Could I ask you to wander the city streets and observe the locals while I'm away from home?

Wow, we've got some serious espionage going on here.

How to swing a sword in the garden for fun.
Revan, does armor with magic work together?

It depends on which one. Basic schools, yes, but the more advanced ones, no.

-Damn, you're right! You're so smart, Leo! That's why I decided to summon you! - Anders thought - but asking him to go for a walk might not be the best idea - because he might just refuse... Can I ask you to wander the streets of the city and study the locals while I'm not home? If you saw them with your intelligent gaze, I wouldn't have to describe each person individually!

— You're such an exploiter, — the cat rolled his eyes, — let's see, luckily the city isn't that big.

— Are you familiar with any of these works?

-- Yes, Sir Theodahad, -- having learned more specifically about the guest's title and profession, Vegi decided that it would be more appropriate to address him that way. -- Rika Serdolik and Felicia Lungwort. But I doubt I can tell you anything new about valkyries, given the order you belong to. Or are you still interested in listening?

— You are such an exploiter, — the cat rolled its eyes, — let's see, luckily the town isn't that big.

—Thank you, Leo! — Anders hesitated and added somewhat sheepishly — and if I pet you, will you like it?...

-- Yes, Sir Theodahad, -- having learned more specifically about the guest's title and occupation, Vegi decided that it would be more appropriate to call him that. -- Rika Heartstone and Felicia Longworth. But I doubt I can tell you anything new about the Valkyries, given the order you belong to. Or are you still interested in listening?

— I'm just curious about the level of education of the youth in this city. It would be a shame to live near a church and not touch its free literature, regardless of religious affiliation. But yes, I wouldn't mind hearing your opinion about these two Valkyries. Of course, only if it doesn't bother you.

-Thank you, Leo! - Anders hesitated and added a little embarrassed - and if I pet you, will you like it?...

— It will be okay. Just... I hope you washed your hands since the last time you fantasized about the lady of your heart?

Veserod sighed heavily after her. He wasn't good at socializing, he wasn't good with children, and he was angry with himself for getting involved in all of this. With a heavy heart, he headed into the western forest, hoping that a walk would help him break free from the shackles of human foolishness.

In the western part of the Veserod forest, he encounters Gregor.

“Well, let’s say you taught me how to work in the garden last week,” Calentia smiled. “As for the words about the sword, is that a figure of speech, meaning general combat training, or do you specifically mean the ability to wield such weapons?” The girl nodded towards the landsknecht’s two-handed sword.

— It will be alright. Just... I hope you washed your hands since the last time you fantasized about the lady of your dreams?

Anders blushed deeply:
-I-I-I didn't do anything like that! I don't even know what you're talking about!
Eventually, after petting Leo, but trying to do it in a way that wouldn't bother him, Anders went to study magic. However, before making a choice of school, he approached the baron:
-Good morning! Could you please tell me a little more about the different schools of magic so that I can make a more informed choice...

– Actually, that’s true, sir; many of the outsiders come here often, – Gulveig confirmed. – I would say… whenever they have the opportunity. So, who knows, maybe our ranks will grow over time.
– As for the valkyries, they have inspiring stories. Both received the blessing of the Mother, although they chose to serve her in different ways. This is even evident in their stigmas, the attacking one versus the defensive one. And their character – eradicating heresy versus opposing those who do not love the Mother, gradually defeating them and convincing them of their own righteousness. Of course, there were conflicts on this basis… but that’s trivial. I think the Mother deliberately chooses people with different characters to serve her.
If there are books in the library besides the valkyrie ones, and Gulveig read them (she should have, after 20 years), then she also mentions them. And about the chronicle of the valkyries during the Artherian Schism, it’s not a book from the library, but she says in passing that she is also familiar with it, thanks to Calentia.

/The Chronicle borrowed from Kal./

In short, I'm afraid I'm leaving. I'll leave the crossbow to Sivu, and you can divide the rest as you wish. Maybe later I'll write a text about how the depressed Danya couldn't handle the horror with the trees and decided to quit. But if Revan comes up with something in the spirit of "Gungnir decided to send the guy on a separate personal quest and told him to go with empty hands," I won't be upset :3

-- Well, let's say you taught me how to work in the garden last week, -- Calentia smiled, -- but as for the words about the sword, is that a figure of speech, meaning general combat training, or specifically the ability to wield such weapons? -- the girl nodded towards the landsknecht's two-handed sword.

— Well, how about it? I was a landsknecht, so I can teach you how to earn more money and not die in the first serious battle. And the two-handed sword is the hallmark of this profession, and knowing how to use it won't hurt anyone.

In the evening, which had already become the evening of the past week, Ilva was recounting to Renold the events she had read in the Valkyrie tomes from the church library. She knew that even though the young man didn't have time to study such literature himself, he would be glad to hear something new about our world. And although the Artherian books should be treated with a certain degree of skepticism, the girl didn't find anything too reprehensible in these particular works.
—And guess what, that hunter, Veserod, gave her three raymo flowers!
—I didn't know guys were already giving you flowers, —Renold smirked.
—Actually, they're for cooking, —Ilva waved her hand. —But it wouldn't hurt if someone actually gave me flowers sometimes.
Before they could finish their conversation, they had to participate in a strange event organized in honor of the baron's wife's birthday. Ilva eyed the camera with suspicion and tried not to be in the frame more than necessary; Renold, on the other hand, watched it with undisguised interest and regretted not asking for a photo as a souvenir.
Having finished another busy day, like a dish that had become a bit tiresome but was still useful, they finally had some time to be alone, and they spent the following night in each other's arms.

***

This morning, Renold woke up early, but to his surprise, he couldn't fall back asleep. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but among the endless stream of them, he clearly realized that he was no longer worried about the recent adventures in the forest. Apparently, Doctor Eisen truly lived up to all the positive rumors he had heard about him.
Deciding to definitely thank the medic when the opportunity arose, the young man quickly dressed and headed to the quest board as usual. After reviewing it, he noticed that the interview announcement was still posted. Interesting, hadn't anyone wanted to participate? In addition, Renold considered the magic training, but after a moment's thought, he dismissed the idea: he already lacked time to practice fencing, and now he also had to learn how to wear light armor.
->But first, to the Chronicles of Eugen.

Ilva, "first thing" (of course, after carefully grooming herself in front of the mirror and making herself look presentable), headed to the town market. She was interested in the same list of ingredients as usual.
->buying everything + for 3 Artherians, if available
Of course, she couldn't help but notice the announcement about the upcoming magic training. What if you could really learn it that easily? The girl imagined herself throwing a scorching fireball at a pile of cursed dendroids, saving Renold from a fatal blow at the last moment, and couldn't suppress a involuntary smile. But on the other hand, she thought, what if she couldn't do it? She could only imagine how ridiculous and silly she would look.
Lost in thought, Ilva found herself at the entrance to the training hall. No, this time she wouldn't just stand and watch as her brother single-handedly defended their lives. Maybe she could help him in some way too?
A small list mentioning magical schools put the daydreaming girl in a quandary. She looked around guiltily, noticing how easily and quickly the other students were making their choices. Oh, she should have devoted more time to at least the basics of magical science! Unable to come up with anything sensible, the girl overcame her shyness and approached Emilia.
—Excuse me for interrupting... But I can't understand almost anything from this collection, —she mumbled guiltily. —I would like to help my allies, so I'm leaning towards sun or maybe water. But I wouldn't want to start studying something that I don't have an aptitude for...

Anders blushed deeply:
-I-I-I didn't do anything! I don't even know what you're talking about!
Eventually, after petting Leo, but trying to do it in a way that wouldn't bother him, Anders went to study magic. However, before making a choice of school, he approached the baron:
-Good morning! Could you please tell me a little more about the different schools of magic so that I can make a more informed choice...

— Tell me, Anders, do I look like a wizard?
