yeah, that's intense, but... None of these guys are wearing costumes. Apparently, there aren't any Djuan, that is, half-human, half-cat people in your world. But folklore from different worlds often overlaps, haven't you ever heard of such races? About magic and sorcery? About... About... Never mind. Sweet, naive soul, come with me and I'll show you all of this. And you can tell me about "lijka" and "compik" – I'd love to hear your stories about objects from your world. Or is compik an animal?

Hey, what's up? Why are you washing it? Give it to some nice person for money.

Having collected all the selected books, Maylin headed straight to Cristol.
Along the way, the girl quickly skimmed through the pages of the book she had taken for her employer, as it was unknown how long she would stay with him and when the collector would be able to take on another task.
If no one interrupts the reading Maylin on the way, and no one engages her in conversation, she enters the laboratory and says:
— Cristol, I brought you the book you needed, — smiling, she hands over
the volume "Features and Forms of Mating Behavior of Intelligent Animals" to Maylin's employer. — Are there any other tasks, or can I read?
If something happened on the way to Cristol, you can consider this dialogue as a piece from the future. If everything is okay and there are no tasks, I will sit down to read "Fundamentals of Mentalism."

- Oh, I see... And how much are you willing to pay for it?

- Listen, you're acting suspicious. Let me call the cops, and they can deal with you.

The guy starts pointing his finger at the glowing rectangle.

Dzuanets sighed sadly and stepped away from him.
-- Well, what if your "guys" don't come, will you believe me then, David? By the way, you're holding an interesting item in your hand. What is it, if it's not a secret?

Okay, then I'll start grinding the roots.

— Alright, Kristoll,” replied Maylin. — I don't mind if I take this book to read before bed in the evening? It's really interesting!
While the girl was talking, she had already taken the roots, mortar, and pestle and started working.
— Look, am I doing it right? — she decided to ask, demonstrating her work.

If the format continues to be factory-food-sleep and there are no interesting dialogues, I'll skip to the morning.

- Oh, that's a great idea. To be honest, I had some doubts myself. The contract seems simple, and hopefully, it will be, but... Have you ever been ambushed in a forest and shot at with arrows? It's an extremely unpleasant situation.
He extended his hand for a handshake.
- Sid Vander, my pleasure. I need to get to my post now, and I'll be finished closer to evening, after which I was planning to start the assignment. If we're going to cooperate, that would be around that time. But it will still be quite light, so there's no need to worry about that. We can discuss the details right now if you like. If you don't have any urgent matters, we can even take a short walk in the direction of my route," he nodded towards the road. "As I see, you also prefer close combat? I see two main problems with this contract. We will probably find them, but the extent of their training is unclear. The farmer said that they are most likely former slaves of the Lafirs, so they are unlikely to be particularly trained for war or hunting, but goblins are agile, who knows? You can kill them with an arrow even in the joint of their armor. And they might have dug up some primitive traps. It's not certain, of course, if they are just simple thieves and garden raiders, but I wouldn't rule out that possibility. We'll have to proceed very carefully. In addition, the farmer said he saw only three of them, but there may be more.
