And Valkyries only give bonuses to Fortress units, right?

/Some, but not all. Neira definitely received a bonus from the book./

- Maybe we should ask Rohey. Perhaps their tea is expensive... - Veserod couldn't help but glance at the table, as if wanting to check if the refined Gregor would still have his head. - What exactly do they do?

Gregor Filanemo possessed natural dexterity and was meticulous in every movement, and therefore was currently outside the risk zone of losing his head. — Hmm... For now, my knowledge is too superficial for me to accurately convey each of the numerous stages of this ritual, but I think that its tasks interestingly combine what we were talking about not so long ago. On the one hand, it requires adhering to very strict rules; special gardens and houses are built for its performance, and certain utensils are used – these are aspects of an advanced civilization, one that thinks too much about every movement. On the other hand, life in a civilized society creates a relentless pace of everyday life, which blurs one moment with another and forces a person to seek a way out of this insane cycle... The tea ceremony allows one to rest from this, to temporarily forget about worries, to create a serene mood, gives the opportunity to enjoy beauty, and helps to see the truth – to look with an unclouded gaze at both life as a whole and at the events of one's own life.

- Yes, I think it's worth a try, if it doesn't go away on its own, - the guy replied. - Are you also involved in preparing for the birthday? Maybe you need help?

— Yes, I'm overseeing the process, so to speak, but we have more than enough helping hands today.

Anders looked at the bulletin board and went to Gerde.

After praying to the Mother, Gulveig unexpectedly felt full of strength again, as if the week of gardening and work had never happened. Delighted, she ran to her room, where dendro-twigs were lying on the windowsill, wrapped in a wet cloth (I assume she had no problem collecting them after the battle, since Revan didn't comment – of course, those that were broken off and not healed by the spirit to the state of a normal tree with roots). Taking them, she went to visit her teacher, Vergil.

Veserod listened to this story with skepticism. From his experience, no developed civilization could distinguish between truth and tranquility, even if they jumped out from behind a bush and gave them a good kick. Every minute of delay is perceived by the inhabitants of cities as a missed opportunity: while you contemplate, ponder, or pick your nose, others are busy, earning money to spend on decorations and trinkets, so they can flaunt themselves in front of other squirrels in the wheel for a couple of hours a week – at best, and at worst, they pay off debts to those from whom they borrowed money earlier, with huge interest on top. The rest live from paycheck to paycheck and spend their rare free hours drinking heavily. Those who have children partially direct their hellish labor towards providing for their future, and this would certainly be worthy of respect if the unfortunate offspring did not face the same fate as a galley slave from dawn to dusk, from one stone box to another, from another to a third, and from the third back to the first. He didn't have to look far for an example: at the sight of the sickly, pale Egon, Veserod's heart was filled with sadness. The clever boy, and his soul yearns for something beyond the confines of his enclosure, was born in this oppressive environment by unhealthy parents and suffers from constant ailments.
Veserod frowned and shook his head, dismissing these thoughts, after which he realized that he had been silent for some time and had not answered Gregor.
- Sounds... interesting, - he shrugged.
On the other hand, his own experience was mainly limited to Baldur, where things were somewhat easier, and a couple of other relatively small cities that he had visited in passing with Gungnir a few years earlier. He didn't even want to think about what was happening in the largest metropolises or capitals. Most likely, people there burn out like matches, since even Gregor himself wanted to escape this "life" and give up his titles.
Veserod frowned, stroked his beard, and fixed a suspicious gaze on the book, almost burning it through with his eyes. Perhaps another civilization, if it is truly as developed, and if its paths differ from the Serberian ones, at least partially realizes all the inevitable evil that is inextricably linked simply by the fact of its existence? In all the times that Veserod had the opportunity to meet, communicate, or work together with Rohey, he could not help but notice in the swordsman and in the movements of his fighting style a certain barely perceptible melancholy, a willingness to accept any outcome, which greatly contrasted with the fussiness and vigilance of the local warriors, guards, and other weapon-bearers.
- Yes... Interesting, - the hunter confirmed, finishing the silent pantomime, from which all his thoughts were undoubtedly read as clearly as from an open book. - It's almost a tradition, rooted in the past? I'm even curious to see it...

Unlike many of her comrades, Alessia wasn't tormented by nightmares that night. Perhaps because her memories of the ill-fated evening of February 1st didn't include the heavy blows of branches against her vulnerable flesh, the roots entangling her legs, or the pain and fear of imminent death brought by the tree's poison. She simply ran away from the cursed tree-creatures, covering her face with her hands... and then it was over. And they brought this girl here and treated her as if nothing had happened, as if her alcoholic father had simply left her on the doorstep of the baron's estate, as he had done with many others before her. They should have paid more attention to the one who may have had a direct connection to the fact that the population of Baldur didn't miraculously decrease by a dozen young people, and who had spent who knows how long in a state that no human being could endure. But judging by the fact that the baron, apparently, felt neither anxiety nor doubt when he ordered his wards to fight each other with weapons for his amusement, or when he sent a group of young men to the mercy of an army of tree-creatures, it's unlikely that such ominous circumstances could have disturbed him. Something ominous was also present in Yua herself. She was too perfect. Too cheerful. It was easier to find something dark in the Artery itself than in this offspring of the forest. Something was wrong, something was definitely wrong... Idleness always led Alessia to all sorts of bad thoughts, and those, in turn, led to a sad and completely unproductive mood. Finally pulling herself together, she gathered her things and headed to the Mariendorf estate. After the clash with the cursed trees, the idea of learning at least the basics of self-defense began to seem less idiotic to Alessia, and she should first find out if her mentor needed her today.

🤔Suicide?

When the sea in an expedition is so deadly that even a valkyrie with the ability to control the waters of the setting couldn't handle the dangers.

Among the cultists was a Game Master character.

Laid passed by on a boat.

The luxurious estate of the Mariendorf family stood in stark contrast to the other structures in Baldur. This was evident both in the rare materials used and in the skillful work of the builders, who worked under the close supervision of a talented architect.
On the lawn with short-cut grass, Celine von Mariendorf and Yua were playing. Noticing the guest, the girls ran up to Alessia – Yua was the first, while Celine hid behind her back.
— Aunt Alessia, good morning! — Yua performed an elegant curtsy and smiled radiantly. — Would you like to play with us?

Gregor nodded understandingly. However, it was difficult to accurately determine what this gesture meant in this situation.
— I would also like to, but unfortunately, I don't currently have the opportunity to travel to Mirai and get to know its culture firsthand, while arranging the garden, buying exotic dishes and clothes would cost a colossal amount of money, not so much because of the high price of the goods themselves, but because of the cost of their delivery. — The aristocrat shook his head guiltily. — Nevertheless, my friend, know that if, or rather: when such an opportunity arises, you will be the first person I invite.

Gerda opened the door for Anders and, without even greeting him, led him into the room where the furniture needed to be rearranged. She quickly explained that the sofa and a couple of cabinets needed to be moved, without damaging their contents.
