Knights of Tezoth

And what if he's on the side of Revnland Estellia? x) Or does he hold a grudge against Deus?
We only sent healers.
"The opinion of the enterprising Lord Githud on the conflict between Estellia and the capital" — I still haven't figured it out. He hasn't said anything coherent on that matter. Only about his desire to "stay on the sidelines." So it seems we'll have to make things up as we go. And making things up means "we don't trust milord Lyon"...
For now, that's probably where we should stop. Better to keep quiet about helping the capital (unless he asks directly; if he asks, we can say we helped with healers and that's it) until his position becomes clear.

eh. too lazy to rewrite, maybe I'll write about the healers after all

Nice, I've got quite the reputation — even lords know me by face and know my title 😎

- Lord Githgud views military conflicts negatively, as they contradict the peace-loving nature of Florenzan and its inhabitants, who strive for the development and prosperity of not only their own region but all of Tezoth, and such situations only harm those aspirations. For this reason, he would like to reach an agreement with the other lords on the joint defense of our regions, should anyone suddenly decide to start a war at our borders. In doing so, we agree not only to refrain from any aggressive actions against one another, but also to provide aid if one of the allies is attacked by a third party. As for the capital, one of Deus's knights recently arrived before us and requested assistance against the Estelian forces. My lord agreed to send our healers to them, while not losing hope that the parties can be brought to the negotiating table and the matter resolved peacefully, - taking a brief pause, Orvald added. - As I see it, this whole affair looks very strange and raises many questions to which there are no answers. The accusations from Estelia are not supported by any evidence, and no presumed motives for the crime have even been named. Time is needed to ascertain all the details, but it may not be enough if everyone starts making hasty decisions in the heat of the moment. That is precisely what Florenzan is trying to avoid.

All the lords know you 😎

All the lords know you 💀

Well, at the tournament, participants were probably introduced aloud. The man just has a good memory...

Yeah, try remembering the names of other Knights, you'll break your tongue on those

Random IRL teachers have to remember so many names and faces...

I've been wondering, are we even aware of what happened in Olivus and that Alsira is now there instead of the lord?🤔

Alaria and Rezara definitely know. Though given the geographical proximity, we probably could too.

Rezara learned it from Alsira herself during a personal visit

— I think, since you and Manka have undergone unscheduled procedures, the two of you really should rest. Meanwhile, I'll give these horns to the master, and we'll see what comes of it.

Stefania was about to say that they would set out at dawn. But she caught herself just in time.

Unfortunately, there was no named artisan in the guild expedition camp, and the horns had to be given to someone who had neither a portrait nor a name. Nevertheless, the work was done more than satisfactorily. Stefania receives Shinma's Bow.

Shinma's Bow
Damage: 100, range: 15 on the ground, 10 in the air, +50% to accuracy, removes positive effects from the target, duplicates negative ones, does not break.

- I understand you, Knight of the Golden Tower. If your words are true, Kabocha agrees to conclude a defensive pact with Florenzan, but it will only apply in situations where the initial source of the conflict is an external aggressor.
__________
- Thank you, Rezara. You are the only one I can rely on.
As a token of gratitude for the warm words and a reward for good work, Adata allows Rezara to take a better look at her new attire.

Judging by her not entirely natural aura, Renavan the Pious's lessons were not in vain.
__________
- Normal? Not at all. That sexy one. That was surely a witch. But I admit, I'm not sure of my memory, sir... And besides, I remember names well, but not faces. I think if we don't find an artist soon, I'll forget all the details entirely. And as for the ears... Honestly, I didn't pay attention to who would even be interested in ears when there are other things to look at? You'd have to be a pervert.
- My name is not Archivist. If you address me that way, Mr. Alseus, I will simply ignore you, got it?
- Then how should I address you?
- A name is indeed needed, but you two aren't supposed to know it yet. Let it be Eptsiletos.
- Ept... Why so complicated?
- If you have a human IQ, there shouldn't be anything complicated.
- Ikt...?
- Never mind. Less you know, sounder you sleep.
__________
- I don't have a large collection of sketches, since I only take individual commissions and each design is unique, but I can show you something — I understand that before sacrificing your skin, you need to know the master's skill level.

- For example, I did one for a guy's back. Heard he later became a sea pirate, or even a captain — made it big, in short, though probably not comparable to knightly prestige.

Rezara bids farewell to Adata and sits down to rest in a nearby garden, or something resembling one. For some reason, she felt a sense of longing right now.

"Most sides in the emerging conflict are treacherous villains, but what if we... we are also treacherous villains?" — the silent question of milady Scarlet Blade vanished into the void.

How fortunate that her father left this mortal world when he did... he lived simply, died simply, and never witnessed anything terrible. Lucky.

With such thoughts, the lonely Rezara continued to gaze into the distance with sadness.

- Absolutely, and personally, I hope it won't be needed, but life loves to spring surprises, including unpleasant ones, - Orvald replied. - And what should I convey to Lord Gitgood regarding your stance on the situation with Estellia and Deus? Will you support either side if they approach you? I assume the capital's knights will visit all the lords of Tezoth, unless any complications arise.

— Thank you, my good man, — Stefania gladly accepted the new weapon, which was to replace Lightning.

Now all she had to do was rest, to prepare and set off with Eugene and ten warriors into the unknown.

Revan, if I understand correctly, crafting the bow used up AP and now I need to sleep and spend supplies?
