“Welcome, sir,” said a girl with two pairs of animal ears – natural cat ears and artificial rabbit ears – greeting him at the entrance to the casino. “Is this your first time visiting us?”

- Yes. I recently arrived in the city and am looking around. What gambling games does your establishment offer?

— Even so? — the sorceress arched her eyebrow in surprise. — That’s a shame. In my opinion, it’s a very good idea. It’s strange. I can understand why the current government might not approve of this restaurant. I was even surprised that such an establishment exists here. But why they disapprove of a similar establishment aimed at women, frankly, is a mystery to me.

The bartender shrugged, expressing her confusion.
— This restaurant was built long before the current empress and her entourage came to power, and from what I heard from my predecessor, dealing with the government in those days was much easier.

— I can believe that, — the girl said, recalling the concept of "Azure Alley". — Well, I hope your superiors will be able to find common ground with the top officials of the empire.

— Of course, I will be happy to tell you about everything and show you everything after you pay the subscription fee of 4500 air.

— I readily believe that,” the girl recalled, remembering the concept of “Azure Alley.” — Well, I hope your management will be able to find common ground with the top of the empire.

Having chosen a convenient (?) place for herself while waiting for her order, Linderia notices that for some reason most of the staff in this establishment were elves.
After a while, her order appeared on her table.

The unusual composition of the local staff surprised the Moenian woman somewhat – she had rather expected that Mirai women would predominate in "Sukebe." She had, of course, heard that some elves, like their legendary heroine, had warm feelings for Mirai culture, and that "Lunar Princess" was likely the closest such place to Meristia, but it could just as easily be the other way around – the owners of "Sukebe" could have warm feelings for Meristian women. Perhaps in the future, it would be worth paying attention to the percentage of elves among the visitors to this area. In any case, pondering this seemed somewhat amusing to Lindernee, in light of her recent visit to Inaru – a lover of Mirai culture, who was in a relationship with a native of Meristia.
When her order was finally brought to her, the sorceress politely thanked the waitress and, deciding that she could speculate endlessly about the peculiarities of "Sukebe," but the food might get cold, she began to eat.

The food turned out to be quite good and was definitely not inferior to what Linder had eaten in the past. However, the noisy atmosphere might have prevented her from fully enjoying her meal.

Around noon, the door to the "Griffin" headquarters burst open, and a swift black whirlwind with purple highlights rushed in, which, as it soon turned out, was Valdemar Karaf. Vigorously waving the volume of "Legends of Krag" clutched in his right hand, he stopped in the center of the main hall and was already ready to tell the people about the results of his literary research yesterday, but, not seeing the proper enthusiasm on the faces of those present, he tempered his ardor. -- Well, what are these sour faces? Is the morning not going well? Is it already past noon? Or has someone died here? As it turned out, that was exactly what had happened. Valdemar even became quite serious upon hearing the news. -- And it's true... he's really dead... -- he frowned. -- And where has everyone run off to now? The Baron – has he rushed to the square? Ah, yes. That... one. I guess I'll get used to this eventually. Valdemar, who had spent the previous night reading the epic about Krag until late, while simultaneously consuming brandy, fell asleep with the thought of how insignificant and pathetic today's life is compared to the past, glorious, and heroic, albeit somewhat chaotic, times. This thought was further aggravated by his acquaintance with the Baron's heroes, an interest in whom he, of course, respected and even shared in his friend, but until today, he had never truly believed in. And now, here it is. Hello, real world, you have managed to surprise me after all. Meanwhile, the spoiled stomach of the aristocrat treacherously rumbled. Valdemar, too engrossed in the ancient legend, had ignored both the evening and morning meals, and now he was going to have a meal at "Snow White," but – alas! It seems he will be dining at "Sukube" today. Moreover, variety is always a good thing.

Without a doubt, the local chefs knew their craft – the results of their work were well worth the money and evoked memories of her student days. Or, at least, they would have, if the loud laughter of one of the patrons hadn't distracted Lynderia. It was this noise that eventually prompted the sorceress to abandon her thoughts and wander further through the "Lunar Princess." Instead, after collecting her gear, she headed straight for Lower Clematis. However, before returning to the "Griffins" base, the girl decided to visit Gray Lorbez, whose advertisement she had seen a few days ago in the workers' guild. She wanted to find out more about the job he was offering.

Just like with Linderney and Ivo before him, at the entrance to the Miraian quarter of Valdemar, a local guard stopped them, greeted the guest, and asked him to hand over his weapons and other combat gear before proceeding further.

Behind the doors of the house indicated in the job description, Linderney was met by someone with a rather displeased expression.
— What do you want?

/I wanted to ask Ples if he had picked up the gear, but yes, Ples is doing a good job.../

Otherwise, some malicious GM is probably just waiting for an opportunity to catch players off guard with such a situation...

Just like with Linder and Ivo before him, at the entrance to the Miraian quarter, Valdemar was stopped by a local guard who, after greeting the guest, demanded that he surrender his weapons and other combat equipment before proceeding further.

Valdemar perceived the demand, as well as any other demand, negatively, but surrendered his weapons without objection.
Revan, give me some info about the map.

Behind the door of the house mentioned in the quest description, Linder encountered a rather displeased face.
— What do you want?

— I apologize for the disturbance,” the girl completely ignored the stranger’s rude tone, “I’m here in response to an advertisement from the workers’ guild.

Well, I was also confused that you wrote "охранник" with a question mark every time.
